(Half-way through -- and I feel that I've seen most of this before -- I'll put it aside as "read"...)Assassination buffs (dumb phrase...) should read Dick Russell. This book is dynamite (in the slang sense....). It's my view that 100 years from now, history will see the JFK assassination as conspiracy as an absolute certainty -- the evidence is just overwhelming -- and the reluctance of late age America to see this as a form of popular delusion. It is simply hard to believe that any objective reader of the best literature in this area can walk away from it with much doubt. There is, moreover, a direct thread in American History from Arbenz (Guatemala) and Kermit Roosevelt (Iran), through Oswald, Watergate, to the Bushes and to where we sit today... mired in multiple catastrophes of our own making.... with the American public the constant recipient of (...literally drenched in a downpour of) very sophisticated psy ops at every flick of the clicker...
It's not that complicated....
