EDITORIAL
The news today was so sad and disheartening, we had to go
searching among the proverbs for some solace.
"Whoever tells the truth is chased out of nine
villages." -- Turkish Proverb.
The next is difficult to believe today, but maybe it will
help.
"A lie on the throne is a lie, still, and truth in a
dungeon is truth, still; and a lie on the throne is on
the way to defeat, and truth in a dungeon is on the way
to victory."
The sad almost unbelievable news is that the House Select
Committee on Assassinations is going to report that
they found no evidence of a conspiracy in the assassination
of President John F. Kennedy.
The American people do not believe Lee Harvey Oswald
acted alone in the killing of President Kennedy.
The American people do not believe that police pimp,
Jack Ruby, acted alone in the jail surrounded by dozens of
police, when he killed Lee H. Oswald.
The American people do not believe the Chief Justice
of the United States tried to conduct a proper inquiry in
determining who killed our President.
The American people do not believe Gerald Ford would
have become President of the United States except for his
co-operation in double crossing the populace concerning the
assassination of President Kennedy.
It was George Washington who said: "Government is not
reason, it is not eloquence--it is force." It is the force
of the United States Government a few of us will continue
to face in trying to uncover the facts concerning the
assassination of President Kennedy. We have no illusions.
There will be no victories to brag about. But some of us
think it is worth the price.
We will continue to uncover the facts, and print them
as long as we can.
