jfkThe Afro-Asian revolution of nationalism, the revolt against colonialism, the determination of people to control their national destinies … in my opinion the tragic failure of both Republican and Democratic administrations since World War II to comprehend the nature of this revolution, and its potentialities for good and evil, has reaped a bitter harvest today—and it is by rights and by necessity a major foreign policy campaign issue that has nothing to do with anti-communism.

~ John F. Kennedy, from a speech given during the Stevenson campaign, 1956

    Mary Bledsoe and the Bus - Part 1

    In this two part essay, Mr. Washburn raises genuine questions about the movements of Oswald after the assassination. Was he on the McWatters' bus? Was he on the Whaley cab? There are serious holes in both stories. And the Commission itself wondered about an imposter.

    Review of Countdown 1960 - Part 1

    Chris Wallace has assembled a truly awful book about the election of 1960 that uses very dubious sources in order to inflate Nixon and deflate Kennedy.

    Review of Countdown 1960 - Part 2

    Incredibly, Wallace uses Judy Exner and Sy Hersh as crucial sources to create a mythology about the election of 1960. Apparently not knowing that Hersh's book and Exner had already been discredited.

    On the Sixtieth Anniversary of the Warren Report

    On its 60th anniversary, Jim DiEugenio reminds us all of just how bad the Warren Report was and is. Plus how willingly the entire media at that time was willing to go along with it, without waiting for the 26 volumes of evidence it was based upon to arrive.

Political Assassinations of the 1960s

The sixties saw four significant political assassinations that have bled into history. These include the deaths of John F. Kennedy, Malcolm X., Martin Luther King Jr., and Robert F. Kennedy.

The tragedies shook Americans to the core – the political leaders they had seen a glimmer of hope ended up facing the same fate.

JFK’s death, perhaps, shook people the most.

To this day, Americans talk about their lost heroes in a golden light.

Here’s a short summary of political assassinations of the 1960s:

  1. On November 22, 1963, John F. Kennedy was shot by Lee Harvey Oswald while riding a motorcycle in Dallas, Texas.

  2. On February 21, 1965, Malcolm X was gunned down by three men.

  3. On April 4, 1968, Martin Luther King Jr. was hit by a sniper’s bullet while he was standing on the balcony in front of his room in Lorraine Motel, Memphis, Tennessee.

  4. On June 5, 1968, Robert F. Kennedy was shot shortly after midnight at the Ambassador Hotel, LA.
