John Lennon's Anniversary And The American Way Of Death

by Ben Raworth
8 December 2012 27 Comments

It's 31 years to the day that John Lennon was gunned down by Mark Chapman in New York, what is it with America and assassination?

John Lennon: December 8, 1980

At 5pm on the day of the shooting, Mark David Chapman was caught on camera as John Lennon signed his copy of the album Double Fantasy. Three hours later patrolmen Frauenberger and Palma of the NYPD 20th Precinct answered a “shots fired” call to 1 West 72nd Street: the Dakota Building. Arriving at the scene, they found Lennon bleeding from four .38 calibre gunshot wounds. Chapman, having gunned down the rock icon, calmly dropped his pistol and took out a copy of JD Salinger’s Catcher in the Rye and began to read. Lennon eventually died from major traumatic haemorrhage - he lost 80 per cent of his blood. A campaign to free Chapman has proved unsuccessful so far, despite claims by supporters that “now he has killed his Beatle he is no longer a threat to anyone else.”

Malcolm X: February 21, 1965

A former pimp, drug runner and gambler, Malcolm Little converted to The Nation Of Islam in 1952 while serving a seven year stretch. Little had turned to crime after being told by a teacher that being a lawyer was “no realistic goal for a nigger”. On his release, the charismatic X helped swell the Nation’s members from 300 to 30,000 in less than ten years. After finding out that Elijah Muhammad had been an adulterer, devout Muslim Malcolm grew apart from the Nation and set up his own Muslim Mosque Inc. He further angered his former brothers by coming back from a trip to Mecca and announcing he had met “blue eyed, blond haired men (he) could call brothers” and began preaching integration. His house was blown up on February 14, 1965. Seven days later at the Audoubon Ballroom, Harlem, three men - Talmadge Hayer, Norman ’3X’ Butler and Thomas ’15X’ Johnson - shot Malcolm X 15 times at close range. The wounds were fatal.

John F Kennedy: November 22, 1963

The shot that was heard around the world. Or shots, as the case may be. Still the subject of well-founded conspiracy theories, the skinny as presented by the American Government reads as follows: Communist sympathiser Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone, fired three shots in rapid succession from a book depository in Dallas, Texas, fatally wounding the President, who was on an open-topped car tour of the city. Before the case could come to trial, Oswald was himself gunned down by nightclub owner Jack Ruby. For a more realistic and far more engaging take on the end of Camelot, read James Elroy’s masterpiece American Tabloid and all will become clear. Lyndon B Johnson succeeded JFK and stepped up America’s involvement in Vietnam.

Ronald Reagan: March 30, 1981

Departing the Washington DC Hilton Hotel, the President and his entourage were stunned by a sudden, rapid burst of gunfire. Reagan was hit in the chest and nearly died on the operating table. Press Secretary James Brady was hit in the spine and crippled. Other casualties were policemen Thomas Delahanty and Secret Service Agent Tim McCarthy. Arrested on the spot was Jodie Foster obsessive John Hinckley Jr - a man who had seen Taxi Driver 12 times and claimed to be attempting to impress the actress by assassinating the President. Tried in 1982, Hinckley was found not guilty by reason of insanity and currently resides at St Elizabeth’s Psychiatric Hospital in Maryland. His unsupervised trips away from the hospital were withdrawn in 2000 when a book on Jodie Foster was found hidden in his bedroom. Ronnie recovered and went on to win his second term in office in 1984.

Arriving at the scene, they found Lennon bleeding from four .38 calibre gunshot wounds. Chapman, having gunned down the rock icon, calmly dropped his pistol and took out a copy of JD Salinger’s Catcher in the Rye and began to read.

Martin Luther King: April 4, 1968

Leading civil rights activist Dr Martin Luther King was gunned down on the second floor balcony of the Motel Lorraine in Memphis, Tennessee. The conviction of James Earl Ray has always been hotly disputed - Ray claimed he confessed under duress, and retracted his confession almost immediately. The case is shrouded in mystery: a King party “advance man” moved King’s room from the ground floor to the second floor a day before he arrived - but King had no advance man. Tree branches which would have obscured the gunman’s alleged shot from the boarding house window opposite were chopped down by the City of Memphis a day after the killing. A drunk who had seen a fleeing ‘black man’ altered the race of the suspect after a $30,000 debt of his was paid by the FBI. Ray died in jail in 1998.

