But Lee Harvey Oswald was the patsy. The conspirators set him up. Then they had Jack Ruby kill him to silence him, because had Oswald spoken, their carefully planned conspiracy would probably have been revealed for what it was -- a coup d'etat.

 

Ever since the Warren Commission pinned JFK's assassination on Oswald alone, the "innocents" in the news-media have conspired to denigrate any suggestion that Oswald acted alone. Through this news-media conspiracy, "innocent" journalists have tried to safeguard other American "innocents" by systemically denigrating all discussions that call the official Oswald myth into question.

 

As a result, if there are American "innocents" who question the official Oswald myth, they probably will not learn much from the superficial media coverage about Kennedy. Consequently, for those Americans who are interested in JFK's assassination, I would recommend two books. One by Peter Janney; the other by James W. Douglass. Each offers detail and depth beyond what the media coverage about Kennedy provides.

 

 

PETER JANNEY'S BOOK ABOUT MARY PINCHOT MEYER'S MURDER

 

 

Poor Peter Janney. He investigated the murder of a family friend, Mary Pinchot Meyer, who was one of President Kennedy's lovers. As Peter Janney put the pieces of her murder together, he discovered that his father, who worked for the Central Intelligence Agency, was involved in the CIA's operation to murder Mary Meyer on October 19, 1964.

 

Janney recounts these events in detail in his book MARY'S MOSAIC: THE CIA CONSPIRACY TO MURDER JOHN F. KENNEDY, MARY PINCHOT MEYER, AND THEIR VISION FOR WORLD PEACE (2012).

 

Peter Janney's father, Wistar Janney, was a senior career CIA official. Peter's mother, Mary Draper, and Mary Pinchot had been classmates at Vassar College (class of 1942). After each of them married a husband who worked for the CIA, their respective families lived the DC area. They were neighbors and friends.
