JFK Assassination Readers Guide To 2013-16 Events

Today’s 21st segment in the Justice Integrity Project's “JFK Assassination Readers Guide” reports on major events since the summer of 2013.

The listings begin with this fall's events about the 51st anniversary of the murder on Nov. 22, 1963 in Dallas. This fall marked also the 50th anniversary of the controversial 1964 Warren Commission finding that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in killing Kennedy and did so with three rifle shots fired from his position behind the presidential motorcade.

Major events this year have included two conferences in Dallas last weekend. One organized by JFK Lancer Productions and Publications featured best-selling author Jim Marrs and San Francisco attorney Bill Simpich, among others.

Simpich previewed his views in an OpEdNews column, How the Warren Commission Covered Up JFK's Murder, and sought also among attendees new ideas on how to win better government cooperation for the JFK research community.

A separate conference organized in part by the publishing house TrineDay and its author Judyth Baker included Marrs along with such other best-selling authors as Roger Stone and Dr. Jerome Corsi, as well as former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura, former U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-GA), and noted forensic pathologist Dr. Cyril H. Wecht.

Also, the Coalition on Political Assassinations (COPA) held a moment of silence at the site of JFK's killing in what may be COPA's final event following the sudden death last spring of its leader, John Judge. COPA does maintain an archival website.

Earlier in the fall, this editor assisted a conference Sept. 26-28 sponsored by the Assassination Archives and Research Center (AARC) in Bethesda, MD. We obtained C-SPAN coverage for the event's major revelations, summarized in The JFK Murder 'Cover-up' Still Matters -- As Does C-SPAN's Coverage.

The JFK Historical Group organized a separate conference on the same Sept. 26-28 dates, The Warren Report 50 Years Later: A Critical Examination, held in Alexandria, VA.

An appendix below lists significant recent news, opinion and video treatments of relevant JFK and Warren report issues. The listings of events and other materials are intended to include diverse viewpoints of Warren Commission critics and defenders.

In general, the major media continued to advocate the accuracy of findings by the seven-member Warren Commission led by Chief Justice Earl Warren.

University of Virginia professor and author Larry J. Sabato, for example, argued in Politico that no recent revelations have been significant.

Author and longtime Warren Commission defender Max Holland wrote a cover story for Newsweek, The Truth Behind JFK's Assassination, in which he conceded that the commission's treatment of the shooting was too skimpy. But Holland failed to find major flaws disturbing the commission's fundamental conclusions. 

By contrast, the vast majority of speakers at the AARC, TrineDay, JFK Lancer and JFK Historical events reported scandalous cover-ups of evidence by investigators, including the chief justice, fellow commissioner Allen Dulles, and various other CIA, Secret Service and FBI personnel, among others.

Many of the researchers claimed that plots included mob and Cuban exile plotters coordinated by the CIA and, according to some, by Vice President Lyndon Johnson and certain of his allies in the Texas-Wall Street oil, defense and financial sectors.

Also, many critics of the Warren and FBI reports have described Oswald as a likely CIA and FBI asset who may not have fired a shot, or who at most was part of a team of shooters.

Defenders of the Warren Commission include some authors and other researchers with detailed knowledge of the events. Thus, for example, researcher and JFK podcast host David Von Pein Nov. 27 broadcast JFK Assassination Debate: John McAdams vs. Roger Stone. 

McAdams is a Marquette University professor who curates a website defending the Warren Commission. Stone has been a consultant to eight GOP presidential campaigns and a staffer in the White Houses of Presidents Nixon and Reagan. Stone asserts in his latest book, Nixon's Secrets, that Johnson's clout as a Texas-based political leader was involved in murder-planning and a cover-up via the Warren Commission Johnson appointed upon assuming the presidency.

Stone, shown in a photo at right, alleges also that President Richard Nixon recognized a plot because of his deep and occasionally corrupt experience in government with the CIA, mob figures and the Cuban exile community, and that CIA resistance to Nixon was a factor in own presidency's demise during Watergate after Nixon tried to pressure the CIA.

McAdams continually rebutted Stone. Both men repeatedly cited evidence to support their contentions. Stone, for example, cites in his book a Justice Department memo showing that Nixon as a congressman hired Jack Rubenstein, aka, Ruby, some 15 years before Ruby killed Oswald in the Dallas police station in 1963.

To clarify such disagreements for the research community and rest of the public, the Justice Integrity Project is publishing this Readers Guide covering events, books, videos, and commentary.   

