  1. Hello Guys, A couple of minutes ago on RTL (French Radio) Valery Giscard D'Estaing, former French President, revealed that back in back in 1976, during an official trip to the USA, he had a conversation about the JFK assassination with then-President Gerald Ford. During this conversation, from a President to another President, Ford admitted that "The Warren Commission didn't do an great job". According to Giscard D'Estaing, Ford added : " IT WASN'T A LONE ASSASSIN. IT WAS A PLOT. WE KNEW FOR SURE THAT IT WAS A PLOT. BUT WE DIDN'T FIND WHO WAS BEHIND IT" Source : http://www.rtl.fr/actualites/info/international/article/kennedy-le-reve-a-ete-assassine-avec-l-homme-dit-giscard-7767111282
  2. The so called Babushka lady identified by her clothes filmed the murder looking directly at JFK toward the grassy knoll. The film has never surfaced and has been the subject of many allegations and investigations from the color of her shoes to the taking of her camera. Kill JFK ! The Assassins Speak will disclose the how, why and where of the film.
  3. 10 years or so. I thought I was done with the case...
  4. Thanks a lot Douglas. VOD is a great option FYI Tom Bowden wasn't able to join the forum. I would have love to see him here, answering questions about the Texas side of the JFK assassination.
  5. Hello, next spring, Tom Bowden and myself with publish a new book on the JFK assassination. Kill JFK ! The Assassins Speak is the culmination of many years of ORIGINAL research and is not a rehash of other books. In the meantime, you can check our new website at : www.killjfk.com For the first time, we are able to give precise answers to many questions including: What in Dallas history of prostitution, gambling and drugs permitted the murder? Was Lee Harvey Oswald Innocent? Did Oswald know Jack Ruby, his assassin? How many shooters were in Dealey Plaza? Who killed JFK? How? And Why? The answers as well as the extraordinary and never before published story of the 8mm film showing Kennedy’s last moments will be revealed in Kill JFK ! The Assassins Speak
  6. Honestly, I don't know. Not saying that it won't happen, just that I don't know... Billie always said that the JFK assassination was a simple story. I tend to believe that.
  7. I'm kind of surprised by the lack of comments. Billie Sol was a controversial figure and knew lot of the players. Tonight, I miss him and I keep thinking of the thousand of memories I have. Tom Bowden and myself spent numerous hours with him and even more trying to prove or disprove his allegations about the assassination. Our book was published worldwide but - ironically- not in the States. R.I.P Billie...
  8. Hello, I want to let you know that my next book will be about the death of Marilyn Monroe. Here a short presentation in english : bout the Book Since 1962 the mysterious death of Marilyn Monroe has never ceased to fascinate the public world-wide. Officially classified as a suicide, the death of the superstar continues to raise countless interrogations. Was Monroe the mistress of the Kennedy brothers ? Are JFK and Bobby in any way involved in Marilyn's disappearance ? Was there a witness of her last moments alive ? What role did the mafia, the CIA and FBI-Director J. Edgar Hoover play ? Have the findings of the autopsy of the actress been manipulated, has the file partially vanished and the truth been covered up ? Based on rare documents, some of which forgotten others neglected, and above all thanks to new evidence, Marilyn, le dernier secret puts an end to all remaining questions surrounding the Monroe enigma. After the assasination of JFK, the secrets of the Coca-Cola Company and the dark side of the food industry, William Reymond takes on Hollywood's twists and turns. The French journalist William Reymond is based in the US and has already published numerous books with Flammarion, including his most recent best-sellers JFK, the Last Man Standing, Coca-Cola, the Forbidden Inquiry, and Toxic. His work has been published in several countries across the world such as Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Brazil, China, Russia, Korea, Netherlands and Japan. ------- In the meantime, I uploaded 2 home-made trailers for the book. Please, check them out ! Feel free to ask any questions, William
  9. John, it's so obvious that I didn't even mention it. Since JFK, le dernier témoin, I published 3 others books. None on them were related to the JFK assassination ( even if Bush Land was, for obvious reasons, heavy on Texas politics). My publisher was able to sold the translation rights for all of them. The only major countries who didn't buy the rights were UK and USA. I got this very akward situation where I'm writing about US topics without, apparently, having the slight chance to be published there. My previous book about the secrets of the Coca-Cola Company was a major success In France and so it was published in 18 countries including most of Europe, China and Russia. But not the States. I will not draw any... conspiracy theories here but it's just akward. As for me still working on the case, I never fully retired ( such thing is impossible. The JFK mysteries have addicting powers, aren't they ? ) but it was not my main concern for the last few years. My next project is not about the JFK assassination BUT it's related to it.
