Released on the 100th anniversary of the birth of John Fitzgerald Kennedy,
this an expanded digital edition of False Mystery: Essays on the Assassination
of JFK by Vincent J. Salandria, edited by John Kelin.


The book cover is a sculpture by Auguste Rodin of Pierre De Wissant, a man who
chose to sacrifice himself in the chaos of the Hundred Years' War to save his
town from destruction. He was one in a group of six that Rodin was
commissioned in 1884 by the Major of Calais, France to create a monument for
as a tribute to the citizens of the French port town.[1][2] Photograph by Joe

"Vince Salandria is the greatest teacher we have on JFK. His False Mystery is
our classic foundation for understanding President Kennedy's assassination by
his national security state for choosing peace. Read it and learn."
                             -- Jim Douglass, author, JFK and the Unspeakable

In the murderous decades of C.I.A. and National Security State "deep
politics", Vincent Salandria held high the torch of truth. In the darkest of
times, his courage, compassion, and conscience created a beacon of truth for
all people of good will. Vincent Salandria is a gift for all time, a gift of
Truth in a dry white season of Lies! Take heart, U.S. Americans, for in our
land there is One Just Man.
          -- John Schuchardt, early JFK researcher, Swarthmore College Dean, 
                                                and one of the Plowshares 8

Vincent Salandria is a master of the citizen investigation of state crimes.
But once a crime has been solved, he says, we must stop debating details and
interpret the crime, thereby understanding our situation and gaining power
over our future. Endless false debating of false mysteries makes us complicit
in the very crimes we abhor. These are lessons we need as we face the serial
state crimes and frauds of the "war on terror."
                      -- Graeme MacQueen, author, The 2001 Anthrax Deception 
                                        - The Case for a Domestic Conspiracy

Dave Ratcliffe's digital edition of the essays of Vince Salandria on one of
the watershed moments of modern U.S. American history, the assassination of
JFK, is itself a milestone. The essays themselves are multifaceted and
incisive, and they bear witness to the attempts of a canny citizen who pursued
the truth tooth and nail and in so doing came up against a kind of macabre
behemoth not only in the State he was exposing, but in those of the so-called
Left who refused to admit to the obvious. And for those of us who were alive
at that fatal moment, the murder of JFK stands as a kind of perverse beacon
into the machinations of government and power -- their ruthlessness and the
utter hypocrisy and cynicism regarding actual democracy. Those today who have
been similarly shocked into recognition of a criminal Elite by the events of
9/11, may draw a tidy line back to the death of Kennedy. Thus the importance
of Salandria's work is now even greater and more necessary than ever. The
voice of this citizen lawyer in our times of astonishing State criminality and
lawlessness deserves to be heard by as many as possible.
                     -- Emanuel E. Garcia MD, Philadelphia-born poet, novelist, 
                                 essayist and physician residing in New Zealand

I have enormous respect for Vincent Salandria’s ground-breaking work as 
one of the earliest Warren Commission critics. Salandria's False Mystery 
distills a lifetime of critical analysis surrounding the most disturbing murder 
of the 20th century.
       -- Richard Belzer, actor and author, Hit List and Corporate Conspiracies
