New #1 Amazon.com history book reviews the ‘fatal triangle’ between Lee Harvey Oswald, LBJ and JFK10/29/2019 Book gives a full picture of the gunman’s character from the point of view of a psychologist
Author John D. Williams calls the nexus of Lee Harvey Oswald, Lyndon B. Johnson and President John F. Kennedy in the 1960s a “fatal triangle”, and in his book Lee Harvey Oswald, Lyndon Baines Johnson and the JFK Assassination, he uses his skills as a psychologist, statistician and researcher to give a fuller portrait of the men forever starring in one of America’s greatest tragedies. Amazon.com has already rated the book its #1 seller in new releases on 1960s American History. “The Warren Commission characterization of Lee Harvey Oswald is simply false. They hide his relationships to the CIA and the FBI. It addresses his relationship with Jack Ruby, as well as Oswald’s income, which was much greater than previously reported,” said Author Williams. “It simply paints a fuller picture of the real man that does not fit the profile of him developed by the Warren Commission, i.e. the lone gunman seeking greatness through the assassination of a President.” This is Dr. Williams’ first book after nearly two decades of writing and publishing scholarly analyses of the JFK assassination as a Doctor of Psychology for various universities, including the University of Northern Colorado. “Dr. William’s book isn’t just another summary of other authors’ works but is a fresh approach to understanding the JFK assassination. This new synthesis is made possible because of the extensive interviews Professor William’s conducted with Dr. Ernst Titovets, Judyth Vary Baker, Madeleine Brown and many others,” writes Gary Severson, a JFK researcher who like Dr. Williams has spent a great deal of time tracing Oswald’s links to the mid-west, especially North Dakota. “This in-depth analysis of Lee Harvey Oswald’s pre-November 22, 1963 life gives us a very unique view of Oswald that has not previously been available in one book.” The book will fascinate JFK assassination theorists with new details linking Oswald to critical witnesses and his New Orleans girlfriend Judyth Vary Baker, as well as new information about Oswald’s trips to Mexico. His analysis uses statistics and facts to draw conclusions in an easy and clear writing style, reflecting his college-level teaching expertise, said TrineDay Publisher Kris Millegan. Dr. Williams will present his book which becomes available on Amazon.com on November 1 at the JFK Assassination Conference in Dallas Nov. 21-24 at the Market Center Doubletree Hotel. His presentation is Friday, Nov. 21, 8 a.m..

Author Christopher Fulton to make rare speaking appearance at the JFK Conference in Dallas on Saturday, Nov. 23, 4 pm CST, Doubletree Market Center, 2015 Market Center Blvd., Dallas; contact (800) 556-2012 for interviews
Christopher Fulton, a successful American developer in Vancouver, Canada, was labeled a threat to U.S. national security, placed on the FBI’s most wanted list, arrested, extradited, and interrogated without counsel; he was then viciously prosecuted and federally incarcerated. Christopher Fulton is the last survivor of the U.S. government’s ongoing attempt to finalize the suppression of Robert Kennedy’s unsecured evidence from JFK’s assassination, as detailed in the book, The Inheritance. Christopher Fulton unwittingly unlocked some of the mysteries that have surrounded JFK’s life and death for more than 55 years when he acquired personal items JFK’s secretary, Evelyn Lincoln, had kept locked away for years, at the request of Robert Kennedy. These included JFK’s secret Oval Office recordings. These non-secured materials, including a Cartier watch JFK had on at the time of his assassination, had the ability to alter the course of U.S. politics and history, according to Mr. Fulton. Following Mrs. Lincoln’s passing and the transfer of these materials to Mr. Fulton and his subsequent meeting with JFK Jr. who had plans to acquire the evidence and expose the truth about JFK’s death, the U.S. Government intervened, and put Christopher Fulton right in the middle of the Assassination Records Review Board’s investigation under President Bill Clinton. Though promised by President Donald Trump to be released, the files related to Mr. Fulton’s experience remain sealed or missing. Now a free man, Christopher Fulton tells his story and how this experience has impacted his professional and family life, how being brutally attacked and incarcerated brought him face-to- face with the nation’s cruel penal system, and how a political agenda can overrule justice. While there is much discussion in the nation about a “Deep State”, Christopher believes he came up against it by accidentally, opening a hidden chapter in U.S. history. ABOUT CHRIS FULTON: Christopher Fulton was born in 1965, just outside Washington, D.C., into a family with rich military history. He was on his way to being accepted to the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis but chose a career in commercial construction. His discipline and diligence took him to the top of the high-rise construction industry in Vancouver, British Columbia, where at age 33, during the height of his success, he was extradited and spent years in federal prison for his possession of the physical evidence related to JFK’s assassination. His wife, Michelle Fulton, helped him write a memoir of the experience, called The Inheritance: Poisoned Fruit of JFK’s Assassination (Trine Day, ISBN#: 978-1-63424- 217- 2). The Fultons reside in California with their two children and rescue dogs. For more information or interviews: Kris Millegan (800) 556-2012; [email protected] Julia W.

