The Intrigues Behind Political Assassinations in America: From Abraham Lincoln to Charlie Kirk

As Black revolutionary H. Rap Brown famously declared during the 1967 racial riots in Detroit, "Violence is as American as cherry pie." While violence is evident in its endless wars waged around the globe and in gun violence and mass shootings in American cities, the extent of its eruption into domestic politics remains largely unacknowledged. Ten American presidents have been the targets or apparent targets of assassins, as have five presidential candidates. Eight governors, seven U.S. Senators, nine U.S. House members, eleven mayors, a U.S. Treasury Secretary and seventeen state legislators have also been victims of political violence. So have the country's first Secretary of Defense, a White House Counsel and a Secretary of Commerce, a CIA biochemist, numerous journalists and witnesses to state crimes, and even Beatles singer, John Lennon. Then there's Epstein and Charlie Kirk.

Successful, professional, credentialed historians continue to attribute known politically-related assassinations in this country to deranged loners--or "lonely oddballs with a firearm fixation." Nothing else to see here, folks. Cases closed.

Political Assassinations in America aims to debunk this ahistorical record. It shows that the struggle to gain or preserve political power in America has resulted in conspiracies that led to targeted assassinations--just like in other countries--which in turn have resulted in major policy shifts that were usually negative. A pattern of intelligence agency engagement can be discerned in many of the assassinations while a dense network of interconnected players across a range of high-profile crimes emerges, exposing the dark, thorough and very intricate complexity of American secret operations.

This book provides a rich trove for sleuths tracking down FBI/CIA conspiracies. Its notes effectively provide an archive of the findings of a wide spectrum of investigative sources who, over the years have been probing the official narratives' holes, with their findings appearing in books, newspaper articles, and videos, yet remaining unacknowledged by an insouciant public and complicit officialdom.

America will not look the same to you after reading this book. Think of it as a companion piece to the Epstein files.
