Assassination
of President Kennedy: A detailed look at the assassination of
President John F. Kennedy. There are biographies of 554 people involved
in the case: Major Figures (160), Important Witnesses (68), Investigators
(174) and Possible Conspirators (152). Other sections include: Reports
(4), Organizations and Operations (28) and Key Issues (10). The website
also looks at the possibility that different organizations such as
the Mafia, CIA, FBI, Secret Service, KGB and the John Birch Society
might have been involved in the planning of the assassination. Other
possibilities such as anti-Castro activists, Texas oil millionaires
and the Warren Commission's lone-gunman theory are also looked at.
The website has an activity section and a forum where students and
teachers can enter into debate with the author of the material, other
investigators and witnesses to the events of 1963.
JFK
Assassination Debate: This website enables people interested in
the most important murder case of the 20th century to ask questions
and to submit comments on the case. Recent discussions have concerned
CIA Disinformation, Deaths of Witnesses, Don B. Reynolds and LBJ,
James Files, Who
killed JFK?, John Martino, Zapruder Film, Robert Kennedy and
the Death of JFK,
Lee Bowers, Billie Sol Estes, William Pawley, Earlene Roberts, David
Sanchez Morales, Buddy Walthers, William Pitzer and the Men Who Killed
Kennedy television series. If you have views
on this subject, register
with the International Education Forum and join the debate.
Photographic
Archive of the Assassination of JFK: James Richards has studied
the assassination of John F. Kennedy for the last 15 years. During
this time he has established a large collection of photographs on
the subject. The function of this website is to present photographic
images relating to the assassination of John F. Kennedy. The images
presented here cover many aspects including material captured on the
day, to suspects, organizations and connected individuals who played
a part in history. This ongoing project so far includes photographs
of Operation Tilt, Interpen, Alpha 66, Dealey Plaza, Assassination Aftermath, Lee Harvey Oswald, Jack Ruby, JFK's Visit To Miami Stadium, Presidential Motorcade, Dallas Police Department, Organized Crime and Connections, CIA Personnel, Agents & Assets and Anti-Castro Personnel.
Ecker’s
JFK Webpage: This site by writer Ronald L. Ecker provides links
to some of the best JFK assassination sites, including the Zapruder
film, an article on the film’s authenticity, D.B. Thomas’s
study of the acoustical evidence, and the compelling evidence presented
by staff analyst Doug Horne of the Assassination Records Review Board
that two different brains were examined by the JFK pathologists. Also
included are articles by Ecker on the mysterious Umbrella Man, the
possible Mafia connection to the murder, the trip to Japan by JFK’s
Cabinet on the day of the assassination, and a speculative look, as
Lee Harvey Oswald might write it himself, at who did it and why and
what it means for American democracy.
JFK
Assassination Image Galleries: In Robin Unger's excellent website
you can find a series of galleries: Dealey Plaza (images showing the
motorcade, and the confusion which surrounded the bystanders after
the assassination; Bethesda Autopsy ( the autopsy performed on Kennedy
at Bethesda Naval Hospital); Parkland Hospital (crowds outside the
hospital, and the presidents limousine after the assassination); Dallas
Police Department (photographs inside the DPD); Air Force One (inside
AF1 at love field and the arrival of JFK's coffin); Texas School Book
Depository (images showing the inside of the TSBD); Lee Harvey Oswald
(photographs of his assassination and autopsy photo) and Mixed Images
(Babushka Lady, Umbrella Man, etc.)
Coup
D'Etat in America: Alan J. Weberman's website details the tramp
theory of the Kennedy Assassination. According to Weberman: "There
have been many attempts to destroy this theory, most notably by Oliver
Buck Revell who floated a false news story alleging that the tramps
had been identified when FBI documents clearly indicated the tramps
who Revell named were picked up shortly after the Kennedy assassination
and the second set of tramps, who are the subject of my study, were
picked up about an hour after the killing. What I have learned is
that one person cannot fight the FBI, the CIA and the rest of the
establishment intent on covering up the fragility of American democracy
during the Cold War. What I have witnessed boggles my mind - threats,
drugging of a Congressmen, phony photo analysis's, Senators kicked
upstairs to get them off the investigation, lawsuits, the Director
of the FBI ordered my investigation quashed on paper, talking to the
Washington Post to kill stories on and on."
