... Some Warren Commission stuff......... Anthony Frewin A CRUEL AND SHOCKING ACT The Secret History of the Kennedy Assassination Philip Shenon New York: Henry Holt & Co, 2013 Illustrations, notes, bibliography, index, 625 pps. The subtitle is misleading. It should read, more correctly, The Secret History of the Warren Commission. But hold on, that's not even correct because there's precious little revealed here that could be described as secret. Allen Dulles turning up in his slippers and nodding off, for instance? Didn't we read about that in Epstein's Inquest back in 1966? Unless I'm suffering from some 'critical community' terminal myopia, ...

... Day – initially George Washington's birthday but now a combined birthday celebration for Washington and Abraham Lincoln: the Father of the Country and the Great Liberator. The year starts with Martin Luther King Day in January, when some whites and Blacks commemorate the man who was the highlight of the Great March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963 – assassinated in 1968 for saying in 1967: 'I knew that I could never again raise my voice against the violence of the oppressed in the ghettos without having first spoken clearly to the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today: my own government. ' Today the United States is governed with a black president. And yet as can be ...

... : 'they know that if they start trouble we'll blow their bloody heads off'. After the withdrawal there were charges of torture under him, and of shocking behaviour by his 'Jocks' (ordinary troops), some of which were true; but 'the key point' here, as Aaron Edwards claims, 'is that they operated against ruthless assassins who had murdered many of their colleagues'. You couldn't expect to judge these things through 'the distorting lens of British fair play'. 'In any case', as Mitchell wrote in his autobiography, Having Been a Soldier, published just two years after his return from Aden and resignation from the Army (because he wasn't promoted high ...

... The President's Mortician Tim Fleming Neverland Publishing, 2013, p/b www.neverlandpublishing.com/tpm.html The publication of Tim Fleming's book marks, to my knowledge, the first real attempt to (forgive the phrase) put flesh on the biographical bones of John Melvin Liggett, a shadowy character whose apparent connections to the JFK assassination are discussed in my own 'Doubles and Disinformation' in this issue of Lobster. There is good news and bad news about this book. The bad news is that, despite the author's first-hand research into Liggett's life, his book is so heavily fictionalised as to count as a novel. The good news is that it's actually ...

... LBJ: doubles and disinformation Garrick Alder Lobster readers will be aware of the relationship between US President Lyndon Johnson and his alleged personal hitman Malcolm 'Mac' Wallace, who is linked by forensic evidence to the assassination of JFK. This article explores some of the circumstances of another convicted murderer with alleged links to the Kennedy assassination, the late John Liggett. One episode of Nigel Turner's much-slated TV documentary series, 'The Men Who Killed Kennedy', broadcast in 2003, featured an interview with 'Lois', the pseudonymous former wife of Dallas funeral technician John M Liggett. In the programme as aired, the former Mrs Liggett related how her husband had been called away from ...

... US global assassination programme exposed Dirty Wars Jeremy Scahill London: Serpent's Tail, 2013, £15.99, p/b Jeremy Scahill's Dirty Wars is one of the most important books on international affairs to be published in recent years. Here we have laid out before us details of a series of crimes that for some reason the International Criminal Court chooses to ignore; but crimes they are. Indeed, one of the criminals he exposes, a certain Barack Obama, has actually received the Nobel Peace Prize. The story has its origins in the 9/11 attack on the United States and the Bush administration's response. On the one hand, the CIA was let ...

... the GIA. He was wanted by the French in connection with terrorism, including the Paris Metro bombing in 1995. In 2002, the British High Court rejected France's extradition requests. Also in the mid-1990s, MI6 wired £100,000 to the bin Laden-linked Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) in an effort to assassinate Libyan leader, Muammar Gaddafi. Like al-Zawahiri, the LIFG crop up again in connection with 'AQIM'. All of this is documented in occasional press articles and in former Chatham House Fellow Mark Curtis's book, Secret Affairs.43 The main London-based LIFG member was Ansar al-Liby. 40 Sue Reid, 'The ...

... baggage-handling systems in airports. Another large chunk is about the forensic examination of the explosion and the attempt to determine where the bomb was placed in the cargo hold. I found much of this boring and some difficult to follow: it needs studying, note-taking. This made me feel the way I did as a JFK assassination beginner encountering the more arcane end of the research, such as the autopsy evidence. I skipped bits of it (Kerr provides handy summaries at the end of the detailed sections). But the detail is necessary because Kerr wants to show that the received versions are false, that the official investigations (and the Scots judges) mishandled ...
