The New JFK Show # 274 Malcolm X, H.L. Hunt & JFK PART 2
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Welcome to the new JFK Show, number 274.
This is part two of Larry Rivera's presentation on Malcolm X. And I can tell you, you can look into the Malcolm X murder just as in-depthly as you can the JFK murders, no doubt about it.
So what do you think about it, Jim?
Jim, Jim, Jim, I think it's even more important than any of the sixes of assassination.
Because it provides the blueprint which was used during the JFK assassination and in an even more egregious fashion within just, what was it, a year and a half after.
And right after that, you had Malcolm X. And after we found out about And H. L. Hunt's involvement with the Nation of Islam, as far as I'm concerned, it changes the entire playing field regarding the Malcolm X assassination.
In our last program, we had the revelation of how H. L. Hunt in Dallas, financed the Nation of Islam, something that had never been spoken about.
And we even had that recording of Malcolm X talking about it.
I think we should listen to that again before anything, you know.
So let me just quickly go to that.
Because that is so revealing.
Yeah.
Old boy from Texas funding the Nation of Islam.
There's something not right about that.
Okay, so, I'll get the screen here, and... There we go.
Okay, host disabled.
I need to be the host.
Right, right, right.
So, okay.
So, I figured we should start with this one here, and we already went over this, but listening to Malcolm talk about this is very, very important.
Now, Malcolm found out about, and this is just a little, you know, rehash, you know, from the last program, had been Depositing contributions from his followers, Elijah Muhammad, in a secret bank account in Switzerland, and his wife had been doing the same in accounts she had in Beirut and Cairo.
Although the Nation of Islam received hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations each year, Malcolm X said the accounting books he examined in the Messenger's office revealed that the Nation of Islam was spending far more cash than followers were contributing.
This is from Carl Evans, The Judas Factor, page 402.
When Bradley and Jamal, these guys were Malcolm's secretaries, inquired how this was possible.
Malcolm X's reply hit them like a bombshell.
There is a Texas millionaire who supports not only Elijah Muhammad, but the Minutemen and the John Birch Society.
I mean, how can you have everything covered?
H.L. Hunt.
That's extraordinary.
Like with the party of the Democrats, and the Republicans vote.
Yeah, you got all the bets covered here.
So, I mean, this is very compelling here, so let's check it out.
You got it?
Oh, you're willing to play the audio, right?
I think you can just click on it, Larry.
Just click on the little...
OK, it's plain.
I think... Hold on, I think I know what... Go!
So, like I was saying, Carl Evans, you know, talks about, you know, this... how Malcolm X found out about this, you know, all this money being siphoned off, you know, and how, you know, they were spending a lot more than
And I guess many of you have heard it said that his financial support comes from a rich man in Texas.
I heard that while I was in the movement.
I've heard it more since I left the movement.
A rich man in Texas.
Any of you can look up his name.
But the FBI knows that too.
But they still don't touch him.
And this rich man who lived in Texas, by the way, lives in Dallas.
His headquarters is in Dallas.
His money is in Dallas.
The same city where President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
And never have I seen a man in my life More afraid, more frightened than Elijah Muhammad was when John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
I've never in my life seen a man as frightened as he was.
And when I made the statement that I did, why, he almost cracked up behind it.
Because there were all kinds of implications to it that at that time were way above and beyond my understanding.
Wow.
Now, this the statement obviously was the one about the chickens coming home to roost.
All right.
Where Malcolm was equating, you know, the situation of John F. Kennedy's assassination to exactly the same thing that and the violence that happened, you know, within, you know, the black community, you know, with so many different instances, you know. the black community, you know, with so many different instances, And where he even mentioned, you know, the Vietnam situation, the Xiem brothers and all of those as instances of chickens coming home to roost.
And then they twist that around to say that, you know, interpret that Malcolm was actually happy that JFK had been assassinating without actually realizing that he was way, way much above and so much above, you know, everybody else way much above and so much above, you know, everybody else as far as the interpretation of that
Yeah, yeah, when I got out of he said how Hunt was untouchable and Madeline Brown talks about that a lot to where he bragged that he could get away with anything and that's exactly right.
And that's it.
I'm the richest man in the world.
And when you bring that individual into the picture here.
You know, where now, and what we were talking about in the first show, Malcolm was going throughout the world, you know, and drumming up support to take the U.S.
to the United Nations, you know.
Sounds like a song!
You know, and so, that's like, and when you have, and we also mentioned the CIA and the FBI, we're aware of this relationship, Jim.
And so, obviously, you know, H.L.
Hunt could have held sway on what the Nation of Islam could have provided as far as the assassination of Malcolm X was concerned, obviously, okay?
And that's where, you know, I'm coming from on this.
But what we're going to do is we're going to fast forward.
We did the intermission and we met Mr. William X. Bradley, the man, shotgun man, Who escaped the Audubon, okay, that afternoon with the help and the assistance of the NYPD, alright?
Let me just get the screen here.
Yeah, this is an amazing clip.
Okay, you guys got this here?
Yeah.
You're gonna go to a poll, yeah.
Okay, so with all this going on with Malcolm X after the Netflix documentary and everything, the reaction to that was this guy, Norman Butler, Uh, also known as Muhammad Aziz.
And he had been, he was one of the patsies that we talked about in the first show.
Remember we talked about Thomas Johnson and this guy, Norman Butler, and how Butler had been at the, uh, there were, there was video evidence that Butler had been at the Audubon and, uh, not necessarily inside of the ballroom, but outside of the Audubon when they were bringing out Malcolm X, you know, mortally wounded.
And this guy just got a payoff of millions of dollars, I think 20-something million of dollars, you know, for having been wrongly incarcerated for 20 years as one of the patsies for the assassination of Malcolm X. And he said, here, I do not need this court, these prosecutors, or a piece of paper to tell me that I'm innocent.
He said in a stern voice that did not shake or falter, I am an 83 year old man who was victimized by the criminal justice system.
I agree in part of the, you know, with this, you know, but you know, like the video evidence, you know, that has been presented by both Omar Shabazz and Carl Evans, Two very distinguished researchers I have mentioned, you know, and I've cited Carl Evans' book, you know, many times and will continue to.
And Omar Shabazz, who we have seen the incredible models of the Audubon and I will continue to show them here, you know, as we proceed here.
So, that's what happened.
See, maybe I was going a little bit ahead of myself, but these are the pictures that I was telling you about, where Norman 3X Butler, also known as Muhammad Aziz, was present at the Audubon during the Malcolm X assassination,
And Carl Evans notes that by wearing his fedora at an awkward 45 degree angle, Butler unknowingly made it easy to identify him in the crowd outside the Audubon Ballroom.
Still frames show him straining to view Malcolm X's body.
The herringbone coat also sealed his fate.
So these are images of Norman Butler outside of the Audubon.