Martin
Shackleford Archive: Martin
Shackleford has
investigated the assassination of John
F. Kennedy for
over 30 years. His primary focus has been on the photographic evidence.
He has also written a large number of articles on the case and for
many years was a major contributor to Fair
Play Magazine.
This website provides access to some of these articles. This includes
articles on Gerald Posner, Oswald's defection to the Soviet Union,
Clay Shaw's involvement in anti-Castro activities in New Orleans and
the failure of the HSCA to resolve the medical issues in the assassination.
Warren
Commission:
After
the death of John F. Kennedy, his deputy, Lyndon
B. Johnson,
was appointed president. He immediately set up a commission to "ascertain,
evaluate and report upon the facts relating to the assassination of
the late President John F. Kennedy." The seven man commission
was headed by Chief Justice Earl Warren and included figures such
as Gerald Ford, John J. McCloy and John Sherman Cooper. Ten months
later the Warren Commission reached the conclusion that the shots
which killed President Kennedy and wounded Governor Connally were
fired by Lee Harvey Oswald. The online version of the report allows
you to discover how the Warren Commission came to this decision.
House
Select Committee on Assassinations: In 1978 a committee in the
United States was set up to look into the assassination of John F.
Kennedy. The report is now available on the web and includes the testimony
of John Connally, Nellie Connally, Marina Oswald, Earl Ruby, Santos
Trafficante, Richard Helms, Dr. Cyril H. Wecht, Gerald Ford, John
J. McCloy, John Sherman Cooper,
Nicholas Katzenbach, Richad Helms, Thomas J. Kelley, J. Lee Rankin,
Dr Charles S. Petty, Jacqueline Hess and Jack Revill.
Kennedy
Assassination: Ever since the death of John F. Kennedy on 22nd
November 1963 investigators have speculated on the people responsible.
This website provides a collection of articles on the subject including
The Special Group (Sue Morrison), Jeff Orr (Cover Up), Dirty Politics
(Mark Edwards), Magic Bullet (Mary Tracy), Vietnam Connection (Mat
Wilson) and Secret Service (Vince Palamara).
Assassination
of John F. Kennedy: John McAdams' website provides a comprehensive
overview of the issues, with pages on Dealey Plaza, the Single Bullet
Theory, Lee Harvey Oswald, Jack Ruby, the movie "JFK," Jim
Garrison's New Orleans investigation, and theories linking the assassination
to the CIA and the Vietnam War. A key purpose of the site is to debunk
the conspiracy theories and conspiracy factoids that have dominated
public perceptions of the assassination. Thus it is especially useful
to people who have read mostly conspiracy books, or seen one or more
conspiracy videos, or seen the movie "JFK" and want to know
the "rest of the story." There are numerous primary sources,
including Oswald's own political writings, witness testimony, FBI
reports, video and audio clips, and numerous photos.
Prouty
Reference Site: Colonel L. Fletcher Prouty spent 9 of his 23 year
military career in the Pentagon. In 1955 he was appointed the first "Focal Point" officer between the CIA and the Air Force
for Clandestine Operations per National Security Council. In this
capacity Prouty was at the nerve center of the Military-Industrial
Complex at a time unequalled in American History. He has written on
these subjects, about the JFK assassination, the Cold War period,
and Vietnamese warfare, and the existence of a "Secret Team".
This website is a focal point where researchers can locate and retrieve
articles, books, videos, and tapes on a variety of subjects which
Fletcher has written and participated in.
The
Murder of President Kennedy: Nearly 40 years later, the historical
truth of the assassination of President Kennedy remains unresolved.
While the passage of time has certainly muted the urgency of the debate,
there are still few historical questions which engender as much interest
and passion as the proverbial question: Who killed JFK? In this article
by Rex Bradford looks at some of the evidence that has become available
since the passing of the 1992 JFK Assassination Records Collection
Act. Bradford ends his excellent article with the words: "In
the end, the question "who killed JFK?" is not the most
important question anyway. How our society has failed itself miserably
by never even attempting to find the real killers, and how it has
failed to come to grips with the obvious reality of a powerful conspiracy
and subsequent cover-up—these are the real issues which matter
nearly forty years later."
