ME & LEE: HOW I CAME TO KNOW, LOVE AND LOSE LEE HARVEY OSWALD -- AND WHY I DID NOT FORGET HIS WORDS

by Judyth Vary Baker

I am being asked how I’ve been able to remember conversations that occurred decades earlier. At one time, I was able to read a page and recite every word on the page, but since having sustained several concussions a decade ago, I’ve lost that ability. However, I still retain an excellent memory for details, as anyone knows who converses with me. Recently, however, I have been asked how I could possibly have remembered, in full detail, the conversations as presented in the book Me & Lee: How I Came to Know, Love and Lose Lee Harvey Oswald. (see http://www.judythvarybaker.com for more information).

Indeed, when I first presented our conversations in book form, in late 1999, I was afraid to place them in quotes for fear I wouldn’t be believed. “How could she remember so many details?” could have seemed a quite reasonable question, unless one had met me and knew how entirely precise I could be concerning details on almost any subject. I have been blessed (or cursed) with the ability to remember almost everything I’ve ever read. My brain is actually overloaded with information.

Nevertheless, most of the conversations in the book Deadly Alliance, -- the first large

ly accurate book about “Me and Lee” -- written with the help of researcher Howard Platzman -- were recorded in “he said,” and ”she said” mode.

That book did not convey enough information, based as it was on emails passed back and forth, though it was a vast improvement over the ‘teaser book’ shown to publishers a year earlier, which contained very little information. The teaser book was a means to see what publishers might be interested in what I had to say without revealing key matters that I held back until I could determine which publisher(s) could be trusted.

Unfortunately, at the time I had a literary agent who tried to force the CBS news magazine Sixty Minutes to take “his” producer --- Isidore Rosmarin--- who had produced some stories for Sixty Minutes in the past --to film my story. But Sixty Minutes wanted to use a different producer. When the agent refused to cooperate on this and other matters, I fired him.

There would be no more meetings with publishers, after that bad experience with an agent, for a decade. Even my association with the seasoned researcher, Harrison E. Livingstone, who went on to publish an unauthorized version of my book, was wholly through emails. But Livingstone wanted the book to be published quickly. Consequently, he did not allow me sufficient time to check it for errors. It had far too many, and I stopped is publication.

Disappointed with Livingstone’s incomplete editing job, I returned to my original plan – not to have the information published until after my death. I would just go on with my life—if possible. But I was being harassed and threatened. And Internet newsgroups had set out to destroy my reputation. I defended myself, which simply gave them material to alter, or to shamelessly quote in bits and pieces out of context. When I corrected false statements that they attributed to me, they said I had changed my story. They even published so-called contradictions that they, themselves had created. In addition, false stories were circulated, such as that I had changed my name to “Vary” from “Avary” because I was ashamed of my family’s name – a story even mentioned by the respected researcher, Jack White, who believed it was true:

======Jack White, on Apr 11 2010, 01:25 AM, said to Dr. James Fetzer====

"JVB has claimed that she "hated" her family name of AVARY (Judy Ann Avary), so she changed her name to Judyth A. VARY. I consider this a peculiar thing for a teen girl to do. And then go off all alone to a distant strange city. Sounds like a bad familial relationship. A runaway? Jack

The truth: my maiden name was "Judyth Anne Vary." I never 'hated' my family name, and my family name was never "Avary." I used "Avary" as a FIRST name when teaching at the University of Louisiana for six years, so that the name "Judyth" would not be used -- I was afraid of being linked to 1963 too easily. Such silly stories get passed around, plus equally silly accusations and speculations. There are dozens of such falsehoods spread around about me. Apparently “anything goes” in newsgroups. Most newsgroups have been infiltrated by persons who deliberately create dissent, parroting old government-sponsored lies about Oswald that have long been disproven, but which the government continues to disseminate.

I call such defenders of that obsolete stance traitors to their country. They believe that for the security of the country, these intelligent and clever liars have decided that we should not know the truth about who killed Kennedy (the government, through the Mafia, supported by the far right and a military-industrial complex coalition that developed eternal warfare with our neighbors, greedily promoting the financial and moral rape of America’s middle class). I am proud of the scars I carry due to these traitors.

I had decided to go to the grave, originally, with what I knew, and to simply let my son publish the book posthumously. Then I would not have to battle the forces that could (and did) ruin my life. However, two factors came into play to change my mind aboutgoing to the grave before this vital information about Oswald was released to the public: 1) my son was unaware of the milieu in New Orleans, and in the nation, in 1963, and, worse, knew almost nothing about the lies and falsehoods circulating about Oswald. He would be unable to defend the book. 2) I realized that he would not understand the value of the materials I had saved from the past, and how they helped me achieve the feat of remembering the conversations. A streetcar ticket dated April 28, for example, would have little meaning for my son, whereas for me, it evoked a host of sharp, strong memories, including key conversations.

