It’s telling — dispositive even — that NYT declined to publish the remarks they themselves solicited from Talbot.
A digression: the public library where I live has on their wall a reproduction of the NYT front page from 11/23/63 (reading “KENNEDY IS KILLED BY SNIPER…”). For years I fixated on the word “SNIPER” (singular) every time I walked in. I was highly suspicious NYT could not possibly in good faith have ascertained whether that word should not have been the plural “SNIPERS”. That I was haunted by the likelihood NYT was complicit in promoting the “lone gunman” story is finally what drew me into researching the JFKA.
Operation Mongoose played a significant role in reducing or eliminating 100% factual information reporting by the print and television industries during the 60’s. David Talbot is one of the giants in investigation and reporting on the JFK Assassination. It’s interesting that he avoids naming individuals, but identifies National Security Agencies and criminal organizations. Truly an excellent summary! THANKS DAVID AND JEFFERSON!
At some point , maybe a follow-up would be on the early skeptics like De Gaulle , Robert and jacaline Kennedy. Did the French communicate with them and do their own digging. After all the French Presidents team on security dealt with a lot of jackals! His team researched every known assassination in order to protect the French President. Are there files open yet? This piece reminds us of the early sceptics . Thanks for sharing.
I read his two books.It's sad,his books are half-truth,unti-conspiracy fact/evidence cover-uped.In his book, he omits the fact that Oswald was directly arrested for murdering Officer Tippit, but in recent years it has been confirmed that Oswald murdered Tippit, so he probably omitted this because it would be inconvenient for the conspiracy sides.
Even more egregiously, they do not explain the historical fact that the shooter (or shooters) missed the first shot, and did not even hit Kennedy's limousine. For example, in BROTHERS, they do not explain this by describing how Senator Yarborough, who was in the motorcade, felt before and after the shooting (paperback, page 245).
Although it is quite long, I would like to quote from my book, which can be purchased from Amazon in the United States, an explanation by a conspiracy researcher about the cover-up surrounding this issue.
Almost all the commentators, both from the Conspiracy side and the Official theory side, agree that the first shot missed, because of the too many negative factors for the shooter as explained in the previous section. If the first shot misses in an assassination attempt on an important person, the shot echoes throughout the area, and from that moment on the sniper is noticed, and his chances of success begin to diminish. Even if the Conspiracy plan was so extensive that the Secret Service (with the exception of Greer who ran to Kennedy's limousine) was complicit, if Kennedy, the target of the shot, was aware of the sound of the shot and either fell to the ground or his wife covered him (Kennedy was aware of the noise but pretended not to know and put his hands down), the assassination would not be successful in the early stages. ), the assassination would have failed in its initial stages. The shooter was a random loner with no premeditation or plan as to how and when to aim and fire at Kennedy to hit him.
In JFK (Film), three assassination teams were set up to shoot Kennedy with radio instructions, but if there was a radio operator, the timing of the order to fire was too odd. The fact that the first shot missed was almost absolute proof that there were no multiple shooters and no Conspiracy plan.
Those who follow the Conspiracy Theory make a big fuss about the sniper being a mafia sniper, a CIA assassin, or the revel skill of GOLGO13, a popular Japanese comic (note: there is a series of episodes in which GOLGO becomes a suspect in a crime), but in what world is GOLGO 13 so incompetent that he doesn't even graze a limousine? There are far too many cases of people who have studied the Kennedy assassination going foolish, but this is a typical example.
Also, as is evident in recent research books, researchers are acutely aware that the first bullet mistake will bury Conspiracy Theory. For example, in David Talbot's debut book BROTHERS (2007, 2007), which appears in Stone's new documentary, he is explain riding in a parade car with Congressman Ralph Yarborough and Kennedy's close associate,Kenneth O'Donnel and David Powers, who were "Irish Mafia" members in the parade car. He explain O'Donnel and Powers testified that the shooting was a crossfire (crossfire = multiple shooters), but he not explain the first shot being missed.Also, as is evident in recent research books, researchers are acutely aware that the first bullet mistake will bury Conspiracy Theory.The Devil's Chessboard (2015, 2016) also describes the start of the sniping as such.
“And then there was the inconvenient home Film taken by dress manufacturer Abraham Zapruder, as Kennedy’s limousine passed by him in Dealey Plaza. The film captured the moments JFK was struck by gunfire in gruesome detail and—along with the testimony of dozens of eyewitnesses—graphically demonstrated that bullets were fired from the front, as well as the rear, of thePresidential motorcade“.（P.563）.
In Mark North's BETRAYAL in DALLAS (2013), which advocates the theory of complicity between the Mafia and Johnson, the story goes like this.
“The trap was sprung. Fire poured into thePresident's car from the rear and the right front. John Kennedy's head snapped backward and to the left,exploding in a halo of blood and brain tissue.
”（P.68）.
Lamar Waldron, who has co-authored two books and co-authored four books and two single-authored books (hardcover and paperback) on the case, abbreviates the first shot out of the limo in all his books, and in his most recent book, the paperback The Hidden History of the JFK Assassination (2013).
"12:30:12 p.m.: One shot was fired at thePresident's limousine...JFK raised his hands to his neck" (P.351).
People who read these books and learn about the assassination incident will never know that the shooter missed the first bullet, but how can this be called an assassination research book? The history books of dictatorships are structured in the same way that the history of a person is rewritten to suit the convenience of the person in power at the time, or a disgraced politician disappears from the press photographs, but as soon as a particular event is found to be inconvenient for Conspiracy Theory, it disappears from subsequent publications. Assassination research books have the same structure. They did the same thing as Big Brother, the dictator in George Orwell's futuristic novel 1984.（From my book,The Last Truth About the President Kennedy Assassination: The Inside Story and the Whole Truth of the Worst Fabrication in History,Vol.1）

I believe that American assassination researchers are nothing more than conspiracy theorists, liars and fabricators.
The tabulation for views of the video stands at 1,200?! For all subscribers of this site, this summary is at least a 9 out of 10, from my 20 years of seeking an authentic analysis of JFK’s Assassination. Please inform yourselves.
The NYT is as reliable a news source as Pravda during the Stalin era. The same goes for the rest of the MSM.
In a government dominated by giant corporations, corporate media are state media.
People are waking up to this fact.

Sad but all so true.
You still belived U.S Assassination reserchers?I post from my book.If you interested,you should read my post!

61 years now & counting & still we are searching the entire truth. How shameful.
Excellent, excellent, excellent.
Beautiful essay, something everyone should read/hear. Shame on the New York Times for not publishing it.

Thank you for publishing this!!
