They Killed Our President: 63 Reasons to Believe There Was a Conspiracy to Assassinate JFK

Rate this book
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past fifty years, you’re aware of the many hypotheses that the assassination of President John F. Kennedy was not done by one man. Whether you’ve read one or a dozen of the books on this topic, there’s no way to fully grasp the depth of this conspiracy.

 For the first time ever, New York Times bestselling authors Jesse Ventura and Dick Russell have teamed up with some of the most respected and influential assassination researchers to put together the ultimate compendium that covers every angle—from the plot to the murder—of JFK. They Killed Our President will not only discuss the most famous of theories, but will also bring to light new and recently discovered information, which together shows that the United States government not only was behind this egregious plot, but took every step to make sure that the truth would not come out.
With 2013 marking the fiftieth anniversary of JFK’s assassination, this is the perfect time for They Killed Our President to be available to readers. The research and information in this book are unprecedented, and there’s nobody better to bring this to everyone’s attention than the former governor of Minnesota and US Navy SEAL, Jesse Ventura.

Jesse Ventura

41 books173 followers
Jesse Ventura is an American politician, actor, author, veteran, and former professional wrestler who served as the 38th Governor of Minnesota from 1999 to 2003.

Ventura served as a U.S. Navy Underwater Demolition Team member during the Vietnam War. He had a long tenure in the World Wrestling Federation, and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2004.

In 1951, James George Janos, later known as Jesse "The Body" Ventura, was born in Minneapolis to George and Bernice Janos. Janos joined the U.S. Navy and spent time in the Vietnam War. He was briefly a bodyguard for the Rolling Stones. Janos developed a rigorous workout routine, and his newly muscular physique attracted the attention of famous Midwest wrestling promoter Bob Geigel. He began wrestling professionally in the mid-1970s and changed his name to the one that made him famous, Jesse "The Body" Ventura. He continued wrestling in the national spotlight until 1984, when emergency hospitalization due to blood clots in his lungs made him miss a title match against Hulk Hogan, and ended his professional wrestling career. He spent the next five years as a wrestling commentator for various television and radio programs. He acted in a handful of films, including several Arnold Schwarzenegger movies: "Predator" (1987), "The Running Man" (1987) and "Batman & Robin" (1997). In 1990, Ventura ran against and defeated the 18-year incumbent mayor of Brooklyn Park, Minn., serving until 1995. He campaigned for governor as a third-party candidate, and was one of the pioneering politicians who reached out to new voters via the Internet. He was elected as Minnesota governor in 1998, and proved to be a progressive politician, strongly backing gay rights, abortion rights, funding higher education, third-party politics, mass transit, property tax reform and opening trade relations with Cuba. Ventura Decided not to run for reelection because he wanted his family to regain their privacy.

The Freedom From Religion Foundation awarded the former governor the 1999 "Emperor Has No Clothes Award" for his "plain speaking" on religion and, as governor, for rejecting proposals to entangle state and church, including refusing to proclaim for Minnesota a "Day of Prayer." As governor, Ventura vetoed a bill that would have required students to recite the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools. Ventura, on refusing to sign a National Day of Prayer in 1999, said: "I believe in the separation of church and state. We all have our own religious beliefs. There are people out there who are atheists, who don't believe at all. They are all citizens of Minnesota and I have to respect that" (Minnesota Independent, "Despite court decision, National Day of Prayer will endure in Minnesota," by Andy Birkey, April 20, 2010). In his 2009 book Don't Start the Revolution Without Me! (co-authored with Dick Russell), Ventura writes: "I was the only governor of all fifty who would not declare a National Day of Prayer. I took a lot of heat for that, and my response was very simple: Why do people need the government to tell them to pray? Pray all you want! Pray fifty times a day if you desire, it's not my business! . . . If I declare National Day of Prayer, then I've got to declare National No-Prayer Day for the atheists. They are American citizens too" (p. 58). "For me, the lines between church and state seem to become more blurred by the day. The First Amendment protects freedom of speech, thought — and religion. Nowhere is it mandated that we're the Christian States of America. . . . That's made us, I think, a stronger and more democratic nation. . . . It's abundantly clear that our Founding Fathers wanted to prevent our government from establishing a 'national church'" (p. 59).

