- Quotes
Ed Tatro: The Kennedy assassination was the end of faith in government, and so it's up to the little man to fight the odds. Davey Crockett; Sisyphus pushing his rock; someone has to keep fighting the odds, and even though you know the chances are that you're never going to get a resolution to what you're fighting for, you have to fight for it anyway. Just the principle of justice. Just the principles of American democracy. Don't give up, keep fighting.

Whereas the typical home brew opinionated person tries to pick apart Lee Harvey Oswald as the killer, this documentary lays out the huge reasons that Kennedy was placed in a dangerous "perfect storm" and "suckered" into visiting Dallas Texas. The documentary says it very strongly that having JFK killed solved some very big personal problems for certain people who would have gone to jail, and lost their careers, if he had not been killed. And they just use facts to prove this.
The film features in person interviews of people who were close to the above important people. It gives an actual view of rooms, and places where certain events took place.
Remember that when police perform an investigation, they look for motives not simply the physical evidence. Physical evidence can be changed, polluted, manipulated, fabricated. This film is about motives. The motives displayed here are not easy or possible to refute.
The facts used cannot be argued or manipulated herein. Example: There was a tax loophole available to oilmen in Texas. Kennedy sought to end it. This would have a big impact on the local economy of Texas and anyone owning oil pumping land. Jimmy Carter finally did end it. Kennedy was shortly planning on ending it. He was never able to. More: LBJ disliked the Kennedys; and the Kennedys disliked LBJ. Find out why.
This documentary is riveting. It will help you to place all of the information surrounding the killing of JFK in a believable context with motives clearly laid out. The person Lee Harvey Oswald is hardly mentioned in this particular film.
I am glad that I lived long enough to see this. If you do not see videos on the JFK killing, this is THE ONE to see.
