Reality with Bruce de Torres 63 Monika Wiesak: Unraveling the Murder of JFK
Monika Wiesak is the author of AMERICA'S LAST PRESIDENT: What the World Lost When It Lost John F. Kennedy, MICHAEL JACKSON: The Man, the Music, the Controversy, and her new book, ECHOES OF A LOST AMERICA: Unraveling the Murder of JFK.
The back cover says:
JFK’s assassination “fundamentally shifted the course of history. Yet … What exactly transpired on that devastating day in Dallas and in the months leading up to it? Who emerged victorious and who suffered defeat, both in the immediate aftermath and in the decades that ensued? And how did the perpetrators ensure they would not face consequences? Only through a comprehensive examination of the evidence, devoid of any preconceptions, can we begin to uncover the answers to these questions.”
From our conversation:
If you want to understand America today, you have to understand JFK’s assassination. Monica describes an article by Charles Eisenstein, THE AMERICA THAT ALMOST WAS AND YET MAY BE, which says JFK’s assassination “is like a radioactive pellet lodged inside the body politic, generating an endlessly metastasizing cancer that no one has been able to trace to its source.”
Her book also recounts the evidence that Robert F. Kennedy was killed by a conspiracy, not Sirhan Sirhan, in 1968, and asks many questions about JFK Jr’s 1999 plane crash: Why so many contradictory reports about his flying skills and the weather that night? Why did the Pentagon commandeer and unnecessarily prolong the search for and retrieval of the plane? Why were the bodies so quickly autopsied and cremated? Why were witnesses who described an explosion in the sky ignored?
Bruce said that JFK’s administration and assassination have been the most important non-personal things in his life for 20 years.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
