LIFE ON THE RUN: Judyth Vary Baker and the Untimely Death of Martha Rose Crow
by Judyth Vary Baker and (the late) Martha Rose Crow (with Dr. James Fetzer)
Dr.James Fetzer wrote:
Martha Rose Crow, a social activist, poet and writer, was the closest friend of Judyth Vary Baker, the author of ME & LEE, which documents her relationship with Lee Harvey Oswald in New Orleans during the months prior to the assassination of JFK. Because of harassment and death threats since she began to speak out about their relationship , Judyth has lived life on the run ever since she began speaking out. Her dear friend, Martha, began receiving threats of her own soon after endorsing Judyth’s book.
She may have been murdered because of it.
About the same time Martha posted, “Judyth Vary Baker is my best friend!” on her multitude of blogs, “that’s when she started getting threats,” Judyth has told me. Mere hours after Martha complained that both she and Judyth had received “terrible death threats” and that she wasn’t feeling well, Martha collapsed for unknown reasons in a public market. She was not diagnosed with any heart attack symptoms during her brief hospitalization. Nevertheless, she died the same night due to a sudden and unexpected heart attack. She was in her early fifties, physically fit and in good health until she began complaining of feeing unwell just before her death.
THE BACKGROUND
It may be difficult to believe that someone like Martha might have been taken out because of her friendship with Judyth Vary Baker. We know, however, that Judyth’s story is one that the intelligence agencies of the United States’ government, especially the CIA but also the ONI and the FBI, do not want to become familiar to the public. Having invested so much time and effort to demonize Lee Oswald as “the lone, demented gunman,” Judyth’s story reveals that he was actually a sociable, intelligent and disciplined individual who appears to have had a long history of undercover operations with the government. He appears to have been recruited by the ONI, defected to the Soviet Union at the behest of the CIA, and served as an informant for the FBI.
Since I organized a research group consisting of the most highly-qualified individuals to ever investigate the death of JFK in 1992,[1] I have been fascinated to learn what Judyth has to tell us, which I find entirely credible. Our research, which has been published in three books and many articles, has exposed the use of fabricated evidence to frame Lee Oswald as the patsy and to create a false account of the causes of the death of our 35th president.[2]
MARTHA’S WEBSITE ENDORSEMENT
Perhaps the most important reason the intelligence community would be concerned about Martha is that her endorsement of Judyth’s book was strong and clear and forceful:
JUDYTH VARY BAKER IS MY BEST FRIEND!
HER WEBSITE IS HTTP://WWW.JUDYTHVARYBAKER.COM 
As Mistress to Lee Harvey Oswald, She Has A Great Story to Tell That Will Change History!
A few days before her death, Martha Rose Crow began writing an article about Judyth and Lee Harvey Oswald, which she intended to publish worldwide. It began this way:
He was twenty-three, she just nineteen when they first met in the romantic city of New Orleans. They soon fell in love. But there was one problem – he was on a mission to kill Castro, which would end with his involvement in the assassination of John F. Kennedy. .. Jim Marrs, whose book CROSSFIRE was a basis for Oliver Stone’s movie "JFK", wrote the afterword to Judyth’s book, Me & Lee. He wrote, “Can we ever learn the truth? Yes, by studying the wide array of information now available, thinking for ourselves, and listening to the impassioned, unflinching voice of Judyth Vary Baker.”
Martha ended the first part of her article by writing, “But Judyth, my best friend, has to live her life in exile.”[3]
Judyth Vary Baker: “I have to live in undisclosed locations. Why? Here’s an example: The History Channel, in their current Internet film “Kennedy Assassination Conspiracy Theorists” says I ‘claimed’ to have helped a top secret CIA team create AIDS! Now, who can walk safely down the street with that kind of lie hanging over them?”
Dr. James Fetzer:
(Regarding) this (History Channel) production[4] …take what you see there with a considerable grain of salt, since it is intended to discredit Judyth’s story, which is true, by surrounding it with unfounded theories and distorting Jim Garrison’s investigation, which would probably have resulted in a conviction but for the untimely deaths of key witnesses.
DR. FETZER THREATENED
At this point in the article, Martha Rose Crow had inserted “I want to talk about our death threats. Get me a copy of the Jim Fetzer Interview, to back us up.”
Dr. Fetzer had received his first death threat in over twenty years of exposing controversy and cover-up in the Kennedy assassination. The death threat arrived just after he created a blog for Judyth. Fetzer, when told of Martha’s death, said “The blog will stay up.”
Martha then wrote:
Baker says she regularly receives death threats. When Dr. James Fetzer interviewed her in February [2010] on “The Real Deal” in a rare, live session, Fetzer said,
" … one of the most convincing aspects of your life story in relation to with your association with Lee Oswald is the massive harassment to which you have been subjected. It’s been a veritable horror story."
JVB: "Yeah, it's been real fun."
JF: "’It’s been real fun!’ [laughing]. In fact, you've had to live in one country after another. Weird accidents and attempts have been made on your life. And I must tell you [that] to me, it was astonishing that, when I put up your blog, I received the first death threat I have ever received in about 20 years of doing research on JFK. It wasn't directly mentioning you but, I take it …"
JVB: "No, they wouldn't want to do that."
JF: "That would be too obvious, huh?"

