They Killed Our President: 63 Reasons to Believe There Was a Conspiracy to Assassinate JFK

I have been reading JFK Assassination books since the mid 70's. Stacks of them. I thought most of the researchers and authors were pretty much done. Not so. With recent releases of previously classified material, there is a treasure trove. Jesse Ventura spends a lot of time on Oswald. Thank you Jesse. The extent to which Lee Harvey has been wrongly vilified for some 60 plus years now is a national disgrace.

In 1985, Judge Sol Wachtler told a reporter that prosecutors had such influence over grand juries they could convince them to “indict a ham sandwich.” The Warren Commission was a substitute for a federal grand jury – in 1963 murdering the President of the United States was not a federal crime, so the Warren Commission was a star chamber court with no jurisdiction over the act that killed our president.The prosecution theory of the case is by nature one-sided: the prosecution’s side. That’s part of the trial process. A Grand Jury screens criminal cases by holding a hearing and determining if the case merits a criminal trial. It is one of the Fifth Amendment rights, too—the prosecution theory of the case establishes probable cause to put someone on trial. Usually only one side is presented.I respect Governor Ventura for his many achievements and I read “They Killed Our President” with interest. A jury trial has at least two sides: prosecution and defense. A Grand Jury hearing hears only one side—because the Grand Jury isn’t the actual court trial. And “They Killed Our President” is one of many books acting as the complainant before a grand jury consisting of the reader. Most of “They Killed Our President” has been presented in other books. Governor Ventura’s conclusion was that President Kennedy was murdered by a conspiracy—and he names names and points fingers.Contrast this with Mark Fuhrman’s “A Simple Act of Murder” for the opposite conclusion, that Oswald killed Kennedy while acting alone.I will admit that I don’t know if Oswald committed murder or if several other people killed Kennedy. The evidence doesn’t conclusively put any person behind the rifle or rifles that killed Kennedy.For example, Governor Ventura presents his case that firing three shots in six seconds from the Mannlicher-Carcano was impossible, citing Marine sniper Carlos Hathcock and providing a U-tube video link to back up his case. I will comment at length on this—but a British sergeant hit a 300 yard target 12 inches in diameter 38 times in sixty seconds during 1914. Read how Governor Ventura established that three shots were fired in six seconds.I only picked one example because of review length. Read “They Killed Our President” for yourself.

Recommend the book as he hits the main "facts" well.Lived in Dallas in 1963. Learned much about the grassy knoll and most of the facts he lists are accurate from my research.On the single bullet theory, as a scientist, the energy (physics) needed does not add up. Not even close. Leave it at that. Warren Commission is an example of a government gone astray.View is he is too timid on LBJ. Yes, a "coup" likely did take place. Those who believe in parties and ideology versus "We The People" get the government they deserve.Agree with a significant majority of the 63 facts he lists. He could have used radiant energy, doppler acoustics studies. His chapter on LBJ...tho sobering...maybe could be added to (other conservations?).Are we really free? Decide for yourself and when will real change that empowers all of us start? Truth is the only empowerment for mankind and IT NEVER TAKES FROM ANYONE.POWER ALWAYS CORRUPTS.Jesse's temperment is his greatest limitation. Though mostly subdued, he delves into opinion and emotions too much and does so even more in person.Come from a similar military background as Jesse. More? Much of what he postulates was known/proved several decades. Much, more?Jesse is a real patriot for his desire for the truth and an attempt to inform people on this critical issue.The situation is more dire in sustainability than even Jesse briefly communicates here.Can freedom...fear and blame coexist? History is clear on this. Will we learn?The good news though is always the truth in the form of transparency and accountability.Could most of our elected officials be self serving, unqualified and self serving ideological groupthink zombies? My 40 years in numerous high level government projects on this is quite clear.Hence, We all lose. Read Eisenhower's farewell address, it is a start toward solutions. Sadly, this vital speech is about the power of institutions, of which government is always the ultimate institution, the military-industrial complex is one of 2 examples he gives (he states government pervasiveness is ubiquitous). In some ways, a bigger and greater example given is the arrest of real science by the elite. The universe is not based on gravity (both Einstein/Newton are quoted as stating this)...it is closer to a poor conceptual understanding of charge or differential. But our toxic blend of ignorance and institutions is hiding much greater truths (as is always the case in our human history). Why? Maybe it would destroy some belief systems of authority. Science is not complex...it is the reality we see in nature everyday...or common sense and no...it is not mathematics. Just observe...then applying real basic science principles as our founding fathers believed and are quoted. Solutions and a way forward to true "self-governance" on this and other issues also a minor quibble which he could pursue further to arrest the inherent human vices of power. Jesse should know how to address this as his military and governorship experiences should be of value. Perplexed a bit why he doesn't.BTW..FWIW...been involved in 4 areas in government worth trillions of dollars (Future flying weapon systems, Climate Change, Energy, Scientific Research). It is worse than most of you know.

