JFK & The Unspeakable by James Douglass Book Review
zhlédnutí 2,2KPřed 11 měsíci
Maybe the most extensively researched book I've ever read. James Douglass left little room for debate with the facts he presented and remained honest about the genuine unknowns, even if the writer and reader and make logical inferences. He handles this controversial ordeal and it's heroic yet complicated subject with grace.

The Winners by Fredrik Backman Book Review
zhlédnutí 342Před rokem
The third book in the Beartown trilogy arrived like an early Christmas present. I was anticipating it, which made it even more joyful. I love to cozy up with Backman's books in the winter because even though they aren't the most challenging, I find them so engaging and the characters a beautifully crafted, especially after 2 whole books to build things up.

Pilgrimage 👍
i just bumped into your video today because of the book, and I'm happy I did. No one has made a review so far. I really liked your take on this and we share the same sentiments about recreational drugs so ii've subscribed. Keep your content coming! We love a good bookworm!
Thanks for suggestion
South Africa is facing the same problems in 2024 about surveillance and many other things and everyone look away and the world believe we are free but the truth is we black South Africans are not feee and have never been free
Great lighting!
Prayers for Palestine
Just discovered your channel. Great job. Subscribed! I'm reading this book for the 2nd time. Reads like an adventure novel. You have a great even handed approach to this book and Che.
Hey thank you very much! Appreciate ya taking the time to get out the channel & the video : )
Just bought it. I am excited
Hope you enjoy it!
I have been listening to a lot of info about the Nazis escape to South America at the end of WWII on the Dave Emory Podcast. So that is interesting having Che growing up there. I never read about the Cuban revolution. I should read this book. Thanks I HATE that the USA has these sanctions on Cuba forever.
Sold.
I just got done with the book today and heard good things about it. I felt like you did, so it was nice hearing your review. I was trying to find reviews to see if I missed something. I started reading Vonnegut 2 months ago and i am going to read one more (Welcome to the Monkey House) which will be my tenth. The thing about his works is they are easy reads. I am not a fast reader and I flew through his writings. He does jump around in some novels and sometimes i do get lost. THe beginning and the end of the book when Eliot is talked about i found interesting but in the middle of the book when talking about other people I got bored of it. What is your top 10 Vonnegut books? Or did you already make that video? This is the first video i have seen of yours.
It’s a heavy book, but important!
Excellent book review
thank you for your recommendation!!
New subscriber 😁
Thank you. Great video. Should have a million times more views. Tell your friends and neighbors.
I have research the assassination since 1964. This was a very good book. If one has never read a lot on the assassination, first read "Conspiracy Of Silence" by Dr, Charles Crenshaw. He was one of the doctors, when they brought Kennedy into Parkland Hospital. "Crossfire" by Jim Marrs is one of the best book I have ever read on the subject. Marrs goes into great detail. Always remember when read anything on the assassination...there were probably two Oswalds, the real one, the patsy and then the decoy. IMO, the real Oswald was not even on the 6th floor when the shooting started. He was in fact, a FBI low lever informer....CIA while in Russia.
Oswald acted alone and in 60 years no one has ever presented evidence showing anyone else's involvement.
They...you accept the Magic Bullet theory?
The evidence points to Oswald's innocence. The weapon found on the 6sixth floor of the School Book Depository Building was ineffective as a weapon. The FBI tested the weapon and even the best marksman could never duplicate what Oswald was supposed to have done. The Warren Commission report was a complete and other sham. If Oswald would have been able to give testimony at trail he would have walked. The government's case had absolutely no merit
Read jim Douglas's book
To believe the Warren Commission is to accept there are unicorns, that there is a Santa Claus, etc. Just the trail of suspicious deaths of key people who were there or connected to Lee Oswald is telling of a coverup. Do you remember where you were on 9/11? Of course (if you are old enough to remember.) Later CIA director & President Bush "forgot" where he was the day JFK was murdered. He was in Dallas helping to plan the murder of the President.
Oh, ok thanks
This is the best book there is about 2Pac. And chaos is the only book to trust when it comes to Charles Manson. Every other book, about Charles Manson, especially Ed Sanders, and district attorney, bugs, book, 📕 are straight up full of lies.