Robert F Kennedy: June 5, 1968

Democratic front-runner Robert F Kennedy had just delivered a speech at a California Primary and was making his way through Los Angeles’ Ambassador Hotel kitchen when shots rang out. He was hit three times and died the following day. Sirhan Sirhan, a Palestinian Arab, was arrested with a gun at the scene and is still serving a life sentence in Corcoran State Prison, California. While Sirhan admits to firing shots he claims he was hypnotised and again many aspects of the assassination do not add up: Sirhan was in front of Kennedy, but the fatal shot came from behind.; some 2,410 photographs taken on the night disappeared from the LAPD; and dozens of other gunshots fired by various people on the night are unaccounted for. Sirhan’s many applications for parole have been flatly refused. The hotel was recently demolished to make way for a huge Wal-Mart.

Gianni Versace: July 15, 1997

The murder of the flamboyant designer, adored by Naomi, Diana, Elton and Sting, was especially unsettling because of its outwardly random and motiveless nature. The 50 year old fashion legend had strolled back alone to his Miami villa after his usual breakfast at a favourite cafe, when the barrel of a .40 calibre pistol was pressed to his head. Andrew Cunanan pulled the trigger, ending the designer’s life on the steps of his own home. Cunanan was on the FBI’s ‘Ten Most Wanted’ list in connection with a cross-country killing spree that had already left four dead in Minnesota, Illinois and New Jersey. He naturally fled the scene of his latest murder and the biggest manhunt Florida had ever seen got underway. With the media dubbing the fugitive a “homosexual serial killer”, the chase went on for eight days until, bailed up by SWAT teams on a houseboat in Miami Beach, Cunanan blew his brains out. His suicide left no real clues as to why he singled out Versace.

George C Wallace: May 15, 1972

One time segregationist Wallace was running for the Democratic Presidential ticket when he was targeted by Arthur Bremer - later the inspiration for Travis Bickle. Wallace was notorious as the Governor of Alabama who’d created and supported the intimidating atmosphere faced by the first black students when segregation was abolished in 1963 at the University of Alabama. Aware of the threat of assassination, Wallace spoke from behind an 800-pound bullet-proof podium. Bremer, wearing red, white and blue and with a newly-shaven head, led the supporters’ cheers and got behind the screen shooting the governor five times. Wallace was crippled by the shots but did not die. Bremer is still serving out his 53 year sentence in Laurel Prison, Maryland. His Diary Of An Assassin was published in 1973 but revealed no grand political aims, just the desire of a little man to make a mark. “It had to be Nixon or Wallace,” he stated. Wallace, meanwhile, renounced his racist views, won over the black vote and became Alabama Governor for a fourth term in 1982. He died in 1988.

