Product Description

As provided in the Constitution of the United States, the structure of the government is systematically divided into three separate, offsetting powers: the legislative, the executive, and the judicial.

On November 22, 1963, and the months that followed, that system experienced a massive failure, from which the nation has never fully recovered. This book is the story and the evidence of how it happened.

While much has been written about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the dark forces behind his murder have never been convincingly exposed. In Bloody Treason, Noel Twyman has written an explosive new explanation of the assassination and its cover-up. This fascinating book lays out powerful evidence that a cabal of extremists and military officers, conspiring with gangsters and corrupt government officials, planned and ordered the crime of the century.

Bloody Treason is a product of five years of sifting and evaluation of tens of thousands of pages of documents found in the National Archives, and of hundreds of books and papers. It includes first-time interviews with critical witnesses and is updated with the most relevant documents recently released by the Assassination Records Review Board as authorized by Congress. It includes more than 160 photos and exhibits. The result is a major revision of history, one that will forever change our understanding of how and why John F. Kennedy was assassinated.

Among the books highlights:

* Newly released documents revealing a plan to precipitate an invasion of Cuba by U.S. forces; and why this plan was discarded shortly after the assassination.

* A new discovery and proof that the Zapruder film was altered to conceal what really happened at the time of the fatal shot.

* Newly released tapes and documents show that Lyndon Johnson used nuclear war scare tactics to intimidate key people in Dallas and Washington, D.C. to cover up the crime and that he, J. Edgar Hoover, and the CIA knew at the time these scare tactics were false.

* Twyman provides an updated analysis of the horrifying events before and during the autopsy, based on consultation with medical scientists and statements of eyewitnesses. Newly released documents from the National Archives corroborate author David Lifton's discovery that Kennedy's body was literally stolen from Air Force One and modified to conceal evidence before the body was delivered to the autopsy room.

Bloody Treason contains new evidence direct from Cuban intelligence. And dramatic revelations are presented from CIA operatives who were involved in the periphery of the assassination plot. This evidence reveals that right-wing extremists in Dallas and New Orleans met with CIA operatives in 1962 and 1963 and that at these meetings the assassination of John F. Kennedy was discussed and contract offers made. It also reveals that documents and information about Oswald in Mexico City were fabrications.

Twyman takes us deep into the labyrinth of the JFK assassination plot and reveals the shocking trade craft of covert political assassinations practiced by the U.S. government during the 1960s. He explains how these programs tragically backfired, resulting in the assassination of President Kennedy. The evidence of the master conspiracy is developed step by step until the identities of the powerful people behind the plot are revealed.

Bloody Treason advances the understanding of the JFK assassination to an entirely new level. The shocking revelation of corruption and betrayal in high places is without precedent in U.S. history.

4.0 out of 5 stars READ TO BELIEVE., December 28, 1998

By	[e-mail] (London, England) - See all my reviews

I am not an assassination buff but I have bought a fair amount of books related to the subject.

I am very choosy of which book I buy because book prices are high and assassination progress is slow.

I believe Bloody Treason is a must for anybody interested in finding out new lines of enquiry and updates of old ones. Serious progress is also made in relating the enquiry into 'the big picture' of the assassination itself and the fact that more that one 'cabal' and/or groups -at many different levels- may have been actively involved.

The chapter of the forged x-rays is written in such a way that it even makes it thrilling to find out what really happened. It is detective work of a very good quality.

New theories like the forging of the Zapruder film is also painstakingly put together. In this case the subject matter is not thriller material but very important to discuss and to log.

Twyman, the author, is sincere when he cannot follow a line of enquiry for lack of time and/or when something doesn't quite add up to much but is worth discussing and considering it for further research.

Twyman also goes out of his way to maintain an objective balance in his own research. This is an example to other assassination writers. In the past, the competive nature of some researchers make them lose perspective in their own research. Twyman is genuinely complementary of other authors such as Jim Garrison, Mark Lane, David Lifton, Gaeton Fonzi and others.

If you are new reader on the assassination of Kennedy, this book is all you need for the time being. If you know a lot about it, it is vital to relate the details to the whole. Bloody Treason encompasses the entire assassination universe. From the foot soldiers and bystanders to the potential paymasters and organisers. The presentation is such that you can almost follow the planners as they close in on the kill.

