garrison
– The Magazine of History and Deep Politics
There’s
Garrison the fictional town in Colorado where the Netflix TV show The Ranch
takes place, then there’s Jim Garrison the former District Attorney of New
Orleans who tried to investigate the assassination of President Kennedy, and
now there’s garrison – the Magazine of History and Deep Politics that is named
after the man, not the town.
Founded
by intrepid journalist S. T. Patrick, this slick, glossy publication is chock
full of interesting articles, and is reminiscent of Evergreen – the classic New
Left magazine of the Sixties, and Ramparts, which Patrick says helped inspire
him to do this despite the continuing failures and decline of other such
mainstream magazines.
Now in
its third edition, garrison – apparently spelled without the capitol ala e.e. cummings, is a radical print political journal that is taking off – and available
in both digital and versions.
And I am
proud to have contributed to the third edition, providing a summary synopsis of
my latest JFK assassination research – Valkyrie and Pathfinder at Dealey Plaza,
which I intend to use as a basis for expanding into a full fledged book.
Proud
not only to get my work out there for others to read beyond my blog, but also
to have my name associated with other contributors – Jim Hougan, David Talbot, Robert
Groden, Michael Chesser, M.D., Walt Brown, Edgar F, Tatro, Richard Bartholomew
and even the late Carl Oglesby puts in an afterlife appearance. Other authors
include David Knight, Casey Quinlan, Brian Edwards and Joe Green.
And the
topics are varied and not just related to JFK and political assassinations but
span the horizon of the interesting times we live in – Watergate, Jonestown,
the Moon Hoax , movies and whistleblowers are all featured items.
In
acknowledging his inspirations in the first issue, Patrick wrote: “This journal
is an extension of Johathan Marshall’s Parapolitics, Robin Ramsay’s Lobster,
Jim DiEugenio and Lisa Pease’s Probe Magazine, Kenn Thomas’ Steamshovel Press,
Edward Keating’s Ramparts, Paul Krasner’s The Realist, Max Schrr’s Berkeley
Barb, Bill Schaap’s CovertAction Quarterly, and Paranoia magazine.”
“The
mission of garrison is to gather a talented team of writers, researchers,
illustrators, photographers, and editors to produce a magazine that will
challenge the mainstream media, historical establishment, and textbook
conglomerates that control information today. We will ultimately tackle
controversial topics in unique ways and with a variety of political and
philosophical, and ideological perspectives. We are a non-partisan magazine
that seeks not to disparage any race, religion, culture, creed, gender or
ideology.”
