American State of the Union: A Festival of Lies

[Octafish]

38. You may assume what you want, Dr. Gibson is a professor of sociology at University of Pittsburgh.

Donald Gibson was born in Philadelphia in 1945. He served as a communications intelligence analyst in the United States Air Force from 1964 to 1968. After military service, Gibson returned to college to get a B.A. and went on to complete a Ph.D. at the University of Delaware. He has taught on a number of campuses, including Oberlin and Middlesbury Colleges, and is currently at the Greensburg Campus of the University of Pittsburgh.

Professor Gibson's research on social power and on U.S. economic problems carried out during the 1970s and 1980s led him to carrying out research into the administration of John F. Kennedy. This led to the writing of Battling Wall Street: The Kennedy Presidency (1994). He also investigated the assassination of Kennedy and eventually published The Kennedy Assassination Cover-up (1999). In this book he rejects the idea that the Mafia, Anti-Castro Activists, Texas Oilmen, Lyndon B. Johnson, J. Edgar Hoover or the Federal Bureau of Investigation were responsible for the president's death. Instead he argues that it was a treasonous conspiracy executed by a network of wealthy private individuals.

Other books by Gibson include Environmentalism: Ideology and Power (2002), Communication, Power and the Media (2004) and The Kennedy Assassination Cover-up Revisited (2005).
