Well, in the second edition of Destiny Betrayed, I spent a lot of time examining the Bay of Pigs. And there is no doubt in my mind that Kennedy's refusal to bail out the landing party was a really crucial event in turning a lot of powerful people against him.
And the fact that he then investigated the whole thing, something that Uncle Ike would not have done. And then he fired the top level of the CIA--something that had not been done before or since.
But in my talk I am going to be widening the scope. Most JFK assassination books concentrate on Vietnam and Cuba.
But Kennedy's foreign policy changes were even wider than that. I mean, to give you one example, the guy was for Arab nationalism! He favored Nasser over Saudi Arabia. And the Kennedys actually commissioned a State Department study analyzing the cost benefit ratio of bringing back Mossadegh in Iran. Another reversal of the Dulles brothers, who favored the royalists in the Middle East.
So anyway,this is what I will be discussing in depth with a lot of new facts.
