Episode 233 A Deeper Look at the Radical Right Wing Groups and Characters of the Early 60's Part 10 Kent Courtney

JFK The Enduring Secret

Episode 233 is the  tenth in a series of episodes where we begin to explore the radical right groups of the 1960's that clearly had great motive to murder president Kennedy. Emerging, alongside civil rights leaders, as a prime target for ire of white racists,  anti-communists, and and a wide variety of other conservative groups, President Kennedy was a a target among them all. This aspect of the assassination and the connection of the radical right is little explored.  We started  many episodes back, with the story of Joseph Milteer but its rather easy to pull on that string and find much more underneath the covers. Today's episode Part 10 reiterates the possibility that the radical right could have had deeper involvement in the assassination machinery and today we also explore another lesser known character on the radical right Kent Courtney.  He is the first in a series of  right wing characters that we will explore more deeply.  Characters that help us understand more intuitively how the radical right may have fit into the picture.  Characters that advance our understanding of the nexus of connections between a wide array of actors within the  radical right. And with this exercise, we show how so many of these connections lead back to New Orleans and Dallas and to particular figures of the radical right including Guy Bannister. A nexus of connections with a common thread of hatred for President Kennedy. 

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.
