About this listen
This book is about evil, more specifically, one person’s chance encounter with evil, an encounter that ended up destroying the rest of his life. The dark secret involved in that encounter also resulted in a family taboo, one that lasted long after the person who had that encounter with evil had passed away.
That person was Abraham Zapruder, the man who filmed the famous “Zapruder film” that captured the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. Through sheer happenstance, Zapruder’s life and the lives of his family were changed forever—for better and for worse—by his encounter with evil.
This book identifies and confronts the evil that destroyed the rest of Abraham Zapruder’s life and uncovers the dark secret that led to his family’s decades-long taboo against discussing his film. It also discusses what needs to be done to eradicate that evil, which is still among us. Our national well-being depends on it.

Story
According to a 2013 Gallup poll, the vast majority of the American people don't believe the government's Warren Report about the assassination of president John F. Kennedy. But there are so many theories about the assassination that it's difficult to make sense of it all - or even know where to start. Who has the time to delve into the controversy and figure it out? And what difference does it make anyway? If that describes the way you feel about the Kennedy assassination, then this book is for you.

Story
Senator Frank Church of Idaho was an unlikely hero. He led congressional opposition to the Vietnam War and had become a scathing, radical critic of what he saw as American imperialism around the world. But he was still politically ambitious, privately yearning for acceptance from the foreign policy establishment that he hated and eager to run for president. Despite his flaws, Church would show historic strength in his greatest moment, when in the wake of Watergate he was suddenly tasked with investigating abuses of power in the intelligence community.

Story
Ever since researchers and commentators began questioning the conclusions of the Warren Report on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the response has been: Why would the US national-security establishment - that is, the military and the CIA - kill Kennedy? As Douglas P. Horne details in this audiobook, JFK's War with the National Security Establishment: Why Kennedy Was Assassinated, the answer is because Kennedy's ideas about foreign policy collided with those of the US national-security establishment during the height of the Cold War.

The two most important words in the lives of the American people for the past 60 years have been national security. The term has transformed American society for the worse. It has warped the morals and values of the American people. It has stultified conscience. It has altered the constitutional order.

For half a century, people have debated the Kennedy assassination. Some claim that the Warren Commission got it right - that Kennedy was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald, a lone-nut assassin. Others contend that Kennedy was killed as part of a conspiracy. It is not the purpose of this book to engage in that debate. The purpose of this book is simply to focus on what happened at Bethesda Naval Hospital on the evening of November 22, 1963.

Jack Ruby changed history with one bold, violent action: killing accused presidential assassin Lee Harvey Oswald on live TV two days after the November 22, 1963, murder of President John F. Kennedy. But who was Jack Ruby—and how did he come to be in that spot on that day? As we approach the sixtieth anniversaries of the murders of Kennedy and Oswald, Jack Ruby’s motives are as maddeningly ambiguous today as they were the day that he pulled the trigger. The fascinating yet frustrating thing about Ruby is that there is evidence to paint him as at least two different people.

Nelson's careful and meticulous research has led him to uncover secrets from one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in our country's history.

Scorpions' Dance by intelligence expert and investigative journalist Jefferson Morley reveals the Watergate scandal in a completely new light: as the culmination of a concealed, deadly power struggle between President Richard Nixon and CIA Director Richard Helms. After the Watergate burglary on June 17, 1972, Nixon was desperate to shut down the FBI's investigation. He sought Helms' support and asked that the CIA intervene—knowing that most of the Watergate burglars were retired CIA agents, contractors, or long-term assets. The two now circled each other like scorpions.

While popular opinion holds that Russia subverted democratic processes during the 2016 elections, the real damage was done not by Moscow or any other foreign actor. Rather, this was a slow-moving coup engineered by a coterie of the American elite, the "deep state," targeting not only the president, but also the rest of the country.

In Who Really Killed Kennedy?, Jerome R. Corsi, Ph.D., provides listeners with the ultimate JFK assassination theory book.

Story
I have discovered a group of women who refuse to be exploited, are immune to manipulation, and who never settle in the name of love. These ladies know what they want and take what they want by beating men at their own game. Utilizing the secrets exposed in this book, these women gain power, money, and status. Men call them gold diggers, women call them hos, but they call themselves winners. This is the book that society doesn't want you to listen to….

Story
Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

Based on seven years of ground-breaking research and hundreds of interviews, I Thought It Was Just Me shines a long-overdue light on an important truth: Our imperfections are what connect us to each other and to our humanity. Our vulnerabilities are not weaknesses; they are powerful reminders to keep our hearts and minds open to the reality that we're all in this together.

Integrity of Facts
It was helpful that the author cited references and links for additional data. Most of all I liked how he titled his work. It has taken most of our lifetimes to comprehend this degree of evil. May we take action to prosecute it and prevent it from happening through our grandchildren's lives.

Ok rundown but repetitive and childish. Skip it.
A decent rundown of "the CIA killed JFK" perspective, specifically focusing on the Zapruder tape. The information was interesting enough, but the book is a bit unfocused and repetitive.
I picked up this book on the premise of wanting to know about the life of Zapruder and the consequences of the tape on his life. Instead, this is chiefly an explanation of arguments of why the Zapruder tape was faked. This book appears to be mostly a response to the "26 Seconds" book that Zapruder's granddaughter released, in which the author contests various her claims about the tape. That's fine but not really what the title and description sells. The title is misleading: this is an argument for the Zapruder tape being altered, not really specifically about an "Encounter with Evil" Zapruder had. When the author incessently rederences Zapruder's "encounter with evil", what he means is that Zapruder ended up knowingly and falsly verifying the faked tape because he was scared of the CIA. No duh, not really enough to predicate the entire thesis of your book on. I was expecting more from the perspective of Zapruder and the effect the tape had on his life. Instead, this is about the tape itself, and less about the consequences for Zapruder.
I also found the author childish and unlikable. He keeps making weird assertions that Zapruder's granddaughter "knows that the tape was faked, but her subconscious won't let her accept it" and "she is psychologically running from the evil she knows is there." Huh? Just say she is wrong, why are we conjruing up these cringey and vapid fanfictions about her intentions? The author will also indulge in assinine virtue signaling with lines like "Did you know that the CIA hired defated nazi scientists after WWII to fight the Soviet Union?!? I would have disbanded the CIA then and there!!" and "The fact that the USA didn't want nukes in Cuba, but at the same time positioned nukes in Turkey, is hypocritical and thus pure evil!". This guy espouses some really dumb preteen-level ethics which, to me personally, casts doubt on the objectiveness of his perspective.