JFK
Assassination Testimony: This website is an attempt to collect
together the testimony of those who appeared before the Warren Commission
and the House
Select Committee on Assassinations. The material
is organized under the following headings: Autopsy, Ballistics, CIA,
Dallas Police Department, Dealey Plaza, FBI, Media, New Orleans, Oswalds,
Parkland Hospital, Presidential Limo, Secret Service, State Department,
Tippit Shooting and the U.S. Marine Corps.
History
Matters Archive: This excellent reference site brings to the electronic
realm scanned images of paper reports, transcripts, and other documents,
along with streaming audio and photographs. Much of this material
has been declassified since the passage of the 1992 JFK Assassination
Records Collection Act. These new documents contain a wealth of surprising
material which will change the debate about the Presidency of John
F. Kennedy as well as his murder. Two main categories of electronic
documents and related materials are now available. The first is records
directly relating to the assassination of President Kennedy and its
subsequent investigations, and includes much new material released
by the Assassination Records Review Board. The second set consists
of records related to Vietnam foreign policy during the Kennedy administration,
which contain surprising "new" facts regarding 1963 policy.
Deep
Politics: Peter Dale Scott, a former Canadian diplomat and English
Professor at the University of California, Berkeley, has been called
the "dean" of JFK assassination research, having engaged
in scholarly research and writings on the topic for three decades.
Books such as Deep Politics and the Death of JFK focus on the "deep
politics" of the assassination and the Kennedy era. Dr. Scott
excels at putting the assassination into the larger and too-often
obscured political context, tracing the hidden political connections
between relevant figures in the case, and dissecting motives for cover.At
his website you can access a lot of his writings on this fascinating
subject.
Dealey
Plaza Revisited: Although the assassination of President John
F. Kennedy occurred 40 years ago, the controversy over the events
surrounding the assassination has never died down. This website was
produced by Helen Thompson of Texas Monthly. She visits the crucial
sites connected with the assassination, from Lee Harvey Oswald's boarding
house on West Beckley to the site of the infamous backyard photographs.
The tour of Dealey Plaza provides you with photographs and descriptions
of these sites, along with comments from four assassination experts
about the importance of events that took place in Dallas on 22nd November,
1963.
Nook
of Eclectic Inquiry: John Marsland holds strong opinions on the
assassination of John F. Kennedy. "The assassination of John
F. Kennedy was not only a capital crime, but one which burgled Americans
of their presidential vote - for on 22 November 1963 the government
of the United States was changed, with no open polls, nor any votes
cast." The website includes the Warren Commission Executive Session
Transcripts, the Autopsy Reports of Lee Harvey Oswald & J. D.
Tippit, the Rockefeller Commission Report, Assassination Records Review
Board and details of Jack Ruby's telephone calls.
Real
History Archives: Lisa Pease established the Real History Archives
in 1993. She is fully committed to the idea that there are dark forces
running the United States. "This site exists because we are not
being told the truth about our history. Are you under the impression
that Oswald killed Kennedy? That the Media is independent? That the
CIA never operates without presidential authority? If so, you need
to peruse these archives and find out what you've been missing."
Pease argues that "it's time for those of us who care about our
future to start reclaiming our past."
JFK:
Breaking the News: Hugh Aynesworth covered the assassination of
President John
F. Kennedy
for theDallas
Morning News. Over the next few months he investigated the
links between Lee Harvey Oswald
and the Federal Bureau of Investigation and reported on the trial
of Jack
Ruby.
Aynesworth was also one of the first people to interview Marina Oswald.
Aynesworth was a strong supporter of the "lone assassin theory"
and led the attacks on conspiracy theorists
such as Mark Lane and Jim Garrison.
On his website you can find extracts from his latest book, JFK:
Breaking the News.
Unconventional
Warrior: In 1963 Daniel Marvin volunteered for Counter Insurgency
and Guerrilla Warfare training. As a member of the Special Operations
Forces, he was involved in assassinating enemies of the United States.
In May 1995, Marvin claimed to have been solicited by an agent of
the Central Intelligence Agency
to "terminate" William Pitzer,
a key witness to the autopsy of President John F. Kennedy. On his
website Marvin, the author of the Expendable Elite, provides details
of his life as a soldier and secret agent.
The
Men Who Killed Kennedy: Since 1988 Nigel Turner has produced a
series of television documentaries under the heading: The Men Who
Killed Kennedy. The latest of these documentaries is called the Love
Affair and includes a long interview with Judyth Baker. In 1963 Baker
moved to New Orleans and became involved in a CIA project to kill
Fidel
Castro.