And the one here at the bottom right is him at the police station the next day, you know, when they went and looked for him, you know, and to arrest him.
And he's wearing exactly the same attire, you know?
And if you look at the footage here outside of the Audubon, you know, here he is, okay?
And if you follow the mouse pointer,
and he's he is there there's no doubt about it and here he is okay when they went to arrest him these are images from that event and again also Omar Shabazz also believes that Butler was indeed at the Audubon this guy just got a 20 million dollar payoff you know and uh again you know more evidence of him being there this is the day that uh
You know, but this is one of the—he did 20 years, you know.
So, you know, immediately after the assassination, the trail led straight to Newark.
In reply to a request from the FBI in New York, the FBI office in Newark sent the following communication to J. Edgar Hoover at FBI Headquarters, 1 March 1965.
And enclosed were the names of 10 members of Newark Mass 25's most notorious NOI strong-armed men who had been engaged in acts of violence.
The document included photographs of the 10 individuals which suggests the FBI had extensive and complete dossiers on each one of them.
Note the extensive redactions.
And here is that document I'm talking about.
Okay, this is the assassination of Malcolm Little, and right here in the middle, enclosed for the FBI, are ten photographs, okay?
These are, includes the assassins that were there at the Audubon, and that we see in those images of Omar Shabazz, you know, with the shotgun and everything.
And we're going to, you know, talk about who was the leader of that mosque, okay, who happened to be at the Audubon precisely that day.
You know, what the hell was he doing there?
Plus his minions, you know, who were part of that organization, mosque number 25 in Newark, okay?
And these were the guys, Albert Benjamin Thomas, Leon Davis, Talmadge Heyer.
This is the guy, Talmadge Heyer, also known as Thomas Hagen, was the man that we saw struggling outside of the Audubon.
Remember in earlier slides here, the one in the green?
And who, uh, William X. Bradley was trying to, uh, defend and spring from that altercation with the New York, uh, police department there outside of the Audubon after he had been shot in the leg by one of, uh, Malcolm X's bodyguards, okay, Reuben Francis.
And of course, William X. Bradley, the man who, shotgun man, who we have been, uh, you know, uh, Mentioning and showing, you know, that the evidence, in fact, even on his deathbed, he had a deathbed confession, you know, where he said that, yes, he was shotgun man.
He's the one that, you know, pulled the trigger and assassinated Malcolm X. And Wilbur McKinley, you know, who, so these were the guys involved.
And then here's where William X. Bradley confesses.
And this is a YouTube video.
You can go ahead and check it out.
And, allegedly, this is the moment where he confesses his involvement in the Malcolm X assassination.
Any comments there, fellas?
Yeah, yeah.
Fascinating stuff, Larry.
Just fascinating stuff.
Yeah, I mean, it just keeps, you know, coming here, and there's more to come here, you know?
Are you going to play that video again?
Maybe we'll come back to it, but this is what's really interesting, and I want Jim to start telling, you know, reading some of this here, because there are many parallels, you know, between K and Malcolm X. Sure.
One, security stripping.
Perhaps the most glaring coincidence between the two.
On 22 November 1963, the motorcycle escort order was altered at Love Field, and the bubble top was removed.
Moreover, A film taken of the limo leaving Love Hill shows Secret Service agent Henry Ripka being called off the running board of the Lincoln by Emery Roberts, much to the chagrin of Ripka, who raises his arms and hands in protest and disgust, visibly upset at the order.
There was a second, by the way, who also was called off at the same time.
Yeah, and he's going, you know, what the hell are you doing here, you know?
Yeah, in the case of Malcolm X, NYPD policemen were completely absent before the assassination, but suddenly appeared en masse after Malcolm was confirmed dead.
Second.
Patsy-patsies, as mentioned earlier.
Someone had to be blamed, locked up or shut up.
Butler and Johnson were patsies in the case of Malcolm X's Lee Oswald and JFK.
Third, forewarning.
For JFK, it was Miami and Chicago where motorcades were canceled at the 11th hour after receiving threats, including one from an FBI informant by the name of Lee for the Chicago affair.
Malcolm, among many confrontation of firebombing of his home in Queens at 2.45 a.m.
with his family inside, including four very young girls, one week before his assassination, takes the cake.
Believe it or not, as we will see, NY Daily News columnist Jimmy Breslin was present at the auto bomb, having been tipped off by the NYPD that something was going to happen to Malcolm that afternoon.
Jesus, you'd think Jimmy Breslin might warn Malcolm.
No, it gets better.
His bodyguard!
So, and this is what happens one week before the assassination, Jim and Gary.
I mean, why wouldn't the NYPD offer and provide special protection to Malcolm X after this event?
On, of all days, Valentine's Day 1965.
You know, and of course the answer is because they were being paid to not support him, not secure him.
And it's like, you know, like the previous slide said, you know, they, they arrived in Moss, you know, after the event, you know, prior to that, you know, security.
It's so important, you know, in this whole thing, you know, and, and, you know, reeking of soot from the three of you.
I just noticed it.
I just noticed that the windows were all blown out.
I didn't realize that that was, yeah, go back just for a second.
Who does this?
Who does this?
You know, when you have children, yeah.
Yeah, go back one, Larry.
Yeah, there it is.
There it is.
Yeah.
I mean, the windows are blown out and everything.
I didn't, I didn't grasp that at first.
I mean, who the hell does this?
To a man, you know.
Well, wasn't this basically an earlier attempted assassination?
Uh, I, I wouldn't maybe, you know, but.
Maybe a warning.
If it was, you know, it was a very, very drastic way, you know, of, of assassination, you know, including all your young kids.
Well, how did, how did the, how did it take place?
Did they just fill the house with gas and.
They threw a Molotov cocktails through the window.
Through the window.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
And what they did, they threw the Molotov cocktails in strategic areas of the house, which would prevent who was inside from actually getting out.
So reeking of soot from the 3 a.m.
bombing, he, and wearing nothing but the clothes on his back, Malcolm boarded a plane for Detroit the next morning to deliver a speech at the Ford Auditorium in downtown Detroit.
These are, again, you know, and how could it be possible that he would, you know, have an event at the Audubon a week after this And the NYPD, you know, would completely ignore, you know, and then this is what is really, really important in this whole thing, because the organization or the entity that rises to the top
of those who would be suspected of wanting Malcolm X dead, okay, the official story, if you will, Malcolm X story, Muslim prophet ordered the bombing, Elijah Muhammad.
This is what, you know, the official version, you know, wants you to believe, okay?
So that this feud, you know, this squabble going on between Malcolm And Elijah Muhammad, with all the salaciousness that we mentioned earlier, remember about, you know, Elijah Muhammad, you know, fathering all those kids, you know, out of wedlock, you know, with his secretaries and Malcolm being prepared to go and testify against him, you know, in open court about this, you know.
