Featured: From the Archives
Kennedys And King continues the feature from CTKA where we present again certain important stories that Probe Magazine published in its seven year run. These stories were not included in the anthology from that journal entitled The Assassinations. That book, which Lisa Pease and I are very proud of, is still being sold on Amazon. But at our publisher's suggestion, we cut many articles out of it for reasons of length. What we cut out could have in fact made up a second volume.
Since much of that material was distinguished, we think it deserves to be circulated again. And by doing so we give our new readers an opportunity to understand what Probe Magazine was really like, and why so many recall it as the very best publication of its kind. We also hope to give you an example of what The Assassinations is made up of and what is available on the Probe CD.

The Media Buries the Conspiracy Verdict in the King CaseWritten by James DiEugenioJim DiEugenio chronicles the media cover-up of the conspiracy verdict in the civil suit brought against Loyd Jowers by attorney William Pepper on behalf of the Martin Luther King Jr. family. Although the 12 jurors found Jowers liable for King’s death, the New York Times reported that “a vast conspiracy [was] alleged but not proved.” As Jim surveys the rest of the coverage, this editorial position in a news story is endemic of the mainstream media reporting on this case in general and this trial verdict in particular.Written on %PM, %31 %960 %2022 %22:%Jul

Deeper into Dave PerryWritten by Bob FoxThere is a lot more to the Bledsoe arrest report than Dave Perry ever let on. Perry's writing is so incomplete, so one-sided, so agenda-driven as to be misleading. Which, as we have seen with Discovery Channel, is par for the course with him, writes Bob Fox.Written on %PM, %16 %843 %2010 %19:%Oct -

The Connally BulletWritten by Robert HarrisThe bullet or large fragment that Nolan turned in was obviously not from Oswald's rifle. If it was, the FBI would have flaunted it as absolute proof of the accused assassin's guilt. Instead, it provided absolute proof that Connally was hit by a bullet from a different assassin. Until recently, only Hoover and a handful of others were aware of that, concludes Robert Harris.Written on %PM, %29 %745 %2011 %16:%Jul -

The Real Wikipedia? Will the Real Wikipedia Please Stand Up?Written by J. P. MrozMroz makes the central focus of this article the disinformation within JFK research data.

Gary Mack's "Magical" Powers of DissuasionWritten by Ryan SiebenthalerWriting of an episode of Unsolved History, Ryan Siebenthaler states: "The show's producers and Mr. Mack are not working from empirical evidence in their deductions. They had an agenda ... to make the audience believe that there was no frontal shot. If the reader recalls, Mr. Mack did the same thing for Discovery Channel's Inside the Target Car, even altering the position of Jackie Kennedy's stand in inside the limousine".Written on %PM, %23 %740 %2014 %16:%Jan -

- JFK at 100Written by Kennedys&King
On May 29, 2017, the nation commemorated the 100th birthday of President John F. Kennedy. As we all know, Kennedy was cut down before reaching the age of 50. Yet, his short term in office still casts a giant shadow over contemporary American history. As author Larry Sabato has shown, the vast majority of Americans believe that something went wrong with America after he was assassinated. We take this opportunity to remind us all of what might have been and to commemorate what was. And it's important, too, to learn about the many things Kennedy achieved while in office, but which you won't hear about from today's mainstream media.
The images below are linked to a four-part slideshow and afterword featuring highlights from the life and political career of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, 35th President of the United States, which we hope you will find informative.
