FROM MACHINE HEAD:
JFK
About a week ago I was perusing thru Netflix looking for something to stream on my Apple TV. I came across a documentary called "Dark Legacy" about the JFK assassination. I watched it not realizing (unless maybe subliminally) that the anniversary of the assassination was coming up today, Nov 22, 1963.
It's a fascinating watch.
I've watched quite a few of these over the years and most paint a chilling picture but rarely answer the question in any plausible way.
This one is different.
We all know the official story; Oswald, book depository, assassin immediately killed, the Warren Commission report. Then there's the conspiracy theory of "the grassy knoll" and Oswald's killer strolling in thru unlocked doors and no security or police at the exact time the assassin just happened to be transferred.
For 12 years the only images of the Zapruder film that were seen by the public were 30 frame reproductions in magazines and the story of the Warren Commission report. Originally it was just 30 frames and later a few more however it wasn't until 1975, some 12 years later that the public was allowed to watch the Zapruder film in its entirety.
But by then the damage had been done and the official story had already soaked into public conscious. To question that a single bullet entered into the back of someones head would make their head "snap back", in the "opposite direction"...?Well, that would mean you were un-patriotic and a conspiracy-theory-whack-job.
Or would it?
I think the majority of you are smart, intelligent people; you can make your own decisions. Even if only 20% of what is being said in this documentary is true, and the other 80% is bull-puckey, it raises some important questions.
Why is it important?
Because 50 years later, were still being lied to.