GRETNA, LA. OCTOBER 22 - Young Audiences Charter School (YACS), the only arts- integrated charter school in Jefferson Parish, broke ground today on its new state-of-the-art facility at 1000 Burmaster St. in Gretna, which will house middle and high school students. The new $25 million campus will be conveniently located behind the current school located on Virgil St. Young Audiences of Louisiana CEO Rickie Nutik and Young Audiences Charter School (YACS) Leader Brandon House joined State Treasurer John Schroder, Gretna Mayor Belinda Constance, Jefferson Parish Public School System Superintendent Dr. Cade Brumley, JPPSS Board Member Mark Morgan, YACS Board Chair Edna Moore and YACS Board Members, students and parents in celebrating the new campus. They turned shovels as the award-winning YACS Marching Band performed and students cheered them on. “We are thrilled to expand our arts-integrated curriculum to more students in Jefferson Parish,” said Young Audiences of Louisiana Executive Director Rickie Nutik. “We are proud to be able to offer a high-quality, open-enrollment education for students in Grades K-12.” The new facility was designed by Sizeler Thompson Brown Architects and is being built by Landis Construction. The school will be situated over an 11-acre area with 177,000 square feet of space, including a black box theater, state of the art classrooms and science labs, green spaces, sports facilities, and art studio space. The building is expected to be completed by August 2020. "We're excited for this new construction to benefit students and thankful to improve the overall portfolio of Jefferson Parish Schools," said Jefferson Parish Public School System Superintendent Dr. Cade Brumley. This year, Young Audiences Charter High School welcomed its inaugural class of 9th graders to its temporary location at the Salem Lutheran Campus, 418 4th St. in Gretna. Young Audiences Charter School also serves lower grades at its Kate Middleton Campus, 1407 Virgil St. in Gretna (Grades 2-7) and its Little YACS Campus (Kindergarten and 1st grade) at 3600 6th St. in Harvey. At YACS, the arts-integrated curriculum reflects recent research from the arts education field that provides significant evidence of the value of the arts in the learning process. Arts Integration combines the arts with the learning of core academic subjects. It supports educational achievement and improved student behavior by giving children both a "springboard" and a "safety net" for learning. The arts allow students to be more engaged in education-focusing on each child's abilities and interests to provide support in academic achievement. The arts also provide increased opportunities for parental involvement in school, a key component to education. Opened in 2013 as a Type 1 Charter authorized by the Jefferson Parish Public School System, Young Audiences Charter School is currently open to any Jefferson Parish student entering Kindergarten through 10th grade. YACS will add a grade each year to eventually become a full PK-12 school. Opened in 2013, Young Audiences Charter School is an open enrollment, arts- integrated charter school in Jefferson Parish for grades K-10. Enrollment is open to any Jefferson Parish student. Recent research shows that students at schools with an arts- integrated curriculum scored higher on standardized tests and academic measures than those at other types of schools, including academic magnet schools. (PAIR, 2013) Additionally, students involved in the arts have better attendance, fewer behavior referrals, increased class participation, and are more likely to report a love of learning. REUNION: Wednesday, Oct. 16, 1-3 p.m.
WHERE: New Orleans Historic New Orleans Williams Research Center 410 Chartres St. CONTACT: Jeanne and Jeff Geoffray (214) 850-4584 [email protected] MEDIA: Heather Harper/the Brylski Company (504) 897-6110 or (504) 289-0499; [email protected] In December, 1965, a small vocational school known as the Adult Education Centerwelcomed an integrated class of mostly black underemployed women to begin training to become the first secretaries who would integrate the all-white businesses of New Orleans. The effort caused an uproar at the time. The first pilot program was shut down after neighbors in uptown New Orleans objected to the school’s integrated student population. After the pilot program closed, the founders went looking for a new home. In the process, 60 landlords turned them down. Finally, one brave landlord, James J. Coleman, agreed to rent them a space in a series of converted bars on Exchange Place in the French Quarter. During its period of operation from 1965 to 1972, the school placed 94 percent of its 431 graduates in jobs with salaries above the national average, thus making it one of the most successful programs of its kind in the War on Poverty. The program was not without controversy for teaching English as a second language and for teaching African-American history and culture. The school published the first textbook on teaching English as a second language to native English speakers. It also pioneered teaching African-American makeup and hairstyles to help prepare its students for working in some of the city’s most high profile offices. Last, but not least, the school was a champion of taking a humanistic approach to vocational education. So, in addition to typing and shorthand, the students worked on writing, speaking and communication skills to help strengthen their critical powers and self-image. The school was shut down a second time in 1967 for political reasons. But a group of New Orleans businessmen and leaders rallied to keep the school alive. The school was brought back to life in 1968 as a private / government partnership that was unique in its day and became a model for other such partnerships around the country. The story of the school closing and reopening was the subject of an Emmy Award winning documentary entitled, “The School That Would Not Die” written and narrated by Mel Leavitt. Eventually, the program’s success gained recognition from President Lyndon B. Johnson and a U.S. Senate committee welcomed Dr. Alice Geoffray, the school’s director, and three students to testify in Washington about the reasons why the school was so successful when so many other jobs programs in the War on Poverty failed. The late Congressman Hale Boggs, the father of Cokie Roberts, who recently passed away, was a great supporter of the school. Dr. Geoffray documented the successes of her students, many who went on to earn advanced degrees and become prominent New Orleans change agents. These stories are celebrated at the reunion by survivors and their families, as well as used to encourage new generations of success by the award of scholarships to local students.

