Project Censored Presents Key Issues in the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy

- Created: 22 November 2013
Project Censored invites you to tune in on Friday, November 22, to a very special four-hour series of the Project Censored Show on Pacifica Radio, as co-hosts Peter Phillips and Mickey Huff pull back the veil of official-narrative history regarding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy 50 years later. The series takes a hard look at what the facts of that fateful day suggest– that Lee Harvey Oswald was not a lone gunman, and likely did not kill JFK. With in-depth interviews featuring cutting-edge researchers, Phillips and Huff hope to raise awareness of the flaws in the Warren Commission Report, to highlight the known facts of the JFK assassination, and to amplify the call for government accountability (for example, to win release of the many still-secret documents about the assassination, especially those involving the CIA).
