Flashback to the 40th (2003)

[Phil Dragoo]

In 2003 I explained David Mantik's use of radiodensitometry to show forgery of the lateral and anterior-posterior skull x-rays of the JFK autopsy

to my then-radiologist who listened intently and responded

"I always knew there was more to it than what they were telling us," she explained.

Earlier this year the retiring oncologist inquired what I was reading now

and I'm sure it was Destiny Betrayed and he listened to my long version

of its amplification of the danger posed by the inconvenient district attorney

asking for the spelling when I veered into more and more side canyons

Mantik, M-A-N-T-I-K, I answered

He'll have time now that he's not daily immersed with life and death and medical science

to explore these things which have patiently waited

It is the dark matter of the universe

and, paraphrasing Grace Slick, it's got no place to go

Tension v entropy

Hypnosis and the electronic soporific

versus

the Compleat Human

I never miss an opportunity to hiss and boo the automatons patrolling the fence

or to correct someone who "knows Oswald did it because he was the only one in position to take the shot"