So this is what the official version is being proposed.
Larry, was H.L.
Hunt actually financing his death?
That is a brand new concept that is coming out of this.
Still under investigation.
No, no, this is something that is just now coming out of this whole thing because If H.L.
Hunt has this type of control over Elijah Muhammad, where he's financing the Nation of Islam, Elijah Muhammad's gotta do whatever the hell H.L.
Hunt tells him to do!
And look, HL's already participated in whacking a president.
You think?
You think?
Malcolm X is small potato.
Thank you.
Exactly.
Number four.
None of Malcolm's special guests were supposed to share the stage with him showed up.
That they, those who were supposed to share the stage, did not show up.
In other words, they knew among them the militant Reverend Milton Gallimard's son.
After Benjamin Goodman spoke, he introduced Malcolm before a row of ominous-looking empty chairs.
Suggesting those who were Moshoes might have had foreknowledge of the assassination.
Joey FK, for example, had been warned about going to Texas.
Even acknowledged his wife Jackie that they were now in nut country with a welcome Mr. Kennedy poster shown earlier as clear evidence of the intense and blatant hatred Dallas had for JFK.
And of course, that was H.L.
Hunt's own doing.
Of course.
Larry, are you convinced of this?
I thought the firecracker was the sound of the bullet passing through the windshield.
No, no, no.
That's higher up.
- The streamers were thrown at the top of M Street.
Larry, are you convinced of this?
I thought that firecracker was the sound of the bullet passing through the windshield.
Were there more-- - No, no, no, no, no.
That's higher up, but that's at the turn, at the top.
- Okay. - At the top of Elm Street, not down, not down, okay. - And plus-- - But that would have obfuscated the sound of the firecracker later then, because you have these preliminary sounds of firecrackers.
Okay, in the case of Malcolm X, a pickpocket incident that touched off the assassin, get your hands out of my pocket!
And you're supposed to say the N-word, you know, but I did not put that in.
Yeah, get your hands out of my pockets, nigger!
What's a homemade smoke bomb that was detonated inside the ballroom in that precise moment?
Hey, good friends, we're found on the device.
Well, of course they could have been planted.
That's why founders is in quotation marks.
Child's play.
Sixth, both investigators were fully controlled by the FBI.
But, of course, former agent Arthur Fulton had revealed nine FBI operatives were present during the assassination with William X. Bradley, a possible FBI operative as well, as in the JFK, the FBI.
Controlled everything, and their investigations were designed to funnel the blame onto the Patsy's, Butler, and Johnson, then the Malcolm case, and Lee in that of JFK.
So the M.O.
is well, you know, established.
Yeah, that's a pattern you can find replicated again and again.
Exactly, and amazingly enough, in 1980, Newark citizens wanted the Malcolm X case reopened And they were willing to come up with affidavits and everything.
This is what's so amazing.
I found these documents at the FBI vault there, where they have all the Malcolm X documents, and this one was way, way at the end of one of the PDFs.
And it had to do with this petition by Congressman William Hughes.
And he went ahead and he wrote William Webster of the FBI, the director, and he's asking, you know, to reopen the Malcolm X investigation.
And he provides all kinds of new evidence, including affidavits from people who were willing to come forward And present this evidence in any formal setting or whatever, you know.
But the thing about this is that Hughes' district did not include Newark.
As you can see here, his district was the second down at the bottom, which includes the Atlantic City area.
And the 10th Congressional District, which is Newark, belonged to this guy, Peter Rodino of Watergate fame.
Would you think that this guy would, you know, if his constituents came up to him and said, hey, you know, we got evidence on Malcolm X, what do you think he would do?
All right.
Anyway.
So, according to the petition, it said that, you know, all the persons involved, they could identify them, and it exonerated, you know, the two guys that were in jail, you know?
Well, that's the last thing they're going to want to have come to the public service.
Of course!
But the thing about this is that this is documentation that exists that shows you, you know, that even in 1980, May 29, 1980, They were still trying to find out, you know, if they could bring this out, this evidence out, and obviously it was just...
I mean, after all, he is a congressman from New Jersey.
Even if it's not his district, he could claim to have an interest in representing New Jersey, but it's involving a crime of national significance.
So surely he ought not to have been discounted just because he was not in the district in which the crime had been committed.
And I know, and as far-fetched as it might seem, you know, at least, you know, we get this document trail here that tells us, you know, that there were actually people who wanted to, you know, bring this out.
And here is, okay, here we go.
And here is the document with the names and addresses.
That's very informative, Larry.
So here are the names and addresses of the people who are going to tell us.
And they're trying to get two of them out of jail, exonerated.
And so, and, you know, the reply says, you know, review of records, and this is so egregious, you know, I mean, I gotta laugh, you know, because it fails to reveal any information that the FBI has investigated or even been requested to investigate the assassination of Malcolm X. That's the reply to the senator, you know?
Right.
Typical classic diversion.
And here's that, just a second.
So this is what I was just talking about.
And then, of course, the FBI, these are documents from the FBI in case you want to know if the FBI did investigate.
the Malcolm X assassination.
There are so many documents.
I mean, you could get lost in Malcolm X FBI documents, you know, for years.
I have seen the website, you know, and I have the documents, but this is what you run across, you know, all these redactions, you know, and some of these are very, very interesting Because it tells you that the FBI, these reports, are talking about their agents that were there at the Audubon.
And they're giving you the information on the report, but as you can see, it's all redacted out.
For example, so-and-so arrived at the ballroom.
Of course, that's one guy.
So-and-so was at the rally in New York.
Okay, that's another guy.
Okay, the next thing, blah blah, so-and-so was that he heard four gunshots, you know, and this is a report that is filed the very day of the assassination, as you can see here at the bottom, 2-21-1965, you know, out of Philadelphia.
Why out of Philadelphia?
That's another interesting one, you know, and you've got descriptions of the assassins, and again, Blank Blank did not believe in Blank Blank.
He could not furnish and Blank possessed no further information.
Blank did not know.
So these are the actual informants that are there, you know, for the FBI.
And we're talking about like, like, you know, nine, at least nine of them that were there, you know, like shooting fish in a barrel, you know.
I don't know what, and then how can they have the audacity to tell Congressman Hughes, you know, that they did not investigate, they had no documents on the Malcolm X assassination.
Anyway.
Wow.
All right.
Jai Reed.
As mentioned here, eventually it was learned that nine FBI informants were present during the Malcolm X assassination per retired agent Arthur Fulton.
The film evidence also appears to indicate that shotgun man William X. Bradley, al-Mustafa Shabazz, of Newark Moss 25, more than likely was a government operative himself, possibly even a bossy agent who was allowed to escape the premises of the Ottoman ballroom and appears to have been protected by the state throughout his life.