A generous 2-stars

There are some very good books about the JFK assassination. This is not one of them. While he occasionally makes a good point or raises a good question, most of it is just bluster and bullshit; anyone without the relevant background information may not know which is which.

In short, if you have a pretty good understanding of the issues surrounding the JFK assassination, you might find some value in this one; otherwise, don’t touch this with a 10-foot pole. Better to avoid it altogether than have to unlearn bad information.

I really wanted to like this book. I admire everyone who tackles this issue. There are few rewards and lots of obstacles. But I've read a number of books on this topic, and I have to say this one ranks as one of the worst.

First, the positives: Ventura divides the subject matter in a way that makes it easy to digest, with chapters on "The Evidence," "The Cover-Up," "The Witnesses," and "The Why, Who, and How." One downside of this categorization is that some of the material fits more than one place and has to be repeated, but overall, I think it's a plan that works.

Ventura also covers a lot of territory. He has done his homework and knows the work of other conspiracy theorists well.

Now the negatives: 99% of this material has been covered elsewhere. There is almost no new research. That might not be so bad if the book were presented as a compendium of the research out there, but it's not. The most egregious fault is that Ventura uses block quotations over and over again, not to bring forward evidence in the words of the person presenting it but rather to give opinions about the evidence. It's as though the author doesn't think his own opinion carries any weight but if he can say that so-and-so well-known expert also thinks a certain thing, then we will believe it.

The sources quoted to prove the "facts" are rarely first-hand. Often they are third-hand! "So-and-so said that so-and-so said that such-and-such was true" -- this doesn't prove anything, but Ventura doesn't even seem to realize this.

The style of writing is also annoying. Superlatives are liberally sprayed throughout to convince us: "A very credible witness," "A completely convincing story," and on and on. I would like to make my own decision as to whether what he presents is convincing, thank you very much. Also, a minor annoyance: I have never seen block quotations centered before, as they are here.

If you've read a lot of this kind of thing, you will probably be as annoyed as I was because there are in fact some very good books on this subject by people who actually are good journalists. If you haven't read anything else on this subject, you will undoubtedly learn something. But the problem is that, since fact and opinion are undifferentiated here, you won't know exactly what.

As someone who’s been studying the JFK Assassination for 20 years, I initially thought this Jesse Ventura authored collection would simply be a recounting of the basic facts of the murder. But it’s much more than that, actually, presenting 63 of the biggest inconsistencies in the official (grossly inaccurate) narrative, and then detailing and expanding on them.

While this book is a great starting point for those interested in knowing the lies surrounding JFK’s brutal murder, there’s also a wealth of addition information, some of which I wasn’t even aware of.

Excellent research and presentation.

Jesse Ventura seems to never have heard a JFK conspiracy theory that he didn't believe. Many of the reasons were debunked long ago (motorcade route being changed at the last minute, the "magic" bullet, Oswald could not have gotten all three shots off in time, etc). Most of the sources he cites are other conspiracy authors, many of questionable credibility. Seriously, citing Jim Garrison as a source and then claiming he is credible just because he was a District Attorney? And some of the reasons contradict others. For example, there is a chapter claiming that the Zapruder film may have been altered to make it appear that JFK was hit by a shot from the rear. And yet in other places the famous "back and to the left" head snap is evidence of a shot from the front right. Which is it?

I have no doubt that Jesse Ventura is sincere in his belief of a conspiracy, but he is not at all discerning in the evidence that he is will to accept. Of course, being discerning about conspiracy "evidence" usually leads to the realization that there was likely not a conspiracy to kill JFK after all.

I gave it two stars because it's an easy read and the author is clearly enthusiastic about the topic.

I'm really into conspiracy theories, and I've read quite a few JFK assassination books.. so kind of consider myself an expert of sorts on this topic.