Among upcoming projects, our project is working with those of varied viewpoints who share common ground in establishing an effective, ongoing presence in Washington, DC for effective assassination-related public education. Many efforts in the past have been hindered by rivalries, suspicions, and financial and operational problems afflicting different groups. As a DC-based non-partisan, non-profit organization, the project is in a position to undertake both research and advocacy for credible positions.

This guide is a work in progress. New submissions and clarifications/corrections are welcome.

Justice Integrity Project Readers Guide To JFK Assassination

By Andrew Kreig, JIP Editor, CAPA Board member and Associate Editor and Board member of The Indicter

What follows are excerpts from our Project's so-far 38-previous segments of a "Readers Guide" to the assassination begun in 2013 to underscore both the 50th anniversary of the death and its continuing relevance, particularly slanted media, government, and academic treatment of the death that serves as a Rosetta Stone to similar slanted coverage sensitive matters extending through the decades to today's news.

The Justice Integrity Project cooperates with Citizens Against Political Assassinations (CAPA) and The Indicter, each of which investigates suspected political assassinations around the world. The Project's most recent previous column on these topics for the Readers Guide was JFK Birthday Prompts Inspiration, Art, Advocacy, Snark on June 2, 2017, with this beginning. "The 100th birthday anniversary of President John F. Kennedy on May 29 prompted many memorials about the late president's enduring popularity, the continuing controversies over his murder, and at least one prominent display of mockery of the late president by a big newspaper."

In the Readers Guide below, a red asterisk (*) denotes major articles in the series. Other articles may be regarded as more routine or duplicative treatments sometimes covering specific events.

At right is a photo by this editor in Dallas showing Dealey Plaza. The Texas Book Depository Building where accused assassin Lee Harvey Oswald worked is behind the row of trees. The car in the center lane is near the location of President Kennedy's limo at the time of his fatal shooting. The "X" mark is repeatedly painted on the street by author and photographic expert Robert Groden as reminder of the horrific crime that Dallas authorities seek to expunge by removing the X.

Selected JFK Assassination Memorials, Protests, Other Events

2016

April

Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Fort Worth Opera to host five-event JFK symposium, Punch Shaw, Oct. 14, 2015. Discussions precede ‘JFK’ opera premiere. Before audiences see its new work, Fort Worth Opera wants to provide a little context. “We want the opera company to be seen as going forward as a community resource for conversation and dialogue and not just a place where you come to hear pretty music — or, sometimes, disturbing music,” said Darren Woods, general director of Fort Worth Opera, explaining the motivation behind the company’s five-part symposium, “JFK: 5 Decades of Progress.” The series will present panels of experts discussing events and issues of the 1960s in anticipation of JFK, the opera commissioned by Fort Worth Opera and New York’s American Lyric Theater, which will have its world premiere at Bass Hall on April 23, 2016. The recently completed work, which features music by David T. Little and a libretto by Royce Vavrek, focuses on the last night of President Kennedy’s life, which was spent in Fort Worth. The first of the five events, “Space Race: Advances in U.S. Science and Transportation Technology,” will be presented on the University of Texas at Arlington campus Thursday. The series, which will offer events in Fort Worth, Arlington and Dallas, concludes with a session devoted to the arts March 24. Most will feature three panelists and a moderator.

October

The first Annual Oswald Conference will be in New Orleans at the Crown Plaza Hotel (airport) Oct. 16-18. This conference was created by popular demand of the people of New Orleans and is sponsored by The JFK Historical Group, which last year presented evidence in Washington, DC, of corruption in the Warren Commission. Judyth Vary Baker, who knew Lee Harvey Oswald, who the Commission claimed killed President Kennedy, says "Lee Oswald is New Orleans' native son. Thanks to the books Me & Lee and Dr. Mary's Monkey, support has grown to the point that it could no longer be ignored." The conference begins each day at 9 AM and continues until 11 PM. A birthday party for Lee (he would have been 76) will be held on Oct. 18. "It's a political statement," Baker says. "By holding this birthday party, we are showing how Lee would have been treated if he had not been made into a Patsy." Details.