Finally, Congressman Rodino's apparent refusal to go to back for his Norwalk constituents adds another layer of mystery to the Malcolm X assassination.
We're going to find out.
I'm going to tell you now about BASI, and that has to do with the Bureau of Special Services and Investigations, a sub-branch of the NYPD that actually, just the way it's described in books, they just the way it's described in books, they were the little private FBI-CIA of the NYPD in those days, and they were tasked with infiltrating civil rights groups in the
and they were tasked with infiltrating civil rights groups in the 60s who were causing all these, quote-unquote, disturbances
And Marable, who is one of the biographers of Malcolm X that I've used in this presentation, even within the NYPD itself, BASI operated largely above the law, shielding its own operatives and paid informants from the rest of the police force. shielding its own operatives and paid informants from the rest That is so important because in the Malcolm X assassination, you have Heavy involvement of Bossy.
I mean, very much involvement.
That's what we're going to talk about here.
And Omar Shabazz describes Bossy as an elite group of New York's own little private FBI and CIA combined into one entity.
They even had their own little badge there, you know.
And these guys, you know, did not—they only responded to the FBI and the CIA.
That's it.
All right?
And that's where we meet Eugene Roberts, and he was an NYPD undercover cop working for Bossy, or Boss, fresh out of the Navy at a very young age.
He became Malcolm X's personal bodyguard.
Great.
Was he even remotely trustworthy?
That's maybe, you know, I agree, you know, maybe Malcolm X was, might have been naive, you know, in this regard, but how to allow somebody like that get so close to him, you know, so fast, you know, that's something that needs to be explored.
Now, Omar Shabazz identifies Tony Ulasowicz.
Well, you know this guy, right?
This is a bad man for, you know, in the Watergate thing, you know?
Yeah.
But before that, before that, he's involved in the Malcolm X You know, uh, assassination in... He recruited Roberts.
Right!
That's it, exactly!
And he's the one... Yeah, go ahead, go ahead!
Who recruited Eugene Roberts, who has held big data destroying Malcolm and his organization, directing Roberts to infiltrate and report on Malcolm X. That's right.
Boy.
A few days after Malcolm's press conference announcing his split from the Nation of Islam, William Sullivan.
Very well.
We know well.
He's the guy that got mistaken for Adir, isn't that guy?
Isn't he the guy?
Yeah, that's right.
Contacted the directors of Bossa and asked them to recruit several African-Americans to infiltrate Malcolm's new organization.
Among the directors at the time were two men who later would play key roles in the scandal leading to Nixon's resignation.
Anthony Lakowitz, the infamous bagman of Watergate, and Nixon advisor John J. Caulfield.
You know, Akowitz was only too happy to comply with Sullivan's request.
Malcolm had been a thorn in the New York Police Department's side for more than a decade.
He'd told Sullivan he'd have officers ready to infiltrate the new organization within 30 days.
While Sullivan was coordinating the domestic counterintelligence program against Malcolm with Bossie, the CIA initiated a similar program to determine the extent of Malcolm's influence with third world leaders.
What do we have on Malcolm X?
A CIA official wrote in an interoffice memo dated March 10.
The requests for information come from the U.S.
State Department.
The official ordered a clerk to run a thorough check of the CIA's database to determine which third world countries seem receptive to Malcolm.
That's Carl Evans.
And these are soundbites.
I forgot here.
And then, OK, going back to Eugene Roberts, his code name was Adam.
His first assignment was to infiltrate the Muslim Mosque Incorporated, MMI.
He was given a cover job as a clothing salesman in the Bronx by the bossy.
By late 1964, Roberts had become an integral member of the MMI security team, standing guard at public events as one of Malcolm's bodyguards.
He told Dan Rather in 1975 about a dry run that he witnessed the week before the assassination, what he did with the information, and this is a soundbite which I'm gonna run right now.
Police Department.
Your job was to gather intelligence, to gather information.
Yes.
And the Bureau's mission was to keep tabs on potentially violent people?
Yes.
Why was Malcolm X considered a potentially violent, if not in fact violent person?
Well I guess at that point in time society wasn't ready for Malcolm X. He was saying a lot of things that society didn't want to hear at that point in time.
The week before he was killed there was a meeting at the Audubon.
And I saw what I thought, and I still think, was a dress rehearsal for, um, Malcolm's impending assassination.
I called the, uh, department the following morning, and I told them that I felt that this was a, as I put it, a dry run.
And they told me that, okay, we'll pass it on and we'll take care of it.
What they did with it, I, um, I really don't know.
Absolutely nothing.
You are the bodyguard.
You don't tell the man that you're supposed to guard about this.
Do I sense something's not right here?
Okay, now here Eugene Roberts looks right into the camera while Malcolm X confident.
Leon Forex Amir, a very important player in this whole thing, looks on.
Amir himself would be dead within three weeks after calling out the government in the murder of Malcolm X. Now, according to Marable, Right before the assassination, Roberts, Eugene, the guy that we're talking about, moved to the back of the ballroom by, and quote, by doing so, whether by coincidence or design, he would escape being near the primary line of fire that ensued seconds later, unquote.
Not by coincidence.
And here's Omar Shabazz's rendering of Robert's position way in the back, you know.
Yeah, it's like LBJ ducking, you know.
Yeah, for real.
Very good.
Now, I've been talking about Eric Norton from the beginning, because this guy is the one who published the very first controversial articles on the Malcolm X assassination.
In particular, where he was only able to find outlets And of course, Larry Flint, who gave him a platform in 1978 in the December issue of Huffler Magazine.
a real cuckoo type of publication where extreme views were presented.
But that was the only outlet that he had.
And, of course, Larry Flint, who gave him a platform in 1978 in the December issue of Hustler Magazine.
I actually downloaded the magazine, and obviously for the article, not for the pictures or anything.
Yeah, Larry.
Come on.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
Oh, you wouldn't, you certainly wouldn't even look at those.
Yeah, a little collateral, a little collateral interest.
So, Norton published an updated version of his article in the December Hustler Magazine, published by Larry Flint, where he was more specific about Velazquez and their involvement in the Malcolm X infiltration here.
Go ahead, Jim, tell us about this.
Almost.
Almost four years after the murder of Robert Thoreau was discussed by none other than Watergate bagman and Nixon dirty trades expert Anthony Tony Hugh Ulasowicz, who in 1965 was a top operative and boss.
I had guys in everywhere, Ulasowicz revealed.
You know that Life Magazine photo of the Malcolm X assassination?
Well, the black who was giving him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation was my plan.
That's the way we did it in those days.
We infiltrated.
From the Audubon ballroom to Watergate.
That's amazing.
You know, and there he is, you know, giving mouth to mouth recess.
It's right.
Well, you guys, many holes in your body.
Exactly.
Exactly.
You can probably hear your own breath coming out of his lungs.