The streetcar ticket shown on p. 145 in the first printing, first edition of Me & Lee, represented the second time I had ridden the St. Charles streetcar in New Orleans. I had failed to save the first ticket, but I saved the second one.

Each time I looked at it, over the years, a surge of memories of that pivotal day broke over my thoughts in a cascading stream of events. I could remember almost every moment, the most important of which was Lee’s confession that he had beaten his wife. That confession impelled me to decide to go ahead and marry Robert A, Baker, III.

I kept hundreds of such items, and with the help of a diary ---until it was stolen and burned in my very front yard – an event for which I have witnesses --- I was able to keep my memories quite fresh.

Once a year, around Thanksgiving, I would go through several boxes of ‘old things’ – a habit that also produced stacks of Christmas ornaments and other items to begin Christmas decorating. I would dedicate a whole day to what I believed was my duty: not to forget. After my 1986 divorce, I was able to spend far more time going over the conversations and events, without fear of being discovered. My goal was to one day tell Oswald’s beloved daughters just exactly who their father was, but I was also anxious that they would understand exactly why and how their father had come to have a love affair with another woman while still married to their mother.

Their father was entirely innocent of the grave charges against him—the killing of the President, and of a Dallas police officer—and I was determined that Lee Oswald’s sacrifices for his country would not be forgotten. I realized that not only Oswald’s daughters, but also the whole world, would have no way to hear their father’s voice if I did not preserve his words in my memory.

After the assassination of President Kennedy, Lee’s wife, Marina, had been under tremendous pressures. She could have been deported, and her American-born baby left behind, for example, so of course I forgive her for her quailing in the face of threats, as I hope she will forgive me for my existence as “the other woman.” I understand her fears: I was told to keep my mouth shut if I wanted to stay alive, and I did so for decades. Marina was unable to hide. She was in the spotlight.

Descriptions in the press of “the assassin’s” family ring with cruel prejudice. Lee Oswald was automatically described by the well-controlled media as Kennedy's killer --still the case today: “Afer (sic) the assassination of JFK was reported, [Allan] Grant was sent to Dallas, where he photographed Lee Harvey Oswald's wife, Marina (bottom). “Working with Life correspondentTommy Thompson, they tracked down the family of Lee Harvey Oswald and got the exclusive for the magazine,” writes Marden. Richard Stolley, Life’s Los Angeles bureau chief at the time, remembers the coverage. “His kindness toward that notorious family enabled him to win their confidence. After all, it wasn’t their fault that they had a presidential assassin as son and husband, and Allan instinctively understood that.

It was no secret that Oswald’s marriage was miserable. It improved when the couple lived in New Orleans, for Lee had promised me that he would never strike his wife again, and he kept his promise, knowing that I would have nothing more to do with him if he broke it. As Lee Oswald learned to control his anger – his wife could say very cruel things, and could be very provocative – I saw him mature before my eyes into the man he yearned to be –more gentle, sensitive, and kind. Lee Oswald was always kind to animals and children, but I reminded him that Hitler had dogs he loved, and was quite kind to children. They were no threat to his manhood. It was Lee’s challenge, I insisted, to become the kind of man I knew he really could become.

Witnesses who defended Lee Harvey Oswald were ignored – and some died under suspicious circumstances, or were actually murdered. Then, for decades, the public was given a grossly distorted picture of the accused assassin, based on a mass of poorly handled and sometimes faked evidence. But it was Lee Harvey Oswald who intervened to save Kennedy’s life – at the risk of his own—in Chicago. It was Lee Harvey Oswald who joined an ’abort team’ that was organized to try to save Kennedy in Dallas.

Oswald had to be eliminated, even before the eyes of millions, before he could tell reporters and others who was responsible for the President’s death. Lee Harvey Oswald was shot to death by someone who had been a friend of his for years – the Dallas Mafia bagman and police fixer Jack Ruby, who ran a local nightclub. Ruby later told reporters that “a new kind of government” was taking over the country. The reason he had to kill Oswald would never become known, he said, because those in “high places” would make sure of that. [Viz: YOUTUBE Video, jack Ruby, at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJE4JtGaCEw]

I had been forced into silence to save my life. But I finally realized that if I did not speak out during my lifetime, I would have no way of defending the book, Oswald’s words, or the researchers and witnesses who already given so much to get the truth to the people. By speaking out, my career – to be a respected professor of English -- was destroyed. I was also heckled, harassed, threatened, and harmed, to the extent that I had to leave the country twice, and finally, in 2007, permanently, becoming the first American non-combatant woman to seek political asylum in the EU system.

There I was sheltered for over ten and a half months –as long as the system could legally keep me (for the US is not on the list of countries from which asylum seekers could be accepted), until my family and friends found ways for me to live in safe places overseas, far from my enemies. To this day I rely on donations to pay for the medical problems I still have from the so-called “accidents” I suffered while living in Dallas, where I had moved in order to try to find more witnesses to help me defend Oswald.

