"THE TAKING OF AMERICA, 1-2-3"
by Richard E. Sprague (1976, 1985)
Chapter 10
Techniques, Weapons, and HUNDREDS OF DEAD WITNESSES
As Chapter 1 made clear, one of the two fiendish
stratagems used by the Power Control Group to cover-up the truth
and to fool the people was the use of various intelligence
techniques and weapons. The use of such techniques in
assassination and murder completely conceals the real killer's
presence or the real cause of death. From the moment the crime
occurs the public is led to believe that there is either one lone
madman assassin or that the death was accidental, due to natural
causes, or committed by natural enemies of the victim. Some of
the techniques are so unique that they are nearly impossible for
the average American to believe.
The intelligence forces of the United States as well as
those of other countries have out-Bonded James Bond. The
development of sophisticated murder methods and the control of
humans for warfare and spying in other countries came home to the
United States, effectively used by the Power Control Group.
Penn Jones, Jr. published a list of "mysterious deaths" in
his series of four volumes, "Forgive My Grief." Sylvia Meagher
published facts about the first eighteen witnesses at Dealey
Plaza murdered through the use of these techniques in the book,
"Accessories After the Fact." Very few people other than
researchers pay any attention. Two movies with somewhat wider
circulation, "Executive Action" and "The Parallax View," covered
the techniques fairly well, but they were considered to be
fiction by most viewers. So the PCG goes on murdering where and
when it is necessary, and it covers up the murders where
necessary.
In 1974 and 1976, two murders became necessary. Rolando
Masferrer, mentioned as a JFK conspirator, became dangerous to
the PCG, and he was eliminated in early 1976 with a
non-sophisticated weapon. A bomb was planted in his car in
Miami. The cover-up in this case merely involved planting an
informer who claimed Masferrer was killed by a rival anti-Castro
Cuban faction in Florida.
Clay Shaw became quite nervous in 1974 after Victor
Marchetti's statements to the press earlier that year made it
known that Shaw was a CIA contract employee and that the CIA gave
him assistance and protection before his trial in New Orleans and
after Jim Garrison arrested him. Shaw was murdered in New
Orleans by the PCG and the murder covered-up by simply
controlling his embalming and burial and blocking any local
investigation. The reason for his murder was to keep him from
talking and from returning to the public eye.
The techniques and weapons fall into several classes.
First, there are sophisticated weapons developed by the CIA. An
example of this is the umbrella poison dart gun used in Dealey
Plaza to shoot JFK in the throat. Such a weapon was postulated
by Robert Cutler and the author in mid-1975 as the one that fired
the first shot from near the Stemmons Freeway sign. This seemed
incredible to most observers and so wild an idea that the author
and Cutler did not discuss it with many researchers.
Then Mr. Charles Senseney, a CIA weapon developer at Fort
Detrick, Maryland, testified before the Senate Intelligence
Committee in September 1975 and described an umbrella poison dart
gun he had made. He said it was always used in crowds with the
umbrella open, firing through the webbing so it would not attract
attention. Since it was silent, no one in the crowd could hear
it and the assassin merely would fold up the umbrella and saunter
away with the crowd. (That is almost exactly what happened in
Dealey Plaza. The first shot had always seemed to have had a
paralytic effect on Kennedy. His fists were clenched and his
head, shoulders and arms seemed to stiffen. There was a small
entrance wound in his neck but no evidence of a bullet path
through his neck and no bullet was ever recovered that matched
that small size.)
Senseney testified that his Special Operations Division at
Fort Detrick had received assignments from the CIA to develop
exotic weaponry. One of the weapons was a hand-held dart gun
that could shoot a poison dart into a guard dog to put it out of
action for several hours. The dart and the poison left no trace
so that examination would not reveal that the dogs had been put
out of action. The CIA ordered about 50 of these weapons and
used them operationally. Senseney said that the darts could have
been used to kill human beings and he could not rule out the
possibility that this had been done by the CIA. He said he had
developed a dart-launching device that looked like an umbrella.
A special type of poison developed induces a heart attack
and leaves no trace of any external influence unless an autopsy
is conducted to check for this particular poison. The CIA
revealed this poison in various accounts in the early 1970s.
Among the witnesses, important people and conspirators
who might have been eliminated this way are: Clay Shaw, J. Edgar
Hoover, Earlene Roberts (Oswald's land-lady) and Adlai Stevenson.
A second category, already discussed in the Robert Kennedy
and George Wallace shootings, is the use of a "programmed"
assassin. The Manchurian Candidate always seemed to be a science
fiction story. It is now well known that the CIA has used
hypnosis and "programming" to achieve a number of objectives,
including murder. Certainly there is little doubt that Sirhan
Sirhan was under hypnosis when he wrote in his diary and
when he fired the shots in the general direction of Robert
Kennedy.
There is also evidence that Arthur Bremer was "programmed"
to shoot at George Wallace. It is conceivable that one of the
assassins in Dealey Plaza could have been "programmed". A man
surfaced after 1975 who --under deprogramming-- remembered a
firing situation resembling Dealey Plaza. However, it is much
less likely that the PCG had to use hypnosis in the JFK murder.
