11/22/1963.....Part 2

11/22/1963

Part 2 -

In 2015 the American people are amazed and surprised when folks like Edward Snowden and Julian Assange run away in order to inform you that your government is doing sinister things behind your back.  People are shocked to learn their government is tracking every phone call and tracking all internet usage. 

People are shocked that the CIA is rounding people up and locking them away without ever allowing them to talk to a lawyer.  Without ever giving them a day in court.  People are concerned the CIA is killing people with drones (in foreign lands) even when they are a US Citizen.  These are not things people associate with the United States of America.  Regardless they are happening. 

The only reason you know these things are happening is because someone (who wasn’t supposed to tell you) told you.  If that didn’t occur you would still be thinking happy thoughts about your honest and open government.  The kicker is none of this is new.  Your government doing sinister things has been going on for decades.

It has been said the USA really has 4 branches of government.  The President, The Congress, The Supreme Court and The CIA.  The CIA is the only branch with no accountability to anyone or anything.  They can do (and do do) anything they choose.  Nobody can stop them.

In 1963 people didn’t have easy access to information.   The newspaper arrived and people read it and then threw it away.   The evening news was on TV (for an hour) and that was it.  There was no 24 hour news and no internet.  If you wanted to do research you needed to spend hours in a library.  

In 2015 we have the internet.  We can find out any information, from any time period, in minutes.  It is all right there.  It is a lot easier to research what was going on 52 years ago..... today.... than it was then.

When the Warren Commission Report came out in 1964 the American public didn’t believe it.  They didn’t believe it and they hadn’t even seen the Zapruder Film. They didn't even have most of the information (we have today) and they still didn't believe it.

Time Life bought the Zapruder Film and only published still pictures.  Plus they left out the kill shot.  The owner of Time Life was Henry Luce.  Henry Luce had connections to the CIA.

The Warren Commission published still pictures (From the Zapruder Film) as well but they rearranged the order of the frames.  They blamed that deception on a printing error.  People didn't believe that excuse either.

It wasn’t until 1975 (After Robert Kennedy was shot, and after Martin Luther King was shot, and after the Watergate Break in (Done by CIA Agents) that the Zapruder film was played for the American public.  It was only made available because it was subpoena (years earlier) in the Garrison trial. 

In 1963 Dan Rather viewed the Zapruder film and described what he saw to the American public.  The problem is he described it completely wrong.  He said Kennedy’s head was blown forward.  That was not true.  It was blown backwards.  You can go on Youtube and watch Dan Rather describe the Zapruder film wrong.  His incorrect description did not affect his career.  He quickly went from a local reporter to Chief White House Correspondent for CBS News.  Eventually taking over as managing editor from Walter Kronkite.

The showing on National TV (12 years after the event) of the Zapruder film and people realizing what they had been told was completely wrong created outrage.  That outrage spurred Congress to open multiple new investigations. President Gerald Ford opened a presidential investigation……. but nobody trusted Gerald Ford (member of the Warren Commission) so congress opened their own investigations.

Part 3 coming tomorrow…..Tomorrow the story gets real good.  I start naming names.  Good luck sleeping tonight in anticipation.
