Although the November 22, 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy was surely one of the most famous events of the twentieth century, its sixtieth anniversary passed a few months ago with relatively little attention, probably overshadowed by the looming defeat of Ukraine in its war with Russia and also the enormous civilian casualties following...

It is hard for those who have not lived through the shattering political assassinations of the 1960s to grasp their significance for today. Many might assume that that was then and long before their time, so let’s move on to what we must deal with today. Let some old folks, the obsessive ones, live in...

The JFK Assassination Was Good for Zionist Israel
President John F. Kennedy was assassinated sixty years ago. If he had lived and won a second term, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict would have evolved differently. Possibly, the path toward Israeli apartheid and genocide in Gaza could have been avoided. In his short time in office, Kennedy significantly changed U.S. foreign policy. As documented in the...

Dick Russell’s recent biography, The Real RFK Jr.: Trials of a Truth Warrior, contains two chapters on RFK Jr.’s quest for truth on the assassinations of his father and uncle.[1] Here is an excerpt from chapter 28: He was approaching his midfifties when, in 2008, while preparing to give an environmental talk at the Franciscan...
Read MoreOn February 12, 2002 at a Pentagon news conference, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld was asked by Jim Miklaszewski, the NBC Pentagon correspondent, if he had any evidence that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and was supplying them to terrorists. Rumsfeld delivered a famous non-answer answer and said: When he was pressed by Jamie...

Suppose a consortium of powerful interests wanted to replace a president with someone who’s policies they preferred–and blame it on a patsy. What’s wrong with that? Or suppose the leaders of foreign nation orchestrated a terrorist act as a rationale for US forces to take out their enemies—at the expense of 3,000 Americans. What’s wrong...

What does “Kennedy” stand for?[1] Kennedy is the name of a crypt in the subconscious of each true American, or a ghost nagging the American conscience.[2] It was not just LSD that drove America’s youth mad after 1963. It was a sense of guilt, shame and disgust. “How can we let them get away with...
Read MoreMuch has been made of the September 9, 2023 simultaneous reports in The New York Times and Vanity Fair of the claims of a former Secret Service agent, Paul Landis, who was part of the security detail in Dallas, Texas when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963. Like so many reports...
Read More“It ain’t over til the alien wins,” Michelle Malkin wrote in 2002 of illegal immigration court cases. That truism applies not just to dangerous illegals who fight deportation today, but historically to notorious illegal-alien criminals such as late New Orleans mob boss Carlos Marcello, a prime target of U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy. Though...

Investigating the Sounds of Silence

Last week the New York Times ran a lengthy front-page hit-piece against Robert F. Kennedy Jr., scion of America's most famous political family and an underdog challenger to President Joseph Biden in the Democratic Primaries. Kennedy's unexpectedly strong campaign had recently stumbled when the novice candidate made some incautious remarks at a private dinner regarding...

I just did a two hour podcast interview with Patrick Casey, primarily focused on racial/ethnic issues, especially those related to the hidden aspects of Affirmative Action and the massive Jewish over-representation in elite institutions: Here are several of my articles most relevant to this discussion: Affirmative Action and the Jewish Elephant in the Room The...

Under the right circumstances, even an unsuccessful Presidential campaign can serve as a powerful lens for focusing public attention upon issues normally avoided by the mainstream media. I think that the success or failure of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s longshot Democratic Party primary challenge to President Joseph Biden should best be considered in such terms....

What would Sigmund Freud say?
To say that RFK Jr. goes out of his way to avoid offending Jews would be an understatement. He presents himself as the world’s biggest friend of the Jewish people in general and the Jewish (supremacist) state of Israel in particular. The first mainstream article that covered RFK’s presidential run with a positive spin was...

Recently, presidential candidate Bobby Kennedy Jr delivered an interview to Gateway Pundit where he called upon Joe Biden to follow through on the promise to declassify all reports relating to his uncle’s 1963 assassination which Biden himself had voted to support when the 1992 Kennedy Records Declassification Act was passed by Congress. RFK Jr was...

No wonder he lied so outrageously in our email correspondence
In early summer 1992 I caught the documentary film Manufacturing Consent when it opened in San Francisco’s Castro Theater. That film changed my life. It showcased Noam Chomsky, an accomplished linguistics professor, and his analysis of corporate media propaganda. Manufacturing Consent convinced me that the American academy could tolerate, and indeed celebrate, serious social criticism....

It has been fifty-five years since Senator Robert F. Kennedy stepped onto the presidential nominating stage to try to mend the massive breach that had opened in American society. The country was torn asunder by the Vietnam War, racism, poverty, the assassination of President Kennedy and the soon-to-be killing of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr....

Back in 1959 Vice President Richard Nixon visited Moscow and held his famous "Kitchen debate" with Soviet leader Nikita Khruschev. Nixon favorably compared the standard of living of American suburbanites to that of their Russian counterparts under Communism. Criticizing Soviet society was a serious crime in those days, but I doubt that the Russians ever...

I recently read Lenin’s Tomb, David Remnick’s Pulitzer Prize winning 1993 account of the decay and political collapse of the Soviet Union, and one of the crucial points he emphasized was that Soviet history contained many important "Blank Spots," deeply suppressed facts or incidents central to the true history of that unfortunate country. Just as...

The last few years have been a painful time for those of us old enough to remember the 1960s. Over my lifetime I watched my country decline by every measure of greatness. It’s been excruciating, slow and nearly imperceptible from day to day, like water torture. Who would have guessed, even ten years ago, that...

A few days ago, the UN Security Council held hearings on the accusations by Seymour Hersh that the Biden Administration had illegally destroyed Europe's $30 billion Nord Stream pipelines. Hersh is one of America's most renowned journalists and the previous week he had revealed the exact details of the attack, an obvious act of war...

A Review of DiEugenio’s “Foreign Policy Coup” Theory
I have watched Oliver Stone’s documentary on the assassination of JFK, both the short version, JFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass, and the long version in four episodes, JFK: Destiny Betrayed. I recommend the latter, which I will discuss here. Although the technical parts (the bullets, the autopsy, Oswald’s CIA handlers) are interesting and partly...

The 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy possibly ranks as the single most famous event of the twentieth century. For nearly sixty years, there have been widespread suspicions that he died at the hands of a conspiracy, as did his brother Robert a few years later. Although these "conspiracy theories" have been ignored or...

On December 15, the night that the Biden administration released some of the remaining JFK files while withholding others with another half-assed excuse, Tucker Carlson, the most-watched cable news television host, delivered a monologue about the JFK assassination. It garnered a great deal of attention. Although I don’t watch Carlson’s television show, I received messages...

In my younger years, Edward Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire was the byword for massive histories. I'd never read it myself nor even knew of anyone who had, but that famous six volume work from the 18th century was almost synonymous with exhaustive length, though its nearly 4,000 pages hardly seemed excessive...
