  Speaker 1: What's up, everybody. Welcome to JFK Book Reviews, a division
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: of the Lone Gun and Podcast. I am one of
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: your hosts, Rob Clark, and along with me as always
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Joe Borelli, and today we're going to be reviewing the
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: book Matrix for Assassination by Oh, you wouldn't know it
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: by looking at the cover, Joe, but it is by
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Richard Gilbride.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: I thought JFK Conspiracy wrote it.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's a possibility too, but yeah, no, it's
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: written by Richard Gilbride.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And the book is comprised of three hundred and
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: ninety eight pages, and there's over three hundred pictures intertwined
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: between those three hundred ninety eight pages. There is a
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: bibliography section and also footnotes section that lasts twenty eight pages. Yep,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: there you go wrong. Doesn't have an index, but it
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: has a section called the Names at the end, which
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: kind of separates persons of interest in geographical area Dallas,
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: dw Orleans or Cia type of thing. And so the author,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Richard Gilbride, has written three books, JFK, Inside Job and
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: The Secret Murder of Brian Jones, who was a co
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: founder of the Rolling Stones band. But in terms of
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: this book, Matrix for Assassination JFK Conspiracy was published in
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: two thousand and nine by Trafford Publishing. Mister Gilbride was
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: a schoolboy in nineteen sixty three at the time of
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: President JFK's assassination, and he is a former chemist and
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: graphic designer who now operates a small business repair operates
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: a small home repair business in North Carolina. You can
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: get this book on kindle for nine to ninety nine.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: On paperback new from Amazon for about thirty three books
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: and used for about five books cheaper than that about
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: twenty seven dollars. And it's a wide ranging book and
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: it definitely rob has a conspiracy.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Lead to it. Yeah, it sure does, Joe. I mean,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: this book has about, I don't know, roughly fifteen chapters,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: and it starts off with the death of Marilyn Monroe.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: So that kind of tells you where we're going with
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: this book. And you know, it starts off with a
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: conspiracy within a conspiracy and doesn't stop from there. I mean,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: he gives and looks at Operation forty Mexico City, Harvey
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: and Lee, what was going on in the school with
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: depository Cia allegations, mafia allegations, connections between even you know,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Mary Pinchot Meyer, Cord Meyer, all the stuff UFOs, all
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: kinds of stuff. And I actually had the privilege of
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: interviewing and talking to Richard Gilbride on the show some
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: nine years ago, Joe, if you want to go back
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: and check those out, it's episodes eighty six, eighty seven,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: and eighty eight, and we talked all about his other
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: book at the time, JFK Inside Job, and then I
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: had him back on for episode one and two where
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: we kind of dove headfirst into the whole UFO alien conspiracy,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: the whole Fred Cristman thing and and all of that.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: So that's episodes eighty six, eighty seven, eighty eight, and
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: one oh two. If you'd like to go back in
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: the archives, folks either here on YouTube or at spreaker
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: wherever you know find audio podcasts will listen to go
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: back and check those out and see what he has
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: to say more in detail at the time that I
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: got this book, because of course, you know, if you
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: look the book up on Amazon, you can see when
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: you when you purchased it, and it tells you you
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: last purchase this item in July of twenty fourteen. And
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: so I've had this book for eleven years, and as
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: you can see, I've been through it quite quite a bit.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: You know, There's there's sections that I've highlighted. This is
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: what I do when when I find things that, you know,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: kind of make me go hmmm in a book, you know,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: I kind of bookmarked the page so I can I
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: can find it easily later. Some of the things that
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: I liked about this book is that it addresses so
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: many different theories with his own spin on it. For instance,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: you know, when you can talk about ballistics and he
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: can go into whether or not the manly r krcano
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: that was found on the sixth floor that day matches
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: the krkano that is at the archives now, and he
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: puts them, you know, one on top of the other
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: and shows you very clearly that something ain't right. The
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: scopes or different links, different heights. It's it's very weird.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: So there's lots of things that he points out that
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: are good facts to kind of contemplate, you know, Like
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: he says, there's you know, when we're talking about ballistics,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: we're talking about see three ninety nine for instance, that
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: there's six striation marks along that bullet. Right, we kind
