James Forrestal was the Sec of Defense he was killed before he could tell the truth about things he found out... What did he find out..Well its the same thing that killed JFK, RFK, The whole JFK family, Marilyn Monroe, Philip Schneider and William Cooper and many others... Basically they learned we are NOT alone... Never EVER have been either... You be surprised what you can learn when you follow the grave stones... A little side note, James was also part of the MJ-12..One of the first..hmm The end of the video shows my hero, some one I look up to and fight for till the end...William Cooper...One of the GREATEST men to ever walk the Earth! I have so much respect and love for that man... RIP... May your death not be in vain.
