It was an extraordinary yet now forgotten event: on July 15, 1967, NBC gave New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison nearly half an hour to rebut an earlier NBC show that had criticized how Garrison had conducted an investigation of people he thought were involved in the assassination of John F. Kennedy. The segment was extraordinary because today we are accustomed to the major news outlets only allowing one point of view to be heard. It was doubly extraordinary because Garrison took the opportunity to explain to the American people that they were being lied to by the political and media elites, in words that are even truer today than they were when he spoke them.
Garrison’s central point was that the findings of the Warren Commission that investigated the circumstances of the Kennedy assassination were false, a claim that he neatly established by showing that the Commission’s reconstruction of the path of a bullet that supposedly hit JFK and then passed into the body of Texas Governor John Connally was physically impossible. Garrison contended that Lee Harvey Oswald was not and could not have been the lone assassin of Kennedy, and that he was, in fact, a CIA operative. The hit on Kennedy, according to Garrison, was a CIA operation emanating from the agency’s dislike of the Kennedy administration’s moves toward a thaw in the Cold War with the Soviet Union.
That’s an eminently plausible theory, as it coincides with the warning that Kennedy’s predecessor, Dwight D. Eisenhower, issued about the military-industrial complex and its interest in keeping the nation embroiled in endless wars (the Vietnam war was just heating up at the time as a proxy war between the U.S. and the Soviet Union). In the course of explaining it, Garrison made several statements that could have been uttered by any astute observer of the political scene in 2023. Above all, he said: “Many of the things that the major news agencies have been telling you are untrue.” Well, yeah.
