Oswald's Tale by Norman Mailer, Reclaiming History by Vincent Bugliosi, Brothers by David Talbot
With Oswald's Ghost, director Robert Stone, offers an unprecedented deconstruction of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, uncovering how this single event forever changed the face of American culture and why it continues to plague the nation's psyche. The 90-minute film features interviews with authors Norman Mailer and Edward J. Epstein, politician Gary Hart news anchor Dan Rather, activist Tom Hayden, attorney Mark Lane, and others. Using a wealth of archival material, much of it never before publicly seen or heard, Stone chronicles America's forty-year obsession with the pivotal event of a generation. Quietly implicit throughout the film is a haunting parallel to 9/11 and its aftermath.
More than forty years after his death, seventy percent of Americans continue to believe that the 46-year-old President's murder was the result of a conspiracy. Did Lee Harvey Oswald, a twenty-four-year-old former marine and communist sympathizer, act alone? Was he influenced by Cuban dictator Fidel Castro or a rogue element of the CIA? Did the KGB or the Russian government order the killing? "How could someone as inconsequential as Lee Harvey Oswald have killed someone as consequential as John F. Kennedy?" asks historian Robert Dallek in the film. It is that seemingly unanswerable question that continues to haunt us.
"This is a film about how we absorbed and responded to the trauma and shock of being inexplicably-and repeatedly-robbed of our sense idealism, optimism and security," says Stone. "In the past six years, we've watched a new generation of Americans experience that same trauma." While there may never be a last word on the Kennedy assassination, Oswald's Ghost is as close to a definitive account as has ever been made of what the assassination did to America.
The Lie That Linked CIA to the Kennedy Assassination The Power of Disinformation
Max Holland
On 2 June 1961, just weeks after the Bay of Pigs debacle, the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee convened to take testimony from Richard M. Helms, then an assistant deputy director of the Central Intelligence Agency. In those halcyon days of the Agency’s relationship with Congress, it was rare for a CIA official to give a presentation that senators had every intention of making public. The subcommittee, dominated by some of the fiercest anti-Communist members of the Senate, undoubtedly wanted to help repair the Agency’s tarnished image. The hearing, entitled “Communist Forgeries,” would surely remind Americans of the threat that Communism posed to Western interests and the Agency’s frontline role in containing that threat.[1]
Helms began his testimony by describing an episode that had just faded from the headlines. It proved just how virulent and resilient a lie can be when everything around it seems to fall into place. Although Helms never used the precise term, the scheme he described would eventually become better known by its KGB appellation: dezinformatsiya or disinformation.
For years, Soviet propagandists had sought to impugn the United States by linking it to France’s brutal colonial war in Algeria. The effort was a mediocre success until 22 April 1961, when four Algerian-based generals organized a putsch against President Charles de Gaulle, who was trying to extract France from the seven-year conflict. Coincidentally, on

At a “Great Conversations” event at the University of Minnesota last night, legendary investigative reporter Seymour Hersh may have made a little more news than he intended by talking about new alleged instances of domestic spying by the CIA, and about an ongoing covert military operation that he called an “executive assassination ring.”
Hersh spoke with great confidence about these findings from his current reporting, which he hasn’t written about yet.
In an email exchange afterward, Hersh said that his statements were “an honest response

Kissinger claimed that the prospect of a nuclear Iran would only result in the spread of nuclear weapons to the Middle East. Posted May 19, 2008 09:40 AM PST Category: MIDDLE EAST
Memo to Henry Kissinger: the reason for a potential nuclear weapons rush by Middle Eastern Countries has nothing to do with Iran: the leaders of other Middle Eastern countries have seen what can happen to them if a country (like Iraq) does not have a nuclear deterrent.
The US has pushed these countries in this direction through its attack against - and occupation of - Iraq and Afghanistan.
Can one blame other countries in the region for not wanting this to happen to them?
