MISINFORMATION
"There has been a lot of misinformation poured out . . . It is time for
people to look in different directions. I don't really care who did it. I just
want Lee to be exonerated if he is not the guilty party."
ILLUSIONS . . .
Marina Oswald, in Dick Russell's
The Man Who Knew Too Much.
"There is a type of optical illusion known in its more pretentious
manifestations as 'camouflage art.' These are paintings, generally of
wilderness landscapes, that, viewed up close, look like simple picturesque
scenes—a mountain lake with a snow-covered slope reflected on its surface, a
field of wildflowers, a forest of birch trees. Take a few steps back,
however, and the picture changes. The mirrored rock assumes the shape of
an eagle in flight, the flowers form themselves into a rearing stallion, the
boles of the birch trees become the profile of an Apache warrior. The
myriad details resolve themselves into a single, unmistakable image,
previously hidden from sight, but only when they are seen from a distance."
From Deranged, Harold Schecter's study of
serial killer Albert Fish.
MIRRORS . . .
"The overwhelming evidence is that a conspiracy—a big conspiracy
containing numerous levels of intrigue—led to the Kennedy assassination.
Everywhere you look, there is another hall of mirrors. Over the years . . . it
has become virtually impossible to see what the truth is. Where is the
wizard, the wicked witch? All of the above, or none of the above . . . What
ultimately faces us is a hydra-headed beast, but it is possible to come to
grips at least with its claws. Always remembering that the intrinsic nature of
this beast is fog and smoke, nevertheless this is not a wholly ambiguous and
unknowable world . . ."
MAGICIANS . . .
From Dick Russell's
The Man Who Knew Too Much.
"President Kennedy's assassination was the work of magicians. It was a
stage trick, complete with accessories and false mirrors, and when the
curtain fell the actors, and even the scenery, disappeared. But the magicians
were not illusionists but professionals, artists in their way."
From Herve Lamarr's
Farewell America