November

JFK Lancer Productions and Publications, Dallas, TX. JFK Lancer will hold a conference on the assassination and Warren Commission report from Nov. 20-21 in Dallas, TX. Jim DeEugenio will be Program Chairman. Other leaders are Larry Hancock and JFK Lancer President Debra Conway. Details. JFK Lancer (named for the JFK's Secret Service code name "Lancer") is a historical research company specializing in the administration and assassination of President John F. Kennedy. It was founded in 1995 by Thomas A. Jones and Debra J. Conway. Its description: "JFK Lancer works with the largest and most active group of President John F. Kennedy historical researchers. Our past conferences have hosted many of the eyewitnesses of the assassination and the most respected of authors and researchers from around the world. We subscribe to the values of patriotism, excellence, integrity and dedication to the revealing of truth surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Our goal is to make research materials concerning Kennedy's assassination easily available to everyone. Our prime concern is the accuracy of history and the true story of the turbulent 1960s."

The third Annual JFK Assassination Conference will be in Dallas at the Crown Plaza Hotel, three blocks from Dealey Plaza, Nov. 20-22, 2015. "New witnesses and highly respected researchers will be presenting the truth about the Kenned assassination," says founder Judyth Vary Baker, who knew Lee Harvey Oswald and has been fighting for his exoneration. "At this conference, we do not debate whether Oswald killed Kennedy. Every speaker knows that Lee was a patsy, just as he said. Instead, we look at who had the means, the motives and the opportunity not only to kill Kennedy, but to direct the media for over 50 years to cover it up. The people have always resisted the lie that Oswald shot Kennedy. At this conference, they'll get the truth." Details.

Reopen Kennedy Case  is a 2015 conference Nov. 21-22 at the Mercure in Melbourne. Australia. A major organizer is Greg Parker, author of Lee Harvey Oswald's Cold War: Why the Kennedy Assassination Should Be Reinvestigated. He describes the mission of the conference and a related web forum of the same name as follows: "To have the Kennedy assassination reopened by developing new leads and evidence, re-examination of old leads and evidence, the development and encouragement of new ideas and the innovative use of social media. Along the way, we will take this mission seriously -- not ourselves." For details, visit website or email rokcevents (at) reopenkennedycase.org.

"Never before has a conference of this size and importance been free to the public,” said Judyth Baker, author of the book Me & Lee, and one of the conference’s  producers. “But this one is! That’s because hundreds of Facebook supporters are backing it. These supporters have been inspired by all the new evidence and witnesses who have come forth since the Warren Commission’s 1964 report. They know the report is obsolete, and that people need to know that Lee Harvey Oswald was a patsy, just as he said he was.”

2013

Remembering the assassination of President John F. Kennedy with two men who were there – Secret Service Agent Clint Hill and journalist Bob Schieffer, Newseum. Washington, DC, Nov. 20, 2013.

JFK Lancer Productions and Publications, Adolphus Hotel, Dallas, TX, Nov. 21-24, 2013. "Lancer" was John F. Kennedy's Secret Service Code name. Use of this formerly secret name represents JFK Lancer's efforts to make John F. Kennedy's assassination information available to everyone. JFK Lancer is a historical research company specializing in the administration and assassination of President John F. Kennedy. It was founded in 1995 by Thomas A. Jones and Debra J. Conway. JFK Lancer subscribes to the values of patriotism, excellence, integrity and dedication to the revealing of truth surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The goal of JFK Lancer is to make research materials concerning President John F. Kennedy's assassination easily available. Its prime concern is the accuracy of history and the true story of the turbulent 1960s. It believes these basic facts in the assassination of President Kennedy and the wounding of Governor John Connally:

•         There was more than one shooter
•         There has not been a true or complete investigation of this crime by our government
•         Intelligence agencies did not give those investigatory bodies the information they should have the assassination case is still open and research should be ongoing.

Coalition on Political Assassinations (COPA), Dallas, TX, Nov. 22-24, 2013. COPA's 20th annual conference in Dallas marks the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President Kennedy and the 45th anniversaries of the murders of Robert F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King. The theme is: “50 Years is Enough! Free the Files – Find the Truth.” Featured are the leading researchers, authors, ballistics, forensic and medical experts who have worked on these cases over the last five decades and the best documentary films. We plan to hold our Moment of Silence on the Grassy Knoll at 12:30 pm on November 22. Among the confirmed speakers: Dr. Cyril H. Wecht, JD, MD (COPA's founding president), Walt Brown, Peter Dale Scott, former Gov.

Organizers included John Judge and Robert Morrow.