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: of talked about recently on the show, how as a
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: bullet goes through the rifle it leaves these striations or
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: rifling marks as it travels through the barrel.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Well, according to gil Bride see three ninety nine, the
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: magic bullet has six triations, at least it did when
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: it was taken into evidence, you know, initially and then
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: later the bullet that the HSCA would look at or
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: be made available had only four, which is odd. I
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: don't know if you didn't turn the bullet enough to
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: see the other two, or what's going on here. But
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: you know, there there's stuff like that all through this book,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: and there's enough I would say what he would call
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: new information or new ways of looking at the evidence,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: which I can appreciate thinking outside the box, you know,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: when it comes to you know, things that we know,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: things that we think we know. I mean, even dives
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: into Mexico City and and the ledger that Oswald signed
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: at the hotel Hotel de Commercio in Mexico City, and
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Oswald wasn't signing his real name. And there's there's some
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: days where it looks like it definitely is not Oswald's
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: writing in the book.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: And it's just odd things that you know that that
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: that make you go hmm. But uh, you know, I
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: can say, Joe that.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: All in all.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: An intriguing book, is it worth thirty three dollars? I
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: would say no, get the kindle version. But again, if
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: you're a nerd that likes to hold books in your
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: hand and put them on your shelf and have them
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: to reference and stick notes in them, like me, then
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: spend the money. But Joe, give us your impressions of
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: the book and your rating, sir.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Okay. So you know, we did an episode a couple
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: months ago, episode three forty eight of the Long Gun podcast,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: where we explored the possibility that JFK was killed because
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: of his interest in UFO disclosure. And I think we
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: debunked a lot of that, and I think the UFO
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: research community, the ufologists stretch a lot of things in
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: this way. Now with Jak concerned about unidentified aerial phenomena
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: the UAP s as their call today, indeed he was,
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: but that was because he was worried the Russians might
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: mistake a UFO as an American aircraft and launched a
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: retaliatory strike of the United States. And I'm not a
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: huge fan of the you know, linking everything together type
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: of thing with Marilyn Monroe and you know, which is
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: debatable and the UFO issue with JFK, because I think it.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: It's somewhat delegitimizes a lot of the document researchers that
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: are out there and gives the low nutters and a
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: lot of the mainstream media people like, look, these guys
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: are crazy type of thing. But but there is really
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: interesting aspects to this book, and I think it might
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: be for the people kind of more getting into it
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: more compared to document researchers, maybe people interested in UFOs
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: that want to get into the JFK assassination. So and all, Rob,
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: I'm going to give this middle of the road five
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: point five gone up, how about.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: You, sir?
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: All right, yeah, I'm kind of with you there. As
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: the book opens with Marilyn Monroe and closes it with aliens,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: and you know, everything else is in between. And I
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: think at the time this book came out in two
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: thousand and nine, given the environment of the Kennedy research
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: community at the time, it was a good book with
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: lots of new nuances and insight into the available evidence.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: But with hindsight, looking back and if you know, just
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: going back to refresh my mind before doing this review,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: I'm seeing a lot of obsolete information. Information has been debunked,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: you know, like the Mackwalla's fingerprint and and things like
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: that that are in this book. And you know, I'm
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: not a fan of the everybody's involved conspiracy either. You know,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta nail it down for me, Bro,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: You can't just it wasn't the mafia, the c i A,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: and and aliens and the FBI and uh the military
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: and LBJ. It wasn't everybody, you know. And while he
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: examines the evidence in a new way, uh, he kind
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: of falls into the trap of trying to be on
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: the fringes of of research at the time and trying
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: to bring new things out. But you know, like I said,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: with with the element of time and introduce this thing,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: it doesn't hold up well. Therefore, Joe, I'm going to
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: give this book a four out of ten. Guns up,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: pom pom pom pound.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: All right, sir, fair enough, And if you enjoy this
• 12:36
