Warren Commission Report: The Most Absurd Investigation In US History
[ΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞ]
John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963 by way of a classic, execution-style ritual sacrifice known as the “killing of the King”*. This form of unusually public and gruesome murder of an extremely popular world leader is designed to shock and awe the mass consciousness. And so it did.
“There is a Secret Society ritual that is ‘the killing of the King.’ The national leader of the people is only a figurehead and has no real power. Power lies behind the scenes within dark secrets. Others pull the strings of the politician puppets. If an upstart, politician puppet makes waves or rocks the boat or doesn’t play ball…..that puppet gets eliminated. It is why Caesar was killed. It is why Kennedy was killed. If you disturb the real power structure, you can be targeted for removal. Such ‘assassinations’ demonstrate to the world who has the real power; it is a bloody statement of who is really in charge; and the truth is our secret rulers control from dark shadows. (There is a reason the Ace is higher than the King in a deck of cards. The Ace represents the Secret Societies that truly run the show).”
Excerpt from: WAS JFK KILLED BECAUSE OF ROSWELL? by Doug Yurchey
JFK was by far the most courageous and self-sacrificing president in modern American history. In his almost 3 year tenure, he made more bold decisions, issued more audacious executive orders, and enacted more revolutionary policy than all of the other US presidents of the 20th century put together. How so, you might ask?
What follows is a list of ten reasons why JFK became the most targeted man in America in 1963.
Each of these 10 explanations standing alone would be considered extremely life-threatening to any sitting president of the USA. And these are just the top ten; there are many other brave initiatives undertaken by JFK which pitted him directly against the TPTB (The Powers That Be).
[ΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞ]
[ΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞ]
Therefore, the real question is how JFK managed to survive as long as he did…
(1) JFK issued executive order # 11110 which essentially disempowered the Federal Reserve System. This international crime syndicate is a private banking cartel with no reserves and is not federal, since its owners are more foreign than domestic. Like President Andrew Jackson, he knew the FED had to go if there was to be freedom from permanent debt slavery for the USA. Needless to say, the NWO bankers would not tolerate such audacity, and JFK knew he would pay the greatest price.
(2) JFK vowed to shut down the CIA shortly after the failed Bay of Pigs operation. The CIA is the granddaddy of all black and psyops around the world, including all major terrorist events before and since 911. With such an enormous and unaccountable black budget funding so many illegal schemes, JFK understood the CIA was the proverbial loose canon. His firing of CIA Director, Allen Dulles, proved to be the last straw. So was his vow to “splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it into the winds”.
(3) JFK was implementing plans to end the Viet Nam War. His failure to prosecute the war greatly irked the Roman Catholic Church, the war’s primary instigator. As the first Roman Catholic US president, he made it clear during his campaign that he would act with complete independence from Vatican influence and always govern as his conscience dictated. Terminating the Viet Nam War became JFK’s number one foreign policy agenda item, which put him at serious odds with the entire World Shadow Government.
(4) JFK adamantly opposed Israel’s plan to develop nuclear weapons. His uncompromising posture enraged Israeli Prime Minister David Ben Gurion, and brought upon him the wrath of the MOSSAD. A nuclear-armed Israel was an essential goal of those who would control the oil and gas reserves throughout the Middle East. JFK was well aware of Israel’s intentions to terrorize the entire Middle East with threats of nuclear armageddon.
(5) JFK was proceeding with plans to reveal highly classified information regarding the truth about UFO’s and the Alien Presence on Planet Earth. “He was the only member of Majestic 12 that wanted full disclosure to the American people.” That Extraterrestrial Biological Entities existed fascinated JFK, and he felt the nation had a right to know. Such revelations would never be allowed by those who control the mainstream media and dictate world governance.
(6) JFK issued a direct warning to all Secret Societies operating on US soil. The Illuminati was not pleased! By taking concrete measures to expose their secret agendas and clandestine operations, he put himself at great risk and his entire Administration in serious jeopardy. Nevertheless, JFK knew that his unprecedented revelations in this regard sealed his fate. It has even been asserted that he went to Dallas having been fully forewarned of the murder plot. Furthermore, he knew he was powerless to prevent a covert coup d’etat engineered and executed by the secret societies.
