Founding Membership Comes With a New Premium: The Trilogy of Spies
You can support the mission of JFK Facts, get a lifetime subscription, AND receive three true-life thrillers about the CIA's most brilliant and dangerous operatives
“Sustainability” and “resilience” seem to be the mantra of the moment. Hunker down for hard times and ride things out til better days is a vibe often felt these days. Some people, I find, are suddenly more optimistic about the American future. Others much less. This publication speaks to both.
In search of both sustainability and resilience in calendar 2025, the JFK Facts newsletter on Substack is offering a new Founding Membership that will make our editorial operations, now in their third year, more sustainable (in the long run of enduring history ) and more resilient (in the short run of turbulent news).
After all, JFK Facts is a web site dedicated to journalism about one sensational historical event, that is to say, to history and news. Or more precisely, history in the news: What the American past tells us about the American moment.
A fine ambition to be sure, but any self-respecting news site must be able to sustain itself through the boom and (inevitable) bust cycles of online journalism. You got to be resilient or you’re gone like Gawker.
And we do not intend to go down that memory hole. We want your help to build enduring influence.
The new JFK Facts Founding membership does not come with the usual merch. (No coffee mugs!) Rather we offer something more unique: a lifetime subscription to JFK Facts and the Trilogy of Spies, a collection of my three biographies of leading CIA men in the Cold War.
These three books are the foundation of my research into the events of 1963. They capture JFK’s assassination from the divergent perspectives of three top CIA men: the charismatic Mexico City station chief Win Scott; the sinister counterintelligence chief James Angleton; and the oh so smooth director Richard Helms.
Read these three books and you will fortify your foundation of JFK knowledge.
We only have five sets of the Trilogy of Spies in our Washington D.C. warehouse. So order now. First come first served. Just click the blue “Subscribe” button below and choose Founding Membership.
