Assassination Legal Case Update
The half-century
mark since the assassination of John F Kennedy was supposed to be
some kind of event. Lots of books were in the offing. Broadcasters
were primed. We were going to get some really huge revelations,
some kind of major step forward in coming to terms with this event
that has so affected America and so divided its population.
And guess what?
Eh. Basically, eh. Nothing so amazing (to be really
generous), and, sorry to say, hardly anyone is paying real attention.
Hollywood and
the media have produced and are producing a body of work that by
and large perpetuates the official story of 1963 or threatens to
further muddy the waters, while ignoring the massive amount of research
and general consensus by most researchers, the public and
a congressional
committee that there’s far more to the story.
At WhoWhatWhy,
we think the public has a right to something better. To real inquiry
that follows fact trails wherever they go. To a kind of fearlessness
in search of explanations that might not be “wise” in a conventional
journalistic career but that distinguish the only kind of journalism
truly worth its salt.
Over the past
few years, we’ve published a number of articles on JFK (and on the
equally problematical official account of his brother’s death and
that of Martin Luther King).
We’re determined
to do more. But it’s hard when you’re a small outfit with limited
staff and financial resources. Nevertheless, we’ll keep at it.
In the meantime,
here are links to relevant articles we’ve already published over
the past several years. See which ones are of interest. And please
spread the word by using social media and email lists to alert others.

get enough of those Kennedys. The more banal the better. No depth,
please!
