Part 4
Foreign policy shifts following the death of the President. The intensification of armed conflict in Vietnam juxtaposed with Kennedy’s proposed policies before his death. An examination of those hawks who advocated an increased presence and a full scale U.S. invasion of Vietnam.

Also including the assassination of Diem, the actions of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the CIA, détente with Soviet Union and Cuba, and Kennedy's clear intent to end the nuclear arms race and find real peace. In specific focus will be the actions of the Joint Chiefs of staff, their actions being the overt actions of the state, and the CIA and DIA, the covert and unseen actions of the state.

If you're going to devote a segment to foreign policy shifts post JFK, and you fail to mention the significance of LBJ's ties to Israel and America's resultant foreign policy subservience to that state, it's not a serious doco. Sorry.

That's your opinion Mark. I agree that Israel exerts serious control over the U.S. but it's my opinion that this was no as a direct result of the Kennedy assassination but as a modus operandi for the expansion of U.S. emperialism.

All the best
