Topic of Show:

John Lennon's Security on the Night he was Murdered

Hosted by Salvador Astucia

Synopsis of Show:

Salvador Astucia talks, via telephone, with the communications director of Manhattan real estate management firm, Brown, Harris and Stevens, the company that managed the Dakota condominium complex where John Lennon lived and was murdered on Dec. 8, 1980. Astucia also calls and speaks with a vice-president of the Wackenhut Corporation because he suspects Lennon's true killer, Jose Joaquin Sanjenis Perdomo, was placed by Wackenhut as a security guard (or doorman) at the Dakota. Astucia asks the following questions to officials at Brown, Harris and Stevens and Wackenhut:

• Describe the nature of any business dealings between Wackenhut and Brown, Harris and Stevens, particularly those that may have occurred in December 1980(?)

• Provide all you know about the security guard/doorman on duty at the Dakota condominium complex when John Lennon was murdered? (Dec. 8, 1980 at 10:50 pm)

• How does Wackenhut respond to the allegation (made by many people) that the firm is responsible for the murder of union activist and nuclear plant whistleblower Karen Silkwood?

• What was the nature of Wackenhut's business relationship with the late William Casey, former CIA director during the Reagan administration?

At the close of the show, Astucia explains how he determined that Jose Joaquin Sanjenis Perdomo was Lennon's true killer. Astucia also evokes the 1966 landmark Supreme Court decision of Miranda vs. Arizona which addressed the problem of police using coercion to extract false confessions from suspects. Astucia compares Mark David Chapman to other people who gave false confessions, like John Mark Karr, the man who recently confessed to the murder of JonBenet Ramsey, but prosecutors declined to prosecute Karr because his explanation of the crime did not match known details of the case. Astucia also cites the case of the Central Park Jogger, where four teenage boys confessed to raping and severely beating a 28-year-old Caucasian female investment banker jogging in Manhattan's Central Park, in 1989, only to have the true rapist confess years later. (Five boys were convicted of the crime, but only one denied any involvement.) Astucia notes the irony of the Central Park Jogger case because it was botched by the NYPD and Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau, the same people who sent Chapman to prison for killing Lennon.

GUEST: Leuren Moret

(PART 1 of a 2-PART SERIES)

60 minutes

Topic of Show:

Livermore Nuclear Weapons Lab and its advocate, the late Edward Teller

Synopsis of Show:

This is the first broadcast of the Astucia Report. Our guest is Leuren Moret, geo-scientist, formerly employed at Livermore Nuclear Weapons Lab near San Francisco, California. This show is PART 1 of a 2-PART series from a telephone interview conducted on Dec. 11, 2006. Ms. Moret is a critic of US nuclear policy and has lots of interesting thoughts on that and other related topics.

The show begins with host, Salvador Astucia, explaining how he was introduced to Ms. Moret by journalist Christopher Bollyn, formerly a writer with American Free Press. Mr. Astucia states that he is interested in Ms. Moret because she has first-hand knowledge of Livermore Nuclear Weapons Lab, having worked there as a scientist for two years. Mr. Astucia states that he has linked individuals associated with Livermore Nuclear Weapons Lab to the assassinations of both President John Fitzgerald Kennedy and ex-Beatle John Lennon.

Mr. Astucia states that Livermore was run by the late Dr. Edward Teller for nearly half a century, and Dr. Teller is considered by many to be the father of the Hydrogen bomb. Mr. Astucia considers Dr. Teller a "person of interest" in sponsoring the assassinations of both JFK and Lennon. Mr. Astucia states that motives for both murders center around the same issue: Antimissile arms; aka, Antimissile defense; aka, Antiballistic missile technology; more commonly known as the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI, or Star Wars) under President Ronald Reagan’s administration. Mr. Astucia states that in the early sixties, during the Cold War, the name Strategic Defense Initiative had NOT been created, but military insiders referred to the concept as antiballistic missile technology. According to Leuren Moret, antiballistic missile technology is junk/fraud science and is really a cover for what she calls "exotic weapons" programs for the Pentagon.
 

