[…] whereby we hate in others what we fear in ourselves. In a key moment of Stone’s Nixon, Anthony Hopkins, as Nixon, talks to a portrait of John Kennedy. ‘When they look at you, they see what they want to be; when they look at me they see what they are.’ The essence of Nixon’s […]
[…] on station in the Red Sea. The source remains unable to identify from which of two carriers the aircraft launched (both the USS Saratoga and the USS Kennedy were on station in the Red Sea during this time-frame: 24/25 February 1991). Nor is the source able to provide exact date of this mission. The […]
[…] reasonably presume that Denmark was not the only state to do this…. Is Google in bed with the spooks? John Simkin runs a large Website on the Kennedy assassination In October he sent me an e-mail, of which this is an extract. During my research on the JFK assassination I received information that an […]
[…] it comes to stumblefootedness and unthinking fealty to the neo-liberal line. Does it seem strange that I refer to neo-liberalism in the context of the King and Kennedy assassinations? I hope not. Assassination – normally of indigenous people in far-off places like Chiapas – is a powerful tool for keeping people toeing a certain […]
[…] ‘private information’ and ‘personal knowledge’. Thus John Bruce Lockhart’s entry for former Deputy Chief of MI6 and founder of Unison and Tory Action in the 1970s George Kennedy Young (‘…an outstanding figure with his great height red hair…’) rather magnanimously depicts him as ‘…at heart a militant Scottish covenanter, believing deeply in the rights […]

[…] doesn’t take the story back to the 1960s but the Walton book, Brothers, reviewed above, shows that the struggle between the Pentagon and civil America dominated the Kennedy Presidency; and it now looks entirely plausible to view post-war American history as centred around the problem created by the successful ending of the American depression […]
[…] confined location and under medical supervision.) Austin LaRocque and Charles Dyer, both former students at the Fernald State School, told a panel headed by Senator Edward M. Kennedy and Representative Edward Merkey that at that time they could not read or write and the researchers failed to obtain the full consent of them or […]
[…] 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 […]