I am a conspiracy theorist that wears that "tag" because I cannot prove my theory beyond doubt..and so it is what it is conjecture..The Warren report that many claim to be facts that led to the conclusion that Lee Oswald was the assassin who murdered JFK is the glue that holds the lone nut theory on Oswald's name The problem with that conclusion is that Lee Oswald was never tried for murdering anyone..least of all President Kennedy...Because Oswald was murder before being formally charged..and tried...I believe there is sufficient evidence in the film shot by Abraham Zapruder that if reviewed by an independent investigator would conclude that the final shot entered the head at approximately an inch in front of his right temple area..Peeling away the skin from the right side of his head..and exiting the right lower portion at about 3 " above the scalp level at the rear of his head ..Watch the tape ..see what the body of the dead President tells you as it is violently lifted and thrown to his left finally coming to rest in his wife's lap..The body of the President obeyed the bullets path by being taken in the direction to which the bullet was traveling..Hit from the front..pushes him back....if he was struck from the rear his body would be pushed forward..The other conclusion will tell you that there is proof that exist that a high impact missile hitting a body from the rear will on occasion "pull" the body backwards..Yes..that is their argument and proof..because no proof has ever been shown to support their weak and wrong theory. They know however that attempting to disprove a negative theory is a waste of time and time consuming ..You tan have to ask them why would they ride such a weak and unprovable point..?..The other points are again solid evbdance that at least one shot hit the President in the head fron the rt front oof the kill shot..Mrs Kennedy did what seconds after the final shot..S he in a panic was so fretghtened she decided to exith the now fast moving limo by crab crawling alng the trunk of the limo and apparently she was going to "slide " off the trunk ont the now freeway..right..that is what the other view will tell you she was dong..However the proof of her 10 second side trip was bundled in her hand ..and remained in her hand until JFK was pronounced dead at Parkland Hospital..It was several large pieces of the President's scalp that had been blown out of the rear exit hole of his head ..onto the trunk..If the other sides theory is true ..than the fragments of brain, scalp and tissue would have been found in the front of the President's body...Finally two Dallas Police Dept. Motorcycle officers riding to the left rear of the limo when the final shot did the damage..were so covered in the President's brain and blood being thrown from` a rear exit wound..that they had to stop pursuing the limo and "mop" the blood and brain matter from their faces and sun glasses to be able to see..Two witnesses who saw the officers stopping in front of them thought the offices had been shot because of their "uniforms and helmets being matted in blood and gore"...If the shot was from the rear to the front ..all of that which was caked on the officers would have beenon th inside of the limo..

The author erroneously stated that the Ambassador Hotel "was recently demolished to make way for a huge Wal-Mart." Actually a complex of schools, called the Robert F. Kennedy Community Schools, was built at the site.

