Investigating the Kennedy Assassination: Did Oswald ACT Alone? 0.9

In March 1964 the Dutch journalist Willem Oltmans (1925–2004) encountered Marguerite Oswald, Lee Harvey Oswald’s mother, at JFK International Airport. In April 1977, he found himself testifying before the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA). In the thirteen years between these two events, Oltmans conducted his own investigation into the assassination of John F. Kennedy—an undertaking that would bring him into contact with a host of individuals with prominent roles in the case, most notably George de Mohrenschildt (1911–1977), whose involvement with Oswald and whose own untimely death remain mysteries to this day. Reporting on the Kennedy Assassination is Oltmans’s account of his investigation, published here for the first time in English. Combining personal memoir and factual reporting, the book chronicles the journalist’s interviews with figures such as Jim Garrison and Cyril Wecht, his long and complicated friendship with de Mohrenschildt and his wife, and his own whirlwind experience in the media spotlight. Most saliently, Reporting on the Kennedy Assassination offers an intimate look at Oltmans’s collaboration with de Mohrenschildt on the book that would later become Lee Harvey Oswald as I Knew Him, and at the circumstances surrounding de Mohrenschildt’s death and his possible implication in Oswald’s actions. Systematically annotated and fact-checked, with an insightful introduction from editor Michael Rinella and a wealth of rare photographs and letters, this book provides a fascinating portrait of one of the twentieth century’s most controversial journalists even as it completes a critical chapter in the investigation of the Kennedy assassination.

Images of the assassination of John F. Kennedy are burned deeply into the memories of millions who watched the events of November 1963 unfold live on television. Never before had America seen an event of this magnitude as it happened. But what is it we remember? How did the near chaos of the shooting and its aftermath get transformed into a seamless story of epic proportions? In this book, Barbie Zelizer explores the way we learned about and came to make sense of the killing of the president. Covering the Body (the title refers to the charge given journalists to follow a president) is a powerful reassessment of the media's role in shaping our collective memory of the assassination—at the same time as it used the assassination coverage to legitimize its own role as official interpreter of American reality. Of the more than fifty reporters covering Kennedy in Dallas, no one actually saw the assassination. And faced with a monumentally important story that was continuously breaking, most journalists had no time to verify leads or substantiate reports. Rather, they took discrete moments of their stories and turned them into one coherent narrative, blurring what was and was not "professional" about their coverage. Through incisive analyses of the many accounts and investigations in the years since the shooting, Zelizer reveals how journalists used the assassination not just to relay the news but to address the issues they saw as central to the profession and to promote themselves as cultural authorities. Indeed, argues Zelizer, these motivations are still alive and are at the core of the controversy surrounding Oliver Stone's movie, JFK. At its heart, Covering the Body raises serious questions about the role of the media in defining our reality, and shaping our myths and memories. In tracing how journalists attempted to answer questions that still trouble most Americans, Zelizer offers a fascinating analysis of the role of the media as cultural authorities.

On November 22, 1963, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy changed the course of history. Since that time a continuing debate has raged over who fired the fatal shots and whether a conspiracy existed involving a number of people plotting to kill the President. Among the hundreds of people who waited in Dealy Plaza for the motorcade to pass, only one person was able to identify Lee Harvey Oswald as the lone gunman firing from the Texas School Book Depository. Howard Brenna was seated directly in front of the building and was able to get a clear view of the assassin as he fired at the President’s car. Mr. Brennan testified before the Warren Commission that he was able to see clearly the gunman who ended the life of President Kennedy. For over twenty years Howard kept the true account of the fateful day to himself. Other than the Warren Commission, and a bried statement on CBS television network, he refused all other interviews. In 1983 his pastor, the Rev. Edward Cherryholmes

A reexamination of the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy presents new evidence that suggests that Sirhan could not possibly have acted alone and calls for a reopening of the case.

Unread book in perfect condition.

This book explains how U.S. globalists in the Department of State of the Eisenhower administration ignored the warnings of four American ambassadors that Fidel Castro’s 26th of July movement was infiltrated by communists. Members of the Council of Foreign Relations in the Department of State and the mainstream media were involved in bringing Castro to power in 1959. Deep State globalist officials in the Kennedy administration were responsible for the failure of the Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961. The plan to invade Cuba, prepared by the CIA and approved by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was brilliant and had a very real chance of overthrowing the mass-murdering Cuban communist regime. However, the plan was drastically changed to insure the defeat of the brave soldiers of the Brigade 2506. The author discusses who were involved in the Kennedy assassination. He points out how, after the failure at the Bay of Pigs, President Kennedy and his brother worked with leaders of the Brigade 2506 to bring regime change in Cuba. The author describes how Fidel Castro, the Mafia, and rogue Soviet KGB operatives were responsible for the crime of the century. The support of Pope Francis for the Marxist Catholic Church theology of liberation is discussed in the book. The possible sonic, ultrasonic, and neuro-weapon attacks against U.S. diplomats and their families in Cuba are described. Lastly, the author analyzes the President Trump’s new Cuban policy and recommends regime change strategies against the brutal regimes of Cuba and Venezuela.

President John F. Kennedys assassination is the most studied murder investigation of the 21st century, yet it remains plagued by questions and a variety of unproven theories. Regardless of how tenacious and believable an enduring claim may be, if lacking historical or scientific sustenance, it is a myth. While these intriguing, but unverifiable suppositions gather attention, they detract from the quality of information essential to explain this mysterious homicide. Myths are superficial, have no investigative depth and ask the reader to take a leap of faith that having supporting scientific evidence does not require. John F. Kennedy said, "The great enemy of truth is very often not the lie - deliberate, contrived and dishonest - but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic." Filtering long held beliefs in the Kennedy assassination through contemporary, reliable, established scientific facts will help to dispel myths; the very thing Kennedy described as the great enemy of truth. Enemy of the Truth utilizes various forensic disciplines to dispel assassination mythologies, including simultaneous headshots, where the shooter for the fatal head shot was located, if the limousine stopped and more.
