... War and through the McCarthy period. So far so 11 A version of this originally appeared in the Fortean Times. Page 94 Summer 2011 Lobster 61 unexceptional. But when we start moving through the sixties towards the present day, it all goes off the rails. Once again Oswald, Sirhan and Ray are presented as the assassins of the Kennedys and King. None of the more substantial research which suggests they were innocent is even suggested. Olmsted says (p . 8) that her 'goal is not to prove or disprove the conspiracy theories discussed in this book. ' But by her choice of which version of them to present she judges the theories. Had she presented the ...

... Scott. Scott is still the boss as far as I am concerned, and this extract shows that, armed with some of the recently declassified material, Scott is getting pretty close to unravelling some of the mysteries of Oswald in Mexico City. Scott is followed (p . 10) by Anthony Frewin's continuing attempt to keep abreast of the Kennedy assassination literature. If you think you detect a faintly querulous tone, you're right: the signal to noise ratio is pretty low at the moment. Peter E. Newell (p . 12) has contributed an important essay on the hitherto almost entirely unknown Cold War CIA labour front, the Confederation of Free Trade Unionists in Exile. ...

... it goes it is quite interesting, initially rather amusing, to read the lunatic opinions of the far-right on almost everything from the Global Conspiracy to fluoride. But by about page 40 the succession of dotty prophets gets wearisome. The one section worth photocopying, perhaps, is that on the far-right's reactions to the death of Kennedy - essentially relief that a 'Marxist' had been got for the dirty deed. For their journals show that they initially expected to get the blame for the murder and were afraid of the consequences. What Kolky singularly fails to do is (a ) explain who these people are - no sociology/psychology, and (b ) account ...

... 1960s.) Hancock discusses all the stories which apparently show advance knowledge of the assassination – gossip on the racist right, in the mob and among the anti-Castro Cubans. Sample and Collum tell us in The Men on the Sixth Floor that an oil man they met in Houston told them that half of Texas knew that LBJ had Kennedy killed. Is this plausible? I have no way of knowing. We know so little about Texas politics and organised crime in the period. For example, it is still not possible to say for certain how significant a figure Jack Ruby was in organised crime. There is little information on the relationship between the mob, law enforcement ...

For details of how to order it see the display ad in this issue. The Third Decade is a new journal devoted to the research into the assassination of President Kennedy. It is said occasionally that the JFK assassination research industry has long since turned into a fully-fledged academic subject with its own specialisms and sub-sets. This isn't really quite true but has become a more plausible claim with the appearance of The Third Decade. For of all the extant magazines/newsletters on the subject, ...

The British Army began expanding its psychological operations training facilities - for the first time including civil servants on its courses.
