James DiEugenio: JFK’s Anti-Imperialism, The Antidote to Our Times

On Rumble and the usual audio platforms

James DiEugenio is one of the most respected researchers about the assassinations of the 1960s, about which he has written or co-edited many books.

He also wrote the screenplays for Oliver Stone’s documentaries, JFK REVISITED: Through the Looking Glass and JFK: Destiny Betrayed. And he and Mr. Stone testified before Congress in 2025 about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

Jim’s work can be found at www.KennedysandKing.com and at www.JamesAnthonyDiEugenio.Substack.com.

The coverup of what JFK was doing “is more systematic and rigid than the coverup about his assassination.” Exposing that coverup “has subsumed” Jim since 2013.

“You have to understand what he was doing in order to understand why they killed him and how they did it – at high noon, in broad daylight, on a city street, with three hundred witnesses. He was trying to stay true to the ideals the United States was founded on,” the idea that all nations should be free and independent and able to prosper with their own resources and become strong enough to trade with the world and protect themselves from being conquered or controlled by other nations.

ABC emailed Oliver Stone after their Congressional appearance, and “that’s how we got roped into that godawful ABC special [Truth and Lies: Who Killed JFK?]. That’s how powerful that hearing was. The mainstream media felt they had to counteract it.”

This conversation was held on Saturday, January 3, 2026.

Bruce, “We owe President Trump gratitude because we intended to discuss JFK’s anti-imperialism and of course, the news this morning is …”

Jim laughed. “That’s exactly what I thought this morning. When I saw that headline [about the kidnapping of Venezuelan president Nicholas Maduro], I said, Wow. Bruce could not have asked for a better lead-in than what just happened. Trump sending in American commandos, to another country, setting off explosions in the capitol as a distraction, and then kidnapping the leader of the country and his wife, and then going on TV and saying that we’re going to run the country in the interim. Could you get any more of a contrast [between JFK and Trump]?”

“JFK had two sterling opportunities to take over Cuba, and he didn’t take advantage of either of them,” the Bay of Pigs disaster of 1961, which taught Kennedy that the CIA and the top military men could not be trusted. (He fired the top people at the CIA.)
