For the Record with David Emory #1325
In his first new episode after a hiatus, Dave returns to legal "Chokeholds" in the JFK assassination with a two-part interview, FTR 1325 and 1326. These programs continue the presentation of the legal concept of “Chokeholds” on the JFK assassination–dynamics that prove, legally, that there was a conspiracy.
These do not necessarily resonate precisely with aspects of the historical record, which embraces, but does not delineate, principles of law.
In these broadcasts, Jim DiEugenio, Paul Bleau and Mr. Emory are joined by Matt Crumpton, one of the contributors to the book, a lawyer and author of a brilliant chapter of the volume dealing with the Oswald impersonators.
We conclude the first broadcast with a tribute to the recently-deceased Cyril Wecht and Dr. William F. Pepper (who proved in court a conspiracy in the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.).
KPFK is in our summer on-air membership and funding drive, and will again be offering David Emory's flash drive with dozens of hours of earlier conversations and interviews with Jim DiEugenio about the making of Oliver Stone's JFK, and that also has the 25-hour series on Destiny Betrayed, Jim's book. It's a thank-you gift for a pledge of $100 to support For the Record, Something's Happening, and KPFK.