(7) JFK’s brother and US Attorney General, Robert F. Kennedy, launched an unprecedented war on organized crime, and particularly on the NYC and Chicago mob families. Obviously the American Mafia was not pleased, especially after they allegedly helped swing the necessary Chicago vote (and therefore Illinois electoral votes) in JFK’s favor to win the election. Bobby, himself, admitted that his aggressive pursuit of the mob may have caused the demise of his brother.
(8) JFK inherited the most intense foreign policy hotspot known as Cuba, as well as the CIA’s intention to assassinate Fidel Castro. The Cuban Missile Crisis had broad ramifications for his presidency, as well as for the Cold War. His decision-making independence throughout the crisis, especially his use of personal surrogates and unconventional process, would not be tolerated. However, it was the Bay of Pigs (BOP) fiasco and the withdrawal of Air Force support from the operation which turned the CIA against him for good.
(9) JFK took up the torch of civil rights in a way that no other President did throughout the 20th century. His embrace of the Civil Rights Movement drew close to him many who would try to sabotage his efforts “by all means necessary”. As the Great White Hope, JFK (and RFK) were considered to be a threat to those who would divide and rule through stoking racial hatreds. The Deep South was therefore a conducive environment to stage the assassination, just as southerners murdered Abraham Lincoln post Civil War.
(10) JFK had very serious and powerful enemies in the form of Lyndon B. Johnson, George H. W. Bush, Richard N. Nixon, J. Edgar Hoover, Allen Dulles, as well as the British Crown whose intentions were well known by his ambassador father, Joseph P. Kennedy. The entire global power structure, particularly the US Military-Industrial Complex, and its many secret societies and covert organizations, were vastly arrayed against him. TheWorld Shadow Government was determined to make an [UNFORGETTABLE] example of him.

****************************************************
Original script excerpt from the movie JFK … Jim Garrison meets with X …
… and gets more than he bargained for …. A Genuine Epiphany of Intrigue…
‘X’: …it wasn’t until I was on my way back in New Zealand that I read of the President’s murder. That was 2 in the afternoon the next day New Zealand time, but already the papers had the entire history of an unknown 24-year-old man, Oswald – a studio picture, detailed biographical data, Russian information – and were pretty sure of the fact he’d killed the President alone, although it took them four more hours to charge him with the murder in Texas. It felt as if, well, a cover story was being put out like we would in a black op.
{{Start of Video excerpt}}»» ‘X’: Anyway, after I came back I asked myself why was I, the chief of special ops, selected to travel to the South Pole at that time to do a job that any number of others could have done? One of my routine duties if I had been in Washington would’ve been to arrange for additional security in Texas. The Secret Service is relatively small, and by custom the military will augment them. I checked it out when I got back and sure enough, I found out someone had told the 112th Military Intelligence Group at 4th Army Headquarters at Fort Sam Houston to “stand down” that day, over the protests of the unit Commander, a Colonel Reich…
‘X’: Now this is significant, because it is standard operating procedure, especially in a known hostile city like Dallas, to supplement the Secret Service. Even if we had not allowed the bubbletop to be removed from the limousine, we’d’ve put at least 100 to 200 agents on the sidewalks, without question! There’d already been several attempts on de Gaulle’s life in France. Only a month before in Dallas UN Ambassador Adlai Stevenson had been spit on and hit. We’d have arrived days ahead of time, studied the route, checked all the buildings…We never would’ve allowed all those wide-open empty windows overlooking Dealey… never… We would have had our own snipers covering the area. The moment a window went up they’d have been on the radio. We would’ve been watching the crowds – packages, rolled up newspapers, a coat over an arm, never would have let a man open an umbrella along the way – Never would’ve allowed that limousine to slow down to 10 miles per hour, much less take that unusual curve at Houston and Elm. You would have felt an Army presence in the streets that day, but none of this happened. It was a violation of the most basic protection codes we have. And it is the best indication of a massive plot in Dallas. Who could have best done that? People in my business, Mr. Garrison. People like my superior officer could’ve told Col. Reich, “Look – we have another unit coming from so and so providing security. You’ll stand down.” That day, in fact, there were some individual Army Intelligence people in Dallas and I’m still trying to figure out who and why. But they weren’t protecting the client. One of them, by the way, was caught in the Book Depository after police sealed it off.
