1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Hidden power, secrets, cover-ups, corruption.

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:13,000
You think you know the whole story?

3
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,000
Think again.

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:22,000
I've been governor, a Navy SEAL, a fighter.

5
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,000
I've heard things that'll blow your mind,

6
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:30,000
and now I think it's time you get the whole story.

7
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:41,000
Now, the biggest conspiracy America's ever seen, the JFK assassination.

8
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,000
Our world was a patch, no question about it.

9
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:51,000
You thought the case was closed, but Jesse Ventura tears it wide open.

10
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:56,000
You were literally 10 to 15 feet away from the fatal headshot

11
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,000
and the Warren Commission never even called to have you testify?

12
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,000
New evidence and new suspects who still pose a threat today.

13
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,000
I sleep with a gun under my pillow.

14
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,000
Should I?

15
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,000
Maybe.

16
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:09,000
Maybe.

17
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,000
Did Lee Harvey Oswald act alone?

18
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,000
Did Lee Harvey Oswald act at all?

19
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,000
Were four future presidents involved in the plot?

20
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:25,000
I come across the astounding fact that he had been unable to remember where he was on November 22, 1963.

21
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,000
And what's the connection to Watergate?

22
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:33,000
Newly discovered documents, an exclusive deathbed confession.

23
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:38,000
I was brought in for a big event.

24
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:43,000
The more exposure I get in telling my story puts me in a greater level of danger.

25
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,000
All new, declassified.

26
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,000
Do I fear for my life?

27
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,000
Oh, s***.

28
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,000
The JFK Conspiracy.

29
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:58,000
I'm Jesse Ventura, a Mrs. Conspiracy Theory.

30
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:08,000
Jesse Ventura's investigation into the JFK Conspiracy has led to a motel on a seedy stretch of Hollywood Boulevard.

31
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:15,000
He's here to meet a man who claims to hold evidence that could crack the biggest government conspiracy of our time.

32
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,000
The man is afraid.

33
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Very afraid, for good reason.

34
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,000
What is it?

35
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Jesse Ventura.

36
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:32,000
The evidence this man is holding just might be the smoking gun.

37
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,000
He confessed that he participated in the murder of John Kennedy to you?

38
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,000
That's exactly true.

39
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,000
The assassination of John F. Kennedy.

40
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:44,000
When it comes to conspiracies, it's the granddaddy of them all.

41
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:52,000
If you can get away with killing a president, you can get away with anything.

42
00:02:52,000 --> 00:03:03,000
When I was a teenager back in the 60s, I believed the Warren Commission when they said Lee Harvey Oswald did it by himself.

43
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,000
But too much didn't add up.

44
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,000
The government couldn't wait to close the books on the case.

45
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,000
Me, I never let it go.

46
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:19,000
I've done my own research from Dallas to Havana, and I still haven't found all the answers.

47
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,000
That's how I wound up on this bridge.

48
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,000
A guy named Ron said he had some new evidence.

49
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:30,000
I have some very classified papers here that I have.

50
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:35,000
I've held on for years, but my health won't let me do that anymore.

51
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,000
So I wanted your team to investigate.

52
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,000
Okay.

53
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:46,000
They deal with the assassination of President Kennedy.

54
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,000
Ron didn't want to give his last name.

55
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:54,000
He did want to give me those papers, classified CIA papers.

56
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:59,000
He said he was developing a movie about the assassination when someone gave them to him.

57
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:06,000
He took one look and locked them away until he decided to hand them to me.

58
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,000
You know, I've always followed the Kennedy killing and studied it.

59
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,000
Is there something new here I'm going to learn?

60
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,000
It tells a lot of different stories.

61
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,000
The CIA is at the top of the list.

62
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,000
And Nixon.

63
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,000
Nixon.

64
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,000
Nixon.

65
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,000
Nixon.

66
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,000
Nixon.

67
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,000
Nixon.

68
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:30,000
Richard Nixon, the assassination of one president leads to another president.

69
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,000
This story needs to be told to the people.

70
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,000
They need the truth because nobody has ever told the truth.

71
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,000
Where did you get these?

72
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,000
I got them from a CIA agent.

73
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,000
Now that's a little bizarre.

74
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,000
CIA agents don't normally start handing out classified documents.

75
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,000
No, but this young man wanted to see this story told.

76
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,000
Where is he today?

77
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,000
I think he's dead.

78
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,000
You seem frightened a little, are you?

79
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,000
I've been frightened during my life.

80
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,000
Because you have these?

81
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,000
Yes, sir.

82
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,000
And I sleep with a gun under my pillow.

83
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,000
Well, now that I have them, should I?

84
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,000
Maybe.

85
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,000
Maybe.

86
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,000
Maybe.

87
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:17,000
He sleeps with a gun under his pillow.

88
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:23,000
After all this time, the forces behind the conspiracy are still out there.

89
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:28,000
These CIA documents might give a clue who they are.

90
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:34,000
I had some reading to do.

91
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:39,000
Turns out those papers set out a motive for JFK's murder in black and white.