Oswald Innocence Campaign, Santa Barbara, CA, Nov. 22, 2013. Campaign Chairman: Dr. James Fetzer. Members' Statement: We, the members of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, maintain that at the time of President Kennedy's assassination, Lee Harvey Oswald was standing in the doorway of the Texas School Book Depository, where he was photographed by James "Ike" Altgens, which is clearly evident upon close examination of the photograph. This discovery categorically exonerates Oswald from having shot the President. We call upon the media to renounce the official story that impugns him -- including the "Magic Bullet" theory, which is a conspiratorial fabrication -- and we demand that the American government cease obstructing justice by promoting a gross falsehood, based on lies, which has allowed the true killers to remain free, unindicted, and unpunished."

JFK Assassination and Warren Commission Investigation

OpEdNews, How the Warren Commission Covered Up JFK's Murder, Bill Simpich (shown in photo), Nov. 19, 2014. This year marks 50 years after the creation of the Warren Report -- an evaluation of the murder of President John Kennedy that devolved into a cover-up. Not everyone was a conscious participant, but some of the Commission and staff members knew they were burying evidence that would exonerate the accused assassin Lee Oswald. Since Oswald consistently declared that he was innocent, it's just not right to proclaim his guilt based on evidence that actually indicates that he was framed. The best way to address such a disaster is with a compelling presentation showing not only reasonable doubt of Oswald's guilt, but that there was never enough evidence for any case against Oswald to go to a jury.

What we need is a citizens' body with subpoena power that can address this outrage and other contested events.

A quick rebuttal of the Warren Report can be done even though we don't have a couple of crucial tools that would make the task much easier. One is to cross-examine the Warren Commission witnesses with first-hand information, which has been described as the greatest engine for uncovering the truth. The other is to work with government-funded defense experts to challenge the Warren Commission experts, who were widely lauded as the leading lights in the land. The approach will be to use the Commission's own evidence to rebut its own findings.

In reviewing the evidence, consider that FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover told Attorney General Bobby Kennedy that Oswald was the shooter by 4 pm that day. After that point, the die was cast. What happened in those first hours? We'll analyze here the actions on the ground by certain members of the Secret Service and the Dallas police. The role of members of the intelligence agencies and others will be for another day. Here are the top ten arguments of the Warren Commission, as spelled out by their attorney David Belin in the conclusion of his book You Are The Jury.

David Von Pein's JFK Channel, JFK Assassination Debate: John McAdams vs. Roger Stone, Nov. 27, 2014 (recorded Nov. 21). Roger Stone, a veteran of eight national GOP presidential campaigns and the author of the best-seller The Man Who Killed Kennedy: The Case Against LBJ, debates on radio Marquette University Assistant Professor John McAdams, a defender of the Warren Commission. JFK Assassination researcher David Von Pein moderates the differing views between Stone and McAdams, who curates a website defending the commission's view that Lee Harvey Oswald killed Kennedy and acted alone.

Politico, The Never-Ending Replay of November 22, 1963, Will we ever stop reliving the Kennedy assassination? Larry J. Sabato, Nov. 21, 2014. A year ago this week, no one could escape the wall-to-wall coverage of the Kennedy assassination’s 50th anniversary. One effect of the previous November’s concentrated focus on JFK is that people have come forward with new information. None of it, at least that I’ve seen, dramatically re-writes the story of the assassination, but useful details have been added. Larry J. Sabato, at left, is Director of the Center for Politics and University Professor of Politics at the University of Virginia. His most recent book is The Kennedy Half-Century.

Boston Globe, Answers sought on CIA role in ‘78 JFK probe; Investigators say files could prove interference, Bryan Bender, Oct. 15, 2014. It was nearly four decades ago that Eddie Lopez was hired by a congressional committee to reinvestigate the 1963 murder of President John F. Kennedy, a role that had him digging through top secret documents at the CIA. In the end, the House Select Committee on Assassinations reported in 1978 that it believed the assassination was probably the result of a conspiracy, although it couldn’t prove that, and its conclusions are disputed by many researchers. But now Lopez is seeking answers to a lingering question: Could still-classified records reveal, as he and some of his fellow investigators have long alleged, that the CIA interfered with the congressional investigation and placed the committee staff under surveillance?