I wish to make it clear that the conversations that Lee Oswald and I shared were memorized and kept fresh in my memories over time because they were not the ordinary kind of conversations that a man and a woman share, who are in love. They were conversation kept intact in my memory because they were conversations involving the planned murder of Cuba’s communist leader, Fidel Castro, the clandestine development of formidable bioweapons, and the knowledge that Lee Oswald confided to me that he had penetrated an assassination ring intent on killing Kennedy. Would YOU forget such conversations?

Lee told me, too, that he was “better off dead to both sides” –the Communists and the CIA – because neither side could trust him. This was the man accused of killing President John F. Kennedy. It was my solemn responsibility, therefore, to retain the memory of what Oswald said. I do not pretend to have recalled every word he spoke, but I can guarantee that everything written in these conversations represent the true mind of Oswald as he confided his thoughts and concerns to me. Over the years, if I recalled something that I had missed, I would enter it under the proper day, and even the hour.

Mary Ferrell, upon seeing my personal chronology, gave me a personal copy of her own. Her gift allowed me to find the information I badly needed concerning Fernando Fernandez, a pro-Castro spy about whom I could previously find nothing . Finding his name in the Ferrell chronology was a relief, for it allowed me to see that I had correctly recalled everything about him.

I was surprised, however, to find a number of errors in Ferrell’s chronology, which I have pointed out to researchers. Most of these “errors” are traceable to misinformation deliberately generated to falsely implicate Oswald. The prejudice in Ferrell’s chronology is obvious in such statements as “Oswald shot at General Walker,” and her entirely unreasonable living allowance for him and his family, which fails, for example, to take into account transportation and medical expenses. I have my own record of expenses for my life in New Orleans at that time, to the very penny, and I could not have lived on the puny allowance Ferrell applies to Oswald, his pregnant wife, and their toddler. Her point seems to be that he was able to finance everything without help from outside sources: this is not true.

When the 608-page book Me & Lee was being edited in an attempt to make the story shorter and more accessible to the general public, sometimes a few words would be changed or left out, and I would inform one of the editors involved that such-and-such words had to be retained. Presently, I see only one word in Oswald’s conversation printed in error in the first printing of Me & Lee -- on p. 457 the word “gravitating” is used, when Oswald actually said “grav-tating” --- a “typo” that was “corrected” by the editors without my noticing it.

There were a few other problems originally present in this large book —a sentence repeated, a photo of witness Mac McCullough missing, and photo of Charles Thomas, AKA Arthur Young, mislabeled, with its hand-written message truncated, and a few typos in the mass of end notes, but all-in-all, the editors improved the book immensely. In particular, Edward T. Haslam, the author of Dr. Mary’s Monkey, made important and insightful improvements to the book. His expert knowledge of New Orleans meant that he was also able to obtain information about Mary Richardson, a then-young, socially-active wife of a well-known minister who could have been an important witness in the case. But chillingly, she died of an unexpected and suspicious heart attack only sixteen days after the assassination.

I want everyone to know that every sentence in the book coming from Oswald’s mouth is as close to what he said as memory has permitted. To anyone who wonders how I could have preserved the conversations, please remember: Lee Harvey Oswald was no ordinary man. This man was accused of killing Kennedy. These were historic conversations. If you had been in the position I was – in love with this innocent man – a man accused of killing Kennedy-- I believe that you, too, would have made an extra effort never to forget.

5.0 out of 5 stars 2nd Generation Lifton-Quality Breakthrough, February 8, 2010
By David Myers (Vancouver, British Columbia Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Inside the Assassination Records Review Board: The U.S. Government's Final Attempt to Reconcile the Conflicting Medical Evidence in the Assassination of JFK (Volume 1) (Paperback)
Like the author, I was totally mesmerized by David Lifton's book "The Best Evidence" when it was first published in 1981. I had read at least a dozen JKF assassination conspiracy books and felt that Lifton's was the most effective and convincing case and, in retrospect, it had the most influential impact on the case up until the releasing of Oliver Stone's monumental movie on the subject, "JFK". I felt that Stone's movie managed the impossible - to weave together the most important facts and inconsistencies into a generally believable explanation for what happened. Stone seems to have managed to include about 80% of what I considered the most relevant, the most telling, and the most comprehensive set of information about this wide, free-ranging and nation-destroying conspiracy.
So now I have a new hero - the author, Douglas Horne. This review is based only on the first of the five volumes of his report on the ARRB's (Assassination Records Review Board) work - attempting to secure the remaining undestroyed (or un-altered, as well as the obviously altered) documents and evidence that still exist. Douglas Horne is like a second generation conspiracy theorist picking up on the seminal work of David Lifton and progressing it further and in more detail in an attempt to clarify the true workings of the conspiracy, particularly the cover-up (at least in this first of five volumes). He has done a masterful job of first securing a position on the ARRB, then developing a working relationship with his immediate supervisor and finally exerting a major influence on both the selection of people to interview (both under oath and not) and on the direction and focus of the questioning. I can't wait to read the other four volumes and have already ordered them based on my reading of the first volume. This book is probably the most currently definitive work on un-covering the conspiracy and the subsequent cover-up. Bravo Douglas Horne!

