Fri Doc: “The Second Gun”
Everybody agrees that Robert Kennedy was shot on June 4, 1968, in the pantry of the Ambassador Hotel here in Los Angeles. Everybody also agrees that Sirhan Sirhan was in the pantry firing a gun at the Senator. But after that, nobody agrees on much—not witnesses, not coroner Thomas Noguchi, and not the LAPD. A [...]
Continue reading...The JFK Assassination in two photographs
Friday, February 12, 2010
The assassinations of the 60s have been on my mind of late, thanks to these Beatle mysteries I’m writing (anybody interested in finding out when they’re coming out should email mikesnewbooks[at]gmail[dot]com). One of the most persistent canards about the JFK assassination is that it’s incredibly difficult to understand, and that one must do a ton [...]

Saturday, October 17, 2009
The CIA, that’s who. Today’s New York Times details Agency stonewalling over 295 documents relating to George Joannides, an agent working with anti-Castro Cubans out of JM/WAVE, their Miami station. Groups under Joannides’ direction “publicly clashed with” Lee Harvey Oswald. These clashes were some of the most significant ways that Oswald’s personal politics–in other words, [...]
Continue reading...A few thoughts on Teddy Kennedy
Thursday, August 27, 2009
This blog is rapidly becoming a parade of thoughts on the recent dead. What can I say except welcome to middle-age, Mike! Teddy Kennedy was to his brothers what Wings was to The Beatles; an attenuated, not-quite-satisfying echo of the real thing, but vastly better than nothing at all. He was Seventies Liberalism incarnate, a [...]
Continue reading...Talk: JFK and the Unspeakable
Saturday, June 6, 2009
This is a talk by Jim Douglass, a peace activist and the author of the book “JFK and the Unspeakable.” Perhaps I will get a copy for my birthday. From everything I have read about “Unspeakable,” I think it gets closest to explaining why I’ve always been fascinated with the JFK assassination (from the age [...]

For those (like my commenter) who desire a more conclusive discussion, one can be found in James K. Galbraith’s article here.

Today is the fortieth anniversary of RFK’s being shot here in Los Angeles. (He died a day later.) Though his murder is commonly thought to be open-and-shut–”crazy Palestinian enraged over the sale of fighter jets to Israel, et cetera”–unfortunately this is not the case. While it has never taken on the Byzantine permutations of his [...]

Saturday, July 7, 2007
Keith Olbermann’s “Special Comment” in the wake of the Libby commutation is 100% correct. Watch the video here. For those of you who prefer to read, the transcript is below, but the take-away is simple: Bush and Cheney must resign for the good of the country, and since they won’t, Congress must impeach them. “Finally [...]

Audio version is here. Text:Nineteen months after Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans is still reeling. The government’s ineffectual, a lot of the poor and minorities have left, and more and more frightened citizens are carrying concealed weapons for protection. Wait a minute, this isn’t New Orleans, it’s Republican heaven. But let’s be honest; nobody’s happy about [...]

Podcast now available! The web site of a museum dedicated to the JFK assassination has unveiled new footage showing President Kennedy’s motorcade. The silent, 8 mm color film offers “the clearest, best film of Jackie in the motorcade,” said Gary Mack, curator of the Sixth Floor Museum. “You can clearly see that she has a [...]

For 30 years, Ravin fans wondered: What if Tom Larkin had survived? Now, the story can be told.
Mixing alternative history, hardboiled noir, parody and satire, Life After Death for Beginners is a must-read for every Beatles fan. "A cross between The Rutles and Three Days of the Condor. I loved it."—Jonathan Schwarz