‘X’: Army Intell had a “Harvey Lee Oswald” on file, but all those files have been destroyed. Many strange things were happening that day, and Lee Harvey Oswald had nothing to do with them. We had the entire Cabinet on a trip to the Far East. We had a third of a combat division returning from Germany in the air above the United States at the time of the shooting, and at 12:34 P.M., the entire telephone system went dead in Washington for a solid hour, and on the plane back to Washington, word was radioed from the White House Situation Room to Lyndon Johnson that one individual performed the assassination. Does that sound like a bunch of coincidences to you, Mr. Garrison? Not for one moment. The cabinet was out of the country to get their perception out of the way. The troops were in the air for possible riot control. The phones didn’t work to keep the wrong stories from spreading if anything went wrong with the plan. Nothing was left to chance. I bet you there were even backup teams and cars on the other side of the underpass in the event that Kennedy got through wounded. They would have moved in with vehicles like they did with de Gaulle. He could not be allowed to escape alive.
‘X’: I never though things were the same after that. Vietnam started for real. There was an air of, I don’t know, make-believe in the Pentagon and the CIA. Those of us who’d been in secret ops since the beginning knew the Warren Commission was fiction, but there was something… deeper, uglier. And I knew Allen Dulles very well. I briefed him many a time in his house. He was also General Y’s benefactor. But for the life of me I still can’t figure out why Dulles was appointed to investigate Kennedy’s death. The man who had fired him. I got out in ’64. I retired from the U.S. Air Force.
Jim: I never realized Kennedy was so dangerous to the establishment. Is that why?
‘X’: That’s the real question, isn’t it – “Why?” – the “how” is just “scenery” for the suckers… Oswald, Ruby, Cuba, Mafia, it keeps people guessing like a parlor game, but it prevents them from asking the most important question – Why? Why was Kennedy killed? Who benefitted? Who has the power to cover it up?… You know in ’61 right after the Bay of Pigs – very few people know about this – I participated in drawing up National Security Action Memos 55, 56, and 57. These are crucial documents, classified top secret, but basically in them Kennedy instructs General Lemnitzer, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, that from here on forward…
‘X’: … the Joint Chiefs of Staff would be wholly responsible for all covert paramilitary action in peacetime. This basically ended the reign of the CIA – “splintered it”, as J.F.K. promised he would, into a “thousand pieces”, – and now was ordering the military to help. This was unprecedented. I can’t tell you the shock waves this sent along the corridors of power in Washington. This and, of course, firing Allen Dulles, Richard Bissell, and General Charles Cabell, all of them sacred cows of Intell since World War II. You got some very upset people here.
‘X’: Kennedy’s directives were never really implemented, because of bureaucratic resistance, but one of the results was that the Cuban operation was turned over to my department as “Operation Mongoose”, which meant that people like my superior officer, General Y, took over the Cuban personnel that were being trained to invade Cuba – and the bases like the training camp at Pontchartrain in your home state that were closed down by Kennedy… and that’s how the “black ops” people, people like General Y, ended up taking the rules of covert warfare they’d used abroad and brought’em into this country. Now they had the people, the equipment, bases and the motivation… check out an old CIA man, Bill Harvey – ran something called “Executive Action”, which carried out foreign assassinations. Harvey was also involved with the fake defection program that got Oswald into Russia. Check out the Cabell brothers. Interesting links to this case.
‘X’: …don’t underestimate the budget cuts Kennedy called for in March of ’63 either – close to 52 military installations in 25 states, 21 overseas bases, you’re talking big money. You know how many helicopters have been lost in Vietnam? About three thousand so far. Who makes them? Bell Helicopter. Who owns Bell? Bell was near bankruptcy when the First National Bank of Boston approached the CIA about developing the helicopter for Indochina usage. How ’bout the f-111 fighters? General Dynamics in Fort Worth. Who owns that? Find out the defense budget since the war began. $75 going on a hundred billion … $200 billion’ll be spent before it ends. In 1950 it was $13 billion. No war, no money. Sometimes I think the organizing principle of any society is for war. The authority of the state over it’s people resides in it’s war powers. Even Eisenhower – military hero of WWII – warned us about it: “beware the military – industrial complex”, he said. Kennedy wanted to end the Cold War in his second term. He wanted to call of the moon race in favor of cooperation with the Soviets. He signed a treaty with the Soviets to ban nuclear testing, he refused to invade Cuba in ’62, and he set out to withdraw from Vietnam. But that all ended on November 22, 1963.
