One day in grade school or junior high, I came home from school with a statement that Pres. Kennedy was killed by someone else other than Lee Harvey Oswald.

        I can't remember what was actually said, or who told me.  My dad said No, some people say things like that, but it's all rumors, don't repeat it.

Usually my dad liked to talk about stuff, but he did not want to talk about that.

        I didn't mind -- I went forward to something else.  (Reruns of That Girl or Lucy might have been on...)

But I always remembered that conversation.

If we don't speak of it, everything will be better - ?

There's actually a book titled

JFK and the Unspeakable

written by James W. Douglass.

On You Tube there's a video:

JFK Assassination:  The Roger Craig Story.

        (In the space where they put the name of the channel, it's the same as the title of the video.)

It's 20 minutes long.

Roger Craig was a policeman in Dallas in November of 1963.  He tells his story -- his boss saying you are bystanders watching the motorcade, you are not to participate in any protection of the president.

        After the gunshots, everyone running toward the spot on Dealey Plaza where the president's car had been -- but two people running away...

[excerpt from Chapter One of JFK and the Unspeakable] --------------------

        Two critical questions converge at Kennedy's assassination.  The first is:  Why did his assassins risk exposure and a shameful downfall by covertly murdering a beloved president?  The second is:  Why was John Kennedy prepared to give his life for peace, when he saw death coming?

        The second question may be key to the first, because there is nothing so threatening to systemic evil as those willing to stand against it regardless of the consequences.  

So we will try to see this story initially through the life of John Kennedy, to understand why he became so threatening to the most powerful military-economic coalition in history that its wielders of power were willing to risk everything they had in order to kill him.
