Ken McCarthy on "JFK and RFK’s Secret Battle Against Zionist Extremism"
Author-researcher Ken McCarthy discusses his new book (coauthored with Rick Sterling) JFK and RFK's Secret Battle Against Zionist Extremism: The Documentary Evidence. The majority of the book consists of declassified US government documents showing that the Kennedy brothers waged a secret war against Israeli extremists and the Zionist lobby. Other chapters present evidence that CIA counterintelligence chief James Angleton worked with Israel to assassinate the Kennedys. The final chapter provides an excellent synopsis of the 1968 RFK assassination and what the evidence suggests really happened.
Ken McCarthy also has a new video: “Why Are These Israelis Dancing?”

Welcome to Truth Jihad Audiovisual. I'm Kevin Barrett, seeking out the most interesting minds with something off the beaten path to say. Today, we're going back to Ken McCarthy. He was on this show talking about Anthony Fauci a while back, in a whole different era, the COVID era. And now we're talking about a topic that is becoming increasingly prominent, which is the misdeeds of Israeli extremists in general, and what they may have done to the Kennedys in particular.

Right. It's like “wet water.” And I have to say, Kevin's modest. He was one of the first brave people to let me on to talk about the fact that maybe Anthony Fauci is not such a good guy. And he and I both got considerable heat in the early days for daring to suggest anything like that. And maybe it turns out Fauci wasn't such a good guy after all.
Right. Well, my audience was prepared to believe the worst about Fauci pretty much from the get-go. I have a pretty discerning audience. But yeah, you were totally on the money with that one. I think your book came out well before RFKs, right?
I had a film that came out called Fauci's First Fraud that came out a year before Kennedy's book.
That's right.
And then I was actually a significant contributor to the Kennedy book. I'm footnoted 52 times or something like that.
Well, that was a great book. And this one, too, is a useful contribution to this literature that's developed (around Israel and the Kennedy assassinations). It started, of course, with Michael Collins Piper's Final Judgment, the JFK book that crept up on us.
Right.
At first, that was the weird one. Everybody else blamed the CIA. An