92
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:44,000
And sure enough, Richard Nixon is in the middle.

93
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:51,000
It goes back to 1959, when Vice President Nixon oversaw Operation 40,

94
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:58,000
a CIA hit squad out to kill Fidel Castro, who just seized power in Cuba.

95
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:08,000
After JFK was elected, Operation 40 agents joined a failed invasion of Cuba at the Bay of Pigs.

96
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:12,000
According to these papers, JFK refused to try again.

97
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:18,000
So the Operation 40 gang decided to kill JFK.

98
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:27,000
They figured they'd point the finger at Castro and get rid of him for good.

99
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,000
This gets even wilder, people.

100
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,000
These documents link the killing of JFK to Watergate.

101
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,000
How's that?

102
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:40,000
Well, there was this Operation 40 back in the 50s that Richard Nixon was in charge of

103
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:45,000
that had E. Howard Hunt, Frank Sturgis, all the same cast of characters

104
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,000
that ended up being involved in the Watergate break-in.

105
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,000
These guys are working for the committee to re-elect the president.

106
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,000
In those days, the aptly named creep.

107
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,000
They were an assassination team back in the 50s.

108
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,000
Nixon leaves offices in the private sector for eight years,

109
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,000
but these guys kept on operating.

110
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,000
Comes 1972, up comes Watergate.

111
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:15,000
I think Nixon was set up on Watergate by these same people that these documents now link to JFK.

112
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,000
So why would they want to do that to Nixon?

113
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:25,000
Nixon had asked the CIA for all documents dealing with the Kennedy murder,

114
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:36,000
and I think that these rogues in the CIA did not want Nixon sticking his nose into the JFK murder eight years after it happened.

115
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,000
So, Governor, where do we start on this?

116
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:44,000
Well, I'm going to go talk to somebody that knows a lot about it, but unfortunately, he's dead.

117
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,000
Now that that would stop you.

118
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:58,000
The man who knew more than anyone about the forces behind the JFK assassination was Air Force Colonel L. Fletcher Proudy.

119
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:03,000
Proudy worked in the Pentagon as a military liaison to the CIA.

120
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:09,000
He died in 2001, but he left his secrets with a man named Len Osanic.

121
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:15,000
Osanic got Proudy to record hundreds of hours of testimony on video.

122
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:23,000
I need to know about the CIA, the Secret Service, the Pentagon, the Russians, as well as the Cubans.

123
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:29,000
I had no doubts that the murder was a carefully planned job.

124
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:34,000
If you remove the protection, you're going to have somebody assassinated.

125
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:42,000
And it was evident in the area of Dallas that the Secret Service coverage either didn't exist was at a minimum.

126
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:49,000
It was a major controlled coup d'etat that was absolutely effective.

127
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:59,000
Fletcher Proudy backed those CIA documents, but he also took the investigation in another direction, back to Lee Harvey Oswald.

128
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:06,000
Which means that he had been on the CIA. Oswald was a patsy. No question about it.

129
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,000
And that the murderers were professionals that I knew existed.

130
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:14,000
He said it flat out. Oswald was framed.

131
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:19,000
I'd heard enough. Yeah, there are a lot of different ways to go in this case.

132
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:24,000
But there was only one way for me to go. I was headed to Dallas.

133
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,000
Coming up. Fire in the hall!

134
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:36,000
Dealey Plaza. Jesse Ventura finds shocking new evidence at the JFK crime scene.

135
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:46,000
You were literally 10 to 15 feet away from the fatal headshot, and the Warren Commission never even called to have him testified?

136
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:52,000
Then a surprise admission at a place built to support the Warren Commission's lone gunman theory.

137
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,000
Well, I go home. I think there's more to it than Lee Harvey Oswald.

138
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:02,000
And later, Jesse confronts the man who thought he'd put all the conspiracy theories to rest.

139
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,000
You won't let me talk, because I want to interject some stuff here.

140
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,000
I'm sorry, Vince, but I turned off the camera.

141
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:25,000
Jesse Ventura has touched down in Dallas to reopen the investigation into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

142
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:32,000
Dealey Plaza. This is where the president was murdered on November 22, 1963.

143
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:38,000
The questions are, who fired the shots and where did they come from?

144
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,000
Several police officers are rushing up the hill at this time.

145
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:52,000
This is the event that inspired my work with conspiracies. This is why I always question authority. This is where it happened.

146
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:58,000
There's the turn in the road where the motorcade slowed down as Kennedy's convertible approached.

147
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:07,000
Up there, that's the Texas Book Depository, sixth floor. That's where Oswald supposedly fired the shots.

148
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:15,000
But over there, that's the grassy knoll. That's where a lot of witnesses thought the shots came from.

149
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:19,000
That's where the conspiracy theories were born.

150
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:29,000
And that's Bill Newman. He was standing right there on that terrible day.

151
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:40,000
He's one of the few witnesses who survived to tell his story. Many others died mysteriously.

