This documentary represents far more than what the cover seems to say. I know. I was not only one of the film's producers, I worked for Garrison for those few historic years he took on the burden of investigating the assassination of one of our nation's greatest Presidents. In the hands of the filmmaker's technology in 1992, the evidence is presented in a way which would have totally altered history, had that technology existed in 1967 when Garrison decided to risk his entire reputation as a distinguished D.A. and challenge the Warren Report's corrupt conclusion. It was not President Johnson's design that Kennedy be murdered. If that were true, he wouldn't have ridden in a convertible car just a few cars behind Kennedy's presidential limo. "Triangulation of fire," was the sophisticated plan of motorcade murder devised by CIA operatives long before 11/22/63. If LBJ had known what that meant, he have told President Kennedy that he'd meet him at the Trade Mart luncheon and skipped the motorcade. Those who are responsible for the assassination of JFK are well known to foreign governments (intelligence depts). I know. I was assigned by Garrison to contact and then meet with General DeGaulle's Secret Service Director, Andre Ducret, who told me what happened in Dallas when JFK was assassinated for political reasons. I gathered that evidence and returned it to Garrison in New Orleans in June of 1968. I arrived with with a heavy heart. Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June, 1968 while I met with General De Gaulle's top officials. I wondered if my trip had something to do with the murder of Robert Kennedy. The member of the Deuxieme Bureau with whom I met during late May, 1968, was a close friend of Bobby Kennedy, and he was devastated at the assassination of his friend, RFK. I was also devastated because I was on foreign soil and working for Garrison and the truth seemed to be within my grasp. I was looking forward, at the time, to bringing home the evidence gathered by the intelligence agents and the head of the Secrect Service for General De Gaulle, the head of France. This film doesn't show all that because the filmmakers were restriced to incontrovertible evidence based on compelling eye-witness accounts. If you want names then read about the trial of E. Howard Hunt recounted in Mark Lane's report and best-seller, PLAUSIBLE DENIAL (Thunders Mouth Press, 1992). The names of those responsible are there. Many former CIA operatives know the truth, including Marita Lorenz, who constantly risked her life to tell the truth about the murder of a dead President.

The fact is that people continue to be interested, fascinated,even obsessed, with the subject(and will be for centuries to come), no one with the authority to file criminal complaints has done anything about it except Jim Garrison. Against all odds, Mark Lane told the world what was not true with his book, RUSH TO JUDGMENT in the 60's and awakened the people of our nation to the fear but Garrison spent his life as a public servant in his effort to solve the case. "JFK Assassination: The Jim Garrison Tapes" is a documentary that you will never forget. And someday, it will be one of the primary pieces of "evidence" in the correction of history. Lee Harvey Oswald was not alone. There were experts who were paid to kill JFK, and they got away with it because they were backed by powerful people. Very powerful people. Look at this film, and then consider it in light of all the American political events which occur during your lifetime. If I die tomorrow, I will never regret having been a part of making this film. And I will always feel that I had something to do with righting the terrible wrong that was done in the record of our history. In other words, I will not have to ask what I might have done for our country. Source