Robert Morrow 4:10 am, 7-Jan-2011

http://www.infowars.com/the-lbj-cia-assassination-of-jfk/ The LBJ-CIA Assassination of JFK Lyndon Johnson made a dirty deal with CIA Republicans to murder John Kennedy in the 1963 Coup d’Etat. (People like Clint Murchison Sr., H.L. Hunt, Nelson Rockefeller, David Rockefeller, top Nelson Rockefeller aide Henry Kissinger, George Herbert Walker Bush and Gen. Edward Lansdale all are excellent candidates for elite sponsorship.) Lyndon Johnson and Allen Dulles may very well have been co-CEOs of the JFK assassination; with the CIA in charge of the killing of JFK, and Lyndon Johnson and (his close friend and neighbor of 19 years in Washington, DC) FBI director J. Edgar Hoover in charge of the cover up. Clint Murchison, Sr – more so than even H.L. Hunt – was a key player in the JFK assassination because of his close ties to the inner core of US intelligence (Allen Dulles, Nelson Rockefeller, John J. McCloy), close ties to Lyndon Johnson and J. Edgar Hoover of the FBI, bankers Rockefellers; Murchison was even friends with key Kennedy-hater mafia godfather Carlos Marcellos of New Orleans. Not only that, Murchison, Sr. was a patient and partner of Dr. Alton Oschner, the former president of the American Cancer Society and who ran covert cancer research for the CIA. Oschner, likewise was a Kennedy-hater. John Simkin: “One of Ochsner's friends described him as being ‘like a fundamentalist preacher in the sense that the fight against communism was the only subject that he would talk about, or even allow you to talk about, in his presence.” When JFK was slaughtered, Russia’s Khrushchev was literally crying, fearing nuclear war. Cuba’s Castro worried and feared an US invasion and gave an impressive speech the next day deconstructing the CIA’s deception provocation for war. Meanwhile at Clint Murchison’s home, their family maid May Newman describes the scene: “The mood in the Murchison family home was very joyous and happy. For a whole week after like champagne and caviar flowed, every day of the week. But I was the only one in that household at that time that felt any grief for his assassination." The Warren Commission should have really been called the “Allen Dulles Commission” because he controlled it and made it the farce that it was. Dulles was probably an elite sponsor (i.e. murderer), as well as certainly Lyndon Johnson. The 3 hardcore cover up artists on the Warren Commission were the 3 Council on Foreign Relations members: Allen Dulles (president CFR 1946-50), John J. McCloy (then chairman of the CFR 1953-1970) and Gerald Ford (CFR member, later president). John J. McCloy was a Rockefeller man, former head of Chase Manhattan bank, and very deep US intelligence since the OSS days. John J. McCloy’s nickname was “Chairman of the American Establishment,” and he mixed at the highest levels of business, intelligence and he was close to the Kennedy-hating Texas business elite. Cover up artist Gerald Ford was secretly reporting to Hoover and the FBI what the Warren Commission was doing. In 1970, Newsweek called Gerald Ford the CIA’s “best friend in Congress.” The CFR especially 40 years ago, was heavily Rockefeller influenced and it top players were deep CIA. The CIA has been called the military wing of the CFR; and actually that is not too far from the truth. The CFR was in its heyday from 1950-1990. Here is an absolutely spectacular article why the National Security State murdered John Kennedy: http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig10/marshall10.1.html John Kennedy was despised by and did not control his CIA nor his Joint Chiefs of Staff. Lyndon Johnson’s reasons to murder were out of his deep desperation and fear of what would become of him after his imminent expulsion from the 1964 Democratic ticket and his fears of going to jail over the exploding Bobby Baker scandal. LIFE magazine, being fed extremely damaging info by Robert Kennedy, was set to run an expose on Lyndon Johnson’s corruption that would blow him out of the water once and for all (Dec. 6th issue, but due to be printed and mailed on 11/29/63: source James Wagenvoord who worked at LIFE then). Bobby Baker was the protégé of a wildly corrupt LBJ in the Senate; Lyndon Johnson was like both a dad and a big brother to Bobby Baker (who named two of his children after LBJ: Lynda and Lyndon). Both Lyndon Johnson and Bobby Baker were receiving tremendous amounts of under-the-table money while Johnson was running the Senate. The Kennedys and LIFE Magazine were literally days away from politically executing Lyndon Johnson with the rope of the unraveling Bobby Baker scandal. After vaporizing the despised Lyndon Johnson, John Kennedy was going to replace LBJ most likely with Terry Sanford of North Carolina or possibly his good friend George Smathers of Florida as VP on the 1964 Democratic ticket. The Kennedys and Lyndon Johnson were having a sub rosa fight: Jack and Robert Kennedy brought knives to the battle and Lyndon Johnson brought guns and it was settled on 11/22/63 at 12:30 PM in Dallas. Lately, I have been studying the role of McGeorge Bundy, the National Security Advisor for JFK and Henry Cabot Lodge, JFK’s insubordinate ambassador to Vietnam who Kennedy was planning to fire on Monday, 11/25/63. It is probable that both McGeorge Bundy and Henry Cabot Lodge were involved some way with the JFK assassination. McGeorge Bundy, astonishingly, was already drafting sharp escalations to JFK’s Vietnam policy NSAM 273 (which JFK would not have approved) on 11/21/63, the night before the 1963 Coup d’Etat! Bundy later ran the Ford Foundation from 1966-1979. JFK’s Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, who ran the Rockefeller Foundation from 1952-1961, and was also a hawk on Vietnam, is another one who merits close scrutiny in the Coup of 1963. Kennedy had appointed Rusk because it was unlikely that the Senate would confirm JFK’s first choice J. William Fulbright, who later became a prominent opponent of the Vietnam War. After the 1963 Coup d’Etat, Rusk lasted through all the blood and guts of Vietnam and all the way through Jan., 1969, as Johnson’s Secretary of State. Walt Rostow (CFR), another Vietnam hawk, replaced McGeorge Bundy (CFR) as National Security Advisor in 1966. The CFR and the Rockefellers, not John Kennedy, lusted for the Vietnam War. The midlevel murderers (field operations) of JFK would include CIA guys like Richard Helms, James Angleton, David Morales, William King Harvey, E. Howard Hunt, Frank Sturgis, David Atlee Phillips and perhaps Cord Meyer. Deputy Harry Weatherford is a good candidate to have been on the Records Building as a sniper. Influential mobster Johnny Roselli was especially close friends with the CIA’s William King Harvey, a