Mr. Astucia provides the following background information on Edward Teller, the murders of JFK and Lennon, and antiballistic missile technology/Star Wars:

• Edward Teller and Air Force General and Joint Chief Curtis LeMay were opposed to JFK's Limited Nuclear Test Ban Treaty in the summer of 1963. This may have been the true motive for JFK's murder. If so, it was likely sponsored by the Air Force, probably JFK's entire Joint Chief of Staff (with the exception of JCS chairman Max Taylor) and various military factions that supported Livermore Lab and the Pentagon's exotic weapons programs.

• Seventeen years after JFK's murder, a suspicious antiballistic nuclear/laser test (code-named Dauphin) was conducted in the Nevada Desert on Nov. 14, 1980, about three weeks before John Lennon’s murder. It was conducted by a team of scientists from Livermore Weapons Lab, under the direction of Edward Teller, and became the scientific basis for President Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) program which was announced to the public two and a half years later.

• Lennon's accused killer, Mark David Chapman, was most likely framed for the murder. Mind control was used to convince him that he was the killer.

• A professional assassin, named Jose Joaquin Sanjenis Perdomo, was probably placed as a security guard (or doorman) at the Dakota, Lennon’s home, an upscale condominium complex in Manhattan.

• Perdomo had the following background: (a) often used the alias, Sanjenis, or Sam Jenis; (b) had been on the CIA’s payroll for ten years; (c) was a professional assassin; (d) founded a Cuban-based assassination squad called Operation 40; (e) was a commander in Brigade 2506 during the Bay of Pigs Invasion in 1961, a failed CIA operation to overthrow Fidel Castro; (f) worked closely with convicted Watergate burglar Frank Sturgis (deceased) during his about ten years on the CIA's payroll.

• An assassin posing as a security guard could have easily been supplied to Brown, Harris and Stevens (the company that manages the Dakota) by one of the large security firms, like WACKENHUT, for example, known for hiring former FBI and CIA agents, not to mention retired military personnel. (Note: Wackenhut is the security contractor at most nuclear weapons labs and facilities in the USA. Leuren Moret claims Wackenhut murdered anti-nuclear activist, Karen Silkwood.)

• Astucia asserts that Perdomo (or one of his aides) walked right behind John Lennon as he got out of his limousine on the night of Dec. 8, 1980, and shot him point blank through the heart two times (He was shot close to the heart, but not directly in the heart.). As Lennon ran away, Perdomo (or one of his aides) shot him two more times in the left shoulder, but death was caused by the two shots in the heart area.

Leuren Moret makes the following observations that are consistent with many aspects of Astucia's research:

• Never met or worked with Edward Teller, but saw him from a distance as an old man. He was very grandiose. Ms. Moret discussed Teller with other scientists, some of whom worked with Teller at Los Alamos on the Manhattan Project.

• The general consensus of Teller, among scientists, was he was a "total failure...gross, uncouth, absolutely disgusting person...nobody liked him," according to Ms. Moret.

• Indicated that Teller was not a true intellectual. He essentially stole other people's intellectual properties and took credit for them.

• Said Teller was not truly the creator of the Hydrogen Bomb. The mathematics behind the theory for the H-Bomb was done by Stansilaw Ulam who is considered by most scientists to be the true father of the H-Bomb.

• Says the nuclear weapons industry often murders people who cause problems. She cites Karen Silkwood as a prime example. She claims Silkwood was murdered by Wackenhut, the security contractor at most nuclear weapons labs and facilities in the USA.

• Says she was harassed a great deal by police and military types across the country because she up and left Livermore in disgust; however, she was less of a threat because she did not work on classified projects.

• Claims there was a lot of cancer at Livermore Labs.

• Stated that Livermore Nuclear Weapons Lab and Los Alamos are run by the University of California, and employees of both labs are employees of the University.

• Indicated that security at Livermore was extremely shoddy.

• Stated that there was a strong military presence at Livermore, but she never saw any officers in uniforms. She assumed a lot of the support came from the Navy. (Note: Astucia challenged her on this point, citing historical documents showing the Air Force was Livermore's main supporter.)
