As the JFK Story Evolves in 2024

The emerging narrative of America's most infamous assassination

Secret Service agent Paul Landis told a new JFK story in 2023.

What are the prospects in 2024 for decisive clarification of the events leading to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy?

My answer: better than ever but still not likely.

Of course, defenders of the official story will insist there is no rational reason to doubt the story of a “lone gunman.” One man killed JFK for no reason, they say, and another man killed the assassin in a fit of passion. They add, accurately enough, “There’s no smoking gun proof of conspiracy.” Therefore, they assure us, there’s nothing to talk about.

After calendar year 2023, this stance is less defensible than ever. From a fact-finding point of view, it is close to obtuse. The past year saw four significant factual revelations about the assassination story, as well as the emergence of the most significant new JFK narrative since Oliver Stone’s compelling but controversial movie, “JFK.”

To claim the lone gunman story is indisputably true is an expression of denial, not a description of the new evidence.
