Book Description

August 14, 2012 1616086734 978-1616086732 1

Find out how the government has faked the suicides of politicians and government figures to cover up their assassinations.

 For years, the government has put out hits on people that they found “expendable,” or who they felt were “talking too much,” covering up their assassinations with drug overdoses and mysterious suicides. In Dead Wrong, a study of the scientific and forensic facts of various Government cover-ups, Richard Belzer and David Wayne argue that Marilyn Monroe was murdered, that the person who shot Martin Luther King Jr. was ordered to do so by the government, and examines many other terrifying lies we've been told throughout our country’s history. The extensive research shows how our government has taken matters into its own hands, plotting murder whenever it saw fit. 

Belzer and Wayne also examine the deaths of White House Counsel Vincent Foster, U.N. Weapons Inspector Dr. David C. Kelly, and bio-weapons expert Dr. Frank Olson, as well as the cases of two murders directly linked Lyndon B. Johnson, the 36th President of the United States.

“Big Brother” is watching you—through the scope of a sniper rifle. Dead Wrong will give you the straight facts on some of the most controversial and famous deaths this country has ever seen. The harsh reality is that our government only tells us what we want to hear, as they look out for their own best interests and eliminate anyone who gets in their way.

5.0 out of 5 stars DEAD WRONG IS DEAD RIGHT August 22, 2012
By Sara
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book looks at the mysterious deaths of 10 subjects by laying out how the official rulings contradict the ballistics, eye-witness accounts, laws of physics, and reason.

Marilyn Monroe had so many drugs in her system that there was enough to kill 15 people even though she had no access to that amount of pills. She also had no traces of pills in her stomach, leading to the conclusion that she was killed with an enema, possibly by the Mob in order to create scandal for the Kennedys. Read the chain of events of the day and evening leading up to her death and the aftermath of the circus that ensued to cover up the murder.

See the lunacy of the claim that Oswald shot JFK in the front of the head while perched in the book depository building, which was behind the motorcade. Learn how Sirhan Sirhan shot RFK with a gun held three inches from the back of the senator's head, all while standing 10 feet in front of him. Martin Luther King's sniper stood much higher and to King's right, not directly across the way where authorities claim James Earl Ray made the shot. Even King's family didn't believe Ray to be guilty and in 1999 a jury concluded that King was murdered in a conspiracy "including government agencies."

Vince Foster, lawyer to the Clintons, was found dead in a park of a suicide in which no gun was found at the scene, and then a black gun turned up in his hand, and then a silver one. His body and the ground under him showing little blood and tissue matter-- and impossible feat for such a graphic and horrific way to die.

Read how eyewitnesses were forced and intimidated into changing their stories in order to match official findings. Learn about LBJ's hitmen, Oswald's link to the kill Castro plot, Aristotle Onassis' claim that he fronted the money for Bobby Kennedy's assassination- and even more shocking revelations that are neatly presented in this ground-breaking, fascinating account of history and the people who have been subverting the truth for years. "Dead Wrong" is scientific, meticulous and detailed, yet reads like a gripping suspense novel. I look forward to reading more from Richard Belzer and David Wayne. Don't miss the most talked about true crime book of the summer.

5.0 out of 5 stars The evidence is in: now what? August 17, 2012
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Length: 4:04 Mins
This book by Richard Belzer and David Wayne is an excellent addition to the library of JFK assassination books. In this book, I concentrate primarily on whether or not the purchaser should get the Kindle or the hardback edition. I also focus exclusively on the chapter on JFK, given my familiarity with the topic after having written Impossible: The Case Against Lee Harvey Oswald.

See the comment below this review to find out how to download over 5 gigabytes of research material related to the assassination, including an excerpt from the Harvey and Lee book mentioned in the review.

Well researched, well worth acquiring.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended August 15, 2012
Format:Hardcover
If you have ever suspected that the official government versions of things are a little bit fishy, then this is the book for you. I myself have long thought that what they told us happened to President Kennedy was not quite right. This book confirms my suspicions and then takes it a step further, examining the true evidence of each case and following that evidence wherever it leads. Excellent research and well-supported facts with every little thing substantiated. There are over five hundred footnotes, just to give you an idea of how well-researched this book really is. Get it!
