[…] large rehashes of the LBJ-dunnit thesis. One is by Ron Unz, who does a competent job running through the literature.3 Much better, though, is M. C. Armstrong’s ‘Murder Most Foul: The Role of Lyndon Johnson in the Murder of John F. Kennedy’,4 which presents the evidence (but ignores some of the difficulties). Armstrong joins […]
[PDF file]: […] framing a live Oswald would have been impossible: he would have talked of his activities with the FBI and CIA and the plan must have included Oswald’s murder. (The fact that Oswald went home after the shooting to pick up his revolver suggests that he had some inkling that he might be in danger.) […]
[…] talk about it.21 What a pity then that RFK Jr. has chosen to lead the American opposition to vaccines. For this will dominate the conversation, not the murder of his uncle. Why he has gone down this road is unclear to me. I commented on his anti-vaxx writing in this column in Lobster 84 […]

[PDF file]: […] this is not one way traffic – but this does not criminalise them. Russian cyber warriors are ‘criminals’; their Chinese equivalents are working for their country. The murder of a British businessman who worked in China and was associated with the now disgraced Bo Xilai, the former Communist Party chief of Chongqing who was […]

Ahmad Khan Rahami is in custody, charged with murder for having planted the explosive devices in Manhattan and New Jersey (as well as apparently abandoning some more bombs in a New Jersey train). Depressingly, it […]

In 1960, in the twilight of the colonial empires, both Holden and Bonnett worked in […]
[PDF file]: […] at the time that the same network had been killing people in Texas since 1951 (when Wallace received a five year suspended sentence for a first degree murder). In Estes’ version the JFK killing is merely one element in the wider scandal, the core of which were his secret payments to politicians, notably vice […]
[PDF file]: […] riot, JFK was listening to King’s oratory with a speechmaker’s ear, and murmuring: ‘That guy is really good.’ In Spring of 1964, a few months after JFK’s murder, Hoover shared with the shattered RFK selected recordings from bugs planted in MLK’s hotel rooms, which had at last captured decisive proof of King’s adulterous abandon.

[PDF file]: […] night Wallace at first denied that he had seen Lewis but then admitted that they had met as stated in the diary. Wallace was originally charged with murder but the trial judge, Mr Justice Kilber-Brown, directed that the charge be withdrawn because of the weakness 73 of the prosecution case. The trial was repeatedly […]
