The JFK Assassination and the Gangster Nature of the State, Michael Parenti (TWO of TWO)

By Newest Catalog Items

TUC Radio Archives re-broadcast on the 61st anniversary of Kennedy’s assassination          This talk caused a controversy in the media when it was first aired on the 30th anniversary of the JFK assassination. Parenti saw not just the violent death of an individual but said: “If the truth were known it would call into question the entire state system and the social order it represents”. And that troubling implication is probably the reason why the mainstream press has suppressed the work of those who researched the circumstances of Kennedy’s death.

By Newest Podcasts

TUC Radio Archives re-broadcast on the 61st anniversary of Kennedy’s assassination       Parenti criticizes the lone assassin theory, goes over details of the murder and addresses the bitter question that haunts so many, whether government agencies of a democratic country participated in the assassination of an elected President. This is one of Parenti’s most highly acclaimed talks, ending with a standing ovation. He spoke on the 30th anniversary of the assassination in Berkeley, CA.
