Introduction:

1. This book still haunts me.
2. I feel in the 1960s that I have been taken for a fool.
3. Warren Report about the Kennedy assassination?
4. You can just shred it and use it in the kitty litter box.
5. Worthless.

 

Conclusion:

1. The assassination of JFK left an indelible mark on me.
2. I came home from school and heard on th TV as Walter Cronkite
3. announced, with tears in his eyes, that  JFK was dead.
4. The nation mourned, the world mourned.
5. Who killed JFK?
6. It is no secret now
7. …it was the CIA
8. …it was a coup d’etat.
9. Lee Harvey Oswald was only a product of a fake defector program run by CIA
10. …and groomed as a despensible scapegoat for the killing of a presdent.
11. The tapestry of President Kennedy’s killing is enormous.

 

1. This is an encyclopedic work that covers a vast amount of research.
2. While elements of organized crime and Cuban exiles were very likely
3. recruited to the ‘Big Event’ the plotters came from
4. the military – big business – CIA – FBI – Secret Service – LBJ
   
5. That is why the cover-up persists today.
6. The book also mentions several people who ‘died mysteriously’
7. shortly before and after the assassination.
8. This brought me to a book published in 2013
9. ….that has not gotten much
10. attention on non-fiction reading lists:

 

1. Hit List: An In-Depth Investigation into the
2. …Mysterious Deaths of Witnesses to the JFK Assassination.
3. Also Crossfire by Jim Marrs (1989)  and
4. Mary’s Mosaic: The CIA Conspiracy to Murder John F. Kennedy,
5. Mary Pinchot Meyer, and Their Vision for World Peace (2013).
6. #MustReads if you want to know more about 22 November 1963.

 

Last thoughts:

1. After fifty-six years, the official spin
2. remains of a  the lone nut assassin.
3. When will this lie finally be eradicated?
4. So devastating to read how so many people’s lives were ended
5. because they knew or saw too much.
6. The prostitute ‘Sharlee’ thrown out of bar the Silver Slipper.
7. She ends up in hospital 2 days before the assassination and
8. announces that Kennedy will be killed in Dallas!
9. She was killed in 1964.
10. A man’s life is ruined because  he gave Lee Harvey Oswald a lift while
11. …he was carrying a package of curtain rods
12. …a few days before 22 November 1963.
13. He told his story and ended up in a prison and mental institutions  for 11 years
14. …he was clearly not stable according the ‘powers that be.’

 

1. The US government consistently and intentionally
2. misrepresented and lied about what really took place
3. in Dallas on 22 November 1963.
4. You cannot deny it….US government is corrupt.
5. Like Rome before it ….America is indeed burning.
6. Now when I watch the US news
7. ….I think “what is REALLY going
8. ….on behind closed doors in The White House?“
9. President Donald Trump blocked the
10. …release of an unknown number of documents,
11. saying he had “no choice” but
12. to bow to national security concerns of the FBI and CIA.
13. The deadline for releases was on 26 April 2018.
14. Who knows what we will learn when the last 1% is released.
15. I hope I live to hear  the truth!
16. Essential reading for anyone with even a passing interest
17. in the assassination, and, of course, for every history major.
