Just to add my $0.02, I like the independent editorial line where political endorsements are concerned. I'm not sure I've ever liked political endorsements by media outlets, to be honest, since they represent a "corporate" viewpoint, and I don't like those. It may very well be the case that Bezos is being cowardly, but I'd sooner have no newspapers endorse candidates than have WaPo endorse my favorite candidate. The only thing I'd take issue with here is the assertion that Harris is "more qualified" than Trump. That might have been the case had Trump not actually served a term as president. As it is, even if he'd been the worst president ever (he wasn't), he'd know what it felt like to be prez. But I approve of this message anyway.
Harris is just the latest teleprompter reader for the Uniparty; if you like what you've been getting for the last sixty years (endless foreign wars, massive expansion of federal bureaucracy, runaway debt & inflation, export of jobs for the benefit of Wall Street, recent emergence of Censorship Industrial Complex, etc) then vote for more of the same...
Charles, I believe you have much to offer to this conversation as it pertains to your uncle, J. T. Stephen’s, Jr. and his role with world-wide communications from the 1940’s thru the 1960’s, specifically handling communications to JFK’s White House, including his bedroom. When I attempted to make a long distance call from my station in Thailand in 1968, each leg of the call yielded a more faint signal. My call ended before reaching Hawaii! I wish you nothing but the best!
Trump knows well that he doesn't have to keep a single promise if he wins the election. It is a weird thing to even suggest that it was a positive that he made that promise.
I work a lot so I had hired a writer in December of last year. He is to have the draft completed by the end of this month. In December we will polish it up. I will guess it will end up being 70 to 80 thousand words. I know of a few traditional agents that have said they were willing to sign an agreement to get the book published, but the bottom line was that no one knows me so I have to have a completed manuscript before they will consider taking the project on.
I am new to the publishing world, so I fear I may be optimistic to believe a book will be published by June, but I am hopeful.
I shared what I believe to be the most pivotal pieces that I found and put together just a few months ago. The below is what a direct relative of a person I was researching that was connected to the overall story said about what I shared with them.
"Dear Mr. Charles Small,
Thank you so much for your message ! I am wholly fascinated by your findings and if you have any further ones, please do let me know ! My impression is, that your insights are truly reliable and welcome, so once you publish them, on the basis of your findings hitherto I would entirely support them. Nobody has dived into these novel items as you have and they do seem incontrovertible. Wish you every further success and hope your views will find the acknowledgment they deserve... ...True detective work !"
I want to comment on this comment. "While I balk at RFK’s anti-vax message, his campaign against ultra-processed food is welcome and overdue.)". As a working pharmacist, I would have agreed with this, under the guise of not wanting to affect my income. I probably administered 3000 Covid vaxs in my life. After retirement, I began following Steve Kirsch (also on substack). Without doing a deep dive like a reporter such as yourself would need to do to write about it, his numerous articles, graphs, efforts, data are very convincing. I view it as very similar to JFK assassination. You can reject it as long as you don't study it, but if you do study it, you will (likely) come to the conclusion that Steve Kirsch and associates are correct. They are the mirror image of Jefferson Morley and associates. Same same. Specifically, I had 3 covid vax, will never get another mRNA vax. And, although I am not antivax in general (same as RFK Jr) I believe vaccines are the reason for the explosion of autism and other auto immune disorders.
If Trump wins, I hope you can get RFK Jr. on the JFK Podcast to discuss his thinking for how to achieve full disclosure. if Harris wins, Rep. Cohen would be a great guest. Either way, here's hoping we can get some movement following the election.
Thanks for the vital information that release of the JFK documents will allow him to speak to us six decades later on dealing with the CIA.
You are correct in saying Harris and Trump both "reflexively support Israel to the detriment of U.S. national interests." As you point out, "After November 22, 1963, Lyndon Johnson did two things JFK had long resisted: escalate in Vietnam and give the CIA carte blanche for regime change operations worldwide." If I may, there's one more thing Johnson did that Kennedy had long resisted: he (Johnson) became Israel's "best friend." Israel no longer had to worry about not getting the atom bomb, or Palestinians getting a right of return, and or their lobby in Washington having to register as a foreign agent. Then Johnson sealed the friendship with his help in Israel's attempt to sink the USS Liberty during their Six Day War..
I think this history is important to consider in choosing a president, including Kennedy's Peace Speech, which you refer to. And this history includes your important book about James Jesus Angleton, The Ghost. Allow me to ask a question raised by your interview with Ephraim Halevy, Mossad's liaison with the CIA in Tel Aviv, as reported in your book:
"Halevy escorted Angleton on his rounds and recorded his meetings with Israeli officials. “He used to meet with David Ben-Gurion, who[m] he knew for many years,” Halevy recalled. “Ben-Gurion ultimately left office [in 1963] and Angleton went down to Sde Boker [Ben-Gurion’s home in the Negev] to meet him. I didn’t attend those meetings. Those were just the two of them. He had business to transact."
There is no conceivable way that full disclosure of anything by a Trump administration would in any way strengthen democratic self/government. They are more thugs than William Harvey ever was. I prefer to seek my cake and have it too. Governmental organs that come clean and submit themselves to the principles of democratic self/government. As far as I am concerned unraveling the mystery of JFKs death is a means to an end. A better nation, a better democracy. If you see a Trump administration as a path to a better democracy, well….. (Full disclosure. I have some connection to all of this because for 25 years I was married to a first cousin of Michael Paine. I know his mother’s family well.)
Regardless of who wins this election we all lose. Duopolies work that way. They are here for each other not us.
Bill Clinton's administrations started a drift to the right, 911 gave that drift big time "patriotic" (?) momentum. See the Iraq / Afghanistan Shrub debacle.
The democrats, never a party to play hard ball or use dirty pool and judo in the trenches against their opposition have fallen into a place made for them after Trump tore the republican party limb from limb.
Was the entire Russia Gate saga a ruse, likely set in motion by our national security apparatus to facilitate a Trump win? Seems likely since Trump's love affair with Putin gave rise to a Zionist / NEOCON appetite for forever war.
Seems as if the intelligence / national security apparatus should have a great read on exactly what made DJT tick. If they did why did they interject themselves into an operation that likely got Hillary beat. Not that I wanted her as the democratic candidate, nothing could be further from the truth.
None of this has ever made any sense to me.
This would not be the first time the American public had a psyop ran on them. Trump beats the queen of chaos damages the country, the democrats ran Biden and 'we the people " get more war. The intelligence / national security apparatus becomes openly hostile to 'we the people' as 'we the people' are outraged by the genocide applied to Gaza, never ending war and to what end?
I'm not liking what I'm seeing at all. Harris wins big she will claim she has been given mandate, again, nothing could be further from the truth. She got elected as the lesser of two evils and she damned sure needs to know it. In fact the democrats must be put on notice, calm down work for peace give us answers not orders and be damned thankful Trump didn't win.
I truly admire your career long efforts to get to the truth of the JFK assassination. I consider it the most important event in US history. To think a government agency created in 1947 could be involved in assassinating a President less than 20 years later and get away with it is horrifying. As is my wait for the truth 61 years later.
While your opinions are far from camouflaged, you are correct that your customers have a wide range of opinions on many political issues. Best to stay away from opinions such as Harris is more qualified, supporting Israel is detrimental to US interests etc. these issues are complicated and opinions may differ
What we know is Harris has given absolutely no indication of any consideration of the JFK issues. Trump has failed to follow thru once and made a promise for a second try. I think the most important paragraph in your article is that “the only solution is to stick to the mission and go easy on the opinions. Whether Trump or Harris wins we need an orderly process….to release the rest of the JFK assassination files.”
I just want to know why there was not profit gouging while Trump was president. We also know that Kamala's answer to JFK records will be because she was raised middle class.
Jeff - nice job. I know it is difficult for you to not have bias and you wrote pretty fair piece considering. You obviously did a lot of thinking about your readers and reputation and the right thing to do and I’m good with it. Thanks!
Now that we are post presidential election, I’m not putting any money on a 100% release of the JFK documents. I believe this community will continue to chisel away at the layers of the excrement concealing the truths surrounding 11/22/63 while seeking 61 year old information from whistleblowers, hopefully?!
That's the first I have heard of the redacted Schlesinger letter to JFK. The power of the CIA is boundless. When any institution or person can't be held accountable for its actions, the resulting endless cycle of obfuscation is most evident in the search of truth. We now have an institution in the Supreme Court that has given all future Presidents ultimate immunity from any criminal action while conducting "official governmental business." Sounds like the CiA to me.

