Summary

Matthew Smith argues in this book that JFK was murdered on orders emanating from the "alternative government": the establishment which eased the concerns of "big business" and which Kennedy was in the process of divesting of power and relegating to a lower priority in favour of the people.

JFK by M Smith

American distrust of government, politicians and authority in general can be traced back to the time of the official investigation into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, and the suspicion fostered by the publication of the Warren report, the government version of what happened to America's most infamous president. There has been little published on the subject in the last ten years, a period which has seen much activity and distinct progress in our understanding of what exactly happened before and after Kennedy was killed and how it was so successfully covered up. "Say Goodbye to America" contextualizes the debate and comes to a shocking conclusion. According to new information gathered and assessed by Matthew Smith, JFK was murdered on orders emanating from the "alternative" government: the Establishment which eased the concerns of "big business" and which Kennedy was in the process of divesting of power and relegating to a lower priority in favour of promoting a government which put the people and their needs first. Kennedy's new priorities won him few friends in government and "Say Goodbye to America" emphasizes the fact that most of his policies were dismantled in the 18 months immediately following his death. Indeed, his policy to withdraw from the early situation in Vietnam was changed within hours. A Washington meeting attended by the parties concerned in government, together with new President Lyndon B. Johnson, met just two days after the murder. They reversed his policy forthwith and the war in Vietnam became a political objective - all of which took place before Kennedy was even buried. President Lyndon B. Johnson ordered an investigation into JFK's murder. However, it was biased, inaccurate, misleading and an affront to the American people. The assassination and sham inquiry which followed highlighted for many Americans the end of a golden era and they were forced to say goodbye to the country they knew. By piecing together new evidence, Matthew Smith's explosive new book highlights the role of domestic and international business concerns in American government. He questions the "lone-gunman" theory and, further, looks to the changes in the government's policy after JFK's assassination and the fact that the Vietnam War generated "business" to the value of US$200 billion. An accident? Matthew Smith doesn't think so...
