John F. Kennedy was assassinated by the National Security State on Nov 22nd, 1963. Every high school textbook in the country says the same thing, which is that Lee Harvey Oswald shot JFK from the Texas School Book Depository in broad daylight, with his wife as his side. This was 5 months after his famous Peace Speech at American University (6/10/63) and only a few days after he ordered remaining troops out of Vietnam (NSAM 263).
There was nothing suspicious about this, with the exception of Dallas Policeman JD Tippit being killed at approximately 1:12 PM, which was subsequently blamed on, and denied by, Oswald. Then Jack Ruby killed Oswald in front of the entire Dallas Police force, and the world (since it was televised live). The official inquiry, The Warren Commission, was unable to handle the ballistic evidence since there were at least 5 shots fired. In order to sell the Lone Nut scenario, they were forced to create the Magic Bullet, and the Single Bullet Theory. They hid the Zapgruder film for 11 years before a bootlegged copy was shown to the country. At that point, the cat was out of the bag but still the media and Ruling Class clung to the official story.
For the subsequent 50 years, the government and their media assets (Operation Mockingbird) denied the possibility of conspiracy at every turn, creating movies and TV shows to support the official orthodoxy. The book “Burying the Lead” by Mal Hyman covers the shameful history of media cover up.
It is surprising that the decade between the 50th and 60th anniversary seems to have turned the tide. The reasons are many, one being that they younger generation finds this history changing true crime fascinating and are not weighed down with the propaganda. More importantly, the quality of the professionals that have been working on this is difficult to ignore. Dr. Cyril Wecht, Jim DiEugenio, Dr Gary Aguilar, David Talbot, James Douglass…. are successful and well respected, among so many others with similar skills and contributions. Oliver Stone and Jim DiEugenio produced the definitive documentary Destiny Betrayed: Looking Through the Looking Glass, which was a huge success internationally, and was shown on Paramount Network to excellent reviews.
Ex secret service agent Paul Landis has come forward, saying that he found the magic bullet in the back of the limousine. Because he waited 50 years, it is hard to imagine why anyone would want to change the Single Bullet Theory, but Landis is being taken seriously by NYT and the establishment media in general. If Landis version is correct, it destroys the Single Bullet theory and thus proves a conspiracy, a conspiracy that has been proven one hundred times over. When reading about Landis, the fact that it destroys the Warren Commission conclusion and proves conspiracy is not emphasized, but it is true nonetheless. The NYT considered the possibility of conspiracy for the first time in 60 years in covering the Landis story.
Boston Globe journalist Jefferson Morley has been working on the CIA aspect for many years, including leading lawsuits to obtain the still suppressed documents, and to get documents on George Joannides and Bill Harvey. In addition, he runs JFK Facts on substack, and invaluable resource. David Talbot, author of “The Devil's Chessboard”, which points to Alan Dulles as the mastermind, is interviewed by Glen Greenwald, who says it is Talbot's book which caused him to take the conspiracy seriously. Rob Reiner and Soledad O’Brien discuss these issues in a 10 part podcast.
In 1992, Congress passed the JFK act, which authorized full release of the documents by October 26, 2017 , with very few exceptions. Although the act was never rescinded, Joe Biden took it upon himself to nullify the act, leaving millions of the most important documents hidden.
Books that have successfully challenged the Warren Commission findings have been written as early as 1967 (Rush to Judgment), with so many written since, based on the 1979 House Committee on Political Assassinations, the release of documents as a result of the 1993 JFK act, and with every release of information since then. Notable are Destiny Betrayed (Jim DiEugenio), JFK and the Unspeakable (James Douglas) and the The Devils Chessboard (David Talbot). Len Osanic has been interviewing people weekly about political assassinations at Black Op radio since 2000.
Len's video coverage of this can be viewed at 50 reasons for 50 years and is invaluable. If you need more, read 60 reasons for 60 years.
Now, authors James DiEugenio, Matt Crumpton, Paul Bleau, Andrew Iler, Mark Adamcyzk have written The JFK Assassination Chokeholds: That Prove There Was a Conspiracy. The approach taken by the contributors in this anthology, three of whom are attorneys complemented by two of the leading authorities in the field, focuses on sixty years of revelations that have been inescapably proven. There is no way around these matters, making them argumentative “chokeholds.” The authors point to 10 issues that can no longer be denied, although I would posit that there are far more than ten. In fact, they are not identical to the 10 points of agreement championed by John Judge at the 50th.
Why is it important?
Kennedy was sincerely working for peace, as he stated in June of 1963. He would never have fought the Vietnam War. But elements of the CIA, including Alan Dulles, William (Bill) Harvey, David Atlee Phillips, Ed Lansdale, E Howard Hunt, and others had a different plan. Their plan was to establish the American Empire. America has been at war for every year since the assassination, with very brief exceptions. When a peace dividend is possible (as it was for Clinton in 1994) the Military Industrial Complex takes over, creating another war supported by the weapons sales. America thus bankrupts itself, while in the process initiating proxy wars, and supporting genocide.
America is still unable to fully come to grips with it's history, but the facts are overwhelming and they are beginning to breakthrough. Since Mark Lane's book in 1967, there has never been a moment when more than 50% of Americans believed the Warren Commission. The National Security State killed Kennedy, preferring war for Empire to Peace. Facts resonate, and there is no longer any ability to maintain the propaganda that there was no conspiracy. Breakdown the Wall.