Newsweek, The Truth Behind JFK's Assassination, Max Holland (shown in photo), editor of "Washington Decoded." Nov. 20, 2014. On November 29, 1963, President Lyndon Johnson directed the Warren Commission to “evaluate all the facts” in the brutal November 22 murder of his predecessor, John F. Kennedy, on a downtown Dallas street in broad daylight. Reduced to its bare essentials, the investigation sought answers to three fundamental questions: Who, why and how? “Why” was entirely contingent on “who,” and that depended on “how.” Thus, the linchpin of the Warren Report—and every subsequent investigation—has always been precisely how Kennedy was assassinated in Dealey Plaza. That is the finding from which all the important answers flow; mishandle that question and the credibility of the entire report is undermined. The Warren Commission’s bungling of “how” is a primary reason why there have been so many residual doubts and conspiracy theories over the past 50 years. In the 1964 Warren Report, just seven pages (of 888) reconstruct the shooting sequence. Three spent cartridges were found in the sniper’s nest on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository, corroborating the testimony of most ear- and eyewitnesses that three shots were fired. But after 10 months of investigation, the report did not present a compelling explanation of the sequence; instead it offered up three slightly different scenarios. In each, one of the bullets fired by Lee Harvey Oswald fatally hit Kennedy in the head; another struck and passed through the president before hitting Texas Governor John Connally; and the third shot fired by Oswald…well, the commission could not say where that bullet went or even when it was fired. Depending on which of the three scenarios one favored, the total time span of the assassination ranged from as little as 4.8 seconds “to in excess of 7 seconds.”

JFKcountercoup, COPA's Last Stand: Dealey Plaza, Bill Kelly, Nov. 15, 2014. The place is sacred, a pivotal crossroads where an X marks the spot in the middle of Elm Street where a man’s head was blown apart by a sniper’s bullet in an ambush at precisely 12:30 pm on Friday, November 22, 1963. This is the place, the exact spot where John F. Kennedy met his fate, his rendezvous with death, where tourists visit and pilgrims flock, sometimes in droves, other times late at night when nobody else is around, but especially shortly after noon every November 22nd, when there is always a witness who returns, someone who was there and is drawn back to the spot like a magnet. To revisit the theater, to remember the moment when JFK’s life went dark.

After last year’s debacle, when the City of Dallas took over the Grassy Knoll, locked out the public and kept John Judge and Coalition on Political Assassinations (COPA) members from holding a moment of silence, this November 22nd is the 50th anniversary of when Penn Jones held the first moment of silence at the scene of the crime in 1964. Now it’s our turn, since John Judge, as he tried to do every year, obtained a city permit for COPA to be at Dealey Plaza, and was hell bent to be there and hold a solemn and respectful memorial service that would be open to all and done with dignity, honor, respect and the truth be told, as Judge always said that this was a time to “speak truth to power.” A true coalition, by definition, is established by a number of focus groups with different interests but a common goal, and we may all have different opinions as to who killed JFK and how they did it, but we all agree that the government files on the assassination should be open.

When the AARC and CTKA withdrew from COPA they left John Judge its director, and rather than fold, as they expected, Judge pretty much kept COPA together by himself, organizing the regional conferences in Dallas, Memphis and Los Angeles almost every year, and spearheading the establishment of the Hidden History Museum, all with the assistance of a few, select patrons – Dr. Wecht, Gene Case, Bob Danello, Frank Caplett and others who generously donated money to COPA – a not-for-profit but not tax-exempt organization. As usual, there are two separate and competing conferences in Dallas this November – one by Debra Conway and Lancer and the other by a Facebook group led by Judyth Vary Baker. COPA has the permit for the Dealey Plaza event at 12:30 and it will be led by longtime Regional Dallas COPA members Robert Groden, Frank Caplett and Tom Blackwell, and be filmed by Randy Benson. Other COPA members may also attend from out of town.

Newsmax, Mafia Hit Man Confesses to Killing President Kennedy, Jim Meyers, Nov. 20, 2014. Mafia hit man James Files, shown in a prison photo, says in interviews first aired nationally on Newsmax TV Thursday night that he worked along with major mob figures and fired the shot that killed Kennedy from the grassy knoll at Dealey Plaza in Dallas. Friday, Nov. 22 marks the 51st anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's tragic assassination and Newsmax TV marked the occasion by airing the provocative premiere of the blockbuster documentary "I Killed JFK", featuring never-before-seen footage of Kennedy's confessed killer.