5.0 out of 5 stars Review written by, and posted on behalf of Bob Wilson, January 1, 2010
By Julia Zafereo (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
This review is from: Inside the Assassination Records Review Board: The U.S. Government's Final Attempt to Reconcile the Conflicting Medical Evidence in the Assassination of JFK (Volume 1) (Paperback)
Mr. Horne has done an excellent job in his research for the AARB, and
has broken important
new ground. The interview Mr. Horne conducted with Dr. Thornton
Boswell regarding JFK's
wounds is earth-shaking (yet often ignored). Boswell pointed to a
large section of Kennedy's
head being blown out on a model of a human skull when asked to
demonstrate the damage
he had seen at the original autopsy.
Mr. Horne displays courage and depth of insight in many other areas as
well. His work is very
important, and cannot be overlooked in any true search for the truth
in this case.
Mr. Horne digs into the areas that the Posner and Bugliosi types avoid
at all costs. This is a "must have"
for anyone seriously interested in finding out the truth of what
happened to our beloved 35th president.

5.0 out of 5 stars a break-through must-read evidence-based work/devastating, March 1, 2010
By Kenneth D. Watson "ken" (australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Inside the Assassination Records Review Board: The U.S. Government's Final Attempt to Reconcile the Conflicting Medical Evidence in the Assassination of JFK (Volume 1) (Paperback)
There has been a library-full of books and almost as many theories about the JFK assassination and two main US Govt inquiries and several smaller ones on aspects of the case but finally it is now proven- note "proven",not speculated or guessed at- beyond all doubt in Doug Hornes devastating 5 new books "Inside the Assassination Records Review Board" (short title) where he became Chief Analyst for military records,that JFK was assassinated in a coup d etat in Nov 63 thus showing that Garrison. the courageous Louisiana DA around whose investigation Oliver Stone based his famous film "JFK", was right way back at the Clay Shaw trial in the late 60s.

The huge strengths of Mr Hornes compellingly-argued and wide-ranging evaluative work are both his intimate knowledge of and his objectivity towards the background evidence,especially the medical evidence, built up over many years, to which has been added an equally detailed knowledge and understanding from released records and new interviews especially from those who took part in JFKs highly compartmentalised autopsy at Bethesda Naval Hospital which Mr Horne is therefore able to meticulously put together with a minimum of speculation and a maximum of reasoned and logical inference from the known and uncovered facts.In most cases these facts speak for themselves such is the precision, depth and overview of Mr Hornes research and his deep concern and honesty over the evidence itself.Where the evidence is not 100% for any judgment or opinion Mr Horne reaches, and he is right to presume his readership wants such evaluation ,he tells the reader this is so, and always allows the reader space to reach his/her own deductions,true marks of a liberal historian of deep scholarship and personal integrity.

These would be reasons enough to buy these volumes,but the above paragraphs merely scratch the surface of Mr Hornes immense achievement in that with gentleness of touch and with true grace towards those who came before him he has moved on and focused many vital and difficult aspects of the case - too numerous to mention here- which have been floundering over the years and have needed the light and objectivity of a firm redirection and reassessment and more importantly still he has developed and exposed 2 vitally important paradigm shifts/revolutions in the interpretation of evidence, not only of what happened at the autopsy proving- again the word "proving" is used very carefully- that there were 3 casket entries that evening and that the Dallas casket was empty when it travelled from Andrews Airforce Base to the Naval Hospital and in fact the Presidents body arrived there in a bodybag in a cheap shipping container some 30-40 mins earlier than official FBI records have shown ,but also in an elucidation of the most currently contentious aspect of the case, the authenticity of the Zapruder film.

Here Mr Horne moves away from the intricacies of film processing which he has nevertheless mastered towards a highly persuasive tour de force of special visual effects through aerial imaging on an optical printer thus moving the debate into a new orbit,utterly wrongfooting the Zavada Study,and establishing a vital new freshness and relevance,a reevaluation of methodology which has found a close new ally in the specialist Hollywood Research Group ,all experts in film restoration,where initial results are entirely corroborative of the use of special effects ,in particular the use of applied patches to parts of the film,especially to cover JFKs severe rear head wound, evidence of a Grassy Knoll frontal shot,the same wound as seen shortly afterwards by doctors at the Parkland Dallas hospital, but later entirely and perversely contradicted by the 3 pathologists at Bethesda.

