Description

Episode 170 is  part 2 in a  three part series of  bonus episodes which  supplement our  story of the Garrison investigation in  New Orleans and the related trial of Clay Shaw.  Joan Mellon is the author of a well done  investigative book entitled  A Farewell to Justice. In  a rare appearance to promote her book, Ms. Mellon  participated in a radio interview that was presented by radio station WBAI in Brooklyn on the show Taking Aim. The conversation aired in October 2005, just prior to her book coming out. ..and it is quite revealing.  Hear Ms. Mellon  in an intimate conversation about some of the most important investigative work done around the assassination itself and the Garrison investigation.  And, as a bonus, the interview was  conducted by Ralph Shoenman and Mya Shone. Shone was a documentary filmmaker and Shoenman was  a left wing activist who was involved in  some of the original investigative work on the Kennedy assassination and who  made acquaintance with Mark Lane. Shoenman   had previously gone to  work for Bertrand Russell in 1960, and he was a major force behind Bertrand Russell's  important and highly influential/controversial 1964 article entitled 16 Questions  on the  Assassination. Russell was one of the most  influential philosophers and social activists  of the 20th century and  he won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1950. Russell would later break with Shoenman, citing various allegations of wrongdoing while working at Russell's foundation (and) in an attempt to distance himself from some of Shoenman's  more radical activities. Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over  the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it,  were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. This  real-life story is more fascinating than fiction. No matter whether you are a serious researcher or a casual student, you will enjoy the fact filled narrative and story as  we relive one of the most shocking moments in American History. An event that changed the nation and changed the world forever.