152
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:44,000
Bill may be alive today because he slipped through the cracks.

153
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:51,000
Well Bill, this is about the spot right here that you and your family were standing at?

154
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:59,000
That's correct. My wife, Gail, and my two children, Bill, who was four at the time and Clayton, who was two.

155
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:03,000
President Kennedy came down just about the center lane?

156
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,000
He was out from the curb, probably something 10 or 12 feet.

157
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,000
10 or 12 feet, but you were this close.

158
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:17,000
As the president's car turned left onto Elm Street, probably some 100 feet or less from us, the first two shots rang out.

159
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:25,000
And it was a boom, a boom like that. Just as the car got straight in front of us, the third shot rang out.

160
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:33,000
The side of President Kennedy's head blew off. You could see the brain matter and the blood fly up.

161
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:37,000
Mrs. Kennedy, she screamed out, oh my God, no, they shot Jack.

162
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:44,000
I turned to Gail and I said, that's it, hit the ground and we threw our children down and covered them on the ground.

163
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,000
I thought the shot had come from directly behind.

164
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,000
Directly behind?

165
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,000
Shot came from behind.

166
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:54,000
Did you see anything in the book depository building or anything?

167
00:12:54,000 --> 00:13:01,000
No, no, I mean, I had no reason to look at the book depository.

168
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:06,000
I read the report you interviewed by the FBI, a one-page report.

169
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,000
Your wife about what, two-thirds of a page report?

170
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,000
You have it.

171
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,000
I have it. There's yours and there's your wife.

172
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:19,000
That was the only, I would say, the official contact that we had with any authorities.

173
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:29,000
You were literally 10 to 15 feet away from the fatal headshot and the Warren Commission never even called to have you testify or talk to you?

174
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:38,000
No, Governor, we were never contacted by the Warren Commission and I questioned that because others like yourself had asked that same question.

175
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:46,000
The Warren Commission, the new President Lyndon Johnson set it up a week after the assassination to investigate the killing.

176
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,000
The report concluded Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.

177
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:58,000
But before he died, Commission member Gerald Ford admitted that the CIA had destroyed or withheld critical evidence.

178
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,000
The Warren Commission didn't even talk to you. Never interviewed.

179
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,000
No.

180
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:11,000
It seems to me like they had the answer before they asked the questions. They already knew the conclusion.

181
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,000
Could be.

182
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,000
Good thing.

183
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:22,000
The Warren Commission's lone gunman theory relies on something called the magic bullet.

184
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:30,000
One bullet would have caused all the non-fatal wounds to JFK and Texas Governor John Connolly sitting in front of him.

185
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:34,000
Warren Commission staffer Arlen Specter came up with that one.

186
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:38,000
What do you know? He wound up a setting.

187
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:47,000
Gerald Ford later admitted that he changed the description of JFK's wounds to make the theory sound more plausible.

188
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,000
He wound up President.

189
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:55,000
You helped the Warren Commission in the cover-up. Good things can happen.

190
00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,000
So the fatal shot as far as you can say.

191
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:06,000
Fatal shot came from right there. Remember, Kennedy said went back into the left. Back into the left. All right.

192
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,000
Back and left. Boom.

193
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:20,000
General, please observe our Russians up the hill at this time. Stand by. Just a moment please.

194
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:32,000
The sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository where Oswald allegedly fired the shots is now a museum.

195
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:36,000
The museum presents the Warren Commission's version of events.

196
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,000
How come we can't ever get into the real shooter nest?

197
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,000
Preservation.

198
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:47,000
The wood floor is the same way it was back then. Even the markings on the floor which are visible on the crime scene photos are still there.

199
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,000
Preservation is the only reason that they do that and keep it the way it is.

200
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:56,000
Yeah, see, I have a difficult time with him making these shots.

201
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:06,000
I think that it's virtually next to impossible. The guy was not a very good shot to begin with because in the military when he only qualifies a marksman, that's the lowest you can be.

202
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:16,000
I had a chance to test the same type of rifle, same ammunition, and try to recreate Oswald's shooting sequence.

203
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:21,000
Assassination expert Jim Fetzer warned me about the weapon.

204
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:31,000
The Manlaker Karakana with the bolt action was so difficult that when you side in with the telescopic side after you work the bolt you're thrown off the target and you have to re-side again.

205
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:39,000
We got the crane. It's supposed to be 190 to recreate the elevation and distance of Oswald's perch.

206
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:45,000
Those hay bales represent the spots where JFK was hit.

207
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:56,000
Oswald supposedly got off three shots in 6.3 seconds. He had to shoot through trees too and his target was moving.

208
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:07,000
Just for the record, I was an expert marksman in both pistol and rifle. When I was governor of Minnesota, I amazingly still qualified as an expert at 50 years old.

209
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,000
Alright, weapon's going hot.

210
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,000
Stand by, fire in the hole.

211
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,000
Yeah.

212
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,000
Slam it.

213
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,000
Slam it?

214
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,000
Yeah.

215
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:18,000
Give it back.

216
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,000
There you go.

