State of JFK in 2024: 'We're Getting Warmer'
What I learned from my 30 years of JFK journalism
In November 2023 I gave a talk about what I have l learned in 30 years of reporting on CIA involvement in the events leading to President John F. Kennedy’s assassination.
What follows is an excerpt from that hour-long presentation, in which I summed up what we know now about the causes of the death of the 35th president. With a little help from George Orwell, Bob Dylan, and Sherlock Holmes, I discuss the most important developments in the JFK case in recent years. I conclude by telling the documented story of one CIA officer whom we now know was involved in the wrongful death of JFK.
The title of my speech: “We’re getting warmer.”
I gave this talk in November 2023 at the 22nd annual Forensic Science and Law Symposium sponsored by the Wecht Institute at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh.
There was no more fitting venue to talk about JFK’s assassination than a symposium organized by the late Dr. Cyril Wecht, one of the best-informed critics of the official story of JFK’s death, and an acknowledged world leader in the field of forensic science.
Stay tuned. In the next post about my speech, I’ll talk about what a new CIA files reveals about George Orwell and Lee Harvey Oswald,
My Wecht symposium speech, “State of JFK 2024: We Are Getting Warmer,” will be posted in its entirety here on JFK Facts on Monday July 15.
Great.
I'll ask you again:
What is your endgame?
I'll reiterate mine:
We must define and effect justice for JFK and the untold millions collaterally damaged by his killers.
How can you plan a route if you don't have a destination? How do you know that you're "getting warm" when you don't know or won't say where you're going?
Why won't you tell us where you're going?
Has anyone caught the rhetorical allusion that Jeff is making in his speech at the Forensic Science and Law Symposium at Duquesne U. from last year? https://youtu.be/ZPIcZbLOTeI?si=eTC63b3JCL3Cek2t Angleton is the spy-poet and liberally used literary references in his work. I found Mr. Morley’s speech both well-written and powerfully delivered, and filled with literary and musical references. I really liked that touch - “the raising of the caliber of the discussion to a different dimension”, to tie the events of the period to the leading cultural authors of the time - especially Orwell and Dylan. In essence, using Angleton’s own style to tell the story and expose his and other’s efforts to subvert the truth.
