I Will Be Teaching a JFK Assassination Class

[R.K. Locke]

I've been reading Don's 2014 book entitled Hidden History: An Expose of Modern Crimes, Conspiracies, and Cover-Ups in American Politics. Even though I'm only about a hundred pages into it, I can heartily recommend it to everyone.


It begins with a whithering destruction of the Official Story of the JFK assassination, familiar territory for many of us, but notable nevertheless for the breadth of the carnage in a frugal 50 pages or so. Don calls the JFK hit "The Mother of All Conspiracies," and then goes on to pretty much prove his point.


Things turn even more interesting in subsequent chapters, about the Sixties, Seventies, the Reagan Years ("Trickle Down Treachery") the Clinton Years, the Death of John Kennedy, Jr., 9/11, Dubya and More Dubya, and so on well into the Obama years. One of Don's talents is the clarity of his thought and writing, which results in a concise and convincing portrayal of often complex events.


His insights are sometimes stunning. For example, as a young man in the 1960s I thought the apparently anti-establishment antics of people like Abbie Hoffman and the Yippies was an attempt to end the the U.S.'s growing involvement in perpetual warfare in SE Asia. But Mr. Jeffries poses a number of simple questions about these demonstrators leading to deep concerns about their real roles. First and foremost was this question: Why did none of the Chicago Eight offer any criticisim of the official story of the Kennedy assassination, which obviously opened the door to the wholesale slaughter in Asia?


Other readers well versed in the Kennedy Assassination probably will find Don's book a refreshingly broad look at both the Kennedy Assassination and the last 50 years of our hidden history, written by a true kindred spirit. No doubt his JFK class will be equally entertaining and informative.

Re: the initial question - I would suggest teaching the assassination in the context of JFK's foreign policy, and also in the wider context of 20th century deep events. I would avoid getting lost in the minutiae of the evidentiary record and the specifics of the assassination itself. In this day and age most people realise that Oswald had no involvement in the killing. The way to engage people is by showing how the assassination is part of a pattern of ruling class perfidy that goes back centuries.
