Kennedy's Last Stand: Eisenhower, UFOs, MJ-12 & JFK's Assassination

by Michael E. Salla

Just before beginning his first term on January 20, 1993, President-Elect Clinton made a very strange request to close family friend and lawyer Webster Hubbell: "If I put you over there in justice I want you to find the answer to two questions for me: One, who killed JFK. And two, are there UFOs." According to Hubbell, "Clinton was dead serious." The key to unlocking the mystery of President Kennedy's assassination and a possible UFO connection lie in events that occurred 18 years earlier in post-war Germany. In 1945 John F. Kennedy was a guest of Navy Secretary James Forrestal, where he personally witnessed technological secrets that have still not been disclosed to the world. These secrets stemmed from extraterrestrial technologies that Nazi Germany had acquired and were attempting to use in their weapons programs. In searching for answers to who killed President Kennedy we need to start with the death of his mentor, James Forrestal in 1949. Forrestal became the first Secretary of Defense in 1947, a position he held until March, 1949. Forrestal was a visionary who thought Americans had a right to know about the existence of extraterrestrial life and technologies. Forrestal was sacked by President Truman because he was revealing the truth to various officials, including Kennedy who was a Congressman at the time. Forrestal's ideals and vision inspired Kennedy, and laid the seed for what would happen 12 years later. After winning the 1960 Presidential election, Kennedy learned a shocking truth from President Eisenhower. The control group set up to run highly classified extraterrestrial technologies, the Majestic-12 Group, had become a rogue government agency. Eisenhower warned Kennedy that MJ-12 had to be reined in. It posed a direct threat to American liberties and democratic processes. Kennedy followed Eisenhower's advice, and set out to realize James Forrestal's vision. The same forces that orchestrated Forrestal's death, opposed Kennedy's efforts at every turn. When Kennedy was on the verge of succeeding, by forcing the CIA to share classified UFO information with other government agencies on November 12, 1963, he was assassinated ten days later. Kennedy's Last Stand is the story of how an American President tried to realize his friend and mentor's vision of a world where humanity openly knows about extraterrestrial life; and of the government officials responsible for denying that vision.

I'm am actually a believer! we can't know yet what the answer to the eternal questions. are: but somebody knows and I want to find out before I'm gone! I think I had two encounters. One at age 13-14 on the alligator alley with my parents. Checking out a bright star through the back window and lost time. Don't know if parents were aware of anything. Later: as adult coming awake from a dream, I felt myself falling down on to my bed and realized I must have been oob.. That's all I have

Finally...the truth

Straightforward answers to the biggest secrets of our lifetime. Rather than causing panic and distress, this info has quietly closed a chapter in my mind. I have always suspected this was the "way things really are", and now, the confirmation of these things I have read over the years, has actually given me a sense of peace. I can set the wondering aside, and accept that this is the reality of life here on Earth. Letting go and moving on with life!

Wow

It is very intense. In a way it's kind of scary how much power the CIA/Majestic 12 has over the president. It makes you wonder who else was killed and what other secrets are out there that hasn't been revealed yet.

[Annabelle · Rating 2 out of 5]

Salla has some interesting takes with legitimate supporting evidence. He also has some unsubstantiated takes with Wikipedia cited as the source. He should also hire a better editor; it's hard to take the good stuff seriously when there are grammar and spelling errors throughout.

Well Researched Believable

Salla does a fine job recounting the conspiracy to assassinate JFK. He cites documents and other evidence to support his thesis that President Kennedy was killed by MJ-12/CIA because he wanted to tell the American people and the world about the crashed UFOs and aliens, the so-called EBEs. A fine read.

Nonstop Read

This book was nonstop reading for me. It opens your eyes and mind to the possibilities of what happened in the Kennedy Assassination. Shall we ever really know? A Must Read

[Peers · Rating 5 out of 5]

Just picked this title on a whim. Opened up a rabbit hole that I didn't know existed. Too many interesting topics covered that need further investigation, but it seems the CIA is in control of this country and has been for many years. Worth reading!

[LeAnne · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is an interesting read. I don't know how much of it is true though. About the US government's involvement in seeing, finding, and investigating UFOs, particularly here in this country and the Top Secret departments created to gather that information....namely something called Majestic-12 pr MJ-12. This book purports that President John F. Kennedy was assassinated at the direction of MJ-12 because he was pushing to know about this group and to put control of the UFO information under the Office of the President. When JFK took office, former Pres. Eisenhower told him about what he had also learned about the secret, off the books group. When President, Eisenhower had threatened to send in the First Army to invade the location in NMex, but never did. MJ-12 under no circumstances was going to give up their total control. Since the Warren Commission only theorized who was responsible, it is anyone's guess. The book did include photocopies of official top secret documents confirming a planned assassination (actually using the word "assassination"), it's probably but still not absolutely confirmed. But since none of the other theories are certain either....who really knows?

[David Elkin · Rating 2 out of 5]

I actually stopped reading the book around 3/4 the way through. Too many outlandish claims, second hand references, dependant on other "tell all" deathbed confessions, and other authors to be believable. His research into JFK activities in 40's was good, and the death of Forestal interesting, but when he got to his claims about ET meetings and other unsupported evidence, I could not continue.

[Shaun McNamara · Rating 2 out of 5]

I didn’t even complete this book, after a few chapters it seemed that the author was making tenuous and unsupported links between various strands of history and UFO lore, with little or nothing in the way of supporting evidence. I don’t mind some good quality speculation, but this seemed like making the facts fit the story, in my opinion at least.

[Donna · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very interesting!

[Edward B · Rating 3 out of 5]

Plausible

As conspiracy theories go, this book casts a broad net. Yet, much authenticating information is provided that supports the claim it presents.

[Mike Hatfield · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good tale of alien mysteries.

Kennedy’s Last Stand

I recommend this book to anyone interested in the UFO arena. Book is well written and a great read,enjoyed it.

[Adam Scott · Rating 4 out of 5]

It’s a fun read. Suspend your expectations, and enjoy a well-researched angle on what was definitely a conspiracy (if it was mostly about UFOs, IDK - but great work by the author making the argument.

[Sy DeMaya · Rating 5 out of 5]

What an eye opener! It will take me awhile to digest the many implications of this body of research.

[Philip McClimon · Rating 5 out of 5]

For those who "want to believe"

A large part of the premise of this book seems to me to be conjecture built upon presupposition. For those wanting to believe, they will find the material credible and plausible. For skeptics like myself, it is still a big pill to swallow. That being said, it is a compelling read. I know the central truth of this book remains intact: There exists a "white" world that you and I live in and a "black" world, a state within a state, not answerable to the American people, nor even the President. This other "government" if you will is surely not by the people, of the people, and certainly not for the people.

[Nikhil Trivedi · Rating 5 out of 5]

An excellent story... if we consider it a fictitious work, the storyline and storytelling was too good... certain terminology used by the CIA and other secret services were never known earlier.... but still more evidences are required to believe the basic claims on ET existence and the basic reason for which JFK was claimed to be killed...