Additionally in this Chapter in Vol 4 Mr Horne exposes severe weaknesses in the films chain of custody and reveals two separate film events which took place on successive evenings at the National Photographic Interpretation Centre during the weekend immediately after the assassination,interviewing witnesses who participated separately in these compartmentalised events ,each group acting in complete ignorance of the other event,and persuasively leads the reader through the testimony of a main witness from the 2nd event on the Sunday night of where the film from which he was preparing blow-ups for briefing boards had come from that very night , into a compelling examination of where the aerial imaging was carried out, at a secret CIA facility attached to Kodak in Rochester,which the witnesses from both events said "could do anything" with film.

That these are dynamic and shattering deductions leading us towards a much fuller understanding of the coverup of the JFK assassination is self-evident.That apologists of the official fiction that one lone nut had 2 lucky shots which no expert could ever replicate have been left gasping for breath by Mr Hornes boldness and empirical self-criticism is equally so,their response again being a feeble populism which may continue to fool some,but the truth will out,and Mr Horne has put that truth out there,at serious personal cost , and demands our admiration and sincere gratitude for his labour of love over 13 years.

Liberals who saw 3 of their world leaders ,JFK.MLK and RFK all killed by "lone nuts"over a period of 5 years from 63-68 may now know at least that the first of these, a US President who coolly defused the greatest ever world crisis in Oct 1962,when World War 3 was literally a hairs breadth away,was most certainly not the victim of 2 impossible shots by the patsy Lee Harvey Oswald but indeed was murdered by forces within the National Security State which combined to engineer both a Secret Service stand-down in Elm Street and an autopsy which was far more than merely negligent, as one limited hangout would have us believe, but involved a deliberate suppression of evidence of frontal shots by pathologists who like all the technicians present that evening,except the morticians who provided valuable new evidence to the ARRB, were under military orders and were warned in writing in documents they had to sign that they would be court-martialled "and live to regret it" ,should they ever speak openly about what they had witnessed on that fateful night.

But don't take this writers word for it- read the books and see for yourself whether a Liberal or not

DEATH THREAT, HISTORY CHANNEL CLAIMS I SAID I INVENTED AIDS, AND THE LIFTON MANIFESTO

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
DR. JAMES FEZTER GOT HIS VERY FIRST DEATH THREAT, EVER, AFTER DECIDING TO WRITE ABOUT AND INTERVIEW ME. HE THEN RECEIVED PERSONAL ATTACKS SUCH AS HE HAD RARELY EXPERIENCED. I THANK HIM FOR HIS COURAGE AND INTEGRITY. JVB-----------------

THE HISTORY CHANNEL SHOULD BE CALLED THE "REWRITING HISTORY" CHANNEL.
ACCORDING TO THEIR INTERNET FLICK ABOUT CONSPIRACY THEORISTS, I AM SOME KIND OF NUT JOB WHO CLAIMED TO HAVE INVENTED AIDS.
OF COURSE IT'S A LIE. BUT DID THE HISTORY CHANNEL DO SO MUCH AS SIMPLY CONSULT ME ABOUT THIS OUTRAGEOUS STATEMENT? DID THEY NOT CARE HOW MUCH TROUBLE THIS KIND OF LIE CAN CAUSE A PERSON TRYING TO LIVE PEACEABLY IN THE USA? THE ANSWER: NOT ONE BIT.
PEOPLE SHOULD NOT WONDER THAT I MUST LIVE IN EXILE.
WITHOUT HELP FROM OTHERS, I DO NOT KNOW WHAT WOULD BECOME OF ME, BUT I HAVE TRUST IN GOD, WHO SO FAR HAS PRESERVED MY LIFE, AND IN THE GOOD PEOPLE WHO LITERALLY KEEP ME GOING.

BUT MOST PEOPLE, AFTER ALL, WILL TEND TO BELIEVE THE HISTORY CHANNEL.
I HOPE THEY STOP BELIEVING.
WHY WOULD THE HISTORY CHANNEL SAY SUCH A TERRIBLE THING ABOUT ME, WITHOUT EVEN ASKING ME IF I'D EVER MADE SUCH AN OUTRAGEOUS CLAIM?
AND WHY DID REPORTER CHRIS ANDERSON PROMISE TO WRITE A BALANCED STORY ABOUT ME FOR MY HOME TOWN READERSHIP, WHICH TURNED INTO AN ATTACK PIECE WITH MANY FALSE REPORTS IN IT, INCLUDING A STATEMENT THAT I WAS SO SCARED TO SPEAK IN FRONT OF MY ENGLISH CLASS THAT I PEE'D MY PANTS? MY DAD HAD TO READ THAT ABOUT ME. MY LONGTIME FRIENDS.
MY FAMILY.
I AM ALSO THE SAME PERSON WHO IS REPORTED IN THAT SAME ARTICLE TO HAVE HAD A PART IN THE SOPHOMORE CLASS PLAY! YES, FOLKS, THAT WAS THE SAME GIRL, SUPPOSEDLY TOO SCARED TO TALK TO HER ENGLISH CLASS, BUT SHE'S ALSO IN THE SOPHOMORE PLAY (WHICH HAD ONLY FOUR ACTORS!). ANDERSON BLAMED HIS EDITOR FOR REMOVING THE 'NICE THINGS' AND LEAVING JUST THE 'BAD THINGS.' THE SARASOTA HERALD-TRIBUNE, AFTER GETTING LETTERS ABOUT WHAT FALSEHOODS THEY'D PUBLISHED (WET PANTIES NOT BEING THE ONLY ERROR) ALLOWED ME TO WRITE 500 WORDS OF CORRECTIONS. IT WAS PUBLISHED LOCALLY, BUT NEVER REACHED THE INTERNET, WHERE THE UNCORRECTED ARTICLE STILL ACCOSTS THE EYES OF THE WORLD.

