This is an annotated transcript that started with the copy at
http://spot.acorn.net/jfkplace/09/fp.bac...chotz.html. All
hyperlinks, and footnotes by David Ratcliffe with the permission and
encouragement of E. Martin Schotz.

This is an excellent and important essay, in my estimation. It began as an address to the 1998 COPA conference in Dallas, and is included as an appendix to Vince Salandria's False Mystery, albeit without David's annotations.
In between, it appeared in Fair Play mag. The spot.acorn site is the Fair Play archive, created by Deanie Richards, who once published JFK Honor Guard.
At present this essay is also on a site I created called Fifty. I think I've already directed readers of this forum there.

None of this is particularly important information and I don't wish to bore anyone. But I do want to take this opportunity to (again) reference an early, remarkably prescient essay by M.S. Arnoni, first published in The Minority of One in December 1963, "Who Killed Whom and Why?" It too is on Fifty. Everyone should read it, if only for historical context.

E. Martin Schotz was one of the clearest thinkers on this 'matter' and an early one too. His book in pdf format I TRIED to attach below - History Will Not Absolve Us - It contains many very interesting items! - but it was apparently too large to attach on this forum. It is, however, available with an internet search of the title and the term 'pdf' for download.