I wanted to like this one but I honestly just couldn't. I got bored towards the end and his so called "sources" were sketchy to me. When I was reading it, for some of the stuff I was like "how did he get this, there is no way". His style of writing is very informal as well. But, there is a bit of interesting stuff in there; I learned of some conspiracies that I haven't come across before, so that's something I guess :D

Personal Response:
I did not enjoy reading They Killed Our President by Jesse Ventura. I did not enjoy reading this book because the author’s writing style was very informal making it hard to view his claims as credible. Most of the facts presented in the book were from other authors on the subject, many without history degrees. He also made some political statements about censorship that really did not belong in this type of book.

Plot Summary:
The plot of this book was just as the title said, 63 points as to why the author believed there was a conspiracy to assassinate John F. Kennedy. The book contained 63 chapters, with each chapter being another set of facts supporting the conspiracy. Some of the chapters included facts that had been referred to multiple times throughout the book. This made the plot seem like a high school research essay rather than a nonfiction novel. As it progressed, the theories became increasingly far fetched. For example, one of the points made was that Lee Harvey Oswald, the man who orchestrated the assassination, was not shooting directly at Kennedy, but rather at those trying to kill the president.There were also diagrams included in some chapters to give the reader a better understanding of what was trying to be presented.

Characterization:
Since it was nonfiction, there were many references to characters. There were some references to people that have done research and written books on the assassination. The one person mentioned the most was John F. Kennedy. He was assassinated in Dallas, Texas in 1963. Lee Harvey Oswald was mentioned quite a lot due to the fact that he was the perpetrator. The book tried to prove that Oswald did not work alone in the event. The author referenced that Oswald’s character was not likely to commit a crime as heinous as killing the President of the United States of America. It was written in first person from the perspective of the author.

Effect of Setting on Plot:
This book took place in modern day, fifty years after John F. Kennedy was assassinated. This affected the plot because the author had to explain how some of the evidence had been lost or destroyed since 1963. This also was important because data collected through modern technology was presented. There was not an exact place the storyline described, but there were many references Downtown Dallas, Texas, where Kennedy was killed.

Thematic Connection:
The main themes were manipulation and illusion of power. Manipulation was a theme because the author tried to convince the reader that the government was manipulating people to think that one man killed Kennedy. Illusion of power was a theme because there were facts presented that the government is too powerful and can twist facts around.



Recommendation:
I would not recommend this book to anyone. I would not recommend it because the facts that were presented were at times circumstantial and the sources that the author claimed as credible really were not. If someone wanted to suffer through this book, I would think a seventh grader and older could read it as the word choice was quite simple and the sentences were not very long in length.

If you are anything like me, you probably don't need 63 reasons to believe there was a conspiracy to assassinate JFK (as the book's subtitle suggests, verbatim). But Jesse Ventura is gonna give 'em to ya anyway. Co-authored with Dick Russell and David Wayne, They Killed Our President outlines the events leading up to and in the aftermath of John F. Kennedy's assassination in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963.

I did not belong to that era; it was 21 years before my time. My dad, however, still recalls exactly where he was and what he was doing the moment he heard over the news that JFK had been shot. That my 9/11. It's something that stays with you, haunts you. Ventura reminds readers of why JFK's assassination haunts our nation until this day.

Reason after reason, Ventura details why Lee Harvey Oswald was not the "lone nut" he was made out to be. Oswald remains a baffling figure who worked as a U.S. intelligence operative and, from all accounts, did not actually have a motive for murdering the President or the ill-fated Officer Tippit, who was gunned down not long after President Kennedy's motorcade came under attack. A motorcade which, by all accounts, was a pretty wide-open, slow-moving target with minimized security detail.

Throughout the book, Ventura establishes the evidence, illustrates Oswald's connection to his killer Jack Ruby, the cover-up of evidence that took place (including the silencing of multiple witnesses), the witnesses themselves, and who stood to gain something from Kennedy's death.