HOW DID IT COME TO PASS THAT BOLD LIES AND WILD STORIES CAN BE PASSED AROUND ABOUT ME WITHOUT FEAR? IS IT BECAUSE I CANNOT SUE THESE PEOPLE, DUE TO ALL MY JOBS HAVING BEEN STRIPPED FROM ME? (TRY TO GET A JOB TEACHING WHEN YOU GET FINGERPRINTED FOUR TIMES BY THE AREA POLICE, WHO INFORM YOUR SCHOOL DISTRICT THAT THE FINGERPRINTING IS NECESSARY.)
PAST THE HARASSMENT, STORIES THAT I MUST BE BONKERS ALSO CIRCULATE. AFTER ALL, I 'CLAIM' TO HAVE INVENTED AIDS! (!!!) WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO MAKE ME LOOK LIKE A NUT CASE? IS IT BECAUSE I MUST NOT BE BELIEVED, NO MATTER WHAT?
OF COURSE.
PART OF THE STRATEGY MAY BE INSPIRED BY WHAT RESEARCHERS CALL "THE LIFTON MANIFESTO.'

The so-called Lifton Manifesto was sent around in July 2003 to researchers for use any time a reporter might ask questions about me.
It was created in 2003 soon after it leaked out that THE HISTORY CHANNEL might air a documentary about me. The documentary, THE LOVE AFFAIR, Episode 8 in the Nigel Turner The Men Who Killed Kennedy series, was indeed aired in November. But THE LOVE AFFAIR was banned, along with its companion segments, soon after Lyndon Johnson supporters --and even two former Presidents-- voiced their outrage.
These people should have voiced their outrage that an honest investigation of the Kennedy murders and the MLK murder will never occur -- never reveal the whole truth--that our own US government's people from high to low places, assisted by inerested others, orchestrated these assassinations, and benefited from them, at the expense of the people.
I live in exile in Europe and Asia due to unmitigated and sporadic harrassment and threats. You should know who these bad people were, who overtook our counry, and who they have trained to take their places -- they, who were and are the assassinations' beneficiaries ---who took over our country from within, from the top down...think torture, wars, greedy banks, oil profits, selling America's soul, drugs,godlessness, violence and corruption--and remember JFK couldn't be bought off. He dared try to print our very own money for our very own country!

Now the dictators we think we actually elect (through rigged elecronic voting machines and paper ballots counted by machines!) heartlessly do their best to destroy JFK's reputation forever.
If people don't care about JFK anymore, maybe they won't listen to people like me, who tell you that your counry has been stolen from you. Overwork and the equivalent of slavery is next. Learn the lessons of history: when was the last time you felt SECURE in your job? One illness can destroy you forever.
People such as me are weak and small, just insignificant, tiny roadblocks to the rewriting of history that's going on--a rewriting that hides what happened.
I am one of the few left to warn you, to wake you up.

Thus the History Channel will dare say I claim to have invented AIDS, knowing I do not dare go to the US to sue them for libel.
I am sure I wouldn't last long. All those 'accidents' I've already had in the US that put me into the hospital taught me a lesson.
They want me to shut up.
They want you to believe I'm some kind of nut.
Why else publicize me as having claimed to have invented AIDS?
God forgive them. I'm trying to.

A panel of hastily-assembled historians pronounced anathema on one of the TMWKK segments, THE GUILTY MEN -- about Vice President Lyndon Johnson knowing JFK would be killed and allowing it to happen -- saying it was all a fabrication.
BUT THEY NEVER INTERVIEWED ANY OF THE WITNESSES, INCLUDING ME.
The 'panel of historians' functioned as a cover-up, to have an 'official' answer as to why the 3 segments were banned. Even though 50,000 orders for copies of the documentaries were immediately sold, all orders not yet shipped were canceled.

Now that's power.

Not satisfied with censorship, people made sure producer/writer Nigel Turner was demonized on the Internet. He has vanished from public view. His longtime TMWKK series has vanished from the History Channel. In its place are nasty anti-Kennedy documentaries teaching the American people to despise our slain president. Kids are growing up thinking JFK was just a drug-stupored womanizer, with little mention of his heroism. THEY NEED TO READ JAMES DOUGLASS' BOOK JFK AND THE UNSPEAKABLE. THEY NEED TO READ ED HASLAM'S DR. MARY'S MONKEY. THEY NEED TO READ DOUG HORNE'S BOOKS ON THE ARRB. THEY NEED TO READ MY BOOK, ME & LEE, WHICH IS BEING RELEASED THIS SUMMER.