217
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,000
What a piece of s***.

218
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,000
Stand by, fire in the hole.

219
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,000
Okay, I got this, then take the rest out.

220
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,000
How fast?

221
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,000
11.17.

222
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,000
Well, let's go again.

223
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:55,000
The manlicker is so cheap and hard to work, there's no way Oswald could get off three shots that fast.

224
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,000
How much?

225
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,000
8.84.

226
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,000
Fire in the hole.

227
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,000
I hit the target and it was a good shot.

228
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,000
8.84.

229
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,000
Fire in the hole.

230
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:18,000
I hit the target a few times and even got in a head shot, but nowhere near the time Oswald supposedly pulled it off.

231
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,000
8.79.

232
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,000
And he did it in 6.

233
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,000
Bull s***.

234
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,000
This is f***ing impossible.

235
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,000
I'm not the only one.

236
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:40,000
In the past, a lot of re-enactments by expert marksmen failed, including ones by CBS News and even the Warren Commission.

237
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:45,000
I told the Sixth Floor Museum curator Gary Mack about our little test.

238
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:51,000
You're the curator of this museum, so naturally you have to follow museum policy.

239
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,000
Let's pretend we're not here.

240
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:54,000
Okay.

241
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,000
Let's pretend you and I are sitting out having a cold one.

242
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,000
Okay.

243
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:58,000
Sounds good.

244
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,000
What's your position at that point?

245
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,000
Personally.

246
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,000
Personal position.

247
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,000
Well, I go home.

248
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,000
I think there's more to it than Lee Harvey Oswald.

249
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:13,000
Even the guy who's paid to spout the party line doesn't buy the official theory.

250
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,000
I can't prove it.

251
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:22,000
I have some bits and pieces that to me say there's got to be more to it than Oswald, but I can't prove it.

252
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:28,000
And there are a lot more questions about Lee Harvey Oswald's actions that day.

253
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:34,000
Coming up, evidence that Lee Harvey Oswald was set up.

254
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:41,000
I submit to you that Lee Harvey Oswald was a low-level agent of the federal government of the United States.

255
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:46,000
Then, hiding in plain sight, Oswald's widow meets the governor.

256
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,000
He asked me a very brutal question.

257
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:53,000
Would you sacrifice your children for the truth?

258
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:59,000
And later, yet another U.S. president is linked to the assassination conspiracy.

259
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:04,000
He had been unable to remember where he was on November 22, 1963.

260
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:18,000
Jesse Ventura and investigator Alex Piper are in Dallas, Texas, tracing the route taken by Lee Harvey Oswald after he allegedly shot President John F. Kennedy.

261
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:28,000
His path from the book depository would lead to his death two days later, when he was shot by Jack Ruby in the basement of Dallas Police Headquarters.

262
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:35,000
After the assassination, Lee Harvey Oswald had plenty of chances to disappear, but he didn't.

263
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,000
He hopped a bus, but didn't make it to the Greyhound station.

264
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:48,000
He got out in traffic and took a taxi cab, passed the train station, and over the bridge, to his rooming house a couple of miles away.

265
00:20:50,000 --> 00:21:06,000
And when he gets here, he went inside, he changed his clothes, supposedly obviously picked up the revolver, rayon gun, and then the lady who owned this place said to him, you know, the president's been shot, you know, because of course it was all over television and all that.

266
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,000
And then he just went out the door.

267
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:12,000
At this point, Oswald supposedly took off on foot.

268
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:19,000
He'd walked three quarters of a mile when he was stopped on this residential street by a cop named J.D. Tippett.

269
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,000
There you see 10th and Patton.

270
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:32,000
Oswald supposedly fit a Dallas Police radio description of a JFK suspect, a white male, around 30 years old, about 5'10".

271
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:40,000
That description was based on a single witness in Dealey Plaza who said he saw someone in a book depository window.

272
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:44,000
How could he tell the guy's height six floors up?

273
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:51,000
Tippett is coming the same direction and pulls it, you know, and then confronts Oswald right here.

274
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,000
They have a conversation out the window.

275
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,000
Tippett gets out of the car and starts to walk around, and that's when he shot him.

276
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:03,000
And that's when Oswald shot him about four or five times with a revolver, and yet they found shell casings on the ground.

277
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:07,000
Why would he leave the evidence of shell casings lying next to the body?

278
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:13,000
You know, it's too pat, too easy, you know, is what it says to me. It's too perfect.

279
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:17,000
After the shooting, Oswald continued his walk.

280
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,000
Is this location on the way?

281
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:23,000
Well, it's in the general direction, but it is a slight detour.

282
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:33,000
And this is where the official story gets even more dicey, because the next thing Lee Harvey Oswald did was go to the movies.

283
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:40,000
Jim Mars was waiting for us outside the Texas Theater where Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested.

284
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:48,000
Mars is a major figure in the JFK conspiracy world. His book was a source for Oliver Stone's JFK movie.