"I knew coming into it the story we've been told is not true." If the story you're referring to is that Lee Harvey Oswald killed JFK (and J.D. Tippit) it is absolutely true, and if you look at the actual forensic and ballistics evidence, and properly weigh all of the eyewitness and earwitness testimony, it becomes very clear that LHO killed JFK.
I was eleven years old when the CIA robbed us of this great brave young man. Less than ten years later, I was in the Army in Europe in the waning days of the Cold War. No other event in my life has effected me like that dark day in Dallas. Great review! (I'm currently on page 163.)
Currently reading🙏
Agreed and subbed👍🏻
The story is true! Conspiracy buffs never read the actual Warren report and HSCA report. I’ve owned and read dozens of conspiracy books (including Douglass book) and believed in conspiracy for 30 years, but I never read Warren or ANY official source. Then seven years ago I did. Every conspiracy theory is BS. If you want to review a book, do the Warren report. Or better yet do Vincent Bugliosi’s Reclaiming History
Can you maybe make a video of a book/books that is similar to this book? Or just write it here :) I would be very grateful
Thanks for the Video
Well done. I got this when it came out and found it a grind. Great ideas but leaden prose, unfun to read. You said it better than I can. Still, I'm glad it was written.
Look, man… You need to stop listening to crackpots ok?.. Ask yourself this.. Why is Lee repeatedly acting guilty on the streets of Oak Cliff?.. Why did he kill a cop (alleged)?.. Why did he discard his jacket (fact)?.. Why did he avoid the police with his back turned to the street in front of a shoe store (alleged)?.. And why did he try to commit suicide by cop when he was surrounded by cops in a theatre (fact)?.. Conspiracy guys just aren’t very bright, ok?.. James Douglass wouldn’t last 10 minutes with me..
JFK was in the US Navy, not the US Army.
This was such a great concise review. I appreciate that you were able to say everything you needed to say with in four minutes or less. Wish a lot of these book reviewers would follow suit.
This subject illuminates much about how governmental abuse can run amok. I'll check this out.
I started to read because i've seen the movie. I became disappointed because Daisy dies in the start. At the movie, she dies next to the end.
Crossfire by Jim marrs it's my favorite book
A great read and I believe what he wrote to be the truth.
Nice review man and yeah actual American history is honestly quite grotesque and depressing
And that is putting it lightly.
@@RedLeo-pf9yo1000% agree. It's so dark I understand why so many choose to bury their head in the sand tbh
In your experience what dosages you have found most terapheutic for yourself? Thanks for the review man!
From the mouths of babes. I love this review of an important book. His review is informal, but his comments are on the money. I just completed this book. This young reviewer--and his perspective--give me hope for the future in a very troubling time.
You can't poke holes in facts haha
Appreciated
One thing about the book i liked was they didn’t choose japanese names… Guess i will be making notes of the characters and keep on checking when ever a name came… same about the city names choosing k- village or T- town…
Really appreciate the recommendation!
One of my all time favorites. I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy it. It’s a wonderful satire. This book is for the blue collar man who wants less gambling, sex, and drugs in his literature and more dynamic storytelling through great vonnegut character development. When the book left Eliot for a few chapters and covered Fred, Bunny, Mrs. Rosewater, etc all I could think about was Eliot and what he was doing. I couldn’t wait to snap back to Eliot’s perspective. It’s a beautiful story. The average joe hates reading about the conniving lawyers, money money money, tennis, and sailing clubs and that makes Eliot that much more lovable to the target audience. The ending was such a huge build up where we thought Eliot was going to be proven insane and instead he turns around and finds a loophole to do what the lawyers told him he would never be able to do : to “squander” his fortune on charity
I’ve only read Anxious People by him & I really enjoyed that one. So I’ll have to add this on my tbr! Sounds intriguing
Always looking forward to watching your book reviews. 👏 And excellent review! Adding this book to my TBR list.
Much appreciated dude! Weird mix of "I cannot put this book down" and also feeling like I need to put this book down cause it's a lot. 100% worth it though.
appreciate the review mate thank you
Weak review
Great book. I like it’s original version even better!
What's the difference b/w the old and new version?

just finished this book and wanted to look up reviews to see if anyone got it better than me, glad to see I'm not alone!
