[John Simkin]

This article appeared in the Burnett County Sentinel (22nd June, 2005). What do researchers make of Bradley Ayers? Is he a reliable witness:

Who shot the president? It’s been the standard joke for many years. Do you know who killed President Kennedy?

I recall a movie with Nicholas Cage in which secret film is discovered and he gets his hands on it and points to the film and tells his girl friend, “Do you want to know who shot President Kennedy?”

Well, a local man says he knows and he’s written a book to tell all. Bradley Ayers of Frederic, who by the way is the same guy who has been fighting the Polk County Board tooth and nail and who ran for a county seat but lost and who has been getting a reputation as someone who is trying to rock the boat, is the writer of the new book.

Ayers, a former CIA and DEA undercover operative received a book deal from Vox Pop/Drench Kiss Media Corporation for a new book called Zenith Secret. He wrote the book once before but it was highly edited. Authors say this time Ayers book will “tell all.”

“Brad Ayers exposes secrets he’s waited a lifetime to tell: the CIA’s secret war on Cuba and the involvement of far-right Cubans and CIA in the murder of both John and Robert Kennedy."

Some are going to say this is a crackpot book by a crackpot. Others may say it’s about time the secrets were released. I guess only time will tell if the book will have an impact on Americans.

Ayers has been saying for years that the CIA has had involvement in many operations he says weren’t legal. He claims he worked with two key plotters of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

“Although Ayers attempted to publish this tale in 1976, CIA pressure stopped him from full disclosure. Now, with Vox Pop as publisher, Ayers can finally reveal the whole story,” said a release from the publishers.

Vox Pop Publisher Sander Hicks is quoted as saying, “Brad was a witness to a lot of conniving and cover-up while at the CIA.”

This is the same company that is publishing a book about the death of Senator Paul Wellstone, claiming there was also a plot to the death of the Minnesota Senator.

Brad Ayers is a man people love to hate around here. He’s also a man of deep convictions and very strong political feelings.

I know he was pleased to finally get a chance to tell this story.

What makes it so interesting is the fact he’s a local guy who is going out on a limb with a very unpopular message.

I guess only time will tell how well accepted this message will be.
