Intro To The Men Who Killed Kennedy

Created on Monday, 11 January 2010 19:54

The Men Who Killed Kennedy is a 9-part documentary series made by Nigel Turner that began with two episodes originally airing in 1988 in the United Kingdom in two one-hour segments. The US based Arts & Entertainment company purchased the rights to the original two segments and in 1989 the series was nominated for a Flaherty Documentary Award. Three more one-hour episodes were added in 1991 and a sixth episode appeared in 1995.

The series typically aired in November every year but also from time to time during the year as repeats. In November 2003 when three additional segments ("The Guilty Men, "The Smoking Gun" and "The Love Affair") were added by the History Channel the consequences were so immense, that the entire series was taken off the air though the History Channel still sells DVD copies of the first six documentaries.

The Men Who Killed Kennedy offers chilling evidence that American democracy has become a convenient lie; that a conspiratorial coup d’état removed a sitting president and then hid that fact from the American people and the world. This may sound like the stuff of wild-eyed paranoia but these filmmakers did their homework extremely well, which is why the final 3 episodes are now banned.

Interviews include levelheaded witnesses, government agents and Dallas cops present in Dealey Plaza on November 22, 1963. The sheer number of unexplained facts is mind-boggling and this series more than any other documentary ever made about the Kennedy assassination, proves beyond all reasonable doubt why the government's version of the events that took place on November 22nd, 1963 is not only improbable but simply impossible.

You can watch the first 6 episodes and the 3 episodes that are now banned in this post: The Men Who Killed Kennedy

For starters: Did you know that President Kennedy's Secret Service agents were told to step away from his car and stand down, just seconds before the vehicle turned into Dealey Plaza?. President Kennedy was sent into an open space, into a crowd, without ANY bodyguards around him as you will see in the video below.

In the 5 years after the murder of JFK the following high profile, outspoken activists for human rights and civil liberties were ALSO assassinated:

– Malcolm X – February 21, 1965
– Martin Luther King Jr. – April 4, 1968
– Robert F. Kennedy – June 6, 1968

On July 16th, 1999 John F. Kennedy Jr. died in a plane crash under extremely suspicious circumstances. Another JFK assassination would have been way to obvious of course, so JFK jr. dies in an "accident" at age 38. Remember that his father became President when he was 43 and JFK jr. also had serious plans to run for office. 

So, from John F. Kennedy, to Malcolm X, to Martin Luther King Jr., to Robert F. Kennedy, to John F. Kennedy Jr.

Do You See The Pattern Here?

If you seriously believe that all this was simply a coincidence, you obviously cannot think and/or analyze and you should not be on this website.

When you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

Whistle-Blowers: A Conversation with Ellsberg and Dean

Created on Monday, 14 June 2010 15:47

What lessons do the Vietnam War, Watergate, and the "War on Terror" offer about the abuse of power by the executive branch in times of national crisis?

Join Daniel Ellsberg, the RAND strategist whose leak of the Pentagon Papers helped bring down the Nixon presidency and end the Vietnam War, and John Dean, White House counsel to Nixon and later a key whistle-blower on the Watergate scandal, for a conversation about the perils — then and now — of presidential overreach and excessive secrecy.

The event, sponsored by the Open Society Institute National Security and Human Rights Campaign, comes on the eve of the U.S. premiere of the feature documentary The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers. Filmmakers Judith Ehrlich and Rick Goldsmith present clips from the film.

Ann Beeson, executive director for U.S. Programs at the Open Society Institute and former associate legal director at the ACLU, moderates the discussion with Ellsberg and Dean.

 

Watergate And The Reputation Of Richard Nixon

Created on Saturday, 08 January 2011 11:26

On May 28, 1972, five men broke into the Democratic National Headquarters at the Watergate complex in Washington, D.C. and were arrested while they were still in the building. American politics has never been the same since then. 

What seemed like a routine break-in was actually the tip of a mammoth political iceberg, which ran from the intelligence operatives to members of the White House staff and finally to President Nixon himself, a man whose mission to find dirt on his opponents led to his ultimate and extremely public downfall.

This Discovery Channel retrospective (produced in 1994) is, bar none, the most comprehensive, intelligent and exhaustive documentary you could ever find on the subject. Going far beyond a basic rehashing of the events, Watergate takes the viewer painstakingly through the entire scandal, from break-in to resignation. The documentary utilizes video footage, newspaper coverage, those infamous White House tapes, and most impressively, interviews with all the in 1994 still living participants in the Watergate scandal (with the exception of Henry Kissinger), some reading from their own notes.

It's amazing to hear the details of America's biggest political debacle straight from the horses' mouths–Haldeman, Erlichman, Liddy, John Dean, even Nixon himself via his 1977 interview with David Frost.

This is a 4 hour clear-eyed portrait of Watergate from the inside that covers this fascinating chapter of American history better than any other previous documentary with regard to this subject.

‘The Most Dangerous Man in America’: Daniel Ellsberg And The Pentagon Papers

Created on Monday, 21 June 2010 15:12

The Most Dangerous Man in America tells the story of Daniel Ellsberg, a high-level Pentagon official and Vietnam War strategist, who in 1971 concluded that the war in Vietnam was based on decades of lies. He consequently leaked 7,000 pages of top secret documents to The New York Times, making headlines around the world.

This is a riveting story of how this one man's profound change of heart created a landmark struggle involving America's newspapers, its President and Supreme Court. The documentary features Daniel Ellsberg, Patricia Ellsberg, Robert Ellsberg, Tony Russo, Howard Zinn, Hedrick Smith, John Dean and others, and, from the secret White House tapes, Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger who called Ellsberg "The Most Dangerous Man in America".