Bon livre, avec de nombreux détails retraçant le début de cet événement qui changea à jamais la face de l'Amérique

It has now been fifty years since President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas and still the mainstream media keeps feeding us the same tired old information that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone and that we should accept this fact and not ask questions. Those who do question the shaky facts surrounding this incident are labelled as "conspiracy nuts". Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Venture is one of those who will not stop asking questions and this book lays them out in a concise and orderly way. If you've never read a book about the JFK assassination, this one is a great place to start. Jesse Venture raises all the right questions....Just how many people hated Kennedy? What was Jack Ruby's role? How did the Secret Service fail in their job to protect the President? Why have so many witnesses met untimely deaths? This book raises all those questions. Hopefully, someday we will get some answers.

libro decisamente interessante...mi attira molto l'autore..lo seguo anche su youtube...cecchino ex governatore e una persona davvero in gamba...il delitto kennedy mi appassiona da anni..consiglio!

Jesse Ventura, ehem. Gouverneur von Minnesota, gibt in seinem mit zwei Mitautoren verfassten Buch, anlässlich des 50. Jahrestages der Ermordung von John Fitzgerald Kennedy, einen interessanten Überblick über den derzeitigen Stand der Erkenntnisse.Die Fixierung auf 63 Kapitel, erleichtert es nicht beim Lesen den roten Faden zu behalten. Es werden sehr viele beteiligte Personen eingeführt und zum Teil sehr genau analysiert. Überschneidungen sind so nicht zu vermeiden. Hier wäre eine Übersichtsseite mit den Verbindungen hilfreich gewesen. Eine Leseempfehlung ist das Buch aber auf jeden Fall.Ventura kommt zu dem Schluss, dass es sich bei der Ermordung von Kennedy um eine Verschwörung gehandelt haben muss und belegt dies mit zahlreichen glaubhaften Beweisen. Die US-Regierungen halten bis heute Unterlagen - wohl nicht ohne Grund - unter Verschluss und haben verfügbare Beweise nicht ausgewertet oder nachweislich verändert, um ihr Versagen zu verschleiern, das letztendlich Kennedy das Leben gekostet hat.

In 2013 the majority of the American public remain unconvinced by the conclusions of the official Warren commission report on the JFK assassination and Ventura's book will effectively add fire to the conspiracy arguments. `They killed our president' by Jesse Ventura (with contributions) is a real page turner or `shifter' in the case of the Kindle, even for those tired of `JFK conspiracy' theories. I read the Kindle Fire edition with its full sources, footnotes and direct web connections to the text.Jesse Ventures stylistic voice is always apparent in this direct, accessible and convincing read on the events surrounding the JFK assassination. In part one Ventura uses documented sources, materials and witness testimony throughout (with some unpublished new material) to sustain his main argument that the USA security services, mafia and Cuban exile forces and others conspired to assassinate JFK. Ventura in part two argues the official Warren Commission's report on the assassination was part of a media cover up that focused public attention on the theory of lone gunman assassin Lee Harvey Oswald. Furthermore the Warren Commission omitted or retro fitted evidence to prove its lone gunman case. Ventura in part three analyses the principal characters and their conspiracy in the cause, event and aftermath of the assassination. Ventura notes in conclusion how the full JFK story has yet to be written, not least due to the amount of withheld documentation concerning the events and its lead characters for reasons of ongoing `national security' - 50 years after the event!
