Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Seiten: 340 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Written in 1974 Murder From Within will show what actually happened to President Kennedy, the consequences of his murder, and what action Americans can take to protect their institutions from further internal assault. The problem of usurpation from within and illegitimate and bloody transfer of power is as old as political history itself. Betrayal from within from the leaders own inner circle dates all the way back to Julius Caesar and Jesus Christ. Centuries ago, several Roman Emperors were killed by their own Praetorian guards. This plot, which involved only a handful of high officials and a few Secret Service Agents, called for President Kennedy to be maneuvered to Dallas and executed in public. His body was then forcibly removed from the control of the Dallas Coroner and flown to Washingon, D.C., to a military hospital. There, autopsy findings were supervised to foil a later investigation and implicate a scapegoat. The plot required a high probability of success. Therefore, it was self-contained: carefully recruited members of the Secret Service- the President's guards- murdered him. The portability of a motorcade allowed the assassins to escape and the evidence to remain under their control. With their obvious cover as guards, the Secret Service could ensure that the planning would result in the replacement of one chief executive with another who now had the power to cover the crime up. The scapegoat for the crime was placed near the motorcade by being told to look for work at locations on one of two likely parade routes. Once he had a job, the motorcade was planned to pass in front of where he worked. In this way, it would appear that he had found his position by accident. To plan the route first and then place the scapegoat in position would raise serious questions in an investigation about his prior knowledge. Seven years in the making Murder From Within shows exactly and in detail how a small high level group within Kennedy's own Cabinet betrayed him and killed him to benefit an ambitious Vice President determined to become President no matter what.

Additional signature by his wife (Elizabeth Champlin Mason Perry) below the signature: "Mrs. E.C. Perry / Feb'y 1845 / Brooklyn." Provenance: Book was passed down through the Perry family. Sold at Sotheby's, 2018. In 1818, the Perry-Elliott affair came to a head when Perry wrote to Navy Secretary Benjamin Crowninshield preferring court-martial charges against his former subordinate. Not wishing to expose the nation to the controversial aspect of Perry?s splendid victory on Lake Erie, President James Monroe offered the prestigious title of "Commodore" to Oliver if he?d drop the charges against Elliott. Upon accepting that offer in early 1819 Perry set sail for the?Orinoco River,?Venezuela, aboard the?frigate?John Adams (carrying this very book with him) accompanied by the schooner?Nonsuch, there to discourage piracy, while maintaining friendly diplomatic relations with?the Republic of Venezuela?and the Republic of Buenos Aires. Shifting his flag to the shallow-draft Nonsuch Perry sailed upriver to?Angostura?to negotiate an anti-piracy agreement with President Simon Bolivar. A favorable treaty was signed on August 11 with Vice-President?Francisco Antonio Zea?in the absence of Bolivar (who was engaged in the liberation of?New Granada), but when the schooner started downriver, many of her crew, including Perry, had been stricken with yellow fever. Despite the crew's efforts to reach?Trinidad for medical assistance, the commodore died on board Nonsuch?on August 23, 1819, his 34th birthday, as the ship was nearing?Port of Spain, his flagship John Adams in sight. He was buried in?Port of Spain with great honors while the?Nonsuch's crew acted as?honor guard. Perry?s remains were taken back to the United States in 1826 and interred in Newport, Rhode Island. Originally interred in the Old?Common Burial Ground, his body was eventually moved to Newport's?Island Cemetery.
