JFK AND THE UNSPEAKABLE

I just finished an absolutely haunting and frightening book entitled JFK AND THE UNSPEAKABLE by James Douglass. There are those who would say that it is a waste of time to spin conspiracy theories about events that happened long ago or to become preoccupied with the specifics of the assassination of JFK. They would argue that we should just let it be.

Sadly, this book documents that what appeared to be the truth for those of us who lived through those horrible days was really fabrication and not only fabrication and lies, but even more......evidence of something downright UNSPEAKABLE, in Thomas Merton's phrase. Jesus alerted us to be 'gentle as doves', but also' wise as serpents'. Books like this remind us that we need to have the ability to be reflective and critical, not merely buying the story and the myth others want us to believe.

Please consider reading this book...