rabid Kennedy hater. The most likely mafia godfathers involved would be Carlos Marcello and Santos Trafficante, particularly in the Jack Ruby murder of Oswald and perhaps in the JFK Assassination as well and other murders in the post assassination cover up. We now know Lyndon Johnson was far worse than he is presented in current biographies. Far beyond ballot stuffing, bribery, massive under-the-table kickbacks, and being a consummate and pathological liar, Lyndon Johnson was murdering a lot of people in Texas to cover up his eye popping corruption. A prime example is the murder of US agricultural official Henry Marshall in June, 1961, and who then Vice President Lyndon Johnson arranged to have murdered. In the 1980’s, Billie Sol Estes, a close and corrupt partner of LBJ, began confessing to the murders that he, Lyndon Johnson, Cliff Carter and LBJ’s personal hit man Malcolm Wallace committed. Lyndon Johnson, a manic depressive – and at times a barely functioning psychopath - murdered perhaps 10-20 people to avoid exposure before he got his knife wet with John Kennedy’s blood. My current thinking on US intelligence agent Lee Harvey Oswald is that he was indeed involved in the JFK assassination, but he was a patsy who shot NO ONE that day, neither John Kennedy nor Officer J.D. Tippit. Both murders were complete frame jobs. Oswald was a fake defector to Russia and his behavior in New Orleans 1963 was all about Oswald’s sheep dipping as he passed out pro-Castro flyers and pretended to be a “pro-Castro Marxist.” Meanwhile Oswald was working in concert in New Orleans with folks like David Ferrie and Guy Bannister whose politics were the equivalent of a 1960’s Strom Thurmond or Jesse Helms. Oswald’s fake public persona as a “pro-Casto Marxist” meant that he was an ideal pick as a patsy and his likely knowledge of and/or participation in the JFK Assassination meant that he had to be murdered quickly. The folks who killed Oswald wanted a “dead Red” not a “talking head.” The JFK assassination was a deception provocation intended to facilitate a US military invasion of Cuba. It was that bad and ugly. A US invasion of Cuba might have provoked a broader war with Russia and from the point of view of some like Air Force General Curtis LeMay that was fine because, astoundingly, he wanted to wage and “win” a nuclear WWIII. Curtis LeMay hated Kennedy so much that a child could have recruited him into a plot to kill Kennedy. LeMay told Kennedy during the Cuban Missile Crisis that he was an appeaser equivalent to Neville Chamberlain for not bombing Cuba. That was the pool of sharks John Kennedy was swimming in: a desperate and psychopathic serial killer Vice-President Lyndon Johnson who was literally murdering a string of people down in Texas and who was waging a sub rosa war with the Kennedys, an out-of-control CIA hell bent on a coup; an FBI director Hoover who detested JFK and who was close friends and neighbors with LBJ, and a JCS military brass who wanted to invade Cuba, wage the war in Vietnam, and Curtis Lemay who, according to Robert McNamara, wanted to wage full scale nuclear war with Russia, giving them the “Sunday punch” while the USA still had first strike capability. Add to that the white hot mafia hatred that Robert Kennedy was engendering with his prosecutions. This same mafia had been working hand in glove with their friends the CIA to take out Castro in Cuba. Think of these enemies of JFK as fasces: “a bundle of wooden sticks with an axe blade emerging from the center, which is an image that traditionally symbolizes summary power and jurisdiction, and/or strength through unity.” The elite domestic murderers of JFK did it for many reasons, both personal and ideological. At the core it was Lyndon Johnson, the CIA, and the shadow government of Texas oil barons and the Rockefellers. It was not either/or the Western “Cowboys” or the Eastern “Yankees” who murdered John Kennedy: it was the elites of both. I always want to learn and I am always willing to change my mind. Two excellent books to read on the JFK assassination are 1) LBJ: Mastermind of JFK’s Assassination (2010) by Phillip Nelson http://www.lbj-themastermind.com/ and 2) JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why it Matters (2008) by James Douglass. Review: http://www.ctka.net/2008/jfk_unspeakable.html Another important review of Douglass: http://bigpeace.com/dladams/2010/12/18/so-alone-jfk-and-the-unspeakable/ Richard Nixon knew the dirty truth about the JFK assassination, but I do not think he was directly involved. In fact, when Nixon was under intense Watergate pressure, his firewall strategy as recorded on the “smoking gun tape” was to ominously say don’t investigate me because it you do “the President believes that this is going to open up the whole Bay of Pigs thing again” – an obvious reference to the JFK assassination. Nixon’s aide Dean Burch said that when George Herbert Walker Bush heard that “He broke out in assholes and shit himself to death.” Without a doubt, top honors for being biggest source for disinformation on the Coup of 1963 has been the NY Times whose reporting on the JFK assassination has been the equivalent of 1950’s Soviet style propaganda, i.e. completely fraudulent and parroting the 1960’s fantastic whoppers of LBJ, FBI, CIA and the Warren Commission. CBS News, ABC News, the Washington Post and the former LIFE magazine and CIA assets in other major media have been equally bad. LIFE Magazine actually bought the rights to the Zapruder film early on and never showed it once to the American people in video form., which would have revealed the incriminating “back and to the left” head snap of John Kennedy, all but proving a kill shot from the Grassy Knoll (grassy knoll shooting area being an extremely close 33 yards away from JFK). Finally, when American hero Robert Groden showed the Zapruder film on Geraldo on ABC in 1975, millions of Americans knew without a doubt what a sham the Warren Commission was. A special word about the Council on Relations role in the 1963 Coup d’Etat and cover up: no other organization has been more responsible for the murder and cover up of John Kennedy than the CFR. Elite CFR members such as Allen Dulles, Nelson Rockefeller and George Herbert Walker Bush were probably sponsors of the JFK assassination. Certainly leadership CFR members such as Allen Dulles, John J. McCloy, and Gerald Ford played the most critical roles in the Warren Commission farce. Add in cover up roles played by Nelson Rockefeller (CFR), Henry Kissinger (CFR), Richard Helms (CFR), William Colby CIA/CFR, McGeorge Bundy (CFR), Nicholas Katzenbach (CFR), Jack Valenti (CFR), Bill Moyers (CFR), William Coleman (CFR) James Reston NY Times (CFR), Anthony Lewis NY Times (CFR), Walter