The documentary, produced by Hollywood’s Barry Katz, presents convincing forensic evidence supporting Files' contention that he, and not Lee Harvey Oswald, fired the fatal shot at America's 35th president. "I squeezed off my round. I hit him and blew his head backward," Files said of the single shot he fired that fateful day. "I Killed JFK" Executive Producer Barry Katz said: "Until now, no one has ever confessed to the murder of JFK, and most people still believe that Lee Harvey Oswald was the killer. After the world sees this special, I am confident that the greatest mystery of our generation will finally be solved."

Files, who changed his name from Jimmy Sutton, was born in Alabama in 1942, and after a stint in the Army became associated with both the Chicago mob and the CIA. He worked under mobster Charles "Chuckie" Nicoletti, an underling of mob boss Sam Giancana. Giancana and other mobsters had been angered by the president’s brother, Robert, who as U.S. attorney general was targeting organized crime in a major prosecution effort. Retired FBI Special Agent Zack Shelton appears in the documentary and reveals that he provided inside information to private investigator and Kennedy assassination investigator Joe West about Files possible connection to the Kennedy killing. Files is currently incarcerated at the Danville Correctional Center in Danville, Ill. He was convicted of the attempted murder of two police officers during a roadside shootout in 1991 and sentenced to 50 years in prison. The documentary chronicles how Files, along with Nicoletti and mobster Johnny Roselli, came to be in Dallas on the day Kennedy was assassinated. "I was aiming at his right eye. When I pulled the trigger it was almost like looking from six feet away through the scope. "I never saw Mr. Nicoletti shoot Kennedy but I know he was the man in the building who was supposed to be doing the shooting.  Shelton is one of two former FBI agents who believe Files' story is credible. He said: "I have tried to verify Files' story. A lot of that story I have been able to verify," including that a shot was fired from the grassy knoll "exactly where Files said he was standing." Editor's Note: The Files account that he shot from behind the picket fence at Dealey Plaza is disputed by some significant researchers who otherwise believe both the Mafia and CIA were involved in the assassination. At least one shooter was located behind the fence, according to many researchers. The question remains whether it was Files.

JFK Facts.org, Who was responsible for the wrongful death of JFK? Jeff Morley, Nov. 19, 2014. Lee Oswald remains the single most plausible candidate for assassin but the forensic case against him, never strong in criminal defense terms, has only grown weaker over the years, while the possibility that he was manipulated or framed has grown. The case against President Lyndon Johnson, while popular on the Internet, is contrived and conjectural, relying heavily on a witness who has changed her story often. The case against Fidel Castro, still touted by CIA sources, is weaker yet. Like the agency’s interference in the 2014 Senate Intelligence Committee torture investigation, the CIA interference in the 1978 House Committee on Assassinations has made the case for CIA complicity stronger. That said, there is no proof that any specific CIA officers were involved in manipulating or framing Oswald or otherwise enabling JFK’s murder.

JFK Countercoup, The Air Force One Radio Tapes Update -- The Story Thus Far, Bill Kelly, Oct. 1, 2014.This was a presentation on the Air Force One radio transmission tapes from Nov. 22, 1963 at the Assassination Archives and Research Center (AARC) conference in Washington D.C. When President Kennedy was originally invited to Dallas, LBJ had arranged for him to receive an honorary degree from Texas Christian University (TCU). However, after it was announced, the TCU trustees rescind the invitation, much to the embarrassment of LBJ and the city of Dallas, whose civic leaders invited the President to address their previously scheduled meeting that was to honor those who founded the Graduate Research Center of the Southwest, whose director was Arthur Collins of Collins Radio. If you read Kennedy’s "Undelivered Speech," his copy now stained with his blood, his remarks are clearly aimed towards the people who run these defense industries, and he mentions Collins’ graduate research center in the opening paragraph of his remarks. One of the first things Kennedy did as President was to order the recording of all radio communications made from Air Force One when it was in the air as well as the ability to record his telephone calls and Oval Office conversations, recordings he said he would later use when it came time to write his memoirs.

Jerome Corsi, Who Really Killed John F. Kennedy?  New Research into the JFK Assassination reports on the most important new research investigating the JFK assassination. After publishing in 2013 his bestselling book Who Really Killed Kennedy: 50 Years Later - Stunning New Revelations About the JFK Assassination, Jerome R. Corsi, Ph.D. believes investigations into the JFK Assassination are close to establishing irrefutable evidence documenting the JFK assassination a government-organized coup d’état, not the act of a lone-gun assassin. By summarizing the most current cutting-edge research on the JFK assassination, Who Really Killed John F. Kennedy? – New Research Into the JFK Assassination sets the stage for 2017, twenty-five years after the passage of the JFK Records Act, when the National Archives is scheduled to release the final, yet classified government documents on the JFK assassination. This will hopefully include over 1,000 documents the CIA still withholds from the public on national security grounds. Dr. Corsi fully expects the final true history of the JFK assassination will expose to the American public the history of CIA lies and disinformation that have distorted U.S. history since World War II, in favor of a series of international conflicts and wars favored by the military -industrial complex that JFK lost his life trying to prevent.

