CIA Rogues and the Killing of the Kennedys

How and Why US Agents Conspired to Assassinate JFK and RFK

By: Patrick Nolan, Dr. Henry C. Lee - foreword

Narrated by: Stephen Bowlby

The US Central Intelligence Agency is no stranger to conspiracy and allegations of corruption. Across the globe, violent coups have been orchestrated, high-profile targets kidnapped, and world leaders dispatched at the hands of CIA agents. During the 1960's, on domestic soil, the methods used to protect their interests and themselves, at the expense of the American people, were no less ruthless.

In CIA Rogues and the Killing of the Kennedys, Patrick Nolan fearlessly investigates the CIA’s involvement in the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and Senator Robert F. Kennedy - why the brothers needed to die and how rogue intelligence agents orchestrated history’s most infamous conspiracy.

Nolan furthers the research of leading forensic scientists, historians, and scholars who agree that there remain serious unanswered questions regarding the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, fifty years ago, and Robert F. Kennedy in 1968. He revisits and refutes what is currently known about Lee Harvey Oswald and Sirhan Bishara Sirhan, and offers listeners a compelling profile of the CIA’s Richard Helms, an amoral master of clandestine operations with a chip on his shoulder.

Bolstered by a foreword by Dr. Henry C. Lee, one of the world’s foremost forensic authorities, CIA Rogues and the Killing of the Kennedys is an unmatched effort in forensic research and detective work. As the 50th anniversary of the JFK assassination approaches, Nolan has made a significant contribution to the literature on that fateful day in Dallas, as well as shed light on that dark night at the Ambassador Hotel. Listeners interested in conspiracy, the Kennedy family, or American history will find this audiobook invaluable.

Thirston Howell III's voice

The subject & detail offered in this book was concise and well written. The hardest part was listening to the narrator read it. At times, he sounded like the millionaire on Gilligan's Island... Good book otherwise.

Hangs the whole theory on MK Ultra

Presents compelling evidence about discrepancies between the known personalities and motives of LHO and SBS and what was later claimed about them by the official assassination accounts, but this author’s theory is heavily dependent on the CIA’s secret MK Ultra program to explain the events. If you find it far fetched that hypnosis control can explain the complicated series of events in both assassinations, this book is not very convincing. The author also loses credibility in the final chapter by presenting the case of an amateur photographer who claimed to have been in the pantry at the Ambassador Hotel during the assassination of RFK and claimed that his photos of the events were confiscated by law enforcement and never returned. This man, Scott Enyart, has since been thoroughly discredited and there’s no evidence that he actually witnessed let alone photographed RFK’s assassination. The author fails to mention the problems with Enyart’s story and this leaves me wondering what other one-aided anecdotes he misrepresented elsewhere in his text.

Fascinating

The information provided here is utterly fascinating and extremely interesting. The only drawback in listening to the audiobook is the narrator. His patrician accent, whereby every vowel at the end of a sentence or statement feels like it’s being vacuumed of the air he needs to be pronounce it, is very, very distracting.

sounds good, but

Alot of this makes sense 🤔 except, the logistics don't add up.I really don't see the CIA going through all the trouble to create a patsy and then the actual killers tell everyone they did it on the way out of the hotel. I did air force logistics, it took a lot of logistics to pull this off, and JFK, apparently went to Dallas in a reactionary function to pull the party together show did they know the 3 months in advance to put Oswalt there. there may be answers but this book , for me, creates questions.

enjoyed

actual writing is pretty bland but the content is very interesting. overall I enjoyed it.

Very interesting

This is a very interesting listen/read. I recommend if you are interested in the Kennedy assassinations.

Information

Addicting to listen to. The information in this book has twist and turns that keeps you hanging on every edge.

Mind opening read.

I have always suspected that the Kennedy murders along with MLK’s were part of a larger political plot to avoid changing the status quo. The details In this well written book makes a very strong case for the narrative they put forth. If true, it is much more disturbing than the story told to the public.

Absolutely LOVED it!

So much to think about it will make your head spin, in a good way....WOW!

Reader is:

Often very nasally when pronouncing the last word in a sentence
Otherwise this is a VERY INTERESTING book. Many people feel like the CIA is out of control today. This shows that has been TRUE for a VERY LONG TIME.