All of the evidence that Ventura so thoroughly highlights is further compounded by the recent releases of previously-classified documents regarding the assassination (which can be accessed here). One of the documents released in August of 2017 shows that, in 1956, Earle Cabell (who was the mayor of Dallas in 1963) was listed as a CIA asset. Another document, released December 15, 2017, revealed that New Orleans bar owner Orest Pena identified Oswald as being his fellow intelligence operative. All of these things make even more sense after reading Ventura's book, yet the assassination itself will always be senseless.

Ventura hammers home his point in the conclusion of the book, where he reminds us that we are still being played. Kennedy, the "patsy" Oswald, the numerous silenced witnesses... They were getting played in 1963.

This book isn't for everyone, but it does not require that you put on a tinfoil hat and start living off-the-grid. It requires compassion for a man (two men if you include Officer Tippit, and three if you include Governor John Connally, who survived his wounds) who was gunned down just so that others could get what they want.

There are so many JFK assassination books written every year that for newcomers or those simply wanting to catch up on the latest evidence it's hard to figure out where to start. Fortunately, this book functions as a pretty good overview of exactly where the current research stands. It's right on time too -- this year is the 50th anniversary of the bloody coup that removed JFK, the key political fulcrum of the latter half of the 20th century. Divided into 63 bite-size chapters, Jesse serves up the key points in the case presenting the latest research and known facts in his "straight talk" style. My only critique is that some of the later chapters (after about chapter 50) aren't as cogent and compelling as the earlier ones, but I'm guessing they were added for the sake of completeness, and to pound the point ("They Killed Our President") home that much more. For anyone waffling about whether there was conspiracy to kill JFK (and still is a conspiracy to cover it up), this book should clear things up for you pretty quickly. For those interested in researching the the assassination further, it should also function as an index of the best research and best evidence.

While there are many fascinating theories surrounding the unfortunate assassination of President Kennedy - this book manages to make them all sound far fetched.

Jessie Ventura's theories on who killed the president range from the CIA, Lyndon Johnson, FBI, Castro, Hoover - and he even manages to try to convince people that Jack Ruby was a shooter on the grassy knoll.

I sincerely hope no one has chosen to start their journey into the Kennedy Conspiracy with this book. His sources are 80% websites taken as truth.

I am grateful that I did not purchase this book - that I merely loaned it from a library. The only point that will stick with me from this book is that Jessie Ventura seems to believe that the New York Times is working with the CIA to keep his books from reaching the mainstream.

Please just put it down and walk away - there are so many options out there that explore the different theories with actual science, verifiable sources, and better angles without the back patting.

I honestly just couldn't finish this book. I'm fascinated with the JFK assassination, and would have really loved to read what was in this book, but Ventura's writing style is atrocious. It is such a turn off when people write in a completely informal style of writing when trying to convey an argument. His sources were also sketchy, which made me discredit the little information I did read.

I have read many JFK books and I start from a position that I do not believe the Warren Commission finding that the assassination was the work of a lone assassin. Having read this book I still hold that position - though I suspect that those who held the contrary opinion and read the book with an open mind will not have had their opinion changed one iota. The book is ultimately very disappointing - providing a disservice to those who believe there was a conspiracy.
Once you get past the irritating though perhaps unsurprising presentational style that undermines the credibility of the work (gee whizz, you gotta be joking, right!, come on! etc etc), I found the book lacking in substance.
He does an adequate job at presenting the various apparent flaws in the Commission's findings (thought are some very notable and suprising omissions of cases that would have supported his conclusions), there is little if anything new. And, most importantly, he makes no attempt at all to debunk the debunking. Some of the reasons he presents are decades old and have been subject to severe and detailed criticism - but he doesn't try to answer the criticism - it's as if the author has read only those sources that support his case, and has switched off almost entirely from those that do not. This again undermines its credibilty.
The sources are poorly referenced, and sometimes not at all (while those who choose the audtiobook version have to endure the tedious recitation of multiple internet addresses - surely listeners should have been referred to a written record if they wanted to follow up?)
And the book suffers from some very poor editing. While the author has attempted some kind of thematic grouping of his reasons, there is a lot of repetition (some of it verbatim, with lines being repeated in a way that suggests carelessness rather than a desire to refresh the reader's memory).
As a UK reader, I would say that the author has made little attempt to assist the non-American audience.
And the book concludes with a section on modern governance and the power of the state which, while well intentioned, is just jarring and out of place and reads more like a campaign address.

