New Dates for CAPA November Conference

[Douglas Caddy]

The new dates for the regular conference are 21-22 November.   Below is a recap of the presentations:   We are planning to have at least a half-day, and possibly longer, on the subject of “The JFK Assassination and the Media,” a topic that has not been discussed and investigated by the mainstream media. We will be showing a documentary by John Barbour entitled “The American Media & the 2nd Assassination of John F. Kennedy” and will also have a panel discussion on the issue. Dr. Cyril Wecht will be on the panel along with John Barbour, James Wagenvoord (who worked at Life Magazine in 1963), Russ Baker, and Mark Crispin Miller (Professor of media studies at New York University). Andrew Kreig will be the moderator of the panel.   Dr. Wecht will speak about his new book coming out next year entitled “JFK Assassination – Post-Mortem Dissection of the Warren Commission Report.” He will also be available for an extended time after his talk to take questions from the audience regarding his knowledge about the assassination evidence.   Tink Thompson (previously listed as a speaker) will not be able to participate. However, Gary Aguilar will speak in his place about the contents  of Tink’s new book.   Judge Brandon Birmingham and Toby Shook will speak about the Ruby trial.   James Wagenvoord will speak about his experiences working at Life magazine in 1963. He spoke last year and has much more to share.   Russell Kent (who holds a BSc honours degree in physiology from the University of London and joined the Laboratory of Applied Physiology at St Thomas's Hospital Medical School), will speak about the House Select Committee on Assassinations Forensic Pathology Panel: how it was formed, how it worked and some of its conclusions.   David Denton will speak on the subject “The Newly Released Documents: What they say about William Harvey’s potential participation in the JFK murder and the faulty intelligence that JFK received about Vietnam.”   Dick Russell will be speaking (topic TBD).   Mark Crispin Miller will speak on the subject “The weaponization of the term ‘conspiracy theory’ from 1967 to 2020, drawing inferences from the attacks on JFK/Dallas investigators to the even more aggressive censorship and slander of those looking into other, later evident conspiracies.   Also, this year we are planning a special day-long conference for high school, college, and law school students to be held on Friday, November 20.  We want to get more young people interested in this tragic event that changed the course of our country and hopefully enlist them in our cause. We are planning a program that will give them the opportunity to see what President Kennedy was like as a person and a president and educate them about the truth of the assassination. The event will be free to students attending high schools, universities and law schools. I am attaching a special invitation to students. If you know any students who might be interested, please pass this on to them. I am sending invitations to institutions in and around Dallas. If any of you have suggestions for other universities/law schools/high schools to include in the invitations, please let me know and I will see that they receive it.   The registration fee for all attendees of the regular conference will include attendance for the student day. Below is the tentative program:   John Barbour will introduce the program and speak about his life experiences which include how he came to be the creator of the first reality show on TV and his association with Jim Garrison (the District Attorney in New Orleans who brought the only case about the JFK assassination to court and who was the lead character in the Oliver Stone film, “JFK”).   Andrew Kiel, who spoke at our conference last year, is putting together a video collage of President Kennedy’s press conferences, inaugural address, missile crisis speech, and others.   The documentary “A President Betrayed” which illuminates the challenges JFK faced from his adversaries and from his own administration.   The documentary “JFK - The Case for Conspiracy” produced by Robert Groden will highlight the assassination and the deception and misinformation resulting in a cover-up by the Warren Commission. All the doctors who treated JFK at Parkland Hospital give their testimony about what they saw in Trauma Room One.   Two or three knowledgeable people, including Dr. Wecht, will be available to answer questions from students.   (Tentative) We will also present a high school teacher, Stu Wexler, who will talk about how his history class helped write a bill that was introduced in congress that would push the federal government to expeditiously release records relevant to civil rights cold cases, thereby proving that it is still possible for citizens to make a difference.
