-Caveat Lector- <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"> </A> -Cui Bono?- From: http://www.spotlight.org/01_02_00/Crash/crash.html More To the JFK Jr. Crash? Many readers were taken aback when The SPOTLIGHT, alone among the media, dared to suggest in a special report published on Aug. 16, 1999, that the airplane accident which took the life of John F. Kennedy Jr. might not have been an accident and that there was much more to the story than the mainstream media had reported. Independent populist journalist Pat Shannan has been looking into the death of JFK Jr. His findings confirm not only what The SPOTLIGHT already reported, but add shocking new data. Shannan was the guest on the Nov. 28 broadcast of The SPOTLIGHT's weekly call-in talk forum, Radio Free America, with host Tom Valentine. What follows is an edited broadcast of the interview, supplemented with additional data that has come to the attention of The SPOTLIGHT since Shannan's appearance on RFA. Valentine's questions appear in boldface. Shannan's responses appear in regular text. Many people, myself included, assumed that John F. Kennedy Jr.'s death was only an accident and really found it hard to believe that he might have been murdered. You've been investigating the matter further, though, and you've come up with some interesting information. I was out of the country on July 16, the Friday night JFK Jr.'s plane went down. I was in Australia, so I had only the benefit of CNN and other nonsense news that we get. The first thing I did was to send e-mails back here to the states to ask people if there was any reason for us to believe that this was anything other than an accident. At that time no one had any indication that it was. However, by the time I got home in August, there were all sorts of questions flying, the major ones being that Ken nedy had indeed radioed that night (he was 13 miles out) and we know that he did because it was reported. We even have the videotapes of the local Boston television station talking about it on the morning of Saturday, July 17. The UPI reports mentioned it in the Saturday papers and a local Boston radio station reported this story. These reports said that John Jr. talked to the Martha's Vineyard Tower at 9:39 p.m. He was casual. There was no "mayday" whatsoever. He said that he was 13 miles out, which put him 10 miles over the water (since the airport is three miles into the island). He actually had the airport in sight. He was going to drop off a passenger (as we know now, his sister-in-law, Lauren Bessette) and he was going to hang around the airport for a short while before taking off for the short jaunt over to Hyannisport around 11:00 o'clock. Those were his plans at 9:39 p.m. One minute later his plane was plummeting off the radar scope. Yes, The SPOTLIGHT reported this. The SPOTLIGHT has since learned, based on research by John Quinn, the Internet "Newshawk," that Kennedy did not contact the Martha's Vineyard Airport, but that he actually was in radio contact with the Federal Aviation Adminis tration installation at Otis Air Force Base on Cape Cod. This was before Kennedy would have contacted the airport for final landing clearance. The initial confusion in the early media reports (that Kennedy had contacted the airport rather than the FAA installation) is what helped muddy the waters and make it possible for the mainstream media to later claim (factually) that young Kennedy had never been in touch with the Martha's Vineyard airport. We also have another news piece that was suppressed and thus makes it so suspicious. As I have said time and again, if you suspect there is a news media "spin" coming across after the fact, you need to look at the first half-day's original news reports in the mainstream press. It takes about a half day for the reporters in the street to stop digging on their own and start taking the "holy message" that comes from above. After that, they strictly follow the wire stories and what comes from the "great one" above. For example, take a look at what Victor Pribanic told the press right after the plane went down. Pribanic is an attorney from western Pennsylvania who owns a fishing cottage at Martha's Vineyard. He was there that weekend and was fishing late. He heard an explosion and he termed it to be South and West of his position, toward what they call No Man's Land island. The SPOTLIGHT's special report on the JFK Jr. tragedy referenced Pribanic's early report (published in a local paper) that otherwise never received any national press notice at the time. If indeed a plane blew up there (where Pribanic heard the blast) and went down in that location, then you would have luggage, such as Lauren's overnight bag, and a wheel from the landing gear and some papers from the plane, wash up on the beach exactly where they did. But the following Wednesday when the plane was pulled up from the waterand they claim the plane was pulled up seven miles north of that locationit would have almost been impossible for the debris to have washed up where it did. At best the debris would have come in on the northwest end of Martha's Vineyard instead of the southwest end where it did. It would have been far more likely to have washed up in the Elizabeth islands or even on the mainland coast of Massachusetts. Obviously, then, people will have to assume that there is something wrong with the "official" reports. So how could they hide the location of where they pulled up the plane? One way was to keep the media away, which is what they did. No photographs were allowed. Since I wrote my story on the tragedy, published in Media Bypass, I have talked to one of the investigators, whose name and agency I cannot mention. He tells me that there were some agents of the FBI whom he knows personally who are very upset with the pattern that these investigative agencies have taken over the last few years, maybe even decades. And he says he is not the only one who is willing to tell the truth and leak these sorts of things to the media. Of course, we know that there are Secret Service agents in the White House, too, who have leaked things on Hillary Clinton. At any rate, this investigator has told me that he was there when they raised the plane. The tail was obviously blown out and the inside of the fuselage was charred and blackened and so were the bodies. He said there was no doubt about it that the plane was blown up in the air and all of the people were dead before the plane hit the water. He also said the plane was raised from where it really went down (that is, where the debris washed up, which would confirm Victor Pribanic's report about hearing an explosion there). The plane was not recovered seven miles northward as the officials claimed. What is wrong with the families that they won't press for the truth? As you and the world knows, this sort of thing has been happening to the Kennedy family for 35 years. This investigator told me that he had personally talked with Caroline Kennedy Schloss berg (John Jr.'s sister) and indeed she is well aware of what happened to her brother. She knows that the "spin" is in and she is terrified of being killed herself. I've covered these kinds of things all the time and yet it still amazes me. So I shouldn't be surprised. But I am. What about a motive? Who was responsible? The first one is that young John was planning to run for the Senate from New York against Hillary Clinton. With the long wake of bodies behind Bill and Hillary Clinton over the past few years, that theory shouldn't surprise anyone. I don't know if that would be reason to kill him, although I know that he, indeed, would have swept Hillary under the rug. The SPOTLIGHT noted that Jonathan Alter of Newsweek did say that JFK Jr. had been quietly exploring a Senate bid early in 1999 before the media started trumpeting a Hillary for Senate campaign. That had never been reported all during the time that the media was talking about Hillary for the Senate. The SPOTLIGHT speculated that perhaps the media's drumbeat for Hillary throughout the year was for the very purpose of trying to sideline John's possible Senate campaign. There's also been talk, and I haven't been able to pin this down, that, in addition, the July 26 edition of Newsweek was actually about to announce young John's impending entry into the Senate race, but that report was scrapped and never put in the issue that was published. I would love to be able to prove that. In George magazine, JFK Jr. published an expos on the role of Is raeli intelligence in the assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yit zhak Rabin. Now Israeli journalist Barry Chamish, who has been looking into the Rabin assassination, has said that "We don't know what drove [JFK Jr.] to stand alone in seeking the Rabin truth, but it may have had much to do with the information contained within Final Judgment," the book by SPOTLIGHT correspondent Michael Col lins Piper which alleges that Israel's Mossad played a role in the assassination of young Kennedy's father.
