Unredacted Episode 5: Interview with Martin Schotz

Welcome to Unredacted, the MFF's interview show featuring authors and experts on the Kennedy assassination and related topics. This episode features an interview with E. Martin Schotz, author of History Will Not Absolve Us: Orwellian control, public denial, and the murder of President Kennedy. Martin Schotz' book and this interview discuss the "false mystery" around who killed President Kennedy and why, presenting core information which establishes a conspiracy and further that the murder was a state crime. Schotz delves into the issues of psychological denial, including revealing stories which show the process of denial at work among establishment media, Kennedy supporters, and even the "left." The book also includes relevant primary documents including Kennedy's speech to the American University, a speech made by Fidel Castro the day following the assassination, and the memo in which Assistant Attorney General Katzenbach laid down the need for a coverup. A few of these are available on this page.

Katzenbach Memo.