In this programme Baker claims that this conspiracy involved Lee Harvey
Oswald, David Ferrie and Dr. Mary Sherman. In her interview, Baker
explains how some members of this group took part in the assassination
of John F. Kennedy. In this detailed article, John MacAdams takes
a critical look at Judyth Baker's story.
The
Kennedy Assassination: It has been called the crime of the century.
On November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy had his life ended
by an assassin's bullet, as he rode in a motorcade through the streets
of Dallas, Texas. No crime has stirred more controversy in the annals
of history, even from inside the government itself. In 1964, the Warren
Commission found that Kennedy was the victim of a sole assassin, Lee
Harvey Oswald. The author of this website disagrees and supports the
view that a group of professional killers from outside the U.S., hired
by the Mafia, carried out the assassination.
The
Taking of America: Richard E. Sprague first published 'The Taking
of America' in 1976. He has now placed an updated version on the web.
As he says in his introduction: "This book is not about assassinations,
at least not solely about assassinations. It is not just another book
about who murdered President Kennedy or how or why. It is a book about
power, about who really controls the United States policies, especially
foreign policies. It is a book about the process of control through
the manipulation of the American presidency and the presidential election
process. The objective of the book is to expose the clandestine, secret,
tricky methods and weapons used for this manipulation, and to reveal
the degree to which these have been hidden from the American public."
Electronic
Assassinations Newsletter: Each issue of this excellent journal
concentrates on a theme or specialized topic relating to cold war
era political assassinations in the United States. The first issue
took a close look at Gerald Posner and his 1993 book Case Closed.
According to the editor of this newsletter: "Case Closed was
a slick, lawyerly presentation of the lone assassin theory in the
death of JFK." Issue 2 is entitled New Discoveries in Recently
Released Assassination Files and includes articles such as CIA Files
and the Pre-Assassination Framing of Lee Harvey Oswald (Peter Dale
Scott) and The House Select Committee on Assassinations and the Autopsy
Photographic Evidence (Gary L. Aguilar).
JFK
Lancer: The goal of JFK Lancer Productions is to make research
materials concerning President John F. Kennedy's assassination easily
available to everyone. Our prime concern is the accuracy of history
and the true story of the turbulent 1960s. The organization sponsors
special events both for the research community and for young people
and educators to further this investigation. JFK Lancer gives two
Scholarship awards each year, one for a teacher and one for a student,
to those who teach and study the assassination and presidency of JFK.
Assassination
Science: James H. Fetzer is the author of several books on the
Kennedy Assassination. His website contains information on a whole
range of subjects. Articles include, Zapruder Film Hoax, Pearl Harbor,
Truth vs. Fiction, Enron and 9/11, Assassination as a Tool of Fascism,
Decoding Propaganda, America's Matrix, Fascism in America, Freedom
and Security, Conspiracy Theories, Bogus War on Terrorism, Assassination

Dealey
Plaza: This professionally surveyed, scaled map of Dealey Plaza
includes important witnesses locations and observations, theorized
assassins locations (not all of which are necessarily valid), attack
artifacts, and other valuable information. Below the Dealey Plaza
map are 3 additional important charts and diagrams. At almost 700k
bytes it takes a couple minutes to completely load utilizing a 56k
modem. The drawing is based on 29+ years of research into the case
by Don Roberdeau (including over 4200 personally documented persons).
JFK
Murder Solved: In 1992, a Beaumont, Texas FBI agent, Zack Shelton,
informed Houston criminal attorney Don Ervin that there was a man
in prison that he believed to have knowledge of the assassination
of John F. Kennedy. James E. Files claimed that he had been recruited
by David Atlee Phillips of the CIA. According to Files others involved
in the assassination included Sam Giancana, Johnny Rosselli and Charles
Nicoletti. This websites provides a detailed study of the case including
the confessions of James Files and Chauncey Holt.
Exhumation
of Lee Harvey Oswald: In
1975 Michael Eddowes, an English solicitor, published a book entitled
In
his book, Khrushchev Killed Kennedy. Eddowes argued that President
Kennedy had been killed by a Soviet agent impersonating Lee Harvey
Oswald. It was later revealed that the book had been financed by the
Texas oil billionaire, H. L. Hunt who was himself a suspected of being
involved in the assassination.