  10. Let's face it : this thread is a sad reminder that we will never be able to close this case. We are not united. Everytime one of us is mowing toward the truth, the rest of OUR community is spending a huge amount of energy to discredit his work. We don't need Bugliosi, McAdams or Posner to do the dirty job, we are doing it by ourselves ! It's just a shame. I finished to read David's book. I really like it even if I don't share all his views. But, as a member of our community, I really want to thank you. For the first since the 70's, believing in a conspiracy, it's not a shame anymore. I was pleased to see that even Time ( yes, TIME !!!!! ) was offering his a page to make his case. Great job sir .
  11. I'm sorry but it's just plain wrong. Marshall was not an investigator and he never did any kind of investigation on BSE. I know that this story is wide spread but the facts and the files do not support it. Quite a contrary. Marshall's job was to approve or not cotton allotments and he did change his position several times. Few days after his meetings, he wrote a memo stating that the deals were legitimate. And few days before his death, he did approve some allotments on Billie's behalf.
  12. I guess that you are not really familiar with the publishing business. Flammarion aka the original publisher own the books worwilde rights but as a French publisher can publish only in.. France. So, then, its job is to find national publisher ready to buy the rights and publish a translation of the book. They didi it in several countries as Spain or Japan and they failed in the States. Their interest was to do it but they didn't find any US publisher with an interest of publishing the English Version. i already did it. It's not a new book, it's not a translation. It's an old draft. See my other post on the same topic.
  13. Few words on this book because i hate to see good researchers as Larry and others wasting their time and energy. 1) The Estes book is not a translation of JFK, le dernier temoin 2) The book is a first draft that Tom Bowden and myself wrote back in 2000. This draft was used by the publisher to shop the project around. It was a failure and one reason was that lot of BSE's claims were not backed by fact and some of them were in direct conflict with others evidences. I guess, it was Tom and myself position all the time. Back then, we grew more and more unconfortable with Billie's story. Or, may i say, Billie's stories. And it's one reason why the draft is pretty heavy on Billie's childhood and business deal and pretty light on the JFK assassination. 3) Then, my publisher asked me to do a different book. A book with hard facts and evidences. With less Billie but more JFK. And this time, the rule was pretty simple : each Billie Sol's allegations must be prove right/ So, Tom and myself started a very deep and long investigation on Billie's claim and with a strong emphasis on the Texas mafia. JFK, le dernier temoin and the video documentary were the results of this new investigation. 4) few months ago without asking my publisher, Tom or myself approvals, Billie Sol published the 2000's first draft hoping that our community will buy it thinking that it was a translation of the book or an updated project. It's not. This move will have several consequences. Most of them are none of my business. But let me say that today i'm very sad. Even if Billie printed a very short stack of copies, this move will add another shadow's layer on his credibility and then, on our ability to solve JFK's assassination.
  14. David wrote : Thank you David. The book did good. About me and posting on the JFK assassination, let say that i was impressed by John's job and his commitment to History and Education. So, i'm still in a kind of semi-retirement. It's very interesting, especially the way the FBI is dealing with their own experts. On a general way, the fingerprint issue as evidence is a controversial topic between experts. It's why Darby's brillant job + two others confirmations are not a slam dunk. But now, he you add fingerprint+ tape+ Mac's background+ few other things, you are pretty close of a three pointer from Downtown !
  15. Larry wrote : Approching Kyle was tough. Talking to him was tougher. Having him on camera about the Carter's tape was...miraculous. Even with Billie's green light. So, i don't think that Kyle will adress the topic with another researcher. Then Dawn wrote : William is good enough Tell Nathan that i'm sorry. I'm not the producer of the documentary and i have hard time to access the film. Myself, i only own a bootleg copy on a very poor shape. I hope that my next trip to Paris will help with this issue. Who is X ? I'm well aware of Billie's reputation and let say that it's well deserve. Only a fool will trust Billie and find him credible without any kind of verification. And it's why Tom and myself did spend so much time to find evidences of Billie's allegations. Not only the JFK assassination but everything else as his relationship with Carter and LBJ. The truth about the Franklin Grand jurys, the rape allegations... The power of the 1971 tape. According to Barr, a french expert did it. I'm sure that X can tell you the whole story
  16. 1) Let say that I can confirm that the tape is not another Billie's fairy tale. 2) No. He did name two others persons involved on the operation. The first one is Sheriff Bill Decker to control the motorcade and the aftermath. I cannot name the second one but his job was to be sure that Decker will do his job right. 3) Not in the tape. But I have several reasons to strongly believe that LHO knew that he was taking part of JFK assassination. 4) Not in the tape. But LBJ didn't pay for the assassination. Dallas did. 5) If rumors are right, Billie Sol is currently planning the release of the book. If he will do so, it will be without my publisher's approval and without Tom and myself's approvals and superivisation. Larry, I'm a journalist and an author. So, I have two video tapes interviewes with Kyle but no affidavit. Not my job. Tom Bowden don't have the credit he deserves. Tom was my daily partner on the story. We did spend three years together on the story. For commercial reasons, my publisher was not ready to put three names on the cover. They want to have mine bigger because my name can sell books. I did fight against that but business prevail. And Tom's name was kicked out. And it's a big shame. So, yes, I can confirm than Tom has listened to the tape.
