My vacation from the land of JFK is over. I haven’t written here in a couple of months and now I’m back. Please excuse my unauthorized absence. I’ve been busy.
I’m writing about the Trump administration for AlterNet, and that’s a yuge job.
I finished my next book, The Ghost: The Secret Life of CIA Spymaster James Jesus Angleton, and that was bigly too. (Look for this biographic thriller on Amazon/Powell’s and in bookstores in October.)
But I’d left some people high and dry. My friend Dwight said, Man, what’s up with the blog? Don’t stop now. So, with lots of JFK news coming, it is indeed time to start writing again.
You will be hearing from me on many things, including:
- Judge John Tunheim’s March 16 appearance in Washington to talk about the JFK Records Act;
- The latest from the National Archives on the JFK records in October 2017;
- The implications of tensions between President Trump and the CIA for full JFK disclosure;
- Why Natalie Portman was robbed at the Oscars.
I was talking with John Newman the other day–about Angleton, the JFK Records Act, and Cuba–and he said, “I truly think we are in new territory in terms of understanding the case.”
I think that’s right. The challenge of 2017 is to tell the new JFK story in a lucid dispassionate way.
Alas, I have to turn off the comments section for the time being. The site has been blessed with a great commenting community. But I don’t have the capacity to be fair to all commenters. So that part of the site will, unfortunately, remain dark.
If you have important JFK news or views to impart, please send me an email or a tweet. Interesting links and videos are always welcome.