After pressure from Eddowes and his friends Oswald's body was eventually
exhumed
on 4th October, 1981.
This website provides a detailed account of the story.
Academic
JFK Assassination Site: Kenneth A. Rahn is currently Professor
Emeritus of Oceanography Center for Atmospheric Chemistry Studies
at the University of Rhode Island. He is also interested in the assassination
of John
F. Kennedy
and is the author of this
website. It takes its "academic" name from the fact that
it attempts to approach the assassination in a way that is as scholarly,
dignified, and rigorous as possible. This site presents a great deal
of material on all sides of the JFK assassination. However, according
to Rahn: " This site shows that the proper investigative techniques
lead inevitably to the strong conclusions that JFK was almost certainly
killed by a lone gunman firing from the Texas School Book Depository,
that he was almost certainly acting alone, and that he was almost
certainly Lee Harvey Oswald."
JFK
and Cuba: A few days before his assassination, President Kennedy
was planning a meeting with Cuban officials to negotiate the normalisation
of relations with Fidel Castro, according to a newly declassified
tape and White House documents. The rapprochement was cut off by the
assassination of Kennedy. This new evidence suggests that Castro saw
Kennedy's killing as a setback. He tried to restart a dialogue with
the next administration, but Lyndon Johnson was at first too concerned
about appearing soft on communism and later too distracted by Vietnam
to respond.
JFK
Assassination: Dr. Grover B. Proctor, Jr. is an historian and
university dean who is widely acknowledged as an expert on the assassination
of President John F. Kennedy. He has published numerous articles,
lectured extensively, and has frequently been consulted by print and
broadcast media. Several of these articles appear on his JFK Assassination
website. This includes Oliver Stone's JFK: An Historical Analysis,
The Raleigh Call, Mark Lane's Plausible Denial, Interview With Mark
Lane and Larry Howard: A Man Under Fire.
Dealey Plaza
UK: This website is run by a group of UK researchers into the
assassination of John F. Kennedy. It includes articles such as Wounds
to the Left of JFK’s Head (Russell Kent),The Last Words of Lee
Harvey Oswald (Mae Brussell), The Paper Bag That Never Was (Ian Griggs),
Network Anomalies (Vincent Palamara), For the Sake of Historical Accuracy
(Barry Keane), Meeting Warren Caster (Rick Caster) and The Kennedy Assassination: Beyond Conspiracy (Tony Austin).
Fair
Play Magazine: Between 1995 and 2000 John Kelin has produced Fair
Play, a bi-monthly magazine devoted to the JFK assassination. With
the help of Deanie Richards and the JFK Place website, 35 of these
magazine are now available online. This includes articles on Roger
Craig, Gaeton Fonzi, Lee Harvey Oswald in Mexico City, Ruth and Michael
Paine, HSCA and JFK's Skull Wound, Perry Russo, Shots, Trajectories
and Wounds, Sylvia Meagher, Richard Case Nagell, Grassy Knoll, James
Files, Zapruder Film, Single Bullet Theory and Kerry Thornley.
The
Men Who Killed Kennedy: Nigel Turner is the producer of the television
series, The Men Who Killed Kennedy. Made
for the Central Independent Television company, it started off a two-part
documentary broadcast in October, 1988. Three more installments were
made two years later. The sixth episode, The Truth Shall Set You Free,
was added in 1995. For
the 40th anniversary of the assassination Turner produced three more
installments. The last of these, The Guilty Men, caused a tremendous
stir, because it claimed that Lyndon Johnson was involved in the assassination
of JFK. Last week the History Channel promised never to show the documentary
again. This is the debate that has followed that decision.
JFK
Lancer Online: This is one of the largest websites on the life
and death of John F. Kennedy available in the web. This includes sections
on JFK: The Man, The President, JFK Speeches, Bay of Pigs and the
Cuban Missile Crisis. The main section deals with the assassination
of JFK and features articles by researchers such as Debra Conway,
Martin Shackelford, Doug Horne, Ian Griggs, George Michael Evica and
Vince Palamara. JFK Lancer is also the publisher of the Kennedy Assassination
Chronicles (1995-2002) and some of this material is now available
online.
