Great post. Thank you. I was eleven years old when JFK was assassinated, and when watching Oliver Stone's new film I couldn't stop the tears when viewing some that that archival footage of the time. Within 5 years of JFK the same deep state forces had also eliminated Malcolm, Martin and Bobby too. The entire top tier of progressive leadership in the United States killed by the fascist deep state underbelly controlled by the CIA, FBI and Joint Chiefs. While MSM considers this basic reality to be literally "unspeakable," the same MSM talking heads breathlessly blame "Putin" of all people, for attacking America's democracy. One doesn't know whether to laugh or weep.

I liked the documentary. I think people who watch it are going to naturally reflect also on what we have lived in the last 6 years with Russiagate.

It would be interesting to place this event in the larger context of the 20th century and not just the 60's. As Stone suggests, we do live in a financial oligarchy. One where public debt has come to back private wealth to an unimaginable degree, but is wholly ignored as a driving force of policy

Markets need money to circulate, while capitalism treats it as a commodity to mine from the markets and the debt required to back it is what is driving our approaching financial Armageddon. It is only if this dynamic is exposed, can it be prevented from parasitically consuming the future as well. There will be a window, between the markets imploding and the reptilian overlords climbing back in the saddle, where this might be prevented.

The banks are having their, "Let them eat cake." moment and it is time to recognize that as the medium enabling markets, money is a public utility.

Otherwise, we are all Kennedy.

Very interesting, Patrick. Where were you when Kennedy was assassinated? Personally, I was sitting in the gym locker room of the Robert E Lee High School of Springfield, Va as a 9th grade student. I was too naive then but I'm not now. I have a horrid fear that what has gone around is going to come around.

Important interview. Thanks. Immediately following I watched his interview by Ainand Naidoo (sp?) more background on the Dulles brothers, the CIA, the Pentagon - JFK - the interviews he made with Vladimir PUTIN - detail on the Bay of Pigs and Cuba - the "right" of the US to go anywhere in the world - to encircle both China and Russia (as it has done) the fear generated against others beyond the US to permit the false flag events and invasions and sanctions...it was made earlier this year when Biden had recently then announced the Afghanistan withdrawal. I look forward to viewing Stone's "JFK Re-Visited". I was lying in my bed - 14-years old - Saturday morning Nov. 23, 1963 (I was in Australia) 6.00 a.m news - radio playing nearby courtesy of my step-father - and the announcement of the assassination of JFK (his birthday - May 29 - was mine, too)! Not a US citizen - but I had first cousins in the US (there is always a connection) - to me it didn't make sense. (And Australia NOT a gun-culture society.) Some five years ago my wife and I were in Dallas - we took "the tour" - the grassy knoll, places associated with Lee Harvey Oswald, the book depository...a bit Disney-esque as readers here will understand - the patter of the guide as slick as these things must be...the images from TV news broadcasts at the time still vivid from the immediate post-assassination years - and always the sense that the official reports and commissions were not the full story. Thanks, Patrick.
