Hugh Turley - Thomas Merton Betrayed - The case against Abbot James Fox and author John Howard Griffin
Hugh Turley returns to discuss more revelations concerning the assassination of Thomas Merton in 1968.
The secret assassination of Thomas Merton and its subsequent cover-up required planning. For over fifty years, the U.S. government and the leadership of Merton’s home abbey of Our Lady of Gethsemani were able to perpetuate a virtually transparent lie concerning his death. They were abetted, unfortunately, by the Catholic Church, the Catholic press, and Catholic academia, along with the press and scholarly world generally.
Thomas Merton’s Betrayers: The Case against Abbot James Fox and Author John Howard Griffin focuses upon that long-successful lie about the cause of Merton’s death in Thailand in 1968, that is, that he was electrocuted by a faulty fan. How did it become so widely accepted? It was not the official conclusion reached by the investigating authorities, the Thai police, who concluded that Merton had died of “heart failure,” although they did make mention of a fan that they said had a faulty wire installed and could have killed him had he not been dead already when he encountered it.
He tells Ed Opperman about the book and the events it catalogues and why, in many ways, Merton's killing was even more sinister than RFK and MLK, which happened in the same year.