Cronkite CBS (CFR), Dan Rather CBS (CFR), Peter Jennings ABC (CFR), Daniel Schorr (CFR), Arthur Ochs Sulzberger NY Times (CFR), Kenneth Gilmore Readers’ Digest (CFR), Stephen Rosenfeld Washington Post (CFR), Bobbie Ray Inman (CFR), … the list is almost endless. Note two things: 1) they are the key establishment players of BOTH major political parties spanning decades 2) their power and influence is directly proportional to the fantastic whoppers they tell about in the 1963 Coup d’Etat. For the older CFR members it is a case of PARTICIPATION and COVER UP in the JFK assassination. For the younger ones such as George Will (CFR), Charles Krauthammer (CFR), Bill Kristol (CFR), David Gergen (CFR), John Segenthaler (CFR), Frank Sesno (CFR), Michael Beschloss (CFR) it is a case of WILLFUL IGNORANCE as they still push the Big Lie. Note: Chris Matthews of Hardball, another willfully ignorant man, is close friends with Richard Haass, current president of CFR. I have never seen the highly acclaimed political guru Michael Barone, a Bilderberger attendee, ever say anything credible on the JFK assassination. Question: do we really expect the CFR to admit that some of its elite members slaughtered John Kennedy and many more played integral roles in the cover up? No, but it is important to highlight that the Council on Foreign Relations has stunk up the place with tremendous amounts of radioactive horse manure relating to the 1963 Coup d’Etat. The 1963 Coup d’Etat was very similar to the 1992 election between George Herbert Walker Bush, Ross Perot and Bill Clinton. In 1963, there was a Texas Vice President, a desperate and dangerous Lyndon Johnson - supported by the CFR, the intelligence agencies, military contractors and the oil industry - who feared exposure of his criminality and was on the verge of political and personal annihilation. So Lyndon Johnson used the CIA to murder his political rival John Kennedy. In the 1992, there was a Texas President, a desperate and dangerous George Herbert Walker Bush, supported by the CFR, the intelligence agencies, military contractors and the oil industry - who feared exposure of his criminality and was on the verge of political and personal annihilation. Ross Perot was well aware of the gargantuan Bush/Clinton/CIA drug smuggling of the 1980’s. So George Herbert Walker Bush used CIA assassins to threaten to murder Ross Perot. GHW Bush feared what Perot, a self-funded (and therefore uncontrollable) billionaire might do in office. Bush, like LBJ 29 years before, faced both political and personal annihilation if an untainted Ross Perot were elected. Ross Perot was leading in a Time/CNN poll in June, 1992, with 37% to 24% Clinton, 24% Bush. On July 16, 1992, Ross Perot, a billionaire who could self-fund and was leading in the polls significantly, QUIT the presidential race because he feared that a desperate George Herbert Walker Bush might assassinate him. Google “Chip Tatum Pegasus” and read about the elite CIA assassin who quit rather than do what George Herbert Walker Bush had ordered him to do: http://whatreallyhappened.com/RANCHO/POLITICS/MENA/TATUM/tatum.html An incensed Perot later got back in the race only to ensure the election of Bill Clinton. I think that George Herbert Walker Bush became a made man with the JFK assassination in 1963. One of the first things the Bill Clinton CFR did after he got elected in 1992 was to ask Webb Hubbell at Justice to find out who really killed John Kennedy. The Discovery Channel has put out some incredibly bogus, poorly done disinfo presentations such as Inside the Target Car. Any MSM site that features Vincent Bugliosi, Gerald Posner, especially Hugh Aynesworth, Edward Jay Epstein, Gus Russo, Dale Meyers, Max Holland, Dave Perry or Gary Mack prominently and positively is giving you counterfeit money. Edward Epstein and Gerald Posner in particular are thought by many credible JFK researchers to be CIA propagandists. If you google “JFK assassination” the first 2 links that come up are lone nutter controlled disinfo sites: 1) Wikipedia 2) John McAdam’s site. John McAdams is a very lowly regarded man who basically controls JFK related content on Wikipedia as well as his own site. Both Wikipedia and the NY Times are both tremendously dishonest sources for information relating to the 1963 Coup d’Etat. Finally, another major source of disinformation on the Coup of 1963 is the Sixth Floor Museum in Dallas, which blithely recycles the shredded vapors of the Warren Commission, as if it had an ounce of truth in it. Gary Mack, the curator of the Sixth Floor Museum, simply does not have credibility on the JFK assassination. In the near future there are going to be efforts by both Tom Hanks (HBO series) and Leonardo DiCaprio (a movie) to take on the JFK assassination. Sadly, these are both going to be disinformation efforts; the ONLY legitimate take on the JFK assassination is that it was a full blown domestic coup d’etat. Tom Hanks is a clueless lone nutter. The best discussion boards on the internet for good info are 1) Education Forum 2) Deep Politics Forum 3) JFKmurdersolved.com and 4) Mary Ferrell Foundation – www.maryferrell.org 5) JFK Lancer. On Facebook, the premier spot is JFK-The Grassy Knoll Witnesses (run by Rusty Yardum) http://www.facebook.com/pages/JFK-The-Grassy-Knoll-Witnesses/115305938487641 . Black Op radio’s web site www.blackopradio.com (Len Osanic) is an excellent place to listen to high quality interviews with folks such as JFK expert Jim DiEugenio. Deep Politics Quarterly (Walt Brown) http://www.manuscriptservice.com/DPQ/ and www.ctka.net (Jim DiEugenio) are 2 other quality spots on the internet. As for videos, I highly recommend going to You Tube and watching the extremely important The Men Who Killed Kennedy - (episodes 7, 8, and 9). Much of these episodes focus on the role of Lyndon Johnson in the 1963 Coup d’Etat and they were BANNED from the History Channel because they were so accurate. LBJ aide Jack Valenti (CFR) organized a suppression campaign on the videos along with Lady Bird Johnson, Warren Commission con man Gerald Ford (CFR), Jimmy Carter (CFR) and Bill Moyers (CFR). Also, watch Jesse Ventura’s 2010 Conspiracy Theory show on the JFK assassination (on You Tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHUKPXR5TbQ ). In addition, I recommend JFK the movie by Oliver Stone, director’s cut. Oliver Stone, despite immense criticism in the MSM by CIA assets, pretty much nailed the JFK assassination. It was a full blown Coup d’Etat by Lyndon Johnson, the CIA and key elements of the U.S. military. Robert Morrow is a political researcher with over 200+ books on the 1963 Coup d’Etat, aka JFK assassination. His email is [email protected] and he accepts phone calls at 512-306-1510.