I was surprised to find i actually found this an easy and entertaining read. Knowing a little about the author made me approach this one with caution, but he did a pretty decent job.

I have read and researched the Kennedy assassination topic quite extensively. I find this book one of the better ones for laying out a majority of the reasons some believe there was conspiracy to kill Kennedy and cover it up. Whats more is that is does it in a rather quick and succinct manner, a rarity in such books.

Ventura is very passionate about this topic and there being a conspiracy, which I appreciate, but it may lead some to feel he is being highly subjective. He also doesn't mind writing in quite an informal manner, but I didn't find that distracted me from the point he was making.

He lays out 63 reasons for us to believe a conspiracy occurred, but there's some double ups here. Some reasons literally use the same evidence. Some reasons are definitely stronger than others. Both the plausibility and the reliability of supporting evidence. Evidence mostly comes from the work of other conspiracy theorists. By my reckoning there's around 25-30 relatively solid points that are tough to refute.

I highly recommend this for both veterans and rookies to the JFK assassination space. I was pleasantly surprised to find a couple of points that were new for me, and otherwise nice to have most other points I am aware of in a single consise volume. Ventura made some interesting comments in his conclusions around the situation in the US today that bear reading.

I have to say this is one of the best books I've read about JFK. Jesse really exposes what happened on that day and all those mysterious suicides which in my opinion were murders to keep witnesses from talking. I have to say to those people who watch CNN and believe 100% that mainframe media is telling you should think again. The news itself is controlled by the US government. The fact is anyone with a difference of opinion about what happened when JFK was assassinated is labeled crazy, a crack pot, or a conspiracy theorist. It's really funny and scary at the same time that government people still preach the Warren Commission's view on the assassination. The truth is I don't believe anything the Warren Commission put out. One point Jesse brought up which I already knew but the President of the US has no power what so ever. The Elite/Bilderberg/illuminati/NewWorldOrder or whatever you want to call them are calling the shots. If the President did have power, JFK would not of been assassinated and the world would be a different place today. Excellent book!

One might be inclined to dismiss the credibility of this book due to the name of former-pro-wrestler-turned-Minnesota-Governor Jesse Ventura, but that would be a mistake. What Ventura has taken something as complex and layered as a vast conspiracy involving the assassination and subsequent coverup of an American president and presented it in easily digestible chunks for public consumption. Ventura's style may feel tabloid-ish somewhat conversational - be prepared for a lot of "Check this out!" - and some of the chapters are only three or four pages long, but all of this goes towards distilling the volumes of research already documented (724 citations pepper the text) for those interested in the JFK assassination that don't want to make researching it a full-time job. If you have your doubts about the JFK assassination being a government conspiracy and can get past Ventura's crossed-arms leather jacket pose on the cover, you'll find plenty of factual data to make you at least consider it a possibility. Highly recommended as an entry-level primer into the JFK assassination.

Former senator Jesse Ventura presents 63 reasons as to why the John F. Kennedy assassination was clearly a conspiracy, despite the media and government backing the “lone nut” narrative that framed Lee Harvey Oswald. “They Killed Our President” is a strong starting point for anybody interested in the subject, as it takes a look at many of the notable conspiracies and misconceptions about the assassination. Diving into Oswald’s ties with U.S intelligence, the involvement of the CIA, mafia, Jack Ruby, Lyndon Johnson and others, the book is sure to convince skeptical readers of the notion that the Warren Commission was truly a mandated process, rather than a democratic outcome. Later in the book, the author presents a compelling case as to how this cover-up came about, how similar events can be prevented, as well as the terrifying powers that elitists, military higher-ups and intelligence agents hold, even over the acting president. For those who are unsure of where to begin with the JFK case, Ventura’s book is an essential early read.

