“Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Let me say at the outset that I share the sorrow that our nation is now experiencing in the wake of last night’s tragedy, and I too pray for the President’s family. As Director Slaughter said, I was asked to review the evidence of the FBI’s investigation of Ken Myers. When I did, I completely agreed with his decision to initiate that investigation, and let me say this: it takes a lot of courage for the Director of the FBI to say these things here today. I know this is a highly charged issue, politically and emotionally, but I believe that at this critical hour, our country needs clarity and straight talk from government officials, and that’s why we’re here today. So let’s start with what we know. Last night, tragically, our President was murdered by what appears to be a lone assailant, a man named Todd Keniston who regretfully was shot and killed resisting arrest. As we know, that’s not all that’s been happening in our world the past few days. Are they related? We don’t know, but what I’m about to suggest is as rational an explanation as any, in my opinion. When FBI Director Slaughter briefed us on his investigation we were shown the brain scan of Ken Myers and saw something disturbing. The scan showed that some type of microprocessor had been inserted into his brain, and high magnification revealed it was actually connected to nerve endings. That’s a remarkable piece of microsurgery, and yet there is no record in any hospital of such an important operation. We know of every hospital visit that Ken Myers had in his life, except one.
“When Ken Myers was Governor of Florida six years ago, he went on a trade mission to China, and spent nearly twenty hours unaccompanied in a hospital outside of Beijing. He basically told his aide to take the day off, and then went alone to some sort of medical facility for nearly an entire day. This visit was not on anyone’s itinerary. It was completely unscheduled, and strangely, he never spoke about it afterwards. Now, you can come to your own conclusions. I’m simply telling you the facts that we were able to verify.
“I want to make just one more point before we open it up for questions. Do you remember the unusual behavior of President Myers in Miami when all these bizarre things were going on around him? He wasn’t surprised by any of it. As a matter of fact he hardly raised an eyebrow. It seemed almost as if he was part of it. Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that logic forces us to consider the possibility, that what we saw in Amelia Earhart Park in Miami may have been an elaborate hoax. Now please bear with me here. What exactly did we see these past few nights? Well, to begin with, what we saw so dramatically in the sky wasn’t actually real. It was a projected image. What else did we see? We saw some type of craft land in Miami. What exactly it was, we don’t know. We have aircraft that can hover and pull away, not like what we saw last night, but who knows what breakthrough technologies might’ve been achieved in other parts of the world? What else did we see? We saw what appeared to be an alien creature, but how do we know if that wasn’t just a projected image as well? The truth is we don’t. We don’t know what secret programs that foreign governments could have developed. We know this: something this sophisticated would require billions of dollars of research, and levels of expertise that only a rich and powerful nation could provide. Let me be clear. I can’t prove that what we saw the past two nights in Miami was a hoax, but I can confidently say that nobody can prove it wasn’t. I want to be completely frank with everyone here. It’s the unexplained hospital stay in Beijing that troubles me the most. A hospital stay that Ken Myers never spoke about afterwards. It just doesn’t add up. I think what we saw in Miami the last few nights, and that hospital visit are in some way related. I can’t prove it. It’s just my gut feeling, and that’s basically all I have to say, so I guess it’s time for questions now.”
Knowing he’ll get the first question challenging his assertions, Paul Stuart walks away from the lectern. The immediate harangue of simultaneous questions forces spokesman Jim Thatcher to impose order.
“Ladies and gentlemen, one at a time, please,” he says, and pointing to a reporter in the front row, hushes the rest.
“Go ahead with your question, Sir.”
“This question is for the CIA director. What exactly are you saying, or implying here when you say this was all a hoax, and secondly, how do you explain what happened with Congressman Kearns? Doesn’t that disprove what you’re saying?”
“I don’t think so. It doesn’t disprove it at all. As far as the Congressman is concerned, I don’t have an answer for that.”
