PETER DALE SCOTT: I can't really present, in 8 minutes, the case for a conspiracy because it is so huge; it lies in every direction.
Scott would have you believe, that Lee Harvey Oswald was, in fact, part of American intelligence; but that, in fact, he is the eccentric sociopath he appeared to be when he first defected to the Soviet Union in 1959.
Scott's view of this case, he also says in his book something I fundamentally have to disagree with: that McCarthyism and the assassination in Dallas and Watergate and Contra-gate are all connected, with some of the same people involved.

Far from regretting this use of torture, the Ambassador, Thomas Mann, the CIA Station Chief, Winston Scott, and the FBI Legal Attache, Clark Anderson, argued strenuously, in the face of Washington's expressed disapproval, for Durán's arrest and rearrest by the DFS, and that DFS torture be used again.
Scott’s claim of pre-assassination reporting on Oswald in the Cuban Embassy, never  officially admitted or revealed, is corroborated also by Ray Rocca’s deposition in 1978 to the House Select Committee.

In this extraordinary poem, Peter Dale Scott explores the depth and scope of his humanity as he takes the reader on a brilliant and surprising journey through the landscapes of not only his own personal history, but the history of politics, philosophy, ideas and literature.
Because Scott impeccably refuses the temptation of making a statement about the nature of life, and instead leads us directly into an experience of his reality, the reader is free to roam the sweeping, unpredictable and exciting scope of his intellectual, political and ontological knowledge.

Scott, a poet, an English professor at UC Berkeley and a long-time investigator into the impact of drugs on U.S. foreign policy in Asia and Central America, has been examining the issues surrounding the John Kennedy assassination for many years.
