The Journey 124. David Denton: The JFK Assassination (There is No Statute of Limitations on Justice)
Publisher R. A. “Kris” Millegan recently spoke with David Denton (listen HERE) about the JFK assassination, his college students and their open minds, the destruction of trust in our government and media, and how truth and justice might arrest our slide into irreversible tyranny.
David Denton has been a social science professor at Olney Central College in Illinois since 1990. In 2001 he began teaching a course on the 1960s assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. In 2013 he began organizing events and conferences, and giving presentations, about the assassinations, Lee Harvey Oswald, and the Vietnam War. A collection of his articles, “Essays on the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy,” was published by Midnight Writer News and is available at Lulu.com.
David had been giving presentations about the JFK assassination to local audiences. His Dean asked, “Why don’t you make this into a class?” So he did.
David: “I always tell my students the quote from Cicero. ‘Not to know what happened before you were born is to remain a child forever.’ We need not to be children forever when it comes to the JFK assassination. We need still, after 60 years, to get to that greater truth, and that’s always been my pursuit, just like it is for you, Kris, right?”
Kris: “Amen. It’s so heartening, when we go to these conferences, you bring your students. It’s nice to see these young people get that knowledge and get that experience.”
David: “I try to teach, why JFK’s assassination is still important and so controversial after 60 years. I always tell my students, ‘Democracy is hard.’ There is no statute of limitations on justice. We have to get these things right.”
Kris: “I was in 9th grade when it happened. It was traumatic. And then two days later, you see a guy get shot, live on TV [Lee Harvey Oswald]. That doesn’t leave you.”
“When I came to these conferences, I was a bit of an outlier, talking about secret societies and mind control. I see some ducks that were put in a row [for his assassination] before Kennedy was even elected. Most people were saying it was the military-industrial complex.”
“But as time goes on, it’s interesting to see the secret societies and the mind control subjects do get into the conversation.”
