The JFK Historical Group Presents “THE BIG EVENT” New Revelations in the JFK Assassination and the Forces Behind His Death

Washington, DC, January 17, 2018– The JFK Historical Group will hold its 2nd conference March 9-10-11, 2018 in Sterling, Virginia (near Dulles International Airport). The conference title is: "THE BIG EVENT: New Revelations in the JFK Assassination and the Forces Behind His Death".

The conference will take place at the Holiday Inn Dulles Airport - 45425 Holiday Drive, Sterling, Virginia, 20166. To purchase tickets and make hotel reservations visit: http://JFKconferenceDC.com.

Conference Keynote Speakers are: Cyril Wecht, medical examiner and forensics expert; Roger Stone, author of 2 bestselling books on the assassination and who he believes is responsible; and Edward Tatro, who attended the Jim Garrison trail of Clay Shaw and an advisor on several films about the assassination.

Our other 19 seasoned JFK researchers and assassination witnesses are: Judyth Vary Baker, Richard Bartholomew, Gregory Burnham, Hubert Clark, David Denton, Brian Edwards, Gary Fannin, Gordon Ferrie, Dr. James Fetzer, Victoria Hawes-Sulzer, Saint John Hunt, James Jenkins, Kris Millegan, Phil Nelson, Steve Osborn, Casey J. Quinlan, Larry Rivera, Rick Russo and Ralph Thomas. Our MC’s are Lorien Fenton, podcast radio talk show host, and Andrew Kreig, public affairs officer for Justice Integrity Project.

As the title suggests, there are two major objectives to this conference; the first is to give researchers a forum to reveal and highlight any new information derived from the National Archive release of JFK documents in 2017, and to focus on the substantive research work our speakers have done – some for over 40 years – on JFK’s murder.

If you are with the MEDIA (Press, Film, TV, Podcast, Radio, etc. ) PLEASE ATTEND OUR FRIDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 9th, PRESS CONFERNCE

On Friday March 9th at 3:00 pm The JFK Historical Society will hold a MEDIA & ATTENDEES “MEET & GREET” (open to all media - we will check credentials at the door) where members of the Press and other Media will have the opportunity to ask questions of our Keynote Speakers, in a panel setting, for 30 minutes and then meet the rest of our Speakers during the last 30 minutes in a networking setting. We hope you will stay to attend the “New Orleans and Clay Shaw Trial” presentation with Victoria Hawes-Sulzer and Ed Tatro.

ROGER STONE is the author of the New York Times bestseller The Man Who Killed Kennedy: The Case Against LBJ. He is a legendary political operative who served as a senior campaign aide to , Ronald Reagan, and Senator Bob Dole. Stone would parlay being the youngest staff member of the Committee to Re-Elect the President in 1972 into being a conduit of secret memos from Ex-President Nixon to President Ronald Reagan throughout the 80s. A veteran of eight national presidential campaigns, Stone would spend hours talking politics with Nixon as confidant and adviser in his post-presidential years. Stone is known for his hardball tactics, deep opposition research, biting candor, and love of English custom tailoring. Stone serves as mens' fashion correspondent for the Daily Caller. He is probably the most controversial speaker on the political horizon today, an insider who was there from the beginning, who doesn't want Nixon blamed for what happened on Nov. 22, 1963.
