The Writers
This is a list of some of the independent writers who investigated the death of the President. They were not part of the Project Mockingbird and were not promoting the official account as determined by powerful people in the government. This group had the highest mortality rate of any and which is probably due to their insatiable curiosity and persistent search for the truth. Quotes