“Companies acting on an international basis should quickly learn that there are no safe places left to hide from liability for environmental and human rights incompliance,” said Berlin attorney Christoph Partsch. “The French court decision and the German exequatur decision form a formidable precedence to that end.” Nicaraguan courts previously ordered compensation to these workers, which Dow claimed was unenforceable but the French courts last month agreed to hear cases of previously uncompensated workers in a Paris trial early in January, 2020. The case is about the corporate giants’ continued use of the banned pesticide in Central America well into the 1980s after it had been banned in the U.S. during the previous decade. According to Mr. Partsch, the French court of Bobigny first issued an injunction to seize the property of Dow to protect the enforcement of the Nicaraguan decision. With this French decision in hand, Dr. Partsch and his legal partner Jana-Maria Wernitzki petitioned the Merseburg court in Germany to grant exequatur pleading under the European Brussel Convention obliging European member states to recognize the legal decisions from another member states. The seizure allowed by the German court was served by German bailiff to Dow Olefinverbund GmbH which holds the so-called Buna complex, a giant chemical plant built in 1930s and sold by Germany to Dow for about 3 billion € in 1995. The legal move conserves and protects the options of the plaintiffs, according to the attorneys. The multinational legal team for the plaintiffs include Berlin-based German attorneys Mr. Partsch and Ms. Wernitzki, French Supreme Court Attorney Francois-Henri Briard, former Chair of the Paris Bar Attorney Pierre-Olivier SUR, Nicaraguan Attorneys Tony Lopez and Gustavo Lopez Jr., and internationally-known environmental American Lawyers Stuart H. Smith and Robert McKee. “Finally, these plantation workers will collect damages from Dow and its subsidiaries,” said Mr. Smith. “These companies knowingly poisoned people and then left without any penalty, knowing these workers would be denied a normal family life.” Mr. Smith also called attention to the fact that Dow has hidden a multibillion-dollar liability from its stockholders and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, since the Nicaraguan Courts ordered a $805 million payout, which the companies continue to ignore. Mr. Briard said, “Our German colleagues did a fantastic job; it is clear that brave European Judges, French and German, are now on the way to provide justice to these men and women of Nicaragua poisoned by American companies. One should not be surprised that in a world where companies act globally victims do cross borders. I am confident that we will get French Trial Court exequatur with provisional execution very soon; with seizures done, especially the German one, we will be able to sale shares in good conditions for our clients.” New Orleans’ consistently top academic performing elementary school, Lake Forest Charter School, likes to say its students are “at-promise” thanks to its leadership team’s focus on student excellence and the strong support from its parents and volunteers. Sylvester Johnson, Community Liaison for the public charter school in New Orleans East, said this intense pride in the school’s students is bolstered by AT&T’s announcement to join the October 12th Cocktails and Blues Gala as one of the event’s signature $20,000 sponsors. In addition, AT&T announced it will give an additional $16,000 grant to support the school’s students with arts and cultural experiences specific to New Orleans. Lake Forest’s Board of Directors, Founding Chief Executive Officer, Mardele S. Early, and the Parent’s Committee wished to specifically thank AT&T Louisiana’s Regional Director Michael Ruffin and AVP of External & Legislative Affairs David Aubrey for their support. “There is no doubt our school is driven by our vision to invest in our students as tomorrow’s leaders. AT&T’s investment in our work allows our school to continue to evolve and excel.” said Ms. Gina Dupart, Board President. This year’s Cocktails & Blues event on Oct. 12 features T-Ray the violinist and Rechell Cook & the Regeneration Band. The Patron Party and Dinner begins at 6 p.m. and the Silent Auction and Gala continue into the evening beginning at 8 p.m. at the New Orleans Lakefront Airport. AT&T said it wanted to celebrate the school’s academic achievements with students, parents, and supporters since its exemplary test scores and flourishing extracurricular programs exemplify the type of education programs the corporate leader hopes to see more of in New Orleans. Mr. Johnson said the investment will help develop Lake Forest students as global leaders by adding supplemental dollars to the school’s instructional programs, as well as comprehensive sports, music and arts programs. “In so many ways, this makes it easier for us to be able to concentrate on the education our children,” said Ms. Early. “Contributions like this help our school truly focus on what matters most.” PICTURED: Lake Forest Charter receives a $20,000 donation to its annual Cocktails & Blues event from AT&T.
