Assassination of John F. Kennedy
Downard is known for his essay “King-Kill/33: Masonic Symbolism in the Assassination of John F. Kennedy”, originally published by Adam Parfrey in the first edition of the book "Apocalypse Culture", which speculates that the Freemasons were responsible for the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The essay was removed from the second edition of the book and replaced by another essay by Downard, "The Call to Chaos". "Apocalypse Culture II" contains another Downard essay, "America, The Possessed Corpse". Jim Keith, editor of yet another Feral House publication, "Secret and Suppressed: Banned Ideas and Hidden History", included "Sorcery, Sex, Assassination", the original article of which King Kill/33 is an abridgement.