OpEdNews, CIA and the National Archives Thwart The JFK Act and Obstruct Democratic Accountability, Jim Lesar, Sept. 16, 2014. All records related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy ("JFK") are already supposed to be public. That's what Congress intended when it unanimously passed the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992 ("JFK Act"). It hasn't happened. The National Archives and the CIA are still withholding thousands of pages of JFK Act records in their entirety, even though it has been more than a half century since the Warren Commission issued its Report on the murder of the President. NARA's actions violate the law and its intent, and severely erode the principle of democratic accountability, on which America's government is based. This violation directly raises the issue of who writes the law, who rules in the United States: the elected representatives of the people in Congress or the intelligence agencies? Over 1,100 CIA files dealing with the John F. Kennedy assassination remain classified in apparent defiance of the JFK Records Act, which requires them to be speedily reviewed and made public.

AlterNet, Dear Mr. President, It's Time to Obey the Law: Release the JFK Secret Service Records and End Other Needless Secrecy, Thom Hartmann and Lamar Waldron (shown in photo), Sept. 25, 2014. It's time for the Secret Service, CIA, and FBI to obey the law by releasing their 50-year old files, and to pardon the first Secret Service whistleblower. Last week's problems with the Secret Service and White House security also warrant your attention. Secrecy is especially ironic since this week marks the 50th anniversary of the release of the Warren Report, the book-length finding issued by the Warren Commission, appointed by President Lyndon Johnson and chaired by Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren. The Secret Service was one of several government agencies--along with the CIA, the FBI, and the Office of Naval Intelligence--that were found by later government committees to have withheld crucial information from the Warren Commission. Congress passed the 1992 JFK Records Act unanimously, to release all of the files related to the JFK assassination, including records about the covert US operations against Cuba in the early 1960s that surfaced in so many of the official JFK investigations. While more than 4 million pages were released, even today the National Archives refuses to say how many pages of files remain secret. Is it 50,000 pages, a figure put forth by some experts? 90,000 pages, a figure extrapolated from CIA fillings in a Freedom of Information lawsuit? Or the figure reported by NBC News in 1998 of "millions" of pages, which was confirmed by a report from OMB Watch, which quoted someone who worked with the National Archives as saying "well over a million CIA records"--not pages, but "records"--remained unreleased.

Daily Caller, Nixon Operative Confronts Watergate Rat John Dean: You Ordered The Break-In! Patrick Howley, Oct. 25, 2014. Former Richard Nixon operative Roger Stone confronted Watergate figure John Dean at the Texas Book Festival in Austin Saturday, prompting a fiery back-and-forth and mutual threats to see each other in court. Dean, who was involved in the Watergate cover-up as White House counsel before providing the testimony that put the nail in Nixon’s coffin, appeared at a forum to promote his book “The Nixon Defense: What He Knew and When He Knew It.” Stone, author of the more favorable-to-Nixon book Nixon’s Secrets, accused Dean of ordering the Watergate break-in and pulling Nixon into the cover-up, a charge that Dean denied. Dean unsuccessfully fought behind-the-scenes to prevent Texas A&M associate professor Luke Nichter from appearing on the panel. Nichter, who earned legal threats from Dean after publishing audio recordings purporting to reveal new details about Dean’s involvement in Watergate. Nichter co-authored the 2014 book “The Nixon Tapes” with historian Douglas Brinkley.

Stone Zone, At Least Twelve Questions John Dean Doesn't Want To Answer, Roger Stone, Oct. 25, 2014. In your new book, The Nixon Defense, you largely omit your own role in Watergate saying those who want to understand what you did should read your book Blind Ambition. Yet when confronted under oath about discrepancies between your sworn testimony and that book you said you didn't write Blind Ambition, blaming it on ghost writer Taylor Branch and later on your editor Alice Mayhew both of whom denied it. In fact you said you never even read Blind Ambition before it was published.