Exactly.
Just, it's just like Jim Morris said in, uh, in, uh, one of those documentaries, you know, when somebody's shot in the stomach, you don't go and pump up and down on him, you know?
Right.
Yeah.
I did deal with Lee.
Right!
So this is undercover cop and bossy operative Eugene Roberts giving mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to... and that is the guy who was the plant for, uh, from, uh, Lazarus.
And this is what is so callous and so insensitive to me that Life Magazine, you know, would publish these I was told that Life Magazine used to do this even for Mafia hits and stuff like that, which is true.
So that's what they would bring Malcolm X to that level, being this underground, this anti...
Yeah, anti-society individual, you know, and this is the way that he would end up, you know, and, you know, he, it was right, you know, for him to, you know, get it this way, you know.
But look at how Roberts had to go from the back of the ballroom all the way forward to perform the mouth to mouth.
Yeah.
Isn't that amazing?
Isn't that amazing?
And the lady's pumping on his stomach to the right.
That's going to do a whole lot of good.
Yeah, and Eugene Roberts, you know, he infiltrated and there's his card, you know, and despite... Go ahead.
Sure, sure.
Despite the vital and parts of his eyewitness testimony in the trial of Harry R. Johnson and Butler in January of 1966, Gene Roberts was never called to the stand by either the prosecution or the defense.
As one detective later stated, nobody else from Boston was ever brought forward either.
Robert's cover remained intact for another four years until he surfaced in 1970 as a star witness against 13 New York Black Panthers accused of conspiring to blow up Bloomingdale's and Macy's department store, the Bronx Botanical Gardens, and other select targets.
Robert said apparently he infiltrated the Panthers as successfully as he had Malcolm's organization.
Isn't that amazing that this guy was, you know, just given complete, wow, unbelievable,
This guy was a Malcolm X's bodyguard, Reuben Francis, and he's the only one that came out, you know, this was a firefight, you know, in the ballroom, you know, and he's the one that, you know, came out shooting and he shot Thomas Hagan in the leg, you know, and then charges were brought against him and he jumps bail and disappears for almost a year, you know, and he forfeited the bail money, you know, he would prefer that
And then when he came back, finally, he was held incommunicado, you know, by the authorities, you know, and that's his position.
I think they put people away forever, you know, I mean, it's got nothing to do with the law or justice or the legal system.
The political nature of this assassination just boggles the mind here, you know, and this was Brother Rubin, as noted in this article that I found, and He was a fearless soldier of the Nation of Islam who left, and he joined Malcolm X. Brother Rubin, on his own intuition, carried on that fateful day.
And when shots rang out, taking Malcolm X's life, Brother Rubin exchanged fire with the assailants, hitting one Talmadge Hayer, who was also known as Thomas Hagan, It is only as a consequence of that exchange between Hare and Rubin that Hare was ultimately captured and brought to justice.
NYPD uniformed police were not in any position to stop anything, as Roberts had anticipated.
They were stationed in retreat positions away from the ballroom when the incident took place.
If there were any other undercover operatives on hand, they did nothing at all, and we know that they were there, to prevent the killing or challenge the assailants.
So, what is important to realize here is that had it not been for Brother Rubin popping hair, the NYPD appears to be complicit And not only letting the assassination happen, but also allowing every participant to get away scot-free.
That is exactly the way it happened here, you know.
I think that's right, Larry.
That's exactly the plan.
And nothing to see here.
And remember when we started the first part of this program, we had the layer of the Nation of Islam and the NYPD and BASI and then the CIA and the FBI, you know, at the bottom, you know, so it's representing, you know, how this works from the bottom up, you know, and that's what we see here.
So, and then we have this, the Statue of Liberty plot.
Believe it or not, we've got to talk about this because Prior to the assassination of Malcolm X, there was this incident of a supposed Statue of Liberty plot, and this is where we find, we introduce Ray Wood.
You know, a lot of people, you know, in the Malcolm X assassination would say, what the hell, you know, who the hell is Ray Wood?
This, we don't know.
We didn't know about Ray Wood until recently.
You know, when he actually wrote a, again, a deathbed confession here about his involvement at the Audubon that day, you know?
And this guy was an agent provocateur for Bossy, and he was working on the Malcolm X case by trying to divert his security detail.
Now, new information on this second Bossy informant, remember where we talked about who?
Eugene Roberts, right?
Now we're going to talk about Raymond Wood, you know, and this is a guy that now we're starting to get more information on.
Even a book has been written by his second cousin.
Oh, hold on, hold on.
We'll talk about here in a second.
Let me get back.
Okay.
And we get this from the Washington Post.
Okay.
Ray Wood was a tall, broad-shouldered Air Force veteran in his early 30s when he joined the Detective Division of the NYPD in 1964.
He was immediately put to work as part of a cadre of black undercover law enforcement officers who were used to gain entry into the inner workings of civil rights groups.
These police officers had been alternately described through the decades as heroes uncovering dangerous black militant plots Okay, communists, traitors undermining the cause of black equality, or simply black men taking advantage of opportunities during an era when well-paid employment was far scarcer for black people.
In other words, you know, you might be able to, you know, make a living, you know, as an informant, you know, if you had the right connections, you know, and make a living that way.
The men, including Wood, were assigned to the NYPD's Bureau of Special Services, known as BOCCE.
The agency shared information with the FBI to undermine and discredit civil rights leaders.
BOCCE preferred men with military training and intentionally did not send them to the police academy so they would be less likely to use police slang or exhibit other telltale behaviors, said David Viola.
And then an adjunct history professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York, who has researched Wood's role in the Statue of Liberty plot.
Perhaps the most well-known among them, black undercover bossy officer Gene Roberts, who we talked about.
Home from the Navy, infiltrated Malcolm X's security team, embodying the tensions of his role in that era, Roberts administered mouth-to-mouth to the leader, which we saw that already.
This is from the Washington Post.
This is a letter that he leaves right before he passes.
Oops.
I've got a sensitive computer here.
Screen.
This is a letter.
And just three points here.
So can you see this, Jim, at the top?
Yeah, but this isn't the letter.
I mean, you want to get me back to the letter.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but it's just three points that I have extracted from the letter.
Here's the letter, okay, and it's just these three points.
April, statue, there you go.
Oh, okay, okay.
You want me to read from this or from that?
No, no, from this.
It just synthesizes, you know.
Okay.
April 17, 1964, I was hired by the New York City Police Department without training.
I was immediately signed to the Bossy Investigation Unit.
My job was to infiltrate civil rights organizations throughout New York City to find evidence of criminal activity so the FBI could discredit and arrest its leaders.
The Statue of Liberty bombing idea was created by my supervisor Handler using surveillance.
The agency learned that Maui and Saiyan were key players in Malcolm X's crowd control security detail.