285
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:53,000
I always found it kind of strange that here the guy has just murdered the president,

286
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:57,000
allegedly shoots a police officer and ends up here.

287
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:03,000
Now, while Oswald was in the theater, opens up a whole other area of investigation.

288
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:08,000
So I think he was here to try to make some kind of contact to find out what's going on, what's happened here.

289
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,000
So you're saying he came here to meet a contact?

290
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:12,000
Yes.

291
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:16,000
And then whoever it was that he was working for or working with cut him loose.

292
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,000
I think that's what happened.

293
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:19,000
And called the cops on him.

294
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:25,000
So who was the contact? Jim Mars says Oswald worked for the CIA.

295
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:33,000
I submit to you that Lee Harvey Oswald was a low-level agent of the federal government of the United States.

296
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:39,000
Other evidence backs Jim Mars and Fletcher Prouties claim that Oswald was in the CIA.

297
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:44,000
Oswald was a U.S. Marine stationed at the CIA base in at Tsugi, Japan.

298
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:55,000
At 20, the ex-Marine defected to the Soviet Union, then returned to Texas two years later without a hitch, but with a new wife.

299
00:23:55,000 --> 00:24:01,000
Then he struck up an unlikely friendship with an educated older man named George DeMoran Shield.

300
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:07,000
A lot of experts think DeMoran Shield was Oswald's CIA handler.

301
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:12,000
If anyone would know if Oswald was CIA, it's his widow Marina.

302
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,000
We did some digging.

303
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:18,000
We found that after all these years she still lives in the Dallas area.

304
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,000
I got her on the phone.

305
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,000
I think that Lee worked for the government.

306
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,000
I think that he was an undercover operative.

307
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,000
How much do I fear for my life?

308
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,000
Do you know what the Navy SEALs are?

309
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,000
Well, I'm one of them.

310
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,000
I don't carry that type of fear.

311
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,000
All right, bye-bye.

312
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:51,000
Her great fear is for her children, and I can't blame her in light of what she's lived through and what she knows.

313
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,000
She asked me a very brutal question.

314
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:59,000
She said, would you sacrifice your children for the truth?

315
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,000
Marina Oswald agreed to meet with me.

316
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,000
I had a lot of questions to ask.

317
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:17,000
Coming up, Jesse Ventura meets Marina Oswald, the widow of JFK's alleged assassin.

318
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:23,000
She said that she initially believed Lee did it because all she learned was the government's side of it.

319
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:29,000
Then, confrontation with the man who's tried to kill off the JFK conspiracy theories.

320
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,000
Okay, off.

321
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:37,000
And later, exclusive, a bombshell confession from one of the conspirators.

322
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:45,000
Jesse Ventura is breaking new ground in the JFK conspiracy.

323
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:54,000
Evidence suggests clear connections between the alleged assassin and the CIA.

324
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:59,000
Now the governor's headed off to meet Lee Harvey Oswald's widow.

325
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:09,000
Marina Prusakova was 19 and living with her uncle, a prominent KGB officer, when she met the US defector in Minsk in 1961.

326
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,000
She and Oswald married six weeks later.

327
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:21,000
Marina Oswald met me in a public place just outside Dallas.

328
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,000
She brought along her second husband, Kenneth.

329
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,000
We talked for two and a half hours.

330
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,000
But she refused to speak on camera.

331
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,000
She said she didn't want to put her daughters in jeopardy.

332
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:37,000
Nearly 50 years later, she's still afraid.

333
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,000
I asked her point blank, were you a Russian agent?

334
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,000
And she said, absolutely not.

335
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:48,000
She also felt that Lee was at some level working with the CIA.

336
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:56,000
She did feel also that George DeMorenschild was a CIA agent.

337
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:00,000
She felt that George came onto the scene out of nowhere like she said,

338
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:05,000
why would this rich guy George DeMorenschild take any interest in us?

339
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,000
We were so poor.

340
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:13,000
She said that she initially believed Lee did it because all she learned was the government side.

341
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:17,000
But she said today, she unequivocally feels he did not do it.

342
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,000
I did get this totally verified.

343
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:27,000
She took the famous photograph of Lee Harvey Oswald holding the gun and the communist paper.

344
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,000
She looked me right in the eye.

345
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,000
She said, yes, I took that photograph.

346
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,000
It's not doctored. It's not anything.

347
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:35,000
I said, why?

348
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,000
She said, I don't know why. Lee wanted it done.

349
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:43,000
I got the impression that Lee was under instruction to get those photos taken.

350
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:47,000
And I believe it was all part of creating the setup, you know,

351
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,000
to create these photos of him with the gun.

352
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,000
Hi, Governor. This conspiracy is getting bigger.

353
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:10,000
I found an investigator who linked George H. W. Bush to the plot.

354
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,000
Russ Baker was his name.

355
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:16,000
He dug up a lot of secrets about the Bush family for a new book.

356
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,000
I want to meet this guy.

357
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,000
I knew you would.

358
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:26,000
I expected another CIA connection, even another president.

359
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:30,000
But Russ Baker was about to tell me secret history.