‘X’: Only four days after J.F.K. was shot, Lyndon Johnson signed National Security Memo 273, which essentially reversed Kennedy’s new withdrawal policy and gave the green light to the covert operations against North Vietnam that provoked the Gulf of Tonkin incident. In that document lay the Vietnam War.
In the park with X, Jim is staggered by all this information. X ceases walking and looks at Jim…

There is no question that the corporate-sponsored war instigated in Viet Nam would not be stopped by a peace-loving president who learned from his experiences in WWII. The global Military-Industrial Complex (MIC) already implemented its agenda ensuring perpetual war. However, Kennedy wanted no part of it, but seems to have neglected to see that his Texas-bred Vice-President was one of the prime political movers behind that agenda.
This was perhaps the most fateful compromise of JFK’s career. He knew that he could not win the election without LBJ. He also knew that his presidential platform was quite incompatible with virtually everything LBJ stood for. After all, LBJ’s Texas political machine was well oiled by Big Oil and generously funded by the very MIC corporations that thrived on war.
The obvious upshot* is just that. Because of his strategic position in the Vice-Presidential suite, LBJ was able to set up the final shot of the Kennedy’s term in office. As a matter of fact, the following exposé shows just how confident they were in their plan to remove a US President by way of public execution — Texas-style.

Conclusion:
As you can plainly see, JFK could have easily been assassinated for any ONE of these ten reasons. Each one carries with it grave consequences, so its very easy to understand why “he had to go”, as far as TPTB (The Powers That Be) were concerned. Therefore, it takes only a small leap of understanding to apprehend the extraordinary and complex conspiracy, that was coordinated at the very highest levels of government and power both in the USA and the world-at-large, which ensured his demise in the form of a public execution and ritual sacrifice.
So let’s put to sleep this whole notion of conspiracy once and for all. It’s not that thousands of individuals and groups were directly involved with the actual assassination itself. However, and without question, these numerous organizations were involved obliquely in a cover-up of incomprehensible size and scope. Especially by putting their vast resources in the service of the ongoing and necessary conspiracy of silence, was an extremely well coordinated cover-up ever successfully conducted.
In a highly compartmentalized black operation like this one was, where every perpetrator participated on a strictly need-to-know basis, it is easy to see how they pulled it off. By acts of omission, and silence, and a knowing wink* like LBJ’s captured during his swearing in ceremony were they successful in carrying out the most shocking and horrifying coup d’etat of the 20th century.
LBJ returning a knowing wink to Texas cohort, Congressman Albert Thomas during his swearing-in ceremony aboard Air Force One.
By acting as a truly righteous and just leader, JFK made so many enemies that his assassination was all but a forgone conclusion, and therefore just a matter of “execution”. However, what the TPTB failed to realize, was that a self sacrifice on the order of JFK’s would produce a whole generation of anti-war activists who literally shut down the Viet Nam War – an unprecedented act of defiance in American history. This galvanization of moral ascendancy through the peace movements of the 1960’s & 70’s is perhaps the only time in recorded history that a popular movement was successful at bringing a war machine to a screeching halt!
Because of the extraordinary, enlightening and edifying effects that John F. Kennedy had on the American consciousness, TPTB must have determined that they had no choice but to kill the messenger. JFK’s message of peace and brotherhood and good will was simply to contrary to their agenda. As a “pitchman for peace”, he was far too effective in delivering a message of hope to the entire world. His sincerity was further evidenced by his intention to wind down the Viet Nam War against the wishes of a burgeoning military industrial complex which had never before been thwarted.
In closing the raw truth about the assassination of JFK is that he was to be made a dramatic example of what would not be tolerated by the World Shadow Government. His extremely brutal and public execution was quite purposeful so that no one would ever forget the savagery of the murder. In this way every president and prime minister, every king and queen, every chairman of the board and CEO across the planet would know the following fact of life on Planet Earth:
That such a power exists which can execute a US President in broad daylight with absolute impunity. And that cover-ups of such a serious crime and conspiracy are as easy as fabricating a new JFK assassination conspiracy theory every other year.
