The mother of all conspiracies . . .

By Donald Jefferies - December 2, 2025

I recently watched the latest television network special on the JFK assassination: “Truth and Lies: Who Killed JFK?” from ABC News. While the names and faces were different, it was indistinguishable from all the other disinfo pieces produced by CBS, NBC, the Discovery Channel, etc. in the past. I watched it so you don’t have to.

In 1963, there were only three television networks. On November 22, CBS, NBC, and ABC launched unprecedented coverage of President Kennedy being shot while riding in a motorcade in Dallas, Texas. Not the actual shooting, of course. That was never shown. They set the template for all television news to come. They simply passed on official pronouncements from local law enforcement, the FBI, and the White House, which were consistently inconsistent and defied all common sense.

NBC signed an agreement, in the wake of the biggest story of the twentieth century, to air only information that supported the government’s official narrative. Six decades ago, a bunch of “journalists” who are almost all long dead, agreed not to do what they were supposedly paid to do; investigate and question. Dan Rather was then a young reporter for the Dallas CBS affiliate. He was front and center, and breathlessly went on the air to relate how he’d seen a copy of the Zapruder film.

That home movie was taken by Dallas dress manufacturer Abraham Zapruder. Giant “free press” outlet Life magazine paid Zapruder a huge sum of money for the film. Surely, you might think, this representative of the public’s right to know did so in order to beat the competition to the punch, and air the film is as many creative and profitable ways as possible. Actually, they buried it for twelve years. Suppressed it completely, like the Epstein Files. John D. Rockefeller would have been proud. If that seems like an odd thing to do, how odd was it that we had to rely on this grainy home video, to see exactly what happened in that presidential motorcade? There were a few other home movies of the event, including the never seen “Babushka film” (so called because the camerawoman wears a Russian scarf), which had the best view. Where was all the professional footage? The press was normally in front of every presidential motorcade, with their cameras trained on the smiling, handsome president. Not this time. Instead, they were packed into a bus several cars back in the motorcade.

Now, ABC News knew this in 1963. NBC knew it. CBS knew it. They also presumably knew that their ambitious local reporter Dan Rather was lying when he said that the Zapruder film showed JFK’s head going forward with great velocity. The film shows the exact opposite- the president’s head going back and to the left with tremendous force. Since the government claimed lone nut Lee Harvey Oswald was firing from above and behind, this obviously defied the laws of physics. They knew that there were multiple witnesses the government wasn’t interested in. At least six people who independently saw someone resembling Oswald running and entering a station wagon immediately after shots were fired. The Umbrella Man, pumping an open umbrella up and down on a sunny day. He was never identified, just like the Babushka Lady. The hole in the limo’s windshield. The absolute failure of the Secret Service to react to gunfire. Limo driver Bill Greer turning around instead of speeding away to safety.

The mainstream media knew all this and more. They knew that more people thought shots were fired from the front- the infamous Grassy Knoll- than from the building where Oswald worked. Look at the film- everyone is . . .
