Decoding Dallas: JFK's head wounds....
Anthony Venturella replied to Christian Toussay's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
Christian, these images are visible and very interesting! Thank you. -
A thrilling documentary. Well worth a watch. The scope of the investigation that is at the heart of the documentary is staggering. CIA's history of making money off the drug trade in order to fund illegal wars is long standing, and reaches into many agencies of government. Many of the names will be familiar to JFKA researchers--as will the connections.

Bill, these were my questions. Here's the answers I found, although somewhat unsatisfying: Lennon was murdered one month before Reagan took office; Lennon had been silent for five years raising Sean, but was making a comeback in 1980. Lennon had been on Nixon's enemies list, was vilified for his Happy Xmas/War is Over billboards. The government's repeated efforts to deport him failed, and he was granted permanent residency. Appears he was deemed a threat when he resurfaced in 1980 and was here to stay. Apparently the national security apparatus did not want him around writing songs and buying billboards during the new administration's efforts in illegal clandestine activity (Iran-Contra, etc.). I plan to get David's new book.

JFK60 Interview with Jim DiEugenio
Anthony Venturella replied to Lori Spencer's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
Jim, I'm sure ha. The JFK-Nasser relationship is little known, but certainly the Middle East would be far different today with Nasser and JFK leading throughout the 1960s. A great point you made. Nasser used his considerable wit to expose his dispute with the Muslim Brotherhood, much like JFK did on many contentious topics. The book you reference, The Revolution of Robert Kennedy: From Power to Protest After JFK, by John Bohrer, is indeed enlightening on his transformation after 1963. Glad you mentioned. -
JFK60 Interview with Jim DiEugenio
Anthony Venturella replied to Lori Spencer's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
Great interview and information by both of you. Much appreciated. -
Thank you, Larry and Bill. Keep up the good fight. This is not "conspiracy theory" -- far from it. It is an outrage the US government must be sued to obey its laws. In addition, the secrecy surely implicates aspects of the US government due to its lack of transparency the over past 60 years. Indeed, likely the most appropriate answer to the question, "Who shot JFK?" is, to paraphrase Jefferson Morley, "I don't know. The JFK records are hidden and the government won't obey the law to release."

That's a gracious answer, Leslie. And yes, RFK's quest for truth ended in 1968, with the hopes he would investigate further once in the White House. From what we know now (e.g. massive amount of new information in Coup in Dallas!), the contours of the plot were likely beyond what even RFK envisioned.

Thank you for your labor on filing this suit and arguing for release of records, Mr. Schnapf.

Joe, As a child, I was watching it live in the kitchen with my Grandfather on his portable black/white television in Galena, Kansas. I was eating scrambled eggs he made for my breakfast. He was a city policeman and deputy sheriff and couldn't believe the break down in security that allowed a prisoner to be shot. He knew this didn't add up; I've been following the case since.

RFK jr says CIA killed JFK
Anthony Venturella replied to John Deignan's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
Well said, Jim. Bravo to RFK Jr. Perhaps he--and his mentioning of the Douglass book--is our "ripple of hope."