360
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:36,000
Nobody really thinks of George H. W. Bush being part of the JFK assassination.

361
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:44,000
I came across the astounding fact that he had been unable to remember where he was on November 22, 1963.

362
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:48,000
And of course, anyone over the age of five, I remember where I was.

363
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,000
I was in seventh grade in junior high.

364
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,000
They announced it dismissed us and sent us home.

365
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:59,000
George H. W. Bush was actually in Dallas the night before he stayed overnight in Dallas.

366
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,000
And that day he was there in the morning.

367
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:06,000
We only know that the next shows up after the shooting in Tyler, Texas,

368
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,000
which is a short plane flight from there.

369
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:12,000
And he gets up at a Kiwanis Club meeting and is about to deliver his speech.

370
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,000
And then he says, I've just learned that the president has died.

371
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:20,000
And then he goes to a public phone and he calls the FBI and he identifies himself by name.

372
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,000
And he says, I may have some idea who shot the president.

373
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:28,000
What he was doing was creating a reason to put a document into the government records

374
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:32,000
showing that he was trying to be helpful and that he was in a place other than Dallas

375
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,000
around the time of the assassination.

376
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:40,000
This move by George H. W. just adds to suspicions he was involved with the CIA

377
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:47,000
long before he was appointed CIA director by President Gerald Ford in 1976.

378
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,000
Warren Commissioner Gerald Ford.

379
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,000
Is there documentation that backs this up?

380
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:57,000
There are two key documents, both declassified FBI documents.

381
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:04,000
This is an FBI document stating that George H. W. Bush reported that a young Republican in Houston

382
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:09,000
had threatened to kill the president the day before the assassination.

383
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:14,000
Moreover, an old friend of his, fellow by the name of George DeMoranchild,

384
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:18,000
was essentially the handler for Lee Harvey Oswald.

385
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,000
George DeMoranchild.

386
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:25,000
Most every person agreed he was the CIA connection to Oswald.

387
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,000
We didn't know his other connections.

388
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,000
He's a good friend of George H. W. Bush.

389
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:34,000
George H. W. Bush was a roommate in prep school with his nephew.

390
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:39,000
Really? And then there's a connection there naturally because George H. W. Bush was CIA

391
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,000
and so was George DeMoranchild.

392
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:42,000
Well, that's right.

393
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:46,000
Oswald's handler, this George DeMoranchild, whatever happened to him?

394
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,000
Well, fascinating thing, Jesse.

395
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:56,000
In 1976, when George Bush was the head of the CIA, he received a letter from George DeMoranchild

396
00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:00,000
and he says, dear George, congratulations.

397
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,000
I need your help.

398
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:03,000
I'm in trouble.

399
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,000
There's some kind of a net closing in on me.

400
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:09,000
Perhaps I've been indiscreet and talking too much about Lee Harvey Oswald.

401
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:14,000
Six months later, George DeMoranchild is dead from a shotgun blast to the head.

402
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:18,000
They called it a suicide.

403
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,000
So we got another connection to a president.

404
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,000
It seems a little tenuous to me.

405
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:24,000
Well, check this out.

406
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,000
This is also from Russ Baker.

407
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:31,000
This was taken outside the schoolbook depository just after the assassination.

408
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:32,000
This is just after it.

409
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,000
Does this man look familiar to you?

410
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,000
Man, I don't know.

411
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,000
It looks a lot like George H.W. Bush to me.

412
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:40,000
Oh, come on.

413
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:41,000
That could be anyone.

414
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,000
Well, a lot of people seem to think it.

415
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,000
That does bear resemblance.

416
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:51,000
Then there's the famous picture of the three tramps that were arrested in Dealey Plaza right after the shooting.

417
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:55,000
Now, there they are being marched across Dealey Plaza.

418
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,000
Many experts say they were dressed too good to be tramps.

419
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:02,000
You see the short tramp in the back, the old man tramp right there?

420
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:07,000
A lot of experts think that that is E. Howard Hunt, the CIA agent.

421
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,000
Operation 40-Gun.

422
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:09,000
The Water Geed burglar?

423
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:10,000
Yep.

424
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,000
The one and only.

425
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:20,000
Coming up, Vincent Bulliose put Charles Manson behind bars,

426
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:24,000
but he's not willing to confront JFK's real killers.

427
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,000
Tell me he had no connection to the CIA.

428
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,000
I'm sorry, Vince.

429
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:29,000
The tramps are going.

430
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:33,000
And later, the tramps' photos lead to a startling confession

431
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:36,000
and make the conspiracy very real.

432
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,000
Do you feel fear today in speaking out?

433
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:50,000
Jesse Ventura's investigation into the JFK conspiracy has taken him to Los Angeles.

434
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:54,000
His next stop is at the home of a very influential friend.

435
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:58,000
Vincent Bulliose was the DA who put away Charles Manson.

436
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:02,000
He's the prosecutor who wants to charge George W. Bush with murder,

437
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:06,000
for allegedly lying to take us to war in Iraq.

