Early on, Michael Parenti scoffed at the Official Fairy Tale [OFT] of JFK's assassination. In a fiery and funny speech from 1993, Parenti demolishes the OFT and the intellectuals who defend it. I've condensed & reorganized the speech and drawn parallels with the present. NWN #40 focuses on the on the alleged âlone gunman acting aloneâ--Oswald then, âAnthraxâ Ivins now. Amazing how many of these âfall guysâ die before they can testify in court!
Produced at WWUH-FM, "Public Alternative Radio," at the University of Hartford. Maria Gilardin, of TUC Radio, made the Parenti speeech available. Feedback to kdowst at hotmail period com
Kennedy was killed on November 22, 1963--45 years ago.