As an American I feel compelled to warn you all in the UK that any mention of the JFK assassination is a surefire way to bring every nutbag out of the woodwork. If you really want to set off a firestorm, though, I recommend an article on how 9/11 was not an inside job as you'll be guaranteed to see a boatload of American craziness. Anyway, I'm glad to see that British people think this place is one never-ending battle royale, as it'll give me mad street cred on my next trip over there. Thanks!

There are people who know the JFK assassination was a full blown LBJ-CIA coup d'etat ... and then there are *fantasy theories* who gobble down the 40+ years discredited whoppers of LBJ, Hoover, Allen Dulles, CIA, FBI, Dallas police, Secret Service. [Robert Morrow – researcher into the 1963 Coup d’Etat. I have 200+ books related to the JFK assassination. Google my essay “LBJ-CIA Assassination of JFK”] If you want to get quickly “up to speed” on the JFK assassination, here is what to read: 1) LBJ: Mastermind of JFK’s Assassination by Phillip Nelson 2) JFK and the Unspeakable:Why He Died and Why it Matters by James Douglass 3) Brothers: the Hidden History of the Kennedy Years by David Talbot 4) The Dark Side of Camelot by Seymour Hersh 5) Family of Secrets: The Bush Dynasty by Russ Baker. 6) Google the essay “LBJ-CIA Assassination of JFK” by Robert Morrow. 7) Google “National Security State by Andrew Gavin Marshall.” 8) Google “Chip Tatum Pegasus.” 9) Google “Vincent Salandria False Mystery Speech.” 10) Go to YouTube and watch the videos The Men Who Killed Kennedy, episodes 7, 8, and 9 which focus on the role of Lyndon Johnson. 11) On YouTube watch Jesse Ventura’s show on the JFK assassination. 12) Watch the movie JFK director’s cut by Oliver Stone. 13) Also, on You Tube watch “Evidence of Revision.” – 8 hours of fantastic and rare footage relating to the JFK assassination. 14) Google “Murray Rothbard the JFK Flap”