438
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:10,000
And he's author of the latest, most comprehensive book on the JFK assassination.

439
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:17,000
More than 1,600 pages, concluding that Oswald did it on his own.

440
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:23,000
Vince, in a nutshell, why do you think Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone and killed President Kennedy?

441
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:29,000
Jesse, Lee Harvey Oswald, everything, everything pointed to this guy's guilt.

442
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:33,000
Let's assume for the sake of argument that the CIA or the mob said, let's kill Kennedy.

443
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:39,000
Oswald would have been just the type of guy that the CIA or the mob would want to rely upon

444
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,000
to commit the biggest murder in American history.

445
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,000
I'm being sarcastic now.

446
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,000
Okay, then let me be sarcastic back.

447
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,000
Just the type of guy you'd set up to be the patsy.

448
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,000
You haven't read about...

449
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,000
I've read a lot.

450
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,000
All right, let me ask you this question.

451
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:59,000
Okay, you're going to get some tight-lipped assassin that's got a track record for you

452
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,000
that you know is going to get the job done.

453
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:05,000
You'd hire the good guy that can shoot that will get the job done.

454
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:06,000
That's right, that's right.

455
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,000
And you'll set up the crazy guy.

456
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:09,000
That's the answer.

457
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,000
And you'll set up the crazy guy to take the fall.

458
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:12,000
Okay.

459
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:19,000
There's no evidence that Lee Harvey Oswald ever had any association of any kind whatsoever

460
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,000
with his group's belief to be behind the assassination.

461
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,000
Okay, all right.

462
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,000
You won't let me talk if I want to be addressed.

463
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:27,000
No, wait a while.

464
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:28,000
You got your stuff here.

465
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:29,000
Wait a while, wait a while now.

466
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,000
Are you going to let me interrupt you when you're talking?

467
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:36,000
But when you tell me he had no connection to the CIA, who's George DeMoren shield?

468
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,000
George DeMoren was not CIA.

469
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,000
Oh, Vince.

470
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,000
Absolutely not.

471
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:43,000
Vince.

472
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:44,000
Absolutely not.

473
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,000
Both the House Select Committee and the Warren Commission.

474
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,000
And those I should, the Warren Commission, I definitely should believe.

475
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:50,000
Wait, wait a while.

476
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:51,000
Turn the camera off.

477
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:52,000
I'm sorry.

478
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:53,000
Off.

479
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:57,000
Vince is a friend, but that's what we're up against.

480
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:02,000
You can pile up all the evidence in the world and they don't want to listen.

481
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:06,000
Why hasn't anything leaked out in close to 47 years from all these conspiratorial groups?

482
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,000
Because there's nothing to leak out.

483
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:13,000
Well, something did leak out.

484
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,000
I got a lead on that photo of the three tramps.

485
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:22,000
A guy said he had first-hand evidence about that and a lot more.

486
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:26,000
He told me to show up at a motel on Hollywood Boulevard.

487
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,000
This wasn't the walk of fame.

488
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,000
This guy was lying low.

489
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:41,000
What is it?

490
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,000
It's a Ventura.

491
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:59,000
St. John Hunt is the son of E. Howard Hunt, the CIA spook who ran Vice President Nixon's hit squad, Operation 40,

492
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:04,000
who reunited the old gang to break the law for President Nixon.

493
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:08,000
He went to prison for mastermining the Watergate break-in.

494
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:13,000
Hunt died in 2007 and he took his secrets with him.

495
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,000
Well, not all of them.

496
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,000
Your father, E. Howard Hunt, he was involved obviously.

497
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,000
He was a CIA operative.

498
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,000
His whole life, 27 years in the CIA.

499
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:28,000
And there's many tie-ins with the murder of John Kennedy as well as Watergate.

500
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:34,000
Certainly have the Cuban faction that was involved in Watergate and can be traced back to the Cuban Revolution

501
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,000
and to the overthrow of the Gaster Richard.

502
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:40,000
St. John, let me ask you this. Do you feel fear today in speaking out?

503
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,000
It's a more sunlight that comes onto this.

504
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:49,000
The more exposure I get in telling my story puts me in a greater level of danger.

505
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:54,000
St. John Hunt's story provided some dangerous answers.

506
00:36:54,000 --> 00:37:03,000
First off, there was that photo of the three tramps at Dealey Plaza, the ones who looked too clean-cut to be hobos.

507
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:10,000
You know, my gut has always told me that that old tramp has just so much of a resemblance to my dad.

508
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:15,000
He had very unique looks. He had a very long, thin nostrils, you know, pointed face.

509
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:18,000
He had this kind of jowl thing going on here.

510
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:23,000
Well, if it's any consolation, I've looked at both your father's photo and I agree with you.

511
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:27,000
Yeah, I was aware of all these things, but you know, I just didn't know what to think.

512
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:34,000
And of course, my dad would never talk about it until he brought me down to his bedside in Miami, Florida,

513
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:38,000
when it was thought that he was going to live much more than another few weeks.

