49 Years Later- And the Memories Are Still Fresh!

Yes—49 years ago, on November 22^nd, we marked the anniversary of the death of the President of the United States. John F. Kennedy, was shot and killed on the streets of Dallas, Texas at 12:30PM, while driving in a motorcade!

Yeah, we know the history, we know the story, we know the tales, and we know the truths, the half truths and the out and out lies.

We know that there are conspiracies, we know there are those who believe the complete 27 volumes of the Warren Commission, we know that there are those who will tell you WHO were involved, and who they think were involved, and there are even a few who think that little spacemen from another planet had something to do with it! (REALLY?)

For some, the hallowed grounds in Dealey Plaza, represent the moment when innocents were lost, and that even though the country suffered a great depression, and the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the loss of a great President, in Franklin D. Roosevelt, the death of John F. Kennedy seemed to be something that not only the young held onto, but also those who were counting on a turning point of our country.

Kennedy, in 1961 during his inauguration address, stated: “Ask NOT what your country can do for YOU, ask, WHAT you can do for your country”… here we are 51 years later, and the statement has lost some of its meaning.

Look at those who think that the government should help THEM, and not help themselves! IF Kennedy was alive today, and running for office, his views would be considered to be more conservative than liberal. Would he be on the Republican side of the isle or would he still be a Democrat? And would he be able to get his ideas across. Like Civil Rights, or even the space program.

Forward thinking in the 60’s like sending a man to the moon, or maybe ending the conflict in Southeast Asia, or maybe ending the Cold War.

Were these the reasons WHY he was murdered?

See that’s the real question… WHY? Its not so much the WHO, but the why he was killed.

A lone gunman, that’s a possibility, never truly proven other than the Warren Commission, but the House Senate Committee on Assassinations in1978, they concluded that a 95% possibility that there was indeed a second gunman involved, and that, by definition is a conspiracy, however the CIA and the FBI both stated that the Warren Commission is still the only true answer to the case, and in 1983, the federal government closed the case completely and the case of a murder of John Fitzgerald Kennedy came to a close!

75 years after the Warren Commission was concluded, the entire archive will open to the public. That is a multiple generational time line! Most of those who were alive, will have died off, and those who are old enough to know about the case, will have either not cared, or forgotten about it.

Did Oliver Stone’s movie in 1991, do anything to make you ask questions, or did it leave you thinking that it was nothing more than one big propaganda for Stone and Hollywood?

Truth is, that this is more about what the Government KNEW, and why certain things happened the way they did during the moment that Kennedy was shot.

The entire Cabinet was on a flight, and out of the country along with Press Secretary Perrier Salinger, there was a total mobilization of Armed Forces in the event of rioting in the streets, there was a total phone outage in Washington D.C. for over 30 minutes. Is this ALL a coincidence? I don’t think so… I don’t think that someone can make that happen by accident, and pull it off!

We have to keep asking the questions, and we have to continue to question those who were there before us, and continue to ask so the truth comes out!

That’s all the American public deserves—don’t leave it up to those who think its best for the people to know what is the truth, and what we should not be privy to because we can’t handle the truth!

WE are not an innocent society, we are a society that can comprehend and understand the truth, and our children, grandchildren and generations that follow, should be aware of what either our government knows or at least those who were in charge at the time 49 years ago!

And one final note, it took them 49 years, but finally the City of Dallas and the State of Texas had a historical marker placed on the corner of 10^th Street and Patton in Oak Cliff, to mark the spot where Officer J.D. Tippitt died, when alleged assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, opened fire and killed him near his squad car. Three Murders in less than 48 hours.

A few years later—in 1968, we lost Martin Luther King in Memphis, and in June of that same year we lost Sen. Robert F. Kennedy in Los Angeles. Somewhere we have to connect the dots and get the answers!

Just a thought!