I will not critisize any theory put forward in this book becuase each reader reader will have to do that. This book -as well as others on the subject- require an active mind on the part of the reader.

My recommendation to future assassination researchers is that they should unite according to area of expertise and thoroughly research individual lines of investigation. Then they should publish together the findings. It is a pity that investigative minds like Twyman and others have to be so broad in their research. Maybe Twyman himself should be the General Director of this investigative team because he has the right mind for it (not having been an assassination 'specialist' before the publication of this book).

Maybe this could be Twyman's next project. 10 inquisitive authors each researching anything that concerns the names that appear in Bloody Treason such as Gerry Patrick Hemmings, HL Hunt, David Sanchez Morales, William Harvey, David Atlee Phillips, E Howard Hunt, Frank Fiorini, Jean Rene Soutre and others. Imagine what can be achieved by such team investigation. I believe the next big break will come from that line of research. The first one to try it was Gaeton Fonzi with David Sanchez Morales. In a way, to cite the same 'by line' for each one of the above names is not enough. There's got to be more that can be dug out in relation directly or indirectly to the assassination. The subject is crying out for 'biographies' of these people in order to understand how the CIA, FBI work in covert operations. But from the point of view of the individual carrying out the orders.

I believe there is a fear among some researchers to go on a 'wild goose chase' if they don't cast their net wide enough and miss out on some new nugget of information.

Last but not least I would like to correct a mistake which I detected on the subject of CIA torturer Dan Anthony Mitrione. Its on page 427 under the title 'Epilogue' it reads "Morales was a CIA man in charge slaughtering the Tupamaros in Ecuador for their murdering none other than Dan Mitrone." It should ready "Uruguay" instead of "Ecuador". Mitrone worked as a CIA torture teacher in several countries in South America in the 60s and 70s but it was the Uruguayan Tupamaros that kidnapped him and after a trial he was summarily executed for the crime of being a confirmed torturer. Incidentally Mitrione was a devout Catholic with 10 children. Did he belonged to the Mafia? What was his connection to the CIA? What else knew about David Sanchez Morales? Did he work in Uruguay?

The devastating realisation of Twyman's book is that for the assassination to succeed it must have involved people at the top echelons of several US Government institutions and businesses. The quality of the planning and the cover-up is a warning to us all to be vigilant about our civil liberties and never to give up the search for truth.

5.0 out of 5 stars A newcomer makes his mark in the Assassination investigation, February 8, 1998

By	[e-mail] (Baltimore MD) - See all my reviews

Noel Twyman, with a degree in engineering, and the time, contacts and money to do it right, has brought us a work of great value. He reviews most of the major conspiracy theories, and through his own research and logical deductions finally arrives at his conclusion, a conclusion that time may show is as close to the mark as any ever put forth. By combining in-depth personal interviews with suspects such as Gerald Patrick Hemming and high-ranking Kennedy/Johnson administration officials like Robert S McNamara, with scientific re-evaluations of the autopsy photos and Zapruder film, Twyman weaves his way to his final conclusion, which unlike most other conspiracy books, includes all the evidence. A must buy for all wanting to find the truth.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of about 5 or 6 must reads on the JFK case, July 1, 2004

By A Customer

I guarantee if you read this book & you are the average person that is curious, you will know more about the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy than anyone in the media. The Z Film arguments of alteration are beyond my scope to know if the film was actually altered, rather than the known editing of missing frames, anyway forget about that-600 of the 900 pages are on suspects..it's all extremely interesting and well written. There are several people hooked up with Intell and the secret war against Cuba who spill the beans. It all comes together in that aspect, though latter chapters on Hoover and LBJ show their poor character, they aren't as powerful as the thrust of the book. The 40 pages or so on David Lifton's investigation tracing the different caskets, the different wrappings on the body from parkland hospital to Bethesda is well documented wth outstanding graphics, timeline chronology so forth. The chapters on the medical evidence are fantastic, the one on the X-Rays is extremely technical, but very important to the case. Also, the many, many photographs mainly of suspects( including Autopsy) are excellently reproduced, and several are very rare. Well worth the steep price..