It was my assignment to draw the two men into a felonious federal crime so they could be arrested by the FBI and kept away from managing Malcolm's auburn Audubon Ballroom Door Security on February 21, 1965.
On February 16, 1965, the Statue of Liberty plot was carried out and the men were arrested just days before the assassination of Malcolm.
At that time, I was not aware Malcolm was the target.
Now, the importance of all this is the following.
1965, I was ordered to be at the Audubon ballroom where I was identified by witnesses while leaving the scene.
Thomas Johnson was later arrested and wrongfully convicted to protect my cover in the sequence of the FBI and the NYPD.
Now, the importance of all this is the following.
Officially, only one person was arrested outside of the Audubon, and that's Thomas Hagen, the one that we saw in the earlier show where William X. Bradley was coming after, trying to help him get away from the police, from the cops and everything.
Okay, and that is officially the only arrest that was made of anybody coming out of the Audubon in the Malcolm X assassination.
What we're going to find out here now, we already started to see that Ray Wood could have been one of the others Okay, and we're going to find out now that there's actually three who were arrested at the Audubon and taken into police custody.
All right?
Now, the arrest of Khalil Sayyed and Walter Boe for the Statue of Liberty bombing plot is important because it shows that there was some kind of plot here designed to divert the protection, his security detail, but Later on, when Walter Boe was interviewed by Omar Shabazz, he completely discredited that.
His words to that effect were that they weren't really That important as far as Malcolm's security was concerned.
In fact, he was more involved in martial arts type of thing.
So why they brought him and these others into this whole scheme regarding their connection or non-connection to the Malcolm X, I'm still wondering what this was all about.
But it is there.
Now, the point about all this is establishing Ray Wood because he receives a commendation and promotion to detective for his work on the Statue of Liberty plot, which he instigated as an undercover bossy agent.
Okay, comically, you know, his head is turned from the cameras and the audio says it so that he would not get burned and remain available for future undercover work.
And here he is receiving an award, the same guy that supposedly was, you know, supposed to be undercover.
Yeah, and so Reggie Wood was his second cousin, and he wrote a book about his father's cousin and what he went through, and he writes that Ray Wood was awakened on February 21st, 1965 by a phone call.
A man on the other end of the line instructed him to leave and get in the backseat of a black Buick.
Inside were two white FBI agents.
The men told Wood to go to the Audubon to observe and report back about Malcolm X's afternoon appearance.
After balking at first, his cover had been blown after all.
Wood chose a seat in the front of the room near the stage, according to Reggie.
Amid the Pandemonium, Reggie asserted in his book, a stunned Ray Wood was handcuffed and hurried away from the scene by the NYPD.
That is so important because we already have Thomas Hagen as one of the men arrested.
Now we have a second one here in Ray Wood, and stay tuned because we will have another one.
Yuri Kachiyama was a Japanese American activist who lived in Harlem and was a good friend of Malcolm X. In fact, her background was way back when her family was interned in one of those camps for Japanese Americans in California during World War II.
All right, so you can see where, you know, her background as an activist would come from, you know, and the relationship was such that Malcolm would send her postcards from wherever he was during his travels.
Yuri was at the Audubon on 21 February 1965 and witnessed everything that happened there.
These are postcards from Malcolm, mailed in 1964 to his good friend Yuri Kachiyama and sent from Tanganyika, Cairo and the holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia.
And there she is assisting Malcolm X, okay, trying to do whatever she can for Malcolm, you know, and at the moment where he is probably already dead.
He's already dead, yeah.
Of course.
Now, why is Yuri important?
Because she is the one link that confirms that Ray Woods was seen also running out of the Audubon.
He was one of the two picked up by police.
He was the second person running out.
Now, this is so important because we spoke about Jimmy Breslin, and that's, you know, where this son of a bitch comes in, you know?
And he was New York Herald Tribune columnist, was at the Audubon on 21 February 1965.
Now, there's a book called The Gandia Godfather, The Untold Story of NYC's Weed Kingpin, whatever that means.
In the book's introduction, Rogers writes that when he interviewed Breslin ten years ago for the 40th anniversary of the assassination of Malcolm X, 2005, And he said, he told him, well, I was supposed to receive a journalism award in Syracuse that evening, but I got a tip from the NYPD that I should go up to Harlem to see Malcolm X speak.
I sat way in the back smoking a Pall Mall cigarette.
Now, if you look at the map, you know, New York to Syracuse, we're talking about four hours, seven minutes, all right?
That's a long ride, or unless you fly, right, in the middle of February, that is not a pleasant experience.
So, this is Breslin's position in the ballroom, smoking his palm off, all right?
And this is what he writes in the New York Herald Tribune.
Police rescued two suspects.
Two suspects, all right?
And what happens to these two guys?
What's it mean to say they rescued two suspects?
From the mob, because they were getting the crap beaten out of them, Jim.
Because, you know, because the witnesses were so sure that these guys were the hitmen, that they were taking justice into their own hands and they were beating the shit out of them.
So, We, this is what Jimmy Bresson writes, you know, in the first edition of the New York Herald Tribune, Police Rescue Two Suspects.
Now, two other, the two other subheadings that I want to, you know, point out to here, and again, this is what the mainstream media is so incredibly good at, you know, The feud that led to death, and it pushes the NOI to the top of the list of suspects to blame for the assassination.
And the second one, remember when we talked about chickens?
Chickens coming home to roost never did make me sad, they've always made me glad, which is obviously used in a mocking, disrespectful, derisive, and callous manner in the moment where Malcolm X is being assassinated.
So, we go from police rescue two suspects to guess what?
Guess one.
Wow.
Police rescue one suspect.
Man, they're up to their eyeballs.
It's just a single word.
In the City Edition of the New York Herald-Tribune for February 22nd, which goes to press early Sunday evening, the subheading of an article by Jimmy Breslin reads, Police Rescue Two Suspects.
Breslin goes on to report, the first suspect here was taken to Bellevue Prison Ward while the other suspect was taken to the Wadsworth Avenue Precinct.
Where the city's top policemen immediately converge and begin one of the heaviest homicide investigations the city has ever seen.
In the late city edition of the Tribune, the subhead has changed in police rescue one suspect, and the second suspect has been deleted from Breslin's story.
There you go.
Now we get this guy, Patrolman Thomas Hoy, because we're going to find out about a third A third!
One, two, three, okay?
Third suspect who gets arrested, okay?
And this guy is outside of the Audubon, and he had been stationed outside on 166th Street on the entrance there.
And I'm going to show you exactly where he is on the next slide, you know, from Omar Shabazz, excellent, you know, images here from his video.
And I heard the shooting, and the place exploded.
He rushed in to say, and he saw Malcolm lying on the stage, and quote, unquote, he grabbed the suspect.
He goes into the Audubon.
