WHO REALLY KILLED JFK?
by
DONALD A. JEFFRIES
It has been nineteen years since President John F. Kennedy
was murdered on a street in Dallas, Texasi Hundreds of books and
articles, from Buchanan to Lifton, have been written about that
tragic event. Nearly as many theories, at little variance with
one another, have been dished out for public consumption. Humbly
proclaiming my own familiarity with the subject, I offer a few
ideas for consideration.
Anyone who has read the classic assassination books by Lane,
Jones, Weisberg, Meagher, Thompson, etc. will come away with the
firm conviction that Lee Harvey Oswald could not have killed
anyone that day, let alone President Kennedy, It is that simple.
In fact, the evidence so inordinately points towards Oswald's
innocence that one wonders how a distinguished group like the •
Warren Commission could have left such nonsense in the public
record. Under the circumstances, it is only natural to become
possessed with the notion that any literate person, when exposed
to the evidence, will see a conspiracy. That such a conspiracy
is usually atributed to right-wing fringe elements is no more a
credit to the critics than is the indefensible record of the
Commission to those apologists who defend it, nevertheless.
Experience shows that to be confronted with the distortions,
inconsistencies, and obvious treachery of the official investigation
is to awaken, rudely and permanently. Knowing, as we do,
of the extent of dishonesty in the investigation, of the scores
of dead witnesses, is it not reasonable to examine the feasabil-ity
of extremist groups pulling off such a heinous crimej then
left untouched by an investigative body headed by the Chief
Justice Earl '.Varren, known to be very unsympathetic to all right-wing
political philosophy?
Of all the major participants in the cover-up, the media
are first and foremost. If not for their total submission to
higher powers, there would be no need for this newsletter or
this article, and all of us would have the answers we desire.
But, from the beginning, the media has played games with the
truth and made a mockery of our history.
Now, let's look at who has played the biggest roles in the
media cover-up. Newspapers? How about the New York Times? The
Washington Post? The L.A. Times? Magazines? Time? Life? Look?
Newsweek? The New Republic? T.V. and Radio stations? All of
them! Now do any of these stalwarts of the press have anti-
Castro Cubans sitting on their board of directors? Do the min-utemen
control the editorial content of these organizations?
If they do indeed control these powerful forces of communication,
they certainly haven't been successful'in putting across their
political views. All of the aforementioned voices speak with
a moderate to liberal bias. They are in accord with the John ^
Birch Society about as often as they agree with the Flat Earth Cmtinrntl,
