The death of JFK, Jr., - accident or assassination? Exploding the
Truth: The JFK, Jr. Assassination presents evidence of a conspiracy
to assassinate the only surviving son of President John F. Kennedy
and considers the motives that many powerful forces had, to make
sure he never set foot in the White House. Divided into two parts,
Part One examines the potential motives the Bush family, the
C.I.A., and perhaps even Israeli intelligence, had to eliminate
JFK, Jr. Part Two systematically dismantles the official version of
events, that JFK, Jr., crashed his plane due to pilot error, and
examines both the evidence of a government cover-up at the crime
scene, and the extensive eyewitness reports of an explosion that
brought the aircraft down.
The lame walked. The blind could see. Lepers were healed. These are
some of the miracles attributed to the intercession of Father
Patrick Power. In November 1929, a million people flocked to his
grave in Holy Cross Cemetery in Malden, Massachusetts, to seek one
thing, a miracle. Despite the fact that Power had been dead for
nearly six decades, many insisted that they had been miraculously
cured by him. This is the story of the mysterious life, and
afterlife, of this enigmatic, Irish-born, Boston priest who never
made it a day past the age of 25. Using previously unpublished
interviews, and archival documents, Supernatural Power examines the
historical record surrounding all of the known miracles attributed
to Father Power, during his life, and after his death. Supernatural
Power also objectively examines the complex events of autumn, 1929,
when Power's grave seemed to turn into a "wonder shrine." Is
Power's final resting place still, to this day, a sacred location
for the miraculous, a portal between the powers of this world, and
the next? Historian John Koerner, author of The Mysteries of Father
Baker (Western New York Wares, 2005) has once again written a
meticulously researched book that examines why people, even to this
day, insist that Patrick Power may have been more than just a young
priest, but a gifted "wonder worker" as well.
This book breaks new ground in two important areas that have yet to
be linked and explored by any JFK-assassination historian. John
Koerner argues that the CIA's secret drug trade in Laos, and the
president's effort to end it, provided the primary motive that the
CIA needed to assassinate the president. A lot of effort has been
made to examine the president's Vietnam policy, but precious little
attention has been paid to the opium trade in Laos that was making
the CIA wealthy and powerful beyond its wildest dreams. This book
chronicles the president's secret war with the CIA over Laos, a
high-stakes game that cost him his life. Koerner also links the JFK
assassination and the drug trade with the other three major
assassinations of the 1960s: Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, and
Robert F. Kennedy. We will see that all four of the assassinations
are linked together, all funded and executed by the CIA to silence
the four most vocal leaders who were opposed to the agency's
pro-war and pro-drug policy in Laos and Vietnam. Finally, Koerner
examines the impact this has had on the course of history, and
imagines a world where these men had lived.
