episode 172: Episode 172 A Recap of the Joan Mellen Interview on Taking Aim Radio
Episode 172 is a recap by me of our three part series which featured an interview of the author Joan Mellen on the Taking Aim Radio Program. Our three part series bonus episodes (wanders, really) supplements our ongoing story of the Garrison investigation in New Orleans and the related trial of Clay Shaw. Joan Mellen is the author of a well done investigative book entitled A Farewell to Justice. In a rare appearance to promote her book, Ms. Mellon participated in a radio interview that was presented by radio station WBAI in Brooklyn on the show Taking Aim. The conversation aired in October 2005, just prior to her book coming out. ..and it is quite revealing. In the three part series, Ms. Mellen engages in an intimate conversation about some of the most important investigative work done around the assassination itself and the Garrison investigation. Today's episode discussed and recaps the most important aspects of what we heard from Joan and her interviewers.
Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it, were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. This real-life story is more fascinating than fiction. No matter whether you are a serious researcher or a casual student, you will enjoy the fact filled narrative and story as we relive one of the most shocking moments in American History. An event that changed the nation and changed the world forever.
