If you are an original purchaser of at least two of the three volumes, you have the right to use any image created by the author in any article or book on the Kennedy assassination, without any need to ask the author for permission, or without any need for payment, as long as you provide attribution to the source of the image, with volume and page number (if applicable) indicated, and you do not modify the image in any way, shape, or form, unless you notify the reader of the precise nature of the change.
In addition, you may quote any contiguous excerpt of 1000 words or less, and up to a total of 3000 words, without asking permission of the author, and if you desire a longer excerpt, permission will be liberally granted.
Upon the death of the author, and if no other rights are granted any other parties in the interim, the hardcopy edition of this work will automatically enter the public domain, and every purchaser of the hardcopy edition of the book has the right to scan the book at a resolution of 600dpi, with optical character recognition enabled, to post on the Internet in PDF form.
This is an extensive work, over 900 pages spread out over three volumes, with a fourth on the way. Due to the scope of this project, the author feels it would be helpful to explain some key details before proceeding with the book itself.
What This Book Is About
Over the last three years, if people asked me what I was doing, I would say I was writing a book on “Lee Harvey Oswald.” And sometimes people would ask me in response, “
Who’s
Lee Harvey Oswald?”
So, if you are one of those people, here is some essential background: on November 22, 1963, a President of the United States, President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. The man accused of the assassination was named Lee Harvey Oswald. Oswald was arrested, but never had a trial: two days later, he was killed by another assassin, a man named Jack Ruby. The Vice President of the United States at the time, Lyndon Johnson, became President, and appointed a body known as the Warren Commission to investigate the assassination. The Warren Commission concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald fired the shot that killed President John F. Kennedy. A subsequent investigation by the House Select Committee on Assassinations concluded the same thing.
The claim of this book is that
that conclusion would be impossible to support in a court of law
. This claim has at least 3 important implications:
- The actual murderers of a President of the United States were never brought to justice.
- Because there is no statute of limitations for murder, Kennedy’s assassination would therefore very much be an open case . . . even
today
, decades later. Consequently, we are not talking about “history”, we are talking about something that is important real-time, right now . . . right this very
second
. - People who insist that the case is “closed” when it is not are doing the American people a great disservice, aborting an inquiry into what
really
occurred, and all the consequences that would naturally flow after that inquiry was conducted.
For many years, the claim that Oswald was the lone assassin was disputed, and it was generally acknowledged that the case was, at best, extremely shaky. However, as the 50th anniversary of the assassination of the President approaches ever closer, there has been a new push to validate the conclusions of the Commission. Books by Vincent Bugliosi, John McAdams, Stephen King, and an upcoming book by Bill O’Reilly, all ride the lone assassin bandwagon. Even people who do not accept the conclusions of the Commission believe, based on the latter books I have discussed, that there is some sort of genuine controversy.
I am writing this book to put an end to this nonsense once and for all. This book is going to challenge these authors to justify their point of view, in a very interesting way which we will get to shortly.
Frankly, I doubt that they will accept my challenge. If I am right, you will learn something, and if I am wrong, you will learn something.
Why Volume 1 of This Book is Free on the 22nd
This book is currently in 3 volumes.
Amazon.com
allows authors who make their book available for borrowing the right to distribute their books for free 5 out of 90 days. This suits me just fine, because I want to make this book available to people of all income levels. Consequently, I will not only make this book available for borrowing at no charge, I will also allow readers to download Volume 1 for free on the 22nd of every month, date chosen for obvious reasons.
If today is not the 22nd, you can either buy the book now at full price, borrow the book for free, or just mark your calendar and come back to the page on the 22nd.
So, if today is the 22nd, download it now! As you will see after you read this volume, this is extremely important information that
every
American needs to know.
To make the purchase of all three volumes more affordable, I’m also going to lower the price of volumes 2 and 3 based on the position Volume 1 attains on the “
Amazon
Best Sellers Rank” by 2:00 pm on the 22nd. For example, if the book attains position 105 of all three books, the rank on the page for the book will look like this:
Based on the position attained, I will reduce the price of Volumes 2 and 3 on the next day, November 23rd, according to the following schedule:
Based on the table above, if my book attained the rank of “#105 Free” by 4:00 p.m. on the 22nd, the price of the book the next day would be $5.99.
I think that there is a pretty good chance of making this mark. As of this writing, the following book has just about cracked the “Top 100 Free” list for
Kindle
:
Now, if a book on how to make bags out of duct tape can make it to the Top Free 100 list, shouldn’t a book on a man who was falsely alleged to be the killer of a President of the United States be able to do the same?
If the answer to that question is “no,” then maybe we
are
getting the government we deserve. But I have faith in the American people: I feel very comfortable going toe-to-toe with
Duct Tape Bags
.
So, if you want the price reduced on the other two volumes, I would love to help you out if you could help me edge out the “competition.” If today is the 22nd, please let all your friends know that this book is available for free on the
Kindle
.
Use any method you choose,
Facebook
,
Twitter
,
LinkedIn
, send an e-mail to your poker group or book club, post on your blog or website, tell the person sitting next to you in an airplane, any or all of these will do the trick. The more people you let know, the more people who download Volume 1 for free, the higher the position in the “Top Free
Kindle
books,” and the lower the price for the other two volumes next day. I am sure that your friends will appreciate learning about a free book, and will probably return the favor for you one day, and I’m sure you’ll appreciate the lower price that would directly result from your efforts.
Incidentally, your friends do not need to own a
Kindle
to download the book. All they need is a computer and an
Amazon
account, and an application called
Kindle
for PC or
Kindle
for Mac. They can download the book even if they do not have a
Kindle
, and read it on their computer, or other devices such as an
iPad
which also has its own
Kindle
application.
As you are going to discover after you read this book, Volume 1 all by itself destroys The Case Against Oswald, and if
millions
of people download it for free and don’t read the other two volumes, that would suit me just fine.
The worst case is if only
thousands
of people download it for free and don’t read the other two volumes, which would be a real waste of three years work!
So if today is the 22nd, stop reading now, let all your friends know about the free offer, then come back to this page! Do not under any circumstances let
Duct Tape Bags
rank higher than this book!
Ways To Read This Book
Now that I have extolled one of the primary virtues of the eReader, I must say in all honesty that the best way to read this book is hard copy under an incandescent light. As of this writing the book is currently not available in hard copy, but I plan to make it available in hard copy by November 22, 2012. It will be more expensive than this version, obviously.
It is amazing the cultural shift; in 2005 your average reader was reading a hardcopy book under an incandescent light; in 2015, your average reader is going to be reading on an ereader under a compact fluorescent light.
