I really look forward to this program and I hope it gets it's full release over time. It's hard to argue with JFK RFK MLK X being state crimes when you see the evidence laid out and I think it's important to provide all 4 stories together and not in their own silos.
Interesting yet disappointing interview. It highlights the paradox. JFK was murdered by right wing cold warriors. Now we have right wingers highlighting there was a coup and this justifies an authoritarian right wing president who did everything possible to not leave power last time.
The right should stay out of the JFK topic - they already have blood on their hands. If that means the JFK issue remains unresolved- that’s a price worth paying.
What a fantastic interview. Weaving the four deaths together all these years later does seem to scream — what are the chances? — and therefore makes a more compelling framework for confronting the notion that our govt has been taken over by unelected powerbrokers.
Being from TX I was particularly intrigued by the documentary’s suggestion of a “timing” element to LBJ’s political salvation into the presidency and away from being ousted from “public service” by mounting political scandals.
And speaking of TX elected officials, now that Rep Shelia Jackson Lee’s bid to become my hometown mayor has failed, maybe I can again urge her to follow up on her expressed (to me) desire to “send up” the JFK record’s legislation.
To me, the broader lens of four assassinations ought to be a more engaging context for Black legislators than JFK alone.