However, TPTB failed to realize that there were so many involved in this cover-up that the truth would be revealed sooner or later. And so it has.
Here’s just one little video that will forever provide a photo-documentary of highly incriminating actions perpetrated by JFK’s Secret Service detail as his motorcade began its journey through Dallas on November 22, 1963.
Secret Service orders stand down just prior to JFK’s assassination
That there was an entire “system” dedicated to JFK’s demise once he revealed his true agenda is now without question.
Whereas TPTB were completely committed to perpetual war, economic exploitation, and divide and rule, John F. Kennedy was genuinely dedicated to world peace, economic justice, and social equality.

THE MURDER OF JFK10 REASONS WHY
|
The real proof is in the evidence gathered after the crime. |
One must consider the truths that are self evident if the murder of JFK is to truly be “solved.”
Let us now clearly examine these truths:
1- The Kennedy family were/are members of “the elite” (players in international high finance circles) since the early days of Joseph Kennedy. John F. Kennedy was elected to office through monetary power and with the help of the Mafia. Without the total support of other members of “the elite” – he would not have become President.(2)
2- JFK and his brother, RFK, attacked organized crime in an effort to expose the Mafia to the public and curtail its power. JFK and Chicago mob boss Sam Giancana shared the same mistress, Judith Campbell Exner. Giancana helped JFK win the election in Illinois and on the east coast.(3)
3- Since 1942, the CIA and the Mafia have worked together in numerous clandestine operations.(4)
4- JFK refused to allow the CIA and American troops to attack Cuba thereby creating the infamous Bay of Pigs fiasco in 1961. Following that incident, General Charles P. Cabell, Deputy Director of the CIA, went around Washington calling President Kennedy a traitor. The CIA solicited the services of the Mafia to kill Fidel Castro.(5)
5- International bankers have controlled America for over 100 years.(6)
6- The Vatican Bank is one of the most powerful international financial institutions in the world. Paul Marcinkus, the sole American ever to rise to an executive position in the Vatican Bank, was from Cicero, Illinois, a legendary Chicago mob stronghold. In 1994, Marcinkus was accused of money laundering drug profits in a USA Today news report. Now a resident of Arizona, Marcinkus declined to comment.
7- CIA operatives and former covert agents using CIA planes and vehicles often control the transportation of narcotics from the source. The Mafia controls the global drug distribution network to the consumer. The defunct Nugan-Hand Bank in Australia as well as banks in the Cayman Islands and Switzerland have also participated in CIA/Mafia money laundering of drug profits.(7)
8- The public execution of John F. Kennedy was accomplished by a three man Mafia/CIA “firing squad” in association with a patsy, Lee Harvey Oswald. The CIA was aware of the attempt on JFK’s life prior to 11/22/63 and flew in an “abort” team to Dallas on the morning of the “hit.”(8)
JFK assasianation .C.I.A agent tells all
Published on Mar 19, 2015
After 50 years a CIA agent comes forward and tells how he and other agents were sent into Dallas to abort the assassination of President Kennedy…
9- In 1963, John F. Kennedy was preparing to amend the National Labor Relations Board statutes and various Internal Revenue Service statues that would prevent foreign flag shipping from being exempt from American income taxes. These amendments would have seriously affected Liberian shipping magnates and the assets of men such as Aristotle Onassis. Billions of dollars were at stake. President Kennedy was killed three days before he was to make these amendments public.(9)
10- In 1979, The House Select Committee on Assassinations concluded that there was a”probable conspiracy” in the murder of JFK and that organized crime members “possibly”were involved.(10)

RUSSRANT: THE POPPY COVER-UP BOOK?
Bush 41 Gets Another Free Ride

Several years ago, when I heard that George H.W. Bush’s “biographer” was preparing an authorized account of the 41st president’s life, I was curious, to say the least. How would he handle the remarkable fact that Bush 41, known to friends and family as “Poppy,” was nothing like the man the public thought he was?
Two Faces, Neither Good
For anyone unfamiliar with my work: I spent five years researching Poppy and his clan for my book, Family of Secrets. In the course of my digging, I was positively gobsmacked to discover that this supposedly mild-mannered, nerdy, inarticulate, awkward, indecisive fellow had actually been much more interesting and consequential.
