Dallas '63: The First Deep State Revolt Against the White House

Written by Peter Dale Scott

Narrated by George Spelvin

"Our most provocative scholar of American power" reveals the forces behind the assassination of JFK—and their continuing influence over our world (David Talbot, Salon).

On November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was gunned down in Dallas by Lee Harvey Oswald. Shortly after, Oswald himself was killed. These events led many to believe there was a far greater plan at work, with a secret cabal of powerful men manipulating the public and shaping US policies both at home and abroad for their own interests.

But no one could imagine how right they were.

Beneath the orderly façade of the American government, there lies a complex network, only partly structural, linking Wall Street influence, corrupt bureaucracy, and the military-industrial complex. Here lies the true power of the American empire. This behind-the-scenes web is unelected, unaccountable, and immune to popular resistance. Peter Dale Scott calls this entity the deep state, and he has made it his life's work to write the history of those who manipulate our government from the shadows. Since the aftermath of World War II, the deep state's power has grown unchecked, and nowhere has it been more apparent than that day at Dealey Plaza.

In this landmark volume, Scott traces how culpable elements in the CIA and FBI helped prepare for the assassination, and how the deep state continues to influence our politics today.

As timely and important as ever in the current chaotic political climate, Dallas '63 is a reality-shattering, frightening exposé not of those who govern us—but of those who govern those who govern us.

Reviews for Dallas '63

[Paul Himmelman · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

A valiant attempt to sketch out the overarching reasons why the United States is a conservative hell internally and a force of destruction and mayhem around the world.

[earlhixon · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

What a great conspiracy. And no one with any credibility has come forward with any proof of conspiracy. That just proves what a great conspiracy it was.

[ROBERT WAYNE · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Amazing. A completely different perspective. More complex than one would imagine. More questions than answers.

[G A McKee · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

This is an educational & entertaining read. A lot of dots are connected towards the end of the book in an attempt to come up with a picture of reality representing the US deep state. It is mostly speculation. A similar book could be written about another “revolt against the White House” in 2017-2020.

Sure, because it couldn’t just be a leftist commie sympathizer