"I have 200+ books related to the JFK assassination." I bet you don't have the love of a good woman.

TEST: I just wanted to see what sort of visitors we'd attract if I name-checked the JFK assassination and the Star Wars prequel trilogy in the same post...

Excellent article on the mystery behind John Lennon's death that I found: http://www.greatest-unsolved-mysteries.com/john-lennon-death.html Great job on your coverage!

When you look at all the lone-nut assasinations, without throwing in Versace to cloud the mix, you notice one thing. In all these cases the person assasinated was not supportive of corporatism or big government. They were disturbing the status quo. But more importantly, in all these cases an excellent marksman who planned out everything so meticulously, every last detail, forgot to plan one thing...what to do after pulling the trigger. Things that make you go hmm... Plus you forgot Abe Lincoln. Sic Semper Tyrannis

And as for Lennon, the best account I've ever read about Chapman is the book "Who Killed John Lennon?" by Fenton Bressler.

Imagine a world living in peace… John did and I tried to channel his world-embracing and loving energy this week with a tribute portrait inspired by his music and his passion for changing the world. You can see this new work of art in memoriam on my artist’s blog at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/12/john-lennon-just-imagine.html

There is a cool new 30min documentary on YouTube called 'Genius - The Movie', that takes a new look the genius of John Lennon. It contains some very probing stuff. I'm really sorry he's dead.

The more significant question is why conspiracy theorists can't grasp the concept of punctuation.
