Episode 16: US Foreign Policy and the JFK Assassination w/James DiEugenio
🕑 Added 2022-01-24 15:22:56 +0000 UTCIn Part 8 our Destiny Betrayed series on the JFK assassination, Aaron continues his discussion with James DiEugenio. They cover Vietnam and other key aspects of President Kennedy's foreign policy. Collectively, JFK's plans to end the Cold War and his support for Third World nationalism represented a radical break from the imperialist Acheson-Dulles consensus which had prevailed since the end of World War II. Unfortunately, Kennedy's visionary plans placed him in the cross hairs of the US Empire's beneficiaries. These amoral members of the American power elite commanded the world's leading corporate, military, and political organizations.
James DiEugenio is the screenwriter and co-creator of Oliver Stone's new documentary JFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass as well as JFK: Destiny Betrayed, the four-hour cut of the film coming to the US in late February. Jim is also the author of Destiny Betrayed: JFK, Cuba, and the Garrison Case and The JFK Assassination: The Evidence Today. Additionally, he runs the fantastic website Kennedys and King and makes regular appearances on Len Osanic's BlackOp Radio.

His defense of the Warren report is a defense of his alibi though ;)

Well, as you know, we take Noam to task quite a bit. Idk what his angle is. I don't think he's a witting asset or agent. I think he has weird ideology and has subjected his historical assessments to conform to his ideology--rather than allowing history to inform his evolving ideology. Or maybe he is just a plant. But I tend to think not, fwiw.

(The Noam shot JFK thing is a bit, though with how effective Noam’s anti war and electoral advice has been, he might as well have been a CIA op as well as an assassin in Dallas)

I mean, we strive to be as good as we can be, but no need to focus on one particular podcast. That said, you should find the next episode interesting...
