Peter Dale Scott in this essay examines some of the patterns common to the three major assassinations of the 1960s and the attacks of 9/11.

In the wake of the end of the Cold War and the passage of the 1992 JFK Assassination Records Collection Act, the U.S. Government has declassified an enormous number of formerly-secret documents. Among the most stunning are those pertaining to the 1963 assassination of President Kennedy and its subsequent investigations. The new records contain stark indications of conspiracy, and a great wealth of material concerning the hows and whys of the ensuing coverup. These documents also include startling "new" facts about 1960s foreign policy regarding Vietnam, Cuba, and the other frontlines of the war against Communism. The revelations in these files remain largely unknown to the public at large. The reasons are complex, involving actual coverup activities, an unresponsive media weary of the unresolved questions, and the unwillingness of mainstream historians to come to grips with the reality of crimes and coverups by government and other institutions of American society. The goal of this website and History Matters' other offerings is to shed needed light on the darker aspects of post-World-War-II American politics, and in particular the tumultuous assassinations of the 1960s. The lies and myths about these assassinations have created what has been called a "black hole in history" which warps our understanding of the entire period. Ultimately, an inability to confront our real history endangers democracy and freedom. Rex Bradford |
