I read this book recently, and it wasnt what the title suggests; its all about how the cia orchistrated the term in order to obviscate the jfk assassination.

Fair lol Its called ‘Conspirosy Theory in America’ by Lance DeHaven-smith

Ah. I find it is much more helpful to give things like title and author rather than a link because there are many profound reasons to distrust links. Although you and I know one another from a different context, many who read these comments won't. And they can copy and paste title and author and find out what it is you are on about, as I did just now. The book carries a publication date of 2013 and a paperback edition comes out in 2014. It isn't the earliest examination of this same view, as the 1967 document that the cia circulated to suggest various demeaning attacks on any evidence presented contrary to their fiendish report on the murder, Concerning Criticism of the Warren Report" (CS No. 1035-960) included various methods of dismissing critics as wedded to their own theories.

Thank you for your thoughtful contribution to the discussion. I've not read DeHaven-Smith's book.

Matthew 22:36-40. One of my favorite set of verses. I don't think we will ever get the whole story on President Kennedy's death but we all know they lied.

Great piece Jim! Thanks! I have long said we will never "know" all the details of Kennedy's assignation as too much evidence is withheld or suppressed. It doesn't take much looking or knowledge to know the government's story is NOT what happened. That is the real known. As I have told more than a few; buy a Carcano Carbine, spend some range time, then go to that window and look at the alleged shot. Then look from that window at the shot not taken. Once you add that to the film, the wound openings, the perfect bullet that bounced around magically. It is actually insulting to humanity that the story sold.

It was sold in part by murdering journalists like Dorothy Kilgallen who wanted to share the truth. But, yes, it is a rather dismal set of lies. There are several places in America where you can see roughly the same distance to mock-ups of the limo and the targets run by gun enthusiasts who have a number of Carcano rifles and that little optic (Tasco? iirc) sighted in and zeroed, etc. There was a guy in Kentucky who could cycle the bolt on the rifle fast enough to get off the requisite shots, but couldn't hit anything at that rate of fire. Others who were able to make a difficult shot onto the targets but not in the requisite time. It is a mess of a story published by evil men who hated humanity and most of whom are now gone from this earthly realm.
