Congresswoman Luna, Good day<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Recently, I read of your being appointed to chair the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets regarding the deaths of President John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, and Dr. Martin Luther King. I also noted that in a press release, you mentioned that based on your initial evaluation of certain evidence provided to the Task Force, you believe there were two shooters who assassinated JFK, a sure step in the direction of proving there was a plot to kill him.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Such a conclusion fits in with the research I have conducted for the past fifteen years as a former noted criminal defense attorney and ABC<\/em>, CNN<\/em> and USA Today<\/em> legal analyst for the Mike Tyson, O. J. Simpson and Kobe Bryant cases turned historian and bestselling author who has published six books about the president\u2019s tragic death with one more on the way this fall. I am quite pleased that you and your colleagues will now probe not only the president\u2019s death, but RFK\u2019s as well since I have uncovered shocking new evidence about who orchestrated his death and who covered up the truth with the result that it appears Sirhan Sirhan was not culpable for any of his actions triggering the need for a fresh investigation of his case.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

To be certain, your Task Force will discover many documents and hear from many so-called \u201cexperts\u201d about the twin assassinations, and you must follow every lead, but I caution you to beware of outlandish \u201cconspiracy\u201d theories about what happened to both men when they died in the 1960s. Many distortions of history exist, including those present at the 6th Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza, and to the contrary, I have prided myself on publishing the following books based on primary source material, not speculation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Since I am unaware if you and your colleagues know of my research, I would like to contribute it to your investigations and assist wherever possible with exposing the strongest evidence available to provide the public with the most logical conclusions available. Perhaps my research can also lead to additional research, including important documents, \u201cwitnesses\u201d to be interviewed, and so forth, and to that end, I volunteer to speak with or appear before your Task Force when called upon to do.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

My books, ones that focus on the 18th month investigation of JFK\u2019s death by heralded journalist and media icon Dorothy Kilgallen, the most credible reporter to have probed her friend the president\u2019s death, as well as my own independent investigations, include:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

More about these books and me may be learned at www.markshawbooks.com<\/a>,<\/a> So you and your colleagues may learn of my research firsthand. I have forwarded along via FedEx five of the books mentioned above as well as the flash drives for the manuscripts. If you wish me to point out certain areas of interest historically in any of the books, I will do so<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This said, it is the new, breakthrough book of mine entitled Justice of the First Degree<\/em><\/strong> that I believe achieves what has never been done before – connect the deaths of JFK (1963), Dorothy Kilgallen (1965), and Robert Kennedy (1968). To be published this fall, it is based on shocking new evidence regarding motive and benefit from the crime, the homicide detectives’ best friends, pointing for the first time to the powerful Mafioso who orchestrated each of the deaths and the sinister government official who covered up the truth. To give you an idea of the book\u2019s content, I have included the Cover, Introduction and Chapter One with this letter while also sending along the flash drive for the Injustice<\/em> book with the other books so you may take a look.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Before turning to important evidence for you and your Task Force to consider, I want to point out if you are not already aware, that an important confirmation of your conclusion about more than one shooter being involved in JFK\u2019s death comes from the mouths of President Lyndon Johnson and commission member Senator Richard Russell as included in an audiotaped conversation between them (<\/strong><\/a>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fz97avl7nW8<\/strong><\/a>)<\/a>. It is included in the Injustice<\/em> book at page 282: :<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

LBJ \u2013 Well, what difference does it make which bullet got Connolly?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

R \u2013 Don\u2019t make much difference but they said that the commission believes the same bullet that hit Kennedy hit Connolly. Well, I don\u2019t believe it.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

LBJ \u2013 I don\u2019t either.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

R \u2013 So I couldn\u2019t sign it [the Final Report] , , , to the contrary, and I\u2019m not gonna approve that. So I finally made \u2018em say there was a difference in the commission in that, that wasn\u2019t so. \u2018Course if a fellow was accurate enough to hit Kennedy right in the neck with one shot and knock his head off on the next one . . . he didn\u2019t miss completely with the third shot and according to that theory he not only missed the automobile but missed the street.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Well if the man\u2019s good enough to put two bullets into Kennedy, he didn\u2019t miss that whole\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This said, neither Johnson nor Russell made this conversation or their opinions available to the public at any time prior to, or following the release of the commission\u2019s Final Report as explained in the new book as part of the commission\u2019s deliberate coverup of the compelling evidence indicating a plot to kill JFK. As you may be aware or will learn from my book, doing so was the work of FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover who was protecting not only himself and the bureau from responsibility for preventing the president\u2019s death but stopping any investigation about the one man he knew who had the strongest motive to kill JFK, Marcello.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Such a conclusion is evident if one recalls that after certain underworld figures, including that<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Mafia Don, \u201cassisted\u201d the Kennedys by \u201cfixing\u201d the 1960 presidential election at the behest of Joseph Kennedy, they had done so based on a promise they would not be investigated for any criminal activity in the future. To the contrary, an eyewitness I interviewed (RFK associate John Seigenthaler) confirmed the \u201cpromise,\u201d but there was a double cross and Marcello was deported by the newly appointed Attorney General Robert Kennedy to the wilds of Central America. When Marcello returned, he was indicted for racketeering and vowed \u201crevenge\u201d against RFK but instead of \u201celiminating\u201d him since JFK would have pursued the Mafia Don based on motive, Marcello, solid evidence proves, orchestrated JFK\u2019s death so Bobby would be powerless, which is exactly what happened since the Mafioso were never pursued again during that time.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This said, the first question you may be asking is who Dorothy Kilgallen was and why should you, in my opinion, should include research about JFK\u2019s demise by learning more about her and her amazing career? To that end, this letter and the accompanying books, documents, and various links to internet data, introduces you to this amazing mother of three who would be murdered at age 52 when she became, to be certain, the reporter who knew too much about the assassination.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Regarding Dorothy\u2019s ascent to becoming called by the New York Post<\/em> in 1960, \u201cthe most powerful female voice in America,\u201d I believe you will see similarities between her having to overcome many obstacles along the way and you doing so with each of you exhibiting courage along the way. Indeed, your story is as inspiring as hers is for young women who must face gender discrimination, etc., when they attempt to compete in what may be called \u201ca man\u2019s world.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In Kilgallen\u2019s case, she was a college dropout who became a cub reporter for her newspaper and then had to work twice as hard as others to climb the ladder to success. That included her close friend Ernest Hemingway labeling Kilgallen, whose Journal-American<\/em> column was read by more than one million people each day, \u201cOne of the greatest female writers in the world.\u201d Before that, she had covered the Charles Lindbergh baby kidnapping trial and Dr. Sam Sheppard murder case<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

(became the Fugitive <\/em>movie). More about her fascinating career may be learned at www.thedorothykilgallenstory.org<\/a>.<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Regarding her probe of JFK\u2019s death, unlike many so-called \u201cexperts\u201d who have never set foot in<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Dallas, Dorothy was in Dealey Plaza within a few days of JFK\u2019s death. There she interviewed<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Dallas Police Chief Jesse Curry attended the Jack Ruby trial, where she was the only one out of<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

400 reporters to interview him (three times), and published the secret Ruby testimony at the Warren Commission before it was to be released. Regarding proof she was at the Ruby trial, here is a link to her entering the courtroom.
