JFK Murderer Confesses

Controlled corporate media refuses to report explosive confession which blows JFK case wide open

Corporate Media

This past Friday marked a doubly significant day for Americans: not only did families around the country gather to celebrate Thanksgiving, November 22 also marked the 44th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The controlled corporate media could be relied upon to regurgitate the same platitudes as every year without daring to challenge the received wisdom of the Warren commission, whose conclusion remains the official explanation of the U.S. government: that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.

The New York Times, for instance, ran an op-ed discussing the famed Zapruder film, and whether it did or did not capture all three of the shots that the Warren commission has informed us were fired by Oswald from his "nest."

The Baltimore Sun ran a report by Frank James about how America might have been different had Kennedy lived. The report takes a moment to not-so-subtly backhand the 70% of the American public who don't believe the official account of that day, calling them "ginned up" conspiracy theorists.

The Wall Street Journal decided to take on the vast majority of Americans directly in its attack on common sense stating that those seeking alternative explanations of JFK's murder are simply wrong without going into any demonstration of that fact. The Wall Street Journal probably wins this round of JFK anniversary stories because they managed to sneak in a backhander at the 9/11 truth movement.

E. Howard Hunt

What every single anniversary story in the controlled corporate media failed to note is that the JFK murder conspiracy was blown wide open this year. As the latest episode of The Corbett Report points out, St. John Hunt—son of famed CIA spy and assassin E. Howard Hunt—released his father's deathbed confession earlier this year, a confession to his part in the conspiracy to murder the president. In March, Rolling Stone ran an article about the tape, which had its world premiere on Coast to Coast Live in April. In this stunning testimony, Hunt reveals not only that he was part of the conspiracy to kill the president, but that his orders had come from Lyndon Baines Johnson, the man who not so coincidentally took over the office of president after Kennedy's death.

This information, obviously, blows the lid off of the entire case. The mindless ramblings of op-ed writers for the controlled corporate newspapers pales in comparison to this startling revelation. Why, then, has there been no mention of this in any mainstream newspaper whatsoever? There was a time not too long ago when an intrepid reporter like Bill O'Reilly could be relied upon to ask the hard questions and reveal the startling facts of government conspiracy. Yes, that's right, Bill O'reilly:

O'reilly filed that report for Inside Edition at a time when he was struggling to make a name for himself as an up-and-coming reporter. Why won't young reporters of our generation similarly step up to inform the American public about one of the most astounding revelations of our day and age? This is a question which I am content to leave rhetorical.

That tiny percentage of the population that hitherto believed Oswald to have acted alone and who have only just now realized that they have been lied to are invited to watch JFK II to find out just how far the rabbit hole goes.