  17. John, these are good questions. So, first, you asked : Billie Sol Estes did not have first hand knowledge about the assassination. You are right, back in 1963, most of the ties between LBJ and BSE were cut. Billie Sol was in big trouble and Lyndon did want his name to be link with him. I know, that sometimes Billie said that he knew about Dallas prior November 22 but it's not true. His knowledge came from his 1971 conversation with Cliff Carter. The one he did tape. Cliff did express his regrets about some aspects of his role on LBJ's rise to power. One of them was the assassination. And the fact that LBJ gave to Mac the order to kill JFK. Yes and no. But first, let me state that. Before we were sure about the fingerprint, Tom and myself did spend quite a time to try to find if Mac Wallace was Mac Wallace. Several times, Billie said to us that he used Mac Wallace's name as an alias for somebody else. Though, he said that he didn't do that about the JFK's assassination but others murders. But then came the fingerprint... About your question now. I guess as Historian, you have to be very careful when you try to understand a situation. Yes, NOW, it's pretty obvious than you can tie Mac to LBJ but it was less obvious back in 1963. Plus, do you thing that, as a shooter, you will take part of sucha kind of "project" without any guarantee. As, you will not be caught ? As i wrote in the book, one the most underated question is "Why Dallas". Dallas because they can control everything and they can assure the shooters that it will be a safe job. Then, Mac, is a safe choice. He got the right connection, the right ability, the right past and he so in need of LBJ.
  18. Thank you John. Let me say that this book is not a Billie Sol biography but the result of a three years full time investigation. Billie Sol's allegations were the beginning. Then, Tom Bowden and myself spend much of our time trying to prove if Billie was right or not. Once, we did that, the next step was to go deeper on LBJ's involment, Texas politics, Mac Wallace, the Henry Marshall Case and of course the JFK assassination.
  19. The Arlington on-line obituary seems convincing to me that they were brothers. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They were. I mean Clifton Coleman Carter and Marshall Sylvester Carter were brothers. But LBJ's aide was Clifton Crawford Carter. Clifton Coleman Carter did graduate from West Point in 1926. Cliff Carter was born in Texas in 1918 and he never been to West Point.
  20. I knew about both men but did not know they were brothers. Here are pictures of Cliff and Marshall Carter. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If i'm right, Marshall and Cliff were not relatives.
  21. Yes and he wrote that Romero was a real hit man who was once hired to kill JFK but had a last minute change of mind.
  22. Steve, 400 000 $ pour abattre Kennedy à Paris is a novel published in 1973 (10 th anniversary of the JFK assassination) . The story is pretty close to the Jackal. Camille Gilles is an alias for a french writer. They did try to sell the book as a novel packed with real data on the JFK assassination, the OAS and the several attempts against De Gaulle. They introduce Gilles as an OAS assassin or somebody close to the OAS. Best of my knowledge, Gilles was just a free lance journalist and was hired by Julliard to do the job.
  23. Yes, without a doubt about the States. US publishers ( I mean the real ones) DON'T want to publish conspiracy oriented books on the JFK assassination. You can write that JFK was a drug addict, a pervert and a jerk but not that the Warren Commission was wrong. About the UK, I really don't know what did happen. I don't have the feeling that my publisher did a great job trying to sell the book on foreign markets.
  24. Caddy was not a veteran lawyer back in 1984. When I met him back in 1998, he was on his mid 50's, maybe early 60's. That's mean that he was pretty young during the Watergate. And if I remember well, Caddy was the guy who tipped Bernstein about the case. Back in 1984, one interesting tidpit is about the provenance of the money to pay him. Estes was in jail and moneyless. Doug Caddy was paid by the Moody foundation.
  25. Hi Ron, and thank you. JFK, le dernier témoin was published in France (and avaible in Blegium, Swizterland and Quebec), Spain, Japan, Estonia and Bulgaria but not in the States or the UK. And to be very honest, I don't think that it will happen soon.