From the moment he went to World War II as a naval aviator through successive stints as an oilman, congressman, diplomat, and party official, his official work masked the fact that he was deeply immersed in the spy world. He was involved with a succession of highly secretive covert operations affecting not just outcomes in his own country but around the world — from the Bay of Pigs to coups abroad and scandals and cataclysms at home — including Watergate and Iran Contra. (To learn more, begin here, Part 1 of a series of 10 excerpts from Family of Secrets.)
Publicly, he said he couldn’t recall where he was when John F. Kennedy was shot in Dallas, but I found out. Guess where? Dallas! Guess who he was working for? The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)! Whose longtime director and master coup planner, Allen Dulles, a close friend of the Bush family, had two years earlier been forced out by JFK.
This “double life,” explains why in 1976 — at a moment when Congress was digging into the deepest secrets of the CIA and threatening to dismember that powerful and unaccountable club — the man chosen to run it was none other than the “pleasant”, preppy, purported non-spook, George H.W. Bush.
Because virtually no one knew that he was already in the club, he could come in and give it a phony veneer of a house cleaning. However, if the media actually did its job, dug for the truth and then leveled with the public, Poppy’s appointment might have opened the way to a whole new understanding of how power is wielded in America, through a cast of characters in which Poppy Bush and his brethren played a starring role.
This revelation wasn’t forthcoming, of course, and to this day labeling George H.W. Bush as a master-spook sounds like lunacy, because “everyone knows” he’s an affable fellow who owes his successful public career to little more than a series of curious accidents.
But those who make an effort to get the history of the Bush clan, unfiltered, from unendorsed sources — and I am one of them — know better.
Giving the Cover-Up a Touch-Up
So when I heard the inevitable drumbeat for the new “biography,” with which the elder Bush had “cooperated,” I couldn’t help wondering how the author would handle this “assignment.”
I didn’t have to wait to read the book, which is called Destiny and Power: The American Odyssey of George Herbert Walker Bush, (and comes out Tuesday) to get the answer. Because what counts for public opinion is typically not what is in a book, since most will not buy it. And even those who do will often not read it. Or they won’t read it carefully.
No, what shapes opinion most often is what the public is told is in it.
The pre-publicity answered the question for me: the author, Jon Meacham, a former editor of Newsweek (a magazine with its own strong historical connections to the intelligence fraternity) would simply walk around the truth, while keeping his attention steadfastly on the carefully propped up facade.
When I saw the excerpts, I knew for sure that this would be another whitewash — another dishonest contribution to the disinformation campaign that has for so long kept most Americans in the dark about key episodes in modern United States history.
Typically, publishers take their best shot with the snippets, morsels and advance peeks they dole out to their favored outlets in the media. That means that whatever is most shocking is revealed at the outset. In the case of this new book, the shocker is that Poppy Bush doesn’t like what became of Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney, and blames them for, to some extent, leading his son and namesake astray.
Example, from The New York Times, which of course got an advance copy:
He said he thought Mr. Cheney had changed since serving in his cabinet. “He just became very hard-line and very different from the Dick Cheney I knew and worked with,” Mr. Bush said. He attributed that to the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. “Just iron-ass. His seeming knuckling under to the real hard-charging guys who want to fight about everything, use force to get our way in the Middle East.”
… He added, “Rumsfeld was an arrogant fellow and self-assured, swagger.”
Whatever one makes of these not really very shocking ”shocking” news items, rendered in Poppy’s inimitably mangled, imprecise and inelegant diction, it hardly goes to the essence of this man.
What really amazes me, despite how often I have seen it played out in the course of my career, is how superficial, purblind, fundamentally dishonest our media establishment is.
You can be sure that with the red carpet rolled out for this author by virtually every major network and media show of every stripe, while every publication dutifully “summarizes” the “major revelations,” Poppy Bush will rightfully perceive himself to have won the war of perceptions over those who have struggled to unearth the truth.
At the same time, I can’t help wondering if, deep down, George H.W. Bush doesn’t feel just a little bit frustrated that his life has been reduced to a bland fiction — when it really is such an extraordinary story…
