Michael T. Griffith
Michael T. Griffith appeared on the JFK scene after Oliver Stone's JFK film was released in late 1991, and has since become a very prolific writer on the assassination. He works in Army Intelligence and is an active Mormon. According to his own biographical sketch:
MICHAEL T. GRIFFITH is a two-time graduate of the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, California, and of the U.S. Air Force Technical Training School in San Angelo, Texas, and has attended Ricks College, Brigham Young University, Austin Peay State University, Mount Wachusett Community College, and Haifa University, where he earned 123 semester hours with his studies centering on history and foreign languages. He is the author of four books on Mormonism and ancient texts and a former research assistant at the Society for Early Historic Archaeology at Brigham Young University. His articles on the assassination have appeared in several assassination research journals, including the JFK/DEEP POLITICS QUARTERLY and THE ASSASSINATION CHRONICLES. He is also the author of the book COMPELLING EVIDENCE: A NEW LOOK AT THE ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT KENNEDY (Grand Prairie, Texas: JFK-Lancer Productions and Publications, 1996).

Readers of these many articles may wish to consider the special challenges to
absolute rigor that are faced by persons who hold strong religious faith, as
Michael Griffith does. Whereas all religions demand that their central points be
accepted on faith, rigorous thinking prohibits faith and relies solely on what
it can demonstrate by fact. Religious scientists say that when properly
compartmentalized, these two ways of thinking do not interfere with one another.
The question is whether they do in Griffith's case.
Many arch-JFK conspiracists believe
the same about other assassinations such as RFK and MLK. Michael Griffith shows
the same attitude in his articles on MLK and Vincent Foster. The prime question
here is whether he is carefully considering the facts in each, or whether his
similar conclusions represent a common frame of mind, i.e., a predisposition
toward conspiracy.
Last are two articles against evolution. Michael Griffith believes strongly
that evolution is false and that the current species in the world were create by
a Deity. It is interesting to compare how he reasons here, or whose reasoning he
endorses, versus how he approaches the JFK assassination.
