LAST SEEN ALIVE
===============

Tom Valentine's guest on *Radio Free America* (shortwave 5.065 
MHz, 9 pm cst, mon-fri) on August 30, 1995 was Lawrence 
Joladin(sp?), author of a book about Korean War MIAs -- *Last 
Seen Alive*.

The Korean War, according to Mr. Joladin, was an "example of some 
of the most bitter combat ever experienced by U.S. troops." The 
fighting was even more bitter than that of Vietnam, says Joladin, 
which opinion he bases on the number of casualties in 3 years of 
the "Korean Conflict" versus those accrued during 10 years of 
combat in Vietnam.

The author claims that there were four times as many MIAs from 
Korea as compared to MIAs related to the "Vietnam Conflict". Yet 
the issue of Korean War MIAs was ignored by the press at the 
time, even though demonstrators *did* march on both the U.N. and 
the White House, demanding answers. What is more, those who dared 
to ask questions at the time, who dared to question the official 
government line, risked being called "communists" for their 
efforts.

Now, however, due to what Joladin calls a "window of opportunity" 
in the opening up of the Soviet government's archives, the author 
has been able to piece together a book dealing with Korean War 
MIAs. During the war, we were totally dependent on the communists 
for information on exactly who were and where were our captured 
soldiers. Now, a clearer picture is emerging.

The author charges that at the close of the Korean War there were 
2200 what he calls "authentic MIAs" (versus an official tally of 
8200, of which 6000 were in fact dead). By "authentic MIAs", 
Joladin means soldiers who were alive, in enemy hands, at the 
close of the war.

The treatment of prisoners in Korea was quite bad compared to, 
for example, treatment of U.S. POWs in Germany during WWII. In 
Korea occurred the first massive use of psychology as a means of 
breaking down the individual. For example, prisoners were kept 
awake for long periods and were subject to other psychological 
tortures. Says Joladin: "The [movie] 'Manchurian Candidate' was 
based on some pretty accurate intelligence at the time."

According to the author, some of the Korean War prisoners were 
taken to Manchuria, a province of Red China, and even to Siberia 
where they were forced to work as laborers. Some were even turned 
into Soviet agents.

Although the Korean War occurred over 40 years ago, even today 
there are relatives of those missing who keep looking for answers 
and who believe that there loved ones *were* alive at the end of 
the "police action".

One interesting example was that of a family in Arkansas who, in 
1992, received a postcard from what seemed to be their long-lost 
son, a Private Wildon East. This postcard, according to East's 
father, was in his son's handwriting and contained a photo and an 
army service number. Although cautioned by the FBI that the 
postcard was probably a hoax, the family is convinced it is 
genuine. They believe that Private East is alive in a labor camp 
in North Korea.

But how could the card have been sent out from a labor camp? The 
author suggested one possibility: Korean citizens living in Japan 
can easily visit their native land because they bring hard 
currency with them. Perhaps a politically sympathetic individual, 
or at least someone who was bribe-able, was persuaded to carry 
the postcard out.

Another interesting report, covering an entire chapter of 
Joladin's book, deals with the events surrounding the 
disappearance of one Roger Dumas(sp?), a U.S. soldier in Korea at 
the time of that war's end.

Roger's brother, Bob Dumas, served in Korea where, along with 
Roger, he was captured and served out the war as a POW. On the 
last day, when Roger was to be re-patriated, Chinese soldiers 
came along and took him out of line. That was the last time that 
Roger Dumas was ever officially seen, although he is rumored to 
have been still alive much later. The response of the government, 
says Joladin, "is one of extreme denial. Bob Dumas has had to 
fight every inch of the way for information." At first, the 
government even denied that Roger Dumas had been a prisoner, says 
the author.

A lot of people are convinced that there is an active conspiracy 
in the Korean War MIA issue, but not Joladin. He says, rather, 
that apathy plus ignorance plus a desire to save your own 
bureaucratic skin all adds up to a tragedy of major proportions.

If Lawrence Joladin's book, *Last Seen Alive*, is not available 
via your local bookstore, you can write for it at Inkslinger 
Press, 1733 20th st. NW, Washington, D.C.  20009. Cost is $18,

OKLAHOMA CITY BOMBING- The Suppressed Truth
by Jon Rappoport
Blue Press
2633 Lincoln Blvd. Ste 256
Santa Monica, CA 90405
213-243-9005

Rappoport is the author of AIDS Inc., Kill the Monster, and the
editor/author of US Government Mind Control Experiments on Children
He ran unsuccessfully against statist Henry Waxman in the Democratic
primary in Los Angeles and feels strongly that election fraud occurred
against him in that election. I know him to be a highly ethical
investigative journalist with 15 years experience, and urge anyone in
the LA area to listen to his weekly Free Form radio program on WPFK.

The book Oklahoma City Bombing- The Suppressed Truth covers all of the
substantive issues that have been raised in this mailing list regarding
the cover-up and more. Rappoport has done his homework: he has
interviewed other free lancers, network reporters in an effort to pin
them down on inconsistencies, a writer from the Daily Oklahoman who
wouldn't provide her last name, Eye witnesses, Oklahoma State
Representative Charles Key who stated to him that a Tow missile was
found in the Federal Building after the blast, Ray Brown the
geophysicist at University of Oklahoma who works for the geological
survey there, and many others...

Rappoport analyzes the cover up with the skill of a gifted
investigative journalist, who has the ability to tie all loose ends
together. He carefully followed all of the media reports and points out
numerous inconsistencies that don't add up when viewed against the
backdrop of people he has interviewed and facts he has pieced together.
This is a MUST read! It's the book that shatters the coverup, and I urge
you to get a copy. In Rappoport's words:

"In the case of Oklahoma City, federal police are being forced to
invent a fantasy. The truck bomb didn't cause the real damage to the
Federal Building. Couldn't. Didn't. Not ever. That's the secret. Right
there, at the beginning, the whole government story falls apart in your
hands. The truth about death in Oklahoma City has been covered up since
9:02 am on April 19th, 1995. And no politician will keep that truth
from coming out."