JFK
Online: This website on John
F. Kennedy is
run by David Reitzes. Much of the material concerns the assassination
of Kennedy. Reitzes is highly critical of the research carried out
by people such as Jim
Garrison,
Nigel
Turner, David Lifton,
James
H. Fetzer
and David Mantik. His website also contains the interesting article
One Hundred Errors of Fact and Judgment in Oliver Stone's JFK. It
also includes reviews of books, documentaries and feature films on
the assassination.
John
McAdams: An Assessment: If you carry out a search on the web for
material on the assassination of John F. Kennedy you are likely to
soon arrive on John McAdams' website. McAdams is a university professor
who believes strongly that Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone, shot President
Kennedy. McAdams doesn't believe a conspiracy of any kind was involved
and that the Warren Commission (WC) was correct in all its essential
conclusions. Michael T. Griffith, is the author of the book Compelling
Evidence: A New Look at the Assassination of President Kennedy. In
this article he takes a close look at John McAdams' website.
The
Grand Subversion: "In the most critical periods of our nation's
history, there have always been those fringes of our society who have
sought to escape their own responsibility by finding a simple solution,
an appealing slogan, or a convenient scapegoat." This is a quotation
from John F. Kennedy that appears on this website on the assassination.
This very well-illustrated website includes articles on the Dealey
Plaza Witnesses, Parkland Hospital, Bethesda Autopsy, The Three Tramps,
J. D. Tippit Shooting, Dallas Police, Lee Oswald, Jack Ruby and the
Warren Commission.
Camera
Obscura Experiment: Probably, the ultimate, undeniable and much
more accurate experiment in purpose to break definitively a myth in
JFK assassination. The question is: Mary Moorman was she on the road
or on the grass when she shot her Polaroid picture? Consequently,
is the Zapruder Extant film faked or not, at least with regard to
the place where Mary Moorman was? Belgian Researcher Marcel Dehaeseleer
has been attempting to answer this question by experimenting with
a fundamental photographical principle called "Camera Obscura".
The experiment was conducted on the 20th Nov. 2003, on Dealey Plaza
by Rick Janowitz, Jack White and Scott Myers. This website describes
the results of this experiment.
Lyndon
Baines Johnson Library: Last week the LBJ Library released 23
hours of Johnson's telephone conversations recorded between April
and July 1966. The library has now made available a total of 464 hours
of phone conversations. Claudia Anderson, the library's senior archivist,
said Johnson was more of a phone person than a writer. In a conversation
with Supreme Court Justice Abe Fortas - a Johnson nominee to the court
- Johnson expressed concern that Robert Kennedy was using polls to
suggest a link between Johnson and the assassination of President
Kennedy. Johnson said pollster Lou Harris operated at the whim of
Robert Kennedy. "He's got everybody raising questions about it,"
Johnson said. "And 2 percent of them think that I did it."
Dark
Corners: This website currently describes three aspects ancillary
to the assassination of President Kennedy: the death of navy man William
B. Pitzer; faces of people in Dealey Plaza resembling men who have
been linked to the case; and the "sniper's nest." Also,
links are provided to: information on In the Eye of History: Bethesda
Hospital Medical Evidence in the JFK Assassination, a soon-to-be-published
book of interviews with William Law of witnesses to the Kennedy autopsy
(edited by Allan Eaglesham); and the web page of JFK/Deep Politics
Quarterly, a JFK research journal edited by Walt Brown.
Someone
Would Have Talked: Forty
years after John Kennedy's murder in Dallas, the event remains a part
of the American conscious. Polls show the majority of the public still
believes there was some sort of conspiracy involved in his assassination
and the average person thinks it just might be exposed once the government
releases all the confidential documents relating to the case. Larry
Hancock has spent the last few years examining the documents that
have been released and his book, Someone Would Have Talked, is the
best account we have
so far on the assassination of JFK. This website allows you to engage
in conversation with Larry Hancock about his research.
JFK
History: No crime in the history of this nation has been more
misrepresented and misunderstood than the assassination of President
John F. Kennedy. Robert Harris's website attempts to correct a few
errors and answer once and for all, the critical question of whether
this President was the victim of a conspiracy. The site has a great
deal of material on the Zapruder Film and includes an analysis of
all the shots that were fired during the attack. There is also an
excellent collection a of images and documents that relate to the
case.
