Francis Richard Conolly’s book “JFK to 911 Everything Is A Rich Man’s Trick” and the documentary with the same name stand as one of those rare books that manages to capture the essence of the big picture, artfully putting into perspective events that, on the surface, seemed unrelated. This is precisely what sets Conolly’s work apart—the ability to draw connections between pivotal moments in history, offering a coherent narrative that had been conspicuously absent from mainstream discourse. Through meticulous arrangement of historical facts, the book succeeds in bringing these disparate events into a logical sequence, providing readers with a lens through which the past century’s complex socio-political landscape can be viewed in a new light.
Despite its ambitious scope, the book’s reach sometimes exceeds its grasp, particularly in its discourse at the end on the Catholic Church, where Conolly may have missed the mark, potentially overlooking the complexity of historical and contemporary influences. Similarly, while the book delves into the realm of terrorist attacks in Spain and England, presenting them within a framework of orchestrated events, it is important to note that there is no concrete evidence to support the notion that these were inside jobs. Such assertions remain speculative and are subject to rigorous debate and scrutiny.
At its core, “JFK to 911 Everything Is A Rich Man’s Trick” is a compelling theory of evolution—of power, politics, and societal structures. It does more than just outline a series of events; it offers a narrative that seeks to explain how and why these events have shaped the world in which we live. The book, alongside its documentary counterpart, serves as a dramatic indictment of the flaws inherent in our current form of representative democracy. It makes a passionate argument for the transition to direct democracy as a means to dismantle the influence of what Conolly describes as a powerful cabal on our political system.
Through this narrative, Conolly does not merely inform; he calls for action. He highlights the urgent need for systemic change, advocating for a political transformation that would cut off the tentacles of elite power and return sovereignty to the hands of the people. In doing so, “JFK to 911 Everything Is A Rich Man’s Trick” emerges not just as a historical account but as a manifesto for those who seek to understand the forces that have quietly guided the course of modern history and, more importantly, for those who wish to reclaim control over their collective destiny.