Don't forget that the Audubon, the ballroom, is on the second floor.
So in order to get up there, you've got to go up the stairs.
And when you're coming down, you've got to come down the stairs, okay?
And he rushed in and saw Malcolm lying on the stage and grabbed the suspect, who he said some people were chasing him.
As they brought him to the front of the ballroom, the crowd began beating me and the suspect, Patrolman Hoy said.
And this is from the New York Times, all right?
By the way, he said he put this man, not otherwise identified later, for a newsman into a police car to be taken to the Wadsworth Avenue station.
That's the one from the previous slide, the Wadsworth Avenue station.
He's not taking him to Bellevue or anything like that.
And here is Thomas Hoy's position outside the ballroom, right there under the parapet there at the entrance.
And there he is, right there.
Point him out.
There he is.
He goes in to the ballroom, goes up the stairs, has a confrontation up here.
Okay.
And then he brings him down.
So we're talking about number three.
All right.
And who was this guy?
Go ahead.
Alan Morrison in Ebony Magazine October 1965 said he saw the man patrolman Hoyer Russ had described as a thin-lipped, olive-skinned, Latin-looking man.
This matches, almost verbatim, a description Malcolm had given of a man who'd been following him the week before.
When he was denied entry to France.
And this same man, Malcolm said, was on the plane he took back to New York.
Malcolm's sister, Mrs. Ella Collins, later said that several people told her the man looked like a Cuban or Puerto Rican.
That's right.
Remember when we talked about in the previous show about Malcolm going overseas and being poisoned and everything and them having to pump out his stomach and all that, you know?
And him saying that, you know, this guy had been tailing him, you know, throughout Europe and, you know, across the pond and all that, you know?
And so, this is an article from The Militant.
Obviously, you know, They took up this case and and what we're not gonna you know go through the whole article but basically they're talking about exactly the same thing you know where Breslin, you know, writes about two suspects and then one suspect, you know, and what gives, you know, what's going on here, you know, and that's exactly what the whole thing here, you know.
For example, the second suspect has dropped out, not only out of headlines, but out of Breslin's story, too.
Nothing about his being caught and beaten by the crowd, nothing about his being rescued by the police, nothing about his being taken to the Wadsworth Station, nothing about the city's Top police converging on the station, you know?
Suspect... Here's somebody trying to figure out what the F is going on here, and then dissect how they're covering it up.
Yeah, yeah.
So, you know, not only does he disappear from the Breslin story in the late city edition, but he disappears from the Herald Tribune altogether from that date to this.
And a little bit on the right, from the Times City edition, we even learned the name of the cop who captured the second man, Patrolman Hoy.
Who is quoted as saying he had grabbed the suspect, being chased by some people.
I mean, the evidence is clear that there was a second, and in this case, a third suspect, you know, not just Thomas Hagen, the one shot in the leg by Reuben Francis, and who was being, and then an altercation from the Zapruder, the black Zapruder film, you know, where William X. Bradley is coming to his aid that we, so, you know, I mean, I thought,
Those images that we presented last time were just so compelling, showing Bradley going in throwing haymakers, you know, and then just coming out, you know, from that melee, you know, and being allowed by the NYPD to escape, you know.
This is the guy who just took out Malcolm X, you know, with a shotgun to the chest, you know.
And William X. Bradley, you know.
I don't know, you know.
So, We have a soundbite here.
Let's check it out.
The New York Times reported on December the 6th, 1965 that, quote, most of Malcolm's admirer appeared to believe that he was murdered on orders from the United States government, unquote.
An unidentified Harlem woman interviewed by New York Post reporter Thomas Skinner the day after the assassination summed up the suspicions of many Negroes.
I don't care if he was shot by Negroes.
This was planned, directed, and carried out on orders from the white power structure." Even such a pillar of civil rights establishment as Corps National Director James Farmer expressed his doubts of the official version of the assassination.
On February 24, 1965, the New York Times reported Farmer's belief that, quote, the killing of Malcolm X was a political act.
with international implications and not necessarily connected with black nationalism." In a more recent interview with this author, Farmer added that, quote, the week prior to his death, Malcolm tried to get in touch with the State Department to demand protection.
Now Malcolm was no fool.
If this was a simple thing with Muslims, he would not wire the State Department.
Now, Farmer revealed after the assassination, quote, that I spoke to the White House and to officials in the Department of Justice and requested a federal inquiry into the murder.
I've heard nothing from them on it, unquote.
Who was President of the United States when this happened?
LBJ.
Need I say more?
Here are, you know, New York Times which talk about exactly what, you know, James Farmer, at the time, James Farmer was a very, very important African American, you know, leader of CORE, you know, and for him to be, you know, cited, you know, by the New York Times, you know, about this.
Now, this guy, James Shabazz, what should we do with him?
Earlier we showed an FBI document which established how the FBI went straight to Newark Looking for Malcolm's assassins, remember?
And the list, it said, oh, we got the pictures, and it's all, you know, redacted out, remember?
What was Newark Moss 25 minister and leader James Shabazz doing at the Audubon that day?
At first glance, it would appear that he was expressing indignation at the assassination of Malcolm X. In this article here on The Militant, he's talking about the same thing, you know, that the same forces that took out Malcolm X are the ones that are vicious, racist forces that are attempting to control America.
So, real good.
But during the assassination, look where he was.
He was right next to the stage.
You know, in a special holding room adjacent to the stage, according to Omar Shabazz, many organization members felt that Shabazz was a double agent.
So here he is, and he's here, you know, and here's the stage, here's Malcolm, and right here at the bottom are the guns!
And here's James Shabazz, You know, and let me also say this, that this was not an event, and we mentioned it earlier, of Nation of Islam.
This was not a Nation of Islam event at all.
So, you know, these guys were not even supposed to be there, you know?
We're talking, this was an OAAU event, and, which was the other organization that Malcolm was starting, you know, along with the MMI, And so, you know, the Muslims had no business even being there, alright?
But again, you know, James Shabazz is there.
So, "...circumstantial evidence, I must say, indeed appears to point to a political assassination by the U.S.
government, not an execution by the Nation of Islam over envy, hypocrisy, paternity, suits, or differences of dogma." Okay.
Let's go point by point, Jim.
So who were the men who followed Malcolm to the New York Hilton the night before the assassination and tried to gain access to his room?
Who was the tight-lipped, olive-skinned man with a pair of eyes whom Malcolm identified as having followed him from London to New York, and who fits the description of one of the assassins?
Why was Malcolm poisoned in Cairo the day before he was to deliver a scathing denunciation of the American government to the Summit Conference of African Prime Ministers?
Was Malcolm barred from entering France a week before the assassination attempt, as one North African diplomat claims, because de Luxembourg, who the CIA planned his murder and didn't want him assassinated, on French soil?
You know that.
