JFK and the Unspeakable

JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why it Matters, by James W. Douglass The assassination of JFK. What really happened?

Do the mainstream accounts reflect the whole story? In the mainstream, is there adequate analysis of the environment surrounding the death of JFK? The answer is no.

Here's a compelling analysis by Ground Zero Center for Nonviolent Action co-founder James W. Douglass. It's titled JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why it Matters. The book contains an account that has been all but ignored by the mainstream press. So I think it is important to promote this important book through alternative channels.

Oliver Stone:

"...an extraordinary new book offers the best account I have read of this tragedy and its significance. That book is James Douglass's JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters. It is a book that deserves the attention of all Americans; it is one of those rare books that, by helping us understand our history, has the power to change it.

...

[additional quoted material]: "Why does it matter? The death of JFK remains a critical turning point in our history. Those who caused his death were targeting not just a man but a vision -- a vision of peace. There is no calculating the consequences of his death for this country and for the world. Those consequences endure. To a large extent, the fate of our country and the future of the planet continue to be controlled by the shadowy forces of what Douglass calls "the Unspeakable." Only by unmasking these forces and confronting the truth about our history can we restore the promise of democracy and lay claim to Kennedy's vision of peace."

9/11 was an inside job!

Moon landing! 9/11! Lizard people! MKULTRA! moon landing! inside job! chem trails! inside job!

 

but somehow peace and ghandi. 

The most history people are exposed to...

The Godfather I & II "You surprise me, Tom. If history has taught us anything, it's that anyone can be killed at any time."

The current Obama nuclear

The current Obama nuclear weapon policy or whatever you want to call it changes nothing, really. It isn't an update on the START treaties and in effect it's essentially a rattle of the saber at North Korea or Iran or any states that might harbor or enable terrorists. Ahmadinejad is already protesting. (I'd gladly get payday advances to pay him off, if a few hundred or so would cause him to shut up.) Republicans will doubtlessly protest, but then again what Don't they protest?