Turner is apparently in hiding. But I doubt he'll be in hiding forever. He's too gutsy. Too honest.
As for me, I eventually had to live in exile.
On November 20, 2003, Nigel Turner sent me an email of encouragement. My emails to others were being blocked and he was concerned. He at that time had no idea that his series would become banned. One part of his email stated, "The Love Affair will air for many years to come when the tittle tattle of your beloved web sites is long forgotten. I think you get the picture." Yes, they were supposed to be aired several times a year --until 2013!

NOW, YOU MUST GO TO YOUTUBE TO SEE THEM (IGNORE THE NASTY COMMENTS WRITTEN ABOUT ME BY PEOPLE, WHEN LOOKED UP, ARE OLD, FAMILIAR ENEMIES..SOMETIMES THE SAME PERSON USES SEVERAL DIFFERENT NAMES).

Interestingly, Rachel Oswald Porter, Lee Oswald's daughter, had sent an email to me expressing her disdain of David Lifton right after THE LOVE AFFAIR aired. She had some bad dealings with him. So have I.
Here's her email: (RESEARCHER WIM DANKBAAR LATER CONTACTED HER AND HER HUSBAND...HER FULL NAME, ADDRESS, ETC.IS WITHHELD FOR THE SAKE OF HER PRIVACY)

Hello,
My name is Rachel Oswald. I was born 10/20/1963. I just saw your
interview on the History Channel. After 40 years of unwanted
attention, I want to thank you for placing the light on yourself and
not my poor mother who becomes distraught every November at this time.
I wanted to tell you that either you are a victim of too much
knowledge and are delusional or you are telling your truth about what
you believed happened to you in 1963.
Personally, I just wanted to know what you can tell me about my
father.
Sincerely,
Rachel Oswald Porter
P.S. I cannot stand David Lifton and believe he would sell his mother
if the price were right. Your thoughts?

I WROTE HER A LONG LETER TELLING HER ABOUT HER COURAGEOUS FATHER, WHO LOVED HER SO VERY MUCH.

Rachel and I both have good reasons not to like Mr. Lifton.

In July, 2003, 4 months before THE LOVE AFFAIR aired, Lifton sent around "the Lifton Manifesto" instructing researchers how to handle the "Judyth Vary Baker" problem.
(hint: his biography on Lee Oswald [once titled "Charade"] had to be put on hold and has yet to see publication, since Lifton had not discovered my relationship with Lee -- so much for his research abilities--- and he apparently deemed it better for him to discredit me rather than to spend time rewriting his book. His book remains unpublished, though he and Debra Conway, who runs the for-profit organization Lancer, had worked on it together for years prior to my speaking out.)
If I could be discredited, Lifton could then publish his book without rewriting it. Editors had already seen it and it was being advertised for pre-sales when it was withdrawn from advertisements.

HERE IS THE DAVID LIFTON MANIFESTO, which has been used against me ever since:from David Lifton e-mail, July 19, 2003:
"ADVICE FOR ANYONE CONTACTED BY A REPORTER. . .

"* Ask: what pieces of evidence or narrative history impress you?
Inform them that most are not original with Judyth ; tell them where they have previously been published and what's wrong with them.
Explain existence of publicly available chronologies, and how Judyth "inserts" herself.

"* She's a loony. Provide phone numbers of people who have dealt with her and know that.

"(Don't argue that her evidence and narrative are wrong *because* she is a loony. That is the ad hominem fallacy. But pointing out that she is in fact a loony is not.

"Regarding Shackelford: Point out his relationship with Harrison Livingstone, and the $ 100 million lawsuit he filed accusing fellow researcher of murder conspiracy; and multi-year co-dependent relationship he has had with Judyth. (Refer to contact at 60 minutes for how Shackelford was pushing this phony story, etc.)"

So what does this do to the witness? It means that on Feb. 28, 2010, when Dr. James Fetzer brought up this topic: "YouTube: Judyth Vary Baker: Living in Exile" I was immediately accused of being a mental case by Jack White, who was influenced on a newsgroup forum.

HERE'S WHERE THE THREAD STARTED:

http://www.youtube.com/user/JamesFetzerNews

Judyth Vary Baker, with whom I and others within the JFK community are in contact, lives in exile due to persecution in the US because of what she knows as a witness concerning Lee Harvey Oswald. The covert operation against Judyth is very serious and takes its toll upon her. She is now 66 [67] years of age and has been forced to live in exile in Europe, where she resides in virtual poverty, even though she is a talented artist who has sold her paintings around the world for more than thirty years. The objective of this campaign appears to be to minimize awareness of her existence as a link to the alleged assassin.