And this is the article, you know, where, you know, he was barred from, you know, going into France, you know, and this author, Peter Goldman, dismisses the France assassination scenario as nonsense, that Malcolm was refused entry because they feared that he would agitate and inflame a group of students into radical behavior.
Quote, I gotta laugh, might try to incite African students to overthrow moderate pro-western governments like their own.
Did you ever hear of anything like that?
Oh yeah, they're gonna pull that off.
Ridiculous.
Exactly.
So we talked a little bit about Amir, Leon Amir, and we're gonna finish it here.
And he had good reason to believe that his life was in danger because of what he witnessed That day.
Here he arrives at Malcolm's funeral, escorted by two bodyguards.
And remember, this is the picture where he's right here.
But this was not the day of the assassination.
that was another day at the ottoman.
And this is his position there at the ottoman, right here at the bottom.
And what happens, he is found dead in Boston, okay?
And he was actually, he was very, very close to Malcolm X and he witnessed the assassination.
And this, these are the questions that are left, you know, about Leon Forexamir.
Why was Leon Forexamir, Malcolm's New England representative, found strangled to death in his Boston motel room hours after he told a public meeting he had evidence the white power structure killed Malcolm?
Poor Leon had already been beaten into a coma the previous Christmas Day in the same hotel where he was living.
According to Goldman, he lingered for three days in a hospital with broken ribs, popped eardrums, bloodied face, all courtesy of black Muslim goons who used the same martial arts techniques Amir was an expert in and taught.
On March 13, 1965, Amir delivered a scathing speech before the Boston Militant Labor Forum, a branch of the Socialist Workers' Party.
I have facts in my possession as to who really killed Malcolm, he told the meeting.
The killers aren't from Chicago.
They're from Washington.
Arthur Carl Evans described what happened to Amir.
He'd been under FBI surveillance since 1959, and he called the Boston field office to request an interview.
In the conversation, Amir told the FBI that he could identify some of the men who had assassinated Malcolm X two weeks earlier.
A meeting was arranged on Friday, March the 12th during the meeting which took place in a mayor's room at the Sherry Biltmore Hotel in Boston.
He told the FBI that he had witnessed the assassination.
One of the assassins, Amir said, was a tall, dark-skinned Negro whom he recognized as a lieutenant in the Nation of Islam, Newark mosque, whose name he couldn't recall.
Less than 24 hours after a visit by the FBI, Amir was dead.
The assassination he described was never arrested for his role in Malcolm X's murder, but he fits the description of William Bradley, the assassin who fired the shotgun.
Now, So many more questions that linger in the Malcolm X assassination.
There were two men who were wounded, William Harrison and William Parker.
We never heard about them after that.
Who was the mystery man arrested by Officer Hoy?
Why did he disappear after being taken into custody?
We never heard from him.
What makes the case of this mystery suspect even more intriguing is the evidence that he was not a Negro, but appeared to be Puerto Rican or Cuban.
In an article on Malcolm's death in the October 1965 issue of Ebony Magazine, Alan Morrison asks, What happened to the thin-lipped, olive-skinned, Latin-looking man who emptied a pistol in the direction of the stage and was rescued by the police from a near lynching at the hands of Malcolm's followers.
Morrison's description of the mystery suspect corroborated by eyewitnesses at the murder scene tallies almost word for word with Malcolm's description of a man who had tailed him through London and was on the plane that returned him to New York one week before his death.
Quote, "He was a tight-lipped, olive skin type with fared eyes." Malcolm reported.
Wasn't this the second?
Wasn't this the second?
The third.
This is the third.
This is actually the third.
Oh, this is the third, yeah.
This is the third.
This is actually the third.
Let me finish here.
I gotta go.
Malcolm knew that the CIA employs many Cuban exiles in its overseas activities, and he often denounced the CIA-supplied Cuban exile pilots who flew for Chambay's mercenary air force against the Congolese rebels.
Malcolm's sister Ella told me that members of his group who had this man in their hands have passed things on to me.
When they were about to attack him further, a policeman pulled a gun and told them that if they attacked this man, he would shoot.
Then the police rushed him to a police car and, according to one member, told him to get down between the seats.
Then they raced away.
It was told me by several people that this man looked like a Cuban or Puerto Rican.
He looked like a foreigner.
I got good descriptions from two people in particular.
They said he was wearing a turtleneck sweater and was very thin-lipped.
Why has this man disappeared from sight?
Why have the police never identified him or attempted to explain the reasons for his arrest?
I have repeatedly tried to contact the arresting officer, Patrolman Hoy, That's right.
And then the synopsis here is Thomas Hagen, Ray Wood, and the Cuban-Puerto Rican guy with fair eyes are the suspects.
You know, why did NYPD intimidate witnesses?
Ruben Francis, why did Betty Shabazz claim that her husband knew it was American power structure that was after his life?
Why didn't Malcolm himself tell Alex Haley the day before that he no longer believed it was Muslims, but something bigger?
There's no doubt that those within the CIA and NYPD who arranged Malcolm's assassination and did intend it, at least in part, as an object lesson to his followers, a lesson that American black men must never again seek sources of power and alliance and inspiration outside this country, must never look to socialism as a solution to their economic exploitation, must never attack the disease of the soul endemic in this American system that perpetuates the oppression and degradation of the Negro.
Powerful forces, including the U.S.
State Department and the CIA, had been deeply alarmed by Malcolm's growing impact, particularly in his efforts to internationalize the American racial question by bringing it before the U.N.
under the Human Rights Provision of the U.N.
Charter.
It was not the Muslims who tapped Malcolm's phone, kept him under 24-hour surveillance in the U.S., followed him closely throughout his trips to Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.
Finally, Eric Norton concludes, and I have to agree, only one other force had the motive and the means to assassinate Malcolm, the intelligence apparatus of the U.S.
government.
Malcolm was a serious threat to American foreign policy objectives.
His successes in Africa had severely damaged U.S.
prestige, and if his plan to bring the American radical problem into the U.S.
came to fruition, Washington would become the whipping boy of world public opinion The whole ration d'état of such agencies as the CIA is to protect America against those countries and individuals which are viewed rightly or wrongly as the enemies, and Malcolm was an enemy.
Wow, excellent.
Sorry about that.
Sorry it went a little...
That's okay.
It was very good.
Very good, Larry.
Very good.
Very comprehensive.
You got two shows on that.
You know, I hope our people don't get bored.
No, no, no, no, no.
Well done, Larry.
Very well done.
Lots of views.
All right, fellas, that was a good long one there, about an hour and a half, so... It is?
Hour and a half?
Oh, man, I gotta go fetch my wife, man.
She's gonna spend all my money.
All right.
Take care, Larry.
Take care.
Good job.
Yeah, JFK, number 274.
Thank you very much, Larry.
Great, great report.