THE HISTORY CHANNEL
In 2003 The History Channel aired a documentary about Judyth Vary Baker’s life story called “The Love Affair.” It was quickly banned along with the two other new documentaries in the popular series The Men Who Killed Kennedy. No less lights than Lyndon Johnson’s widow, two former presidents (Carter and Ford), Jack Valenti and Disney’s head honcho Eisner threatened lawsuits. However, the banned documentaries, including “The Love Affair,” are posted –and sometimes quickly removed --on YouTube.
Baker says she could have become wealthy simply by saying “Oswald did it.”
“But he was innocent,” she says, “and the world is finding that out, even though it means I lost my teaching career, my doctoral degree, and just about everything I had. There are people who hate me for speaking out.”
Two days after Martha and Judyth received death threats at the same time, and two days after she wrote these words in behalf of the woman she called her “best friend,” this beloved friend and mentor of thousands was dead.
But why did she die? The day of her death, Martha complained of symptoms that, in retrospect, resembled acute arsenic poisoning. She had mentioned drinking “jungle juice” that ‘tasted funny’ at a songfest several nights before, where there had been a large crowd. The second last day of her life, she wrote to Judyth that she drank some more “jungle juice” from the jug she was given, which she had brought home, complaining that she had abdominal pains and a headache.
The last day of her life, Martha complained to Judyth and several other friends by email of pain in one of her legs , in her belly, and that she had a fever.[5] She nevertheless went to an open market to shop for groceries, where she collapsed and was taken to a Dutch hospital. Though there for hours, nobody was informed. Records show she was treated for heart attack symptoms just before cardiac arrest. Then, before her family could stop it, Martha’s body was quickly cremated. Police opened a case, but with only ashes to analyze, nothing could be determined.
Martha’s last known words, written to her publisher, began with this chilling sentence: “Judyth and I are under harsh attack”:
Subject: Chapter 12 is going to be a couple days late
Date: Mon, 1 Mar 2010 07:07:40 -0800 (PST)
From: Martha Rose Crow
To: XXXXXXX
Judyth and I are under harsh attack. Our yahoo email accounts were hacked this weekend (mine longer than hers), her computer got hacked real bad last night (some people came over to help her and stayed up with her all night until it got fixed), she got a terrible death threat…[details of threat removed]….one of her big and famous supporters also got a terrible death threat, youtube took a video of her off minutes after it was posted and on and on...”
Martha had never previously received any death threats in Europe, where she had been living in exile for over eight years.
For Martha, the threats are now over. Thank God, she can rest in peace. We who knew and loved her will never forget her cheery “Hey!” -- her overwhelming kindness -- her dedication to peace, justice and truth. She was not afraid to do research into topics as varied as aliens, illegal torture by the US, and political ponerology.

Martha foresaw the economic crash and hard times across America and Europe; she reported on the early deaths of baby boomers, was concerned about FEMA camps, and deplored the torture of Iraqi prisoners. She educated people about Big Pharma and publicized problems with contaminated modern vaccines etc. long before they reached mainstream news. She was the enemy of darkness and evil. She died one year ago today.

[2] Some articles of interest: “Zapruder JFK Film impeached by Moorman JFK Polaroid,” “Another Attempted Reenactment of the Death of JFK” with David W. Mantik, M.D., Ph.D. , and re the infamous Oswald backyard photographs, disputed for decades, “The Dartmouth JFK-Photo Fiasco” with Jim Marrs, where we expose the irresponsible conduct of Hany Farid, a computer scientist at Dartmouth College, for his shoddy attempt to prove the photographs were authentic based upon the study of one feature of one of the photographs, when there are many other ways to prove the photos fake.
[3] At this point, Martha asked for a quotation from her friend Judyth. The quote shown here has been updated to reflect Judyth’s current situation.
[4] The History Channel states that Judyth says she helped a lab create AIDS—without consulting with Judyth or caring about the impact this false assertion would have on her reputation or how it could affect her safety. The piece is surrounded by absurd stories that help discredit her as well as Edward T. haslam and JimMarrs, whose books Dr.Mary’sMonkey and crossfire present important information about the Kennedy assassination.

[5]The fact that Martha ended up having a heart attack at the hospital also conforms to arsenic poisoning symptoms.
