My Two Favorite Movies

Posted in Dictatorship, JFK, News & Commentary, Film on May 1st, 2008

-The Lives of Others
about the totalitarian excesses of East Germany.

-JFK
which was hugely slandered by critics before and after its release.

Both deal with an increasingly common theme in my thinking: history as a struggle not between nations, but between people and their governments.

The Media and JFK

Posted in JFK, Big Media, News & Commentary on February 18th, 2008

(Read Alex Jones’ Article about what Big Media does and does not report.)

My Summary:

AP Reports on the discovery of additional evidence, and quotes a 6th floor museum curator to cast doubt on it.

Big Media does NOT report this death bed confession of a former CIA agent.

Nor are they interested in Barr McClellan’s book which implicates LBJ.

The last time Big Media showed an interest was when They (including the Washington Post’s national security correspondent George Larder) were falling over each other to slander, discourage and discredit Oliver Stone’s JFK. Read the section on media reaction.

Remember my earlier post - an open letter by Norman Mailer, Oliver Stone, and others:

“It is disappointing to learn that the Central Intelligence Agency filed motions in federal court in May 2005 to block disclosure of records related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy forty-one years ago. The spirit of the law is clear. The JFK Records Act of 1992, approved unanimously by Congress, mandated that all assassination-related records be reviewed and disclosed ‘immediately.’ When Morley filed his lawsuit in December 2003, thirteen published JFK authors supported his request for the records in an open letter to The New York Review of Books (www.nybooks.com/articles/16865). Eighteen months later, the CIA is still stonewalling. The agency now acknowledges that it possesses an undisclosed number of documents…which it will not release in any form. Thus records related to Kennedy’s assassination are still being hidden for reasons of ‘national security.’”

Why didn’t the media covering this important development?

Hidden History

The CIA and the JFK Assassination

Posted in JFK, News & Commentary on December 23rd, 2007

This is why I don’t balk when Ron Paul discusses reigning in the CIA.

From an open letter by Oliver Stone (director of JFK), Norman Mailer, and others.

“It is disappointing to learn that the Central Intelligence Agency filed motions in federal court in May 2005 to block disclosure of records related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy forty-one years ago. The spirit of the law is clear.

Beautiful JFK Speech

As pertinent today as ever. His comments about what the press could and ought to be break my heart for how far we’ve sunk. They killed him.
