I am not a conspiracy theorist, and I'm certainly not up-to-date on the inside details of the assassination, but the more years that pass, the harder it is to believe that Lee Harvey Oswald just decided to kill a U.S. president.
I was eleven, heard the news from a nun who came into our class and told us. November 22 was also my father's birthday and we'd planned the usual presents/cake thing. THAT got cancelled PDQ.
My father was a tough man of the old school, the sort that felt when pain was unbearable you just grinned and asked for more. I'd never seen him cry. But he cried that night as we went to the local church and prayed for JFK. I saw the tears running down his cheeks for a man he really had no use for.
But JFK was the President, as such he was the Commander-in-Chief and due certain respect. Intellectually I understood my father's tears were more for our nation than anything else.
I understood the emotional portion of his pain on 9/11/01 as I watched a televised CNN clip of the jets hitting the WTC, over and over.
Two anniversaries I'll always remember. God have mercy on our nation.
I am generally extremely skeptical of conspiracy theories, especially regarding the various theories about the JFK assassination.
America lost more than its innocence that day -- it lost its last Democratic president who could be considered center-right: a hawk on taxes, strong on national defense, prudent when it came to spending. And a man who was maturing in office and becoming more serious and more focused as a leader. What would have been, both for him personally and for him as a leader, is unknowable of course, but he was in many ways becoming a different politician and a different man than he was during the 1960 campaign and before. Alas, what might have been...
Jesse Ventura's latest show has the E. Howard Hunt confession, plus yet another demonstration that no human being could get as many shots off as the Warren Commission said was done on that rifle as it was not the least bit automatic.
There is one person who says he doesn't remember where he was that day, George H.W. Bush. That's kind of weird isn't it?
As time goes on, the official story on this grows ever weaker.
The Trilateral Commission would not be founded for another 10 years by David Rockefeller.
However, the big players in CFR and Trilateral were most certainly in positions of power at the time of the assassination.
Barry Goldwater (the guy who rebelled against the Rockefeller Republicans) cited the Trilateral Commission in his book With No Apologies:
"In my view, the Trilateral Commission represents a skillful, coordinated effort to seize control and consolidate the four centers of power: political, monetary, intellectual, and ecclesiastical. All this is to be done in the interest of creating a more peaceful, more productive world community. What the Trilateralists truly intend is the creation of a worldwide economic power superior to the political governments of the nation-states involved. They believe the abundant materialism they propose to create will overwhelm existing differences. As managers and creators of the system they will rule the future.

I was only seven, but still remember watching with my crying mother......

Perhaps it was the Tri-Lateral Commission!
