The JFK Truth Project…Our Last
Chance to Solve the Crime that Still Haunts the U.S.
Nearly 50 years after the assassination of President John F.
Kennedy, it’s time to finally reveal the full story of this monumental turning
point in American history.
Over the next two years, the U.S. will commemorate major
anniversaries in the Kennedy case, including the 50th anniversary of
President Kennedy’s death, in November 2013, and the 50th
anniversary of the Warren Report, in September 2014. During this critical
period, when once again the American people’s attention will be focused on this
haunting mystery, the JFK Truth Project will mount an extensive legal and media
campaign aimed at solving the epic crime.
The historical lessons spotlighted by the JFK Truth Project
continue to have deep relevance for the country. President Kennedy’s
assassination not only marked the violent end of an administration dedicated to
the peaceful resolution of the Cold War – it paved the way for an era of
permanent war, coups and assassinations that has continued all the way to the
Obama presidency and the lawless reign of killer drones. It’s vital for the
American people to learn about our past, so we can avoid catastrophes in our
future.
The JFK Truth Project will be a multi-faceted campaign that
will include:
·
Important new books that will significantly
advance our understanding of the Kennedy assassination and cover-up. Among
these are David Talbot’s forthcoming book on legendary CIA chief Allen Dulles
and his central role in the crime and the cover-up, and Jefferson Morley’s new
book about the CIA station in south Florida in the early 1960s, a nexus of
anti-Kennedy intelligence agents, Mafia crime lords, and anti-Castro Cuban
plotters. Both of these books will
present explosive new information about the men who were responsible for the
murder of the president.
·
“Brothers,” a new feature documentary based on
David Talbot’s bestselling book about Robert Kennedy’s secret search for the
truth about his brother’s murder. Featuring interviews with Kennedy
administration officials who are speaking for the first time about the
conspiracy against JFK, “Brothers” has already won the strong support of Robert
Kennedy Jr., who recently told a Dallas public forum hosted by Charlie Rose
that his father never accepted the Warren Report and the lone gunman theory.
·
JFK Facts, a new web site that has already
established itself as the leading clearinghouse for news and information about
the Kennedy assassination. Edited by Jefferson Morley, JFK Facts monitors
mainstream news organizations and the blogosphere and sets the record straight
on JFK stories via Twitter, Facebook and the web. JFK Facts has broken several
big stories, including an expose of Bill O’Reilly’s embarrassing lie in his
bestselling Kennedy book, and a report on still-secret files on accused
assassin Lee Harvey Oswald held by the Office of Naval Intelligence.
·
A Freedom of Information legal campaign to
finally pry loose the 1,500 classified documents related to the Kennedy
assassination that are still being withheld by the CIA, in violation of the JFK
Records Collection Act. A similar FOIA effort is being launched to obtain CIA
travel records for a key agency suspect in the crime, whom new information has
connected to Dallas in November 1963. A successful resolution of these lawsuits
– both of which are spearheaded by
veteran Washington lawyer James Lesar -- could shed a headline-making light on
“the crime of the century.”
The ultimate goal of the JFK Truth Project is to establish a
public inquest into the Kennedy assassination that will issue definitive
conclusions about the case. This inquest -- which will be overseen by leading
jurists, scholars and investigative journalists -- will probe some of the
darkest chambers of the U.S. national security state. The inquest is scheduled
to be held in Washington D.C. in September 2014 – to coincide with the 50th
anniversary of the release of the Warren Report, which marked the official
cover-up of the assassination.
This public reckoning is long overdue. The 50-year milestone
commemorating the assassination and the official cover-up might be the last
opportunity in our lifetimes to finally resolve this national trauma. Please
join us in our quest to solve this epic crime against American democracy.
