James dieugenio jfk assassination conspiracy
We (mostly) kept JFK conspiracy talk out of our 11/22/63 episodes, as the story is best enjoyed on King's terms. We did, however, think it would be enriching to chat with some smart people about King's assertion that "it is very, very difficult for a reasonable person to believe" that Lee Harvey Oswald wasn't the lone shooter.
Previously, we spoke with Brendan James of Blowback about the book, Oswald, and King’s political evolution. You can find that episode just a bit further down the feed. Now, we're speaking with Jim DiEugenio, one of the leading experts on the political assassinations of the 1960s. Jim is the author of two books about the Kennedy Assassination, one of which was the basis for Oliver Stone’s documentary JFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass. He also has a new book out, The JFK Assassination Chokeholds and a website, KennedysandKing.com, that's loaded with resources.
Since Jim knows Kennedy scholarship like the back of his hand, we chatted with him about the research materials King cites in the afterword to 11/22/63, the ones that make him “98 to 99 percent” sure that Oswald acted alone. Jim also wanted to discuss an interview King did with filmmaker Errol Morris for The New York Times in November 2011, so it may be worth it to hit pause and give that interview a read before listening. The episode also contains spoilers for 11/22/63, in case that’s a concern.
We hope you enjoy.
Stay tuned for "Pt. 6: The Green Card Man" -- dropping this Friday.

The JFK Assassination Chokeholds: That Inescapably Prove There Was a Conspiracy
You might not agree with his conclusions but he doesn't stray outside permissible standards. He doesn't commune with the dead. He doesn't hang out at alien abduction conferences. He finds documents. He fills out FOIA requests. He does interviews. He engages critically with those things, analyzes their worth, and draws reasonable conclusions based upon what he uncovers.
This is a collection of essays by DiEugenio and four additional authors who pick apart the seams of the Warren Commission. There is no chronological scheme, each can be read independently of the next. There are a few flaws. The collection is clearly meant to be read as an ebook. I know this because my paperback edition recommended a couple times to click on a hyperlink.
The other flaw is that James DiEugenio is optimistic. He believes in an American republic that's always evolving- doing better. Ten years ago, I thought that was rather inspiring. Now, I feel that it is- dare I say?- quaint. My generation's motto is "Nothing good will every happen again." I believe in that motto very much.
Then again, I also believe in the promise of the Kennedys. I believe that there was a conspiracy to kill both Jack and Bobby. I believe it unfolded very much the way that DiEugenio has outlined. I don't need convincing there.
What I do need convincing is that there will be good things in the future. That is outside this book's purview but it is never out of sight. Unfortunately, I can't believe it. Things started going very wrong on November 22nd, 1963 but, we can't go back. We can't even rectify it now.
This is a great book, but a depressing one. Sometimes the truth does not set you

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In JFK Assassination Chokeholds, readers will find up to date evidence that would have compelled any jury to conclude that Oswald was not guilty beyond reasonable doubt, and that there is clear and convincing evidence of both a conspiracy and obstruction of justice to cover it up. The approach taken by the contributors in this anthology, three of whom are attorneys complemented by two of the leading authorities in the field, focuses on sixty years of revelations that have been inescapably proven. There is no way around these matters, making them argumentative "chokeholds." The next time a historian, teacher, author or Warren Commission backer pushes the lone-nut assassin scenario, the reader will be able to counter with troubling questions, such as: Why was Oswald impersonated? Why did Ruby receive assistance in murdering Oswald? Why do an overwhelming number of investigation insiders not believe the Warren Commission conclusions? How can one explain the scandalous shenanigans around JFK's brain and the chain of custody for CE 399? And many other inexplicable facts that are a matter of record.On November 22, 1963, the world took a turn for the worse. JFK and everything he stood for was cruelly taken away from us. Hopefully the truth can help pave the way for a new direction. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.