514
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:43,000
That's when a father was about to make a startling confession to his son.

515
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:49,000
St. John Hunt wanted me to hear some tapes he'd recorded in his father's final days.

516
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:57,000
E. Howard Hunt's Deathbed Confessions About Who Really Killed JFK

517
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:05,000
He was getting old and you sat with him and he confessed that he participated in the murder of John Kennedy to you?

518
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:10,000
That's exactly true. That was stunning information, shocking.

519
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:17,000
He said that there was in fact a plot that the plot was to have been carried out in Miami.

520
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,000
And it was changed to Dallas.

521
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,000
Well, rather than saying anything more, let's listen to it.

522
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:23,000
All right, here we go.

523
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:33,000
Coming up, the first time on television, a JFK conspirator confesses and names names.

524
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:37,000
I was a bench warmer for the big event.

525
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:46,000
Jesse Ventura is with the son of CIA operative E. Howard Hunt.

526
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:52,000
About to hear Hunt's Deathbed Confession of his role in the JFK murder conspiracy.

527
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,000
He admitted what to you.

528
00:38:54,000 --> 00:39:02,000
He admitted that the code name for the operation to assassinate President Kennedy was called the Big Event.

529
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,000
And he was proud of it.

530
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,000
How is one proud of that?

531
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:11,000
I mean, they really felt that determined that Kennedy was so bad for the country?

532
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,000
Well, not for the country, for the interests.

533
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:18,000
Operation 40 took people out. That was their job. That was their mission.

534
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:23,000
And it was the same bunch of guys that were trying to assassinate Castro.

535
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:29,000
David Morales, Frank Sturgis, who would have done anything to avenge the failure at the Bay of Pigs.

536
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:32,000
Well, rather than saying anything more, let's listen to it.

537
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:33,000
All right, here we go.

538
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:50,000
Sturgis and Morales and people of that yoke stayed in apartment houses during the preparations for the big event.

539
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:56,000
Their addresses were very subject to change.

540
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,000
I was a bench warmer on it.

541
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:07,000
We backtracked the chain of command during the run up for the big event.

542
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:14,000
There it was, all spelled out. E. Howard hunted, meeting a plot.

543
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:19,000
And it verified the information I'd gotten from old Ron.

544
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:22,000
Let's go beyond Kennedy and let's go to Watergate.

545
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:25,000
What were they there to find when they burglarized this place?

546
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:31,000
My father told me that there was a safe that they were to get into.

547
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:37,000
And that safe was evidence linking President Nixon to Operation 40.

548
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:43,000
Those notebooks, and they say, if you have all seen those notebooks, then you'd break them. No, sir.

549
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:48,000
The information that was in that safe, would that have also led to Kennedy?

550
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,000
It very much would have led to Kennedy.

551
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:58,000
If you have any idea why those notebooks disappeared, what was in them that would cause them to do that sensitive?

552
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:03,000
These guys were an intact, ready to go group of assassins.

553
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:11,000
They were sent worldwide to eliminate foreign leaders, diplomats, anybody that was unfriendly to the United States government.

554
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:17,000
And at that time, many people believed Kennedy was unfavorable to the United States government.

555
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:18,000
Absolutely, absolutely.

556
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:22,000
So all they would have had to do was take this Operation 40 and send it to Dallas.

557
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:26,000
And just point it in that direction. These guys were queued up and ready to go.

558
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,000
They were locked, loaded and ready to rumble.

559
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:34,000
The tapes added one more element. Another future president pulled into the plot.

560
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:41,000
First Richard Nixon, then Gerald Ford, then George H.W. Bush.

561
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:42,000
Now...

562
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:52,000
LBJ. He, in my opinion, had an almost maniacal urge to become president.

563
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:59,000
He regarded JFK as an obstacle to achieving that.

564
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:03,000
Lyndon Baines Johnson, the vice president, who became president.

565
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:07,000
Now this is the person that my dad implicated in the plot directly.

566
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:14,000
Looks like it took a dying man to finally get to the truth.

567
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:20,000
All these years later, people are still afraid to tell what they know.

568
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:26,000
Maybe that's why our leaders talk about change while everything seems to stay the same.

569
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:31,000
Maybe they know something we don't.

570
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:38,000
This is where JFK was laid to rest. The eternal flame marks his grave.

571
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:45,000
I came here to shoot this final statement, but the army wouldn't let me.

572
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:50,000
A guy named Ken Hawes from their public affairs office told us,

573
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:54,000
they don't like our show and what we've got to say.

574
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:57,000
So I got my congresswoman on the case.

575
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:02,000
All she got was more run around, more bull and no answers.

576
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:07,000
Almost 50 years later, it's still the same old military-industrial complex.

577
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:13,000
The same power still calling the shots, still threatening, still trying to keep us from the truth.

578
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:17,000
A lone gunman, a magic bullet, wake up.

579
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:21,000
I'm Jesse Ventura, and this is Conspiracy Theory.

580
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:55,700
The story of the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man who killed the man
