Since 2002, (when the above talk was filmed), Peter Dale Scott has broadened his interpretation of the events of 9/11 significantly, incorporating his views on Deep Politics and the assassination of JFK into his analysis. In his 2006 talk, JFK and 9/11: Insights Gained from Studying Both, he drew several direct parallels between the two events.

In the Q & A session at the end of the video posted above, Scott says of the George Walker Bush administration in relation to the Taliban, "I actually think I was wrong, and the administration was closer to the truth than I was." Since that time, Scott has publicly named former Vice President Richard Cheney as a 9/11 suspect in his book, "The Road to 9/11";

"This chapter and the next will ... make the case that Vice President Cheney is himself a suspect in the events of 9/11 who needs to be investigated further." - Peter Dale Scott, The Road to 9/11, p.194.

In his most recent book of prose, a re-issue of the privished volume The War Conspiracy, Scott continues to draw parallels between JFK and 9/11;

1) Stock Market Speculation

By this I am not referring to the dip and recovery that followed both events, which is common after any unsettling news. I am referring to the dealings in special stocks which suggested, in both cases, prior knowledge of what was to come.

In early November 1963, David Harold ("Dry Hole") Byrd and his investment partner, James Ling, bought $2 million worth of stock (132,600 shares) in Ling-Temco-Vought (LTV), their own defense company. Then in February 1964 LTV received from the Navy the first major LBJ prime defense contract - for a fighter plane to be used in limited wars like Vietnam. I have calculated that this $2.5 million insiders' purchase was worth $26 million by the end of 1967. Moreover the prescient purchase was about one hundred times the size of any other insider purchase in aerospace issues in the same period.

This does not prove that Byrd and Ling were directly involved in the Kennedy assassination, but it may indicate that Byrd had inklings of what was going to happen. For Byrd owned the Texas School Book Depository building, where Oswald had been hired as an employee in October 1963. I have hypothesized that Oswald thought he was there on a surveillance assignment, to report on a fellow worker [who] was under investigation by the Dallas Police. Byrd may have been privy to this arrangement, and have suspected more.

This stock purchase is comparable to the notorious "put option purchases" just before 9/11 in 2001, in the stock of United Airlines and American Airlines. Here too the advance purchases suggest special knowledge, but here too the purchasers and the perpetrators need not have been the same, especially if we accept the indications that many widely scattered people and agencies had prior indications of the event about to occur.

There were scattered indications that a few people had advance knowledge of the Kennedy assassination, a fact hard to reconcile with the Warren Commission conclusion that Oswald, a disgruntled loner, acted on his own. The most significant case was that of a Southern racist and activist, Joseph Milteer, who correctly predicted to a Miami police informant that Kennedy would be shot "from an office building with a high-powered rifle." But Milteer was not unique. And in 2001 there were pre-9/11 indications and warnings, far too numerous to enumerate here, of knowledge about an impending attack using hijacked airplanes. - Peter Dale Scott, The War Conspiracy, pp. 343-344 (2008 edition).

Serious researchers looking at 9/11, JFK, MLK, or any other "Deep Event", as Scott calls them, can have serious paradigm shifts along the path of truth. Peter Dale Scott is no exception. If you have the time, watch the 2002 video, and then compare his early pronouncements with his most recent writings on Deep Events;