Strongly disagree. Trump has more of an allegiance to Putin and his bank account than this country

Yea, he tied himself in knots. Amazon did it for business reasons and so is JFKfacts??
Charles, any hint on pending publication? Thanks!

Thanks. I appreciate the insight.
Trump doesn’t support the peaceful transfer of power. Harris does. That alone is enough to support her.
If Trump wins, I hope you can get RFK Jr. on the JFK Podcast to discuss his thinking for how to achieve full disclosure. if Harris wins, Rep. Cohen would be a great guest. Either way, here's hoping we can get some movement following the election.
Good column Jeff
I have said before Trump doesn't feel obligated to anyone. Witness FOX, Blacks, Jews, whole states, etc. Kennedy and Rogan are child's play
I also like Kennedy on processed food.. But my bottom line question is where are the parents? They can control a lot of that. Shop the aisles.
Trump doesn't care about saving face The more outlandish he feels he can get away with the more outlandish he can become
Mr. Morley:

Did you ask him What business?
Thanks for any reply to an off-the-wall question.
Sinking the Liberty might have been Johnson's idea IMO, as a gift to both the MIC and Israel

Schlesinger was right of course.

He lied again in the Rogan interview, per Larry's blow-by-blow account of Trump & Pompeo in 2017. Pretty disappointing.
She's been campaigning for 100 days, so she may have opinions on this after she's elected. That may have been a better reason for a non-endorsement.
Tied yourself in knots for that one, Jeff. Wow.
This is American Democracy vs Fascism, hum, which one might pass Cohen's bill if it gets through? JFC.
