  • JFK The Sequel - The aftermath of his assassination.

    For those that came to our original talk on ‘Who shot JFK’ last year from our regular speaker Richard. 

    This talk is the follow on, please don’t worry if you missed the first talk, he will share a very quick re-cap.

    Following the success of the original presentation 'Who Shot JFK? or rather who didn't', this looks at the aftermath, the contradictions in factual evidence, and could events connected, have led to the assassination of RFK ( JFK younger brother ) in in 1968. 

    And why this is still important today.  Hear the first presentation quick re-cap, and then this will likely prove the conspiracy to kill.

    Richard uses bits from the first presentation to provide the intro only.  But then cover some aspects not covered in the first presentation filling in some of the evidential/factual gaps  and how things moved forward, cover ups and the connections, the body count, to then look at  the Malcom X & Dr Martin Luther King Jnr assassinations, before focussing on the circumstances of the RFK assassination 1968 and again the continual Govt Account versus the facts reflecting a disturbing pattern of contradictions, the involvement of the CIA, Mafia and use of a Patsy. 

    Booking 24 hours in advance is required to secure your place.

    Please purchase your place by messaging Caroline Hearne 07710 592693. Please state any dietary requirements at time of booking.

In the talk, we’ll unravel how a girl with nothing, but fierce determination and a needle and thread transformed the world of fashion forever. Discover how Chanel liberated women from corsets, created the timeless little black dress, and built an empire that still defines elegance today. Expect pearls, perfume, plenty of Parisian flair and the powerful story of a woman who dared to do things differently.