THE SAME DAY, WHITE POSTED THIS:
Judyth suffers from Factitious Disorder.
This post has been edited by Jack White: Mar 1 2010, 12:38 AM

An hour later, he added:

QUOTE (Jack White @ Feb 28 2010, 01:42 AM)
Judyth suffers from Munchausen's syndome.

"FACTITIOUS DISORDER, (of which MUNCHAUSEN SYNDROME is a sub-type), (also called "Adult Munchausen", and "Adult Factitious Disorder") is a formal, DSM-IV mental health diagnosis in which people deliberately exaggerate and/or fabricate and/or induce physical and/or psychological-behavioral-mental health problems in themselves. The primary purpose of this behavior is to gain some form of internal gratification, such as attention, for themselves."

These comments, though supposedly illegal on the Educaton Forum, were allowed to remain.

I sent Dr. Fetzer confidential copies of my psychological evaluations, including my having passed the MMPI II, an IQ test, neuropyschological tests and results, and a letter from my clinical psychologist asserting I was not prone to story-telling or fantasies and was not an attention-seeker.
The evaluations were performed because I suffered short term memory problems after having been deliberately struck by a white van, which event sent me to the hospital with a concussion. The conclusion was that I had sustained short-term memory damage, but that I had no psychological problems beyond some normal feelings of anxiety over my inability to walk well, see well (double vision),etc. Nevertheless, the Lifton Manifesto suggests this mode of attack --"says she's looney" as a prime strategy with reporters, as well as on the Internet.

"You can't fight the Kremlin," Lee used to say.
How true.
But at least, I can tell all of you what these people have tried to do.

I hope you'll read my book and decide for yourself.

For those who say I've added too many personal details to the book, I decided to do it after great thought and personal discomfort. Nobody normally portrays very personal aspects of one's sex life, as I had to do in this biography. But it was necessary because of another 'biography' about Lee, called Marina and Lee (written to make him look like a troubled, insecure, immature, even insipid man with poor sexual abilities). I was determined to show the man as he really was, even if it meant I would suffer some humiliation by doing so.

While there are a few things I haven't mentioned, you can count on this book to give you the full truth about the real Lee H. Oswald, and why a police officer in New Orleans, officer Martello, after interrogating Lee, actually told the warren Commission he would bet his "head on a chopping block" that Lee Oswald did not kill the President.

AND IN THE END, THIS BOOK WILL PREVAIL.
PEOPLE'S HEARTS WILL BE TOUCHED, BECAUSE THE TRUTH WILL REACH THEM.
NO "MANIFESTO" WILL BE ABLE TO STOP IT.
AS EDWARD HASLAM SAID, THEY TRIED TO TERRIFY ME INTO SILENCE, AND SUCCEEDED FOR A LONG TIME. BUT IN THE END, I HAD TO SPEAK OUT.
AND IN THE END, OUR LOVE STORY WILL TEAR APART ALL THOSE LIES ABOUT LEE OUT THERE. PEOPLE WILL KNOW HE COULD NEVER HAVE KILLED KENNEDY.
THEN THEY WILL KNOW WHO DID.
LEE WLL BE VINDICATED.

AND VINDICATING LEE OSWALD MEANS YOU MUST LOOK AT WHO KILLED KENNEDY AND HIS BROTHER--AND MARTIN LUTHER KING.
IT ISN'T NICE, BUT IT'S ESSENTIAL, TO KNOW THAT OUR GOVERNMENT PARTICIPATED IN THE PLOTS AT MANY LEVELS.

TO GET OUR COUNTRY BACK, WE MUST START AT THE BOTTOM AND INSTALL NEW BLOOD, CLEAN BLOOD, UNCORRUPTED BLOOD, THEN WORK OUR WAY UPWARDS. IT CANNOT BE DONE TOP-DOWN. THEY TAKE THE PRESIDENTS TO THE WOODSHED.

TO GET YOUR COUNTRY BACK, HELP ME AND OTHERS WHO HAVE STUCK OUR NECKS OUT TO KEEP THE TRUTH OUT THERE. PLEASE VISIT HTTP://WWW.JUDYTHVARYBAKER.COM FOR MORE INFORMATION, AND TO HELP ME, IF YOU ARE SO INSPIRED.

I'D LIKE TO ADD THAT I WAS STUNNED AND PLEASED TO LEARN THAT A FACEBOOK CAUSE NOW EXISTS -- "VINDICATION FOR JUDYTH VARY BAKER AND LEE HARVEY OSWALD." THANK YOU, SO MUCH, THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE JOINED THE CAUSE! THERE'S MUCH TO BE DONE! GET THE BOOKS I'VE MENTIONED OUT TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN, SO THEY'LL HAVE THE TRUTH IN THEIR HANDS, BOUGHT WITH THE BLOOD AND TEARS OF MANY WITNESSES, NOT JUST MINE.

GOD BLESS AMERICA,and those who love our country.

Judyth Vary Baker
