[…] there was no ‘Soviet threat’. The revisionist historians of the Cold War were right; and those within the American political system – the obvious examples being presidents Kennedy and Carter – who tried to slow/stop the nuclear arms race, were right. But Kennedy was killed (if not by the Pentagon, by one of the […]
[…] book reviewed below. 2 Rolling Stone, 1 May 2006, published a long, detailed account of the conventional theft story, ‘Was the 2004 Election Stolen?’ by Robert F. Kennedy Jr..(And yes, he is one of those Kennedys.) A recent detailed study of the hackability of the Diebold voting machine is Ariel J. Feldman, J. Alex […]
[…] conspiracy buff, and in the late 1970s he bought a failing underground paper (the LA Free Press, I think) and turned it over to a group of Kennedy assassination buffs. They produced a one-off issue devoted to the assassination, included in which was the offer of $1,000, 000 from Flynt for information leading to […]
[…] with British politics as with certain of its discrete institutions’. Presumably SIS. See Korbonski p. 20. Later American participants included Robert MacNamara, US Secretary of Defence under Kennedy and Johnson (earlier chair of the Ford Motor Company, and later President of the World Bank); and McGeorge Bundy, who worked on the Marshall Plan, was […]
[…] made the article untimely was the fact that its publication coincided neatly with the completion of the Warren Commission’s report on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. That report, which validated the FBI’s findings that the President had been murdered by a lone nut, was submitted to the Johnson White House on Sept. […]
[…] imperialist essay (which appeared in successive iterations up to 1919 and 1943) shaped Anglo-American policy ever afterwards, he is not alone. For example, Harvard historian Paul M. Kennedy, writing in The Guardian in mid-2004, made a parallel claim. ‘Right now,’ Kennedy wrote, ‘with hundreds of thousands of US troops in the Eurasian rimlands and […]
[…] from the way the evidence was given to me by past and serving soldiers that it could not have been engineered by the MOD.” Shades of Robert Kennedy! In 1963, immediately after his brother’s assassination, Robert Kennedy is said to have asked the then head of the CIA, John McCone, if the agency had […]
[…] government funds. This seemed to imply that Dr Michel-Titus had acted as a conduit for the money. Other money was received via someone called Lt. Colonel Douglas Kennedy, about whom I have no knowledge. In 1980 I was made a signatory for TA’s bank account with Clydesdale Bank, but never signed a cheque and […]
[…] latter ground alone is too often simply irrational, usually made for defensive reasons. (Just about the hardest thing most people can do is change their mind.) The Kennedy assassination and the UFO story are both examples of no-go areas for most respectable intellectuals. (When Scott Newton sent me the review essay on the Garrison […]
[…] apparently unaware of JFK’s plan to pull the US out of Vietnam. ‘Nor is there any reasons to suppose that things would have been any different had Kennedy not been killed, for he was every bit as rigid a Cold Warrior as Johnson.’ (p. 188) This simply is not true and the fact that […]
