John Fitzgerald Kennedy (525)

Monika Wiesak has followed up her fine volume on the presidency of John F. Kennedy with a book about JFK's murder.  But it also includes a look at the RFK case and a glimpse into the psyche of John Kennedy Jr.
HSCA Deputy Counsel Robert Tanenbaum took a long time to write his book about the John F. Kennedy murder. But, in Jim DiEugenio's opinion, the author chose the wrong path to follow in that regard.

Video Talk of JFK Relevancy Today

Written by
At an exclusive conference in San Francisco, Jim DiEugenio lectures about why the JFK case is relevant today. One reason is because President Kennedy's ideas about the Middle East were visionary and objective, and tried to be fair to both sides. President Johnson, with help from Mathilde Krim, altered that policy beyond recognition, thus leading to the mess we have today.
Andrew Iler completes his two part milestone series on why, according to the ARRB's own rulings on final determinations, we should not be declassifying documents today. Is NARA part of this resistance?.
Matt Douhit reports on the news that the MSM did not want to disperse to the public.  The second Luna hearing has some very important people, informing the public of many key things about the JFK case that they never heard before and were never told to Congress.

Turning Point: The Vietnam War, Part 5

Written by
Luminat Media finishes their disappointing series on the Vietnam War by underplaying the evil done by Nixon and Kissinger in Cambodia and Laos, and in dragging on a conflict that could have ended in 1969. All because of the figurehead of Thieu.

Turning Point: The Vietnam War, Part 2

Written by
Turning Point continues with one of the most startling omissions ever in a documentary on the Vietnam War.  By jumping from 1956 to 1965, the film misses the monumental events of 1964, when Johnson broke from JFK and decided America would go to war with North Vietnam. Evidently, the filmmakers did not think this was important.

Turning Point: The Vietnam War, Part 1

Written by
Netflix is now showing a five part series on the Vietnam War that is just as poor as the PBS series by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick of 8 years ago. If we are to understand history, this  kind of programming is precisely what is not needed at this time.
The declassification process should have been concluded years ago. The Luna Committee should call John Tunheim and David Marwell to testify about its Final Determinations immediately.
Scott Reid explores another possibility of how Oswald got to FInland during his defection, or was it a diversion?
Jeff Meek is the only American journalist writing a regular column on the JFK case. This is his second collection of his work on important subjects like Gaeton Fonzi and Jim Gocheanaur.
Australian Paul Abbott has now penned the first book that is devoted almost completely to the murder of Lee Oswald by Jack Ruby. One has to wonder what took so long.  He makes the case against infamous Dallas cops; Patrick Dean and Blackie Harrison.