JFK
Assassination Research: Clint Bradford's website is an ideal source
for JFK assassination research materials. This includes over 250 JFK-related
texts and files in a simple, "click and download" method.
Material is organized under headings such as Russian Documents, the
Zapruder Film,the Paschall Film, Scene of the Crime, Priscilla and
Lee, the Zavada Report, Dealey Plaza Photos, Kerry McCarthy and Captain
Fritz's Notes. Clint Bradford website also includes a popular chat
forum.
Kennedy
and Castro: Peter Kornbluh is a senior analyst at the National
Security Archive, a Washington-based organization of scholars who
work to uncover the secret history of American foreign policy. Over
the last 17 years, Kornbluh has utilized the Freedom of Information
Act and other means to delve into subjects such as the Cuban missile
crisis, the U.S. role in the 1973 Chilean coup, and the Iran-Contra
affair of the 1980s. That research was the genesis of the Discovery
Times documentary Kennedy & Castro: The Secret History. This website
includes an interview with Peter Kornbluh.
The
Commission: In the aftermath of the brutal assassination of US
President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963, seven Americans of
"unimpeachable" integrity were selected by US President
Lyndon B. Johnson to report to the American public on all of the facts
regarding the assassination, "as far as they can be known".
At the end of the term of "The President's Commission,"
(known unofficially as "The Warren Commission"), all transcripts
of the secret meetings of the seven Commissioners were originally
classified as Top Secret for 75 years, to have remained sealed from
the public until the year 2039! Through the legal challenges of private
citizens over a period of years, these transcripts were gradually
declassified without publicity or fanfare. Never published for the
public at large, the many hundreds of pages of verbatim discussion
have languished within the US National Archives for 40 years - largely
forgotten by history, awaiting a reader. This new film by Mark Sobel
takes the audience behind those closed doors to discover why US National
Security demanded that the matter remain Top Secret for 75 years.
Reasonable
Doubt in the Murder of JFK: Charles Wallace has established this
website to point to the evidence of a conspiracy in the assassination
of President John F. Kennedy for the benefit of students, researchers
and the interested public. He discovered a face in the sniper's nest
window set in the Tom Dillard photograph that was taken very shortly
after the last shot. He discovered to his dismay that this window
area on the original negative was destroyed while in the custody of
the federal government. He conducted an investigation into the shooting
and has become convinced Oswald knew nothing about the assassination
until he realized he had been made the patsy for the crime.
The
Medium, the Message and the Myth: If historians
have a responsibility to be ‘myth-slayers’, how do history
teachers guard against our pupils swallowing whole chunks of history
by Hollywood? How do we encourage pupils to apply the same critical
thinking skills to a film as they would a written text? This
seminar by Dale Banham (Holbrook High School, Suffolk) and Russell
Hall (Kesgrave High School, Suffolk) uses an in-depth study of JFK
to explore how to encourage pupils to think about films at a deeper
level, integrate film clips into serious in-depth enquiry work, and
to use film to broaden pupils’ understanding of historical interpretations
If
you want to take part in this seminar, register
with the Education Forum and join the debate.
J.P.
Tippit: Oak Cliff Press has announced the launch of a comprehensive
website honoring the life and memory of Dallas Police Officer J.D.
Tippit who was murdered on November 22, 1963, forty-five minutes after
the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Dale K. Myers, an
award-winning animator and author, produced the website after working
closely with family and friends of the slain patrolman. "This
is a long overdue honor that I'm very proud to be a part of,"
Myers said. "Unfortunately, much of the information available
on the Internet today regarding Officer Tippit's life and death is
completely false. Hopefully, this website will bring a much needed
dose of reality to the subject."
Cuban
Information Archives: The main purpose of the Cuban Information
Archives is to provide primary source materials pertaining to Cuban
Exile activities as they pertain to their struggle to wrestle Cuba
from Fidel Castro. As Gordon Winslow, the founder of this website
points out: "The propaganda machines of Cuba, the Cuban Exile
community and the United States Government have added to the misunderstanding.
The documents presented here are one way to help the reader sift through
that "propaganda", even though many of the documents are
propaganda.... To distinguish what is real and what is fiction is
left to the reader by placing references for the documents and by
presenting contradictory documents. Readers can see where the errors,
accidental and designed, are made and have the opportunity to either
accept or reject a particular opinion."
