Investigating the Kennedy Assassination
Few events in American political history are more mysterious and controversial than the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Dr. John M. Newman is a rare breed of historian who has meticulously examined and reexamined historical evidence concerning the complexity of the power hierarchy in the United States, numerous international and domestic events of the Cold War, and covert spy wars that led to the tragedy on November 22, 1963. Below is an abridged version of the hour-and-a-half-long interview with Dr. Newman conducted by The New American senior editor Veronika Kyrylenko on October 25. The full interview is available at TheNewAmerican.com as a video with the accompanying transcript.
The New American: Your extensive, three-decade-long investigation into the JFK case has established you as a globally renowned expert in this field…. What was so controversial about your book [JFK and Vietnam] that it got suppressed?
Dr. John Newman: Because I had absolute proof that President Kennedy had ordered the withdrawal from Vietnam. And that would change history if he did not die. And then, when he died, we went into Vietnam. If he had not been assassinated, there would have been no Vietnam War. And the Vietnam War cost East and West all the trade and the routes to get all the equipment and weapons over there for that war. It consumed resources and time. It was a huge war for a long time.
