Killing Kennedy (2013 TV Movie)

Who is still trying to sell this crap?

[1/10 · 28 November 2013]

I am stunned that there are people still interested in selling the Warren commission. The last official word on the assassinations from the U.S. government, in 1979, was that it was most likely the work of a conspiracy. Not that we needed this admission to realize the single gunman theory was fiction, but it was nice to see that there are some people in power that search for the truth. Where is the movie about this? Or the mountain of evidence and witnesses that are coming forward disputing this politically inspired, self-serving, white wash? The saddest thing about it is that due to the credibility of the production, big name actors like Rob Lowe and the high production values it will probably resonate as the "real truth" with a lot of people and brainwash a whole new generation(but isn't that the point?). Isn't is time to admit that the U.S. had a coup d'etat in 1963? All empires have had them, it's nothing new. Let's blame those who actually conspired to kill a president, and hey, maybe actually prosecute someone. Maybe the gap between the government and the people might narrow and a little optimism can be restored. This apparently can't happen yet because 50 years after the fact, the guilty parties, or their sons are still reaping the rewards of manipulating power politics and wealthy enough to produce television movies.
