Great book! Totally nails the perps up to Richard Helms in the CIA. (He wasn't able to directly finger Allen Dulles, the CIA Director whom JFK had fired--but Dulles was more than likely the top perp.)
Douglass says WHY! JFK was becoming a peace lover; refused to nuke Russia; opened backchannels to Krushchev to get around the CIA and the MIC and their warmongering; originated the "Nuclear Test Ban Treaty" (the first controls on nuke weapons) with Krushchev; was trying to de-escalate Vietnam and was planning to run for a second term in 1964 on a peace platform that he was sincere about.*
Douglass ALSO explains how so many people could be involved in the diabolical act of assassinating the president, at different levels of the conspiracy and with only "need to know" status, with many not knowing that they were helping the conspiracy, with complex misdirection involved, and with some of the perps thinking patriotically (in those "anti-communism" days) that JFK was a traitor.
"Why It Matters" is for us to figure out. Think about what a different world it would be if the U.S. had genuinely pledged itself to a peaceful world in 1964.*
It's very painful to think about. But we NEED to think about it, because those same warmongering forces are still with us and are even more capable today of diabolical conspiracies to keep the U.S. on a war footing--for war profiteer and corporate resource purposes--and to loot us blind.
That 9/11 was an inside conspiracy is totally possible, in my opinion--after reading Douglass' brilliant book and having lived through half a century of unnecessary wars, warmongering and war profiteering. I have no doubt at all, any more, about who killed JFK and why. Douglass solves that mystery. And there are such overwhelming holes in the "official story" about 9/11 as to warrant a complete new investigation.

*(LBJ ran on a peace platform in 1964, after JFK was killed, and won an overwhelming victory for peace--one of the biggest landslides in U.S. president history. But LBJ was LYING. He was escalating in Vietnam as he was selling himself as the "peace candidate." I remember this well because that was my first vote for president. I voted for peace--and got the bloodbath in Vietnam instead. The tragedy is that JFK would have been sincere about peace. Douglass establishes this without question. And the American people would have voted for it overwhelmingly. That is what the CIA was trying to prevent.)