It is completely untrue that Oswald was programmed, as
the book "Were We Controlled?" by Lincoln Lawrence (an alias for
radio commentator Art Ford) postulates. The evidence shows
Oswald didn't fire a shot, that he was on the second floor of the
TSBD Building at the time of the shots, and that he was very calm
until Patrolman Baker pointed a gun at him. Strangely enough,
Ford's thesis is true. "We were controlled" by the PCG, although
he had the details wrong.
A third popular technique is, of course, the patsy. The
PCG has developed this to the level of a real science. The
assassination is allowed to be obvious, but the assassin is
presented as a single madman or criminal who acts alone. Lee
Harvey Oswald, Jack Ruby, James Earl Ray, Sirhan Sirhan and
Arthur Bremer have all been patsies. They are not all exactly
alike, nor is the way in which they were used the same in each
case. For example, Oswald and Ray did not fire any shots, while
Sirhan, Ruby and Bremer did. Sirhan and Bremer were
"programmed", whereas Ruby was talked into killing Oswald by his
friends in the PCG. Four of the five men were framed; a lot of
evidence was manufactured and planted to implicate them,
including fake diaries, fake photographs, planted guns, bullets
and shells, and men using their identities. The one who did not
fit this category was Ruby. It was not needed in his case
because he killed Oswald before live television and believed
until the day he died of cancer that his friends were going to
get him out of jail in exchange for his "patriotic" act.
The use of "seconds", men who looked like the patsy and who
used his name (true of Oswald, Ray and Sirhan) is a common
intelligence technique. The planting of fake photos in the case
of Oswald required some relatively special photographic
facilities, but the job was not done well enough to avoid
detection.
A fourth technique is the "accidental" death. Many
witnesses and conspirators have been murdered in this way. Lee
Bowers, the railroad yard control tower man who saw the real
assassins behind the picket fence in Dealey Plaza, was killed
when his car rammed into a concrete abutment in Dallas (it was
traveling at high speed). The doctor who examined Bowers prior
to his removal from the car, stated that he probably received
an injection of some kind prior to the crash. Louis Lomax, the
black author who was getting close to the truth in the Martin
Luther King case, was killed in Arizona when his car was forced
off the road after he was made to drive at high speed. Hale
Boggs disappeared in an airplane crash that left no trace of the
plane. And of course the classic "accident" occurred at
Chappaquiddick.
A fifth technique is an induced death that produces another
finding of the cause either by disguising the true cause or by
controlling the coroner or those in charge of burial. Examples
are: David Ferrie's murder by means of a karate chop to the back
of his head, disguised as an embolism of the brain, Clay Shaw's
murder by means unknown because there was no autopsy and complete
control of his removal and burial; Jack Ruby's supposed death by
cancer in jail (real cause unknown because he was never out of
the PCG's hands until he was under ground).
Then there is a favorite sixth technique: mock suicide.
Examples of PCG murders that somehow became suicides are: Hank
Killam, a husband of one of Ruby's dancers, who committed suicide
by throwing himself through a plate glass window off the street
in Miami; Betty Mooney, one of Ruby's girls who hung herself in
her jail cell by using her leopard-skin tights; Roger Craig, who
shot himself; Jesus Crispin, who knew Sirhan, supposedly killed
himself in his jail cell; Grant Stockdale, who threw himself off
the top of a tall building in Miami.
There are some on the list who were admittedly murdered,
but supposedly not by the PCG. These include Robert Perrin,
Nancy Perrin's husband; Buddy Walters, deputy sheriff under
Sheriff Decker, shot by a man he was trying to arrest; Eladio Del
Valle, a cohort of Ferrie, killed in Miami by an axe on the same
day Ferrie was murdered; Rolando Masferrer, blown up in his car;
Eddy Benevides, shot by an unknown assailant (he recovered). The
cover-ups in each of these cases were put into effect by
controlling the investigation or simply by not having one.
The complete list of deaths, including the eight major ones
(JFK, RFK, MLK, Mary Jo Kopechne, Lee Harvey Oswald, David
Ferrie, Ruby and Clay Shaw) numbers over a hundred. Here is a
partial list:
* John Kennedy

The large majority of these murders eliminated witnesses to,
participants in, or investigators of one of the assassinations.
People involved with the participants in one of the
assassinations or cover-ups were also listed above. The
participants were: Jack Ruby, David Ferrie, Clay Shaw, Rolando
Masferrer, J. Edgar Hoover (in the cover-up), and Robert Perrin.
There were four investigators: Jim Koethe, Louis Lomax, Dorothy
Kilgallen and Hale Boggs. The rest were witnesses or associates.
Two articles written in 1976 analyzed some of these
deaths and concluded that they were not accidents unconnected
with the assassinations of our leaders. Another analysis by the
authors demonstrated that fifty of the first seventy murders met
three criteria for proving death by foul means. All involved
people directly or indirectly linked to the major assassinations.
All met death under violent or very strange circumstances. No
autopsies were performed in any of these murders.
The Charles Senseney dart weapon might have been used in
some of the murders. The injection given Lee Bowers produced
such a paralytic and terrorized expression on Bowers' face that
the doctor examining his body exclaimed he had never seen such
before. Grant Stockdale was found to have died of a heart attack
on his way to the street from the top of a building (a dart might
have killed him).