Jesse Ventura puts together a compelling list of evidence of a large conspiracy to murder JFK that is difficult to explain away and some have never been explained. I found some of the reasons and supporting evidence to be largely circumstantial, though Ventura backs his theories by connecting then to other, supporting evidence, that others hadn't connected together. But some of the evidence and events that he puts together is so compelling that even the most adamant 'lone gunman' believers would have a hard time dismissing.

There is no smoking gun here, or in any JFK assassination book thus far, but Jesse Ventura provides new or lesser know insights that will make you stop and think!

A Good Introduction to the topic but I listened to the free Audible audio version and thought that having the narrator read out countless YouTube URLs is a bit disrespectful to the listeners. The URLS should be listed in an accompanying document or website (the Facebook page mentioned is gone, better still all the videos should be backed up in one site and all the videos and other materials hosted on that site. I bet half of the videos that were mentioned are gone.

The book mainly points to conclusions of other books so will lead the reader to many avenues of thought.

I think Ventura is sincere so worth a listen.

It was interesting that is for sure. I am not certain that all 63 "reasons" were proven or have relevance even but it was interesting for sure. I think if you enjoy conspiracy theories you will enjoy this book. I listened to it on Audible and it drove me a little nuts all the links being spelt out. I wish there would have been just a general message at the beginning of where you could find a reference list but other than that I thought it was a good book. It isn't traditional by any sense of the word, so you have to put up with an odd narrative at times but I have definitely read and listened to worse.

For anyone who is familiar with many of the JFK assissination theories, there's nothing new or earth shattering here. It's more of a compellation of all the possibilities. Some are more plausible than others. Some are contradictory (LBJ was the mastermind/LBJ was convinced that anti-Castro Cubans were responsible.) Contrary to the the claim in the title, I doubt that anyone who believes the Warren Commission's conclusion will hear anything that will convince them otherwise, but it might at the very least make them think about it a little more thoroughly.

Narrator of the audiobook is Jason Culp, and his performance is good.

Ok, I am way off being an expert on the Assassination but I liked the book. I'm still on the fence wit the informal style with which it was written but in some moments when a punch is to be delivered I kinda liked his way.

I'm now a bit better informed on the subject. I do like how it's a virtual bibliography on web site addresses for the stated facts in the book which makes it worthwhile as a research tool.

In addition to this being an excellent book that clearly demonstrates that the government is covering up the truth about the President Kennedy Assassination, the book also provides references, links to more information where this fact is more clearly revealed. Good job.

The bad part is that because of the extensive references, the book was tough to read. It is more of a study book than a quick read.

Well done covering so many aspects of the Kennedy Assassination that it may be the best complete work that I’ve read on the subject. Many notable books mentioned with major points to be made and many references to YouTube or website documents concerning the killing of our President.

Anyone that has kept up with this subject I’d say it’s a must read book!

Jesse did a thorough job and seems to be a true patriot

Never believing the conspiracy that Kennedy was killed by Lee Harvey Oswald, I always believed it was political and the mafia was involved. I wasn't even 1 year old when Kennedy was killed. We grew up learning what the country wanted us to believe. I've read many books on the subject and watched many videos, but this book breaks it down and explains every step in the process.
Highly recommended for you to read. You won't regret it.

Lots of info there.

I have been reading JFK Assassination books since the mid 70's. Stacks of them. I thought most of the researchers and authors were pretty much done. Not so. With recent releases of previously classified material, there is a treasure trove. Jesse Ventura spends a lot of time on Oswald. Thank you Jesse. The extent to which Lee Harvey has been wrongly vilified for some 60 plus years now is a national disgrace.

Concrete solid proof that our country killed our president! There can be no dispute. Kennedy was going to make great change in our country and some people wanted him stopped. Mr. Ventura, and others, need to keep demanding the truth.
