Who would be saddened by Oswald in a cheap cemetery? no. Within minutes, false reports about Oswaldo spread around the world. Legends come from the government, news from the press comes from the government. The authorities were lying, and the epic Kennedy funeral blew our eyes and our minds. Hitler said: The bigger the lie, the more people will believe it. Lee Harvey Oswald, a crazy lonely no-one who wanted to get in the limelight and assassinated the president, was just the first scapegoat in a long list. In recent years, Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King, those who want reform and peace are the thorns in the eyes of the powerful and powerful who long for war. These people have all been killed by crazy lonely individuals too. These senseless personal folly make us feel free from guilt. We have all become Hamlet, confessing to murdering our father's enemies as relatives, and letting the murderer occupy the throne.
Kennedy and the secret of his murder meet us in our American dream, and he asks us the question: What is the core of our constitution? What is the value of our life? The president of a country is killed, and its judiciary will only tremble in the face of many doubts. What is democracy in this country? How many more political murders will it be described as heart attacks, suicides, cancers and drug overdoses. How many more plane crashes and car accidents will happen on the eve of exposure?
An English poet once wrote that perfidy will never succeed. why? Because he was successful, no one called him treachery. Why haven't the American people seen Zambrude's tapes? Why are thousands of documents that could testify, but were taken down and burned by the government? Every time I ask a question in the office or you people ask to see evidence, the answer is always: national security secrets. Our nation's leaders have been killed, what national security is there to speak of? What kind of national security allows to strip people of their most basic rights and authorize an invisible government to rule America? Such national security, gentlemen of the jury, when it smells, looks, feels, you can call it-fascism!
I propose to you what happened on November 22, 1963, a coup! Its most immediate and tragic consequence was to change Kennedy's decision to withdraw troops from Vietnam. The war, which costs $80 billion a year, is America's most profitable business. The murder of President Kennedy was planned in advance by the highest echelons of government and carried out by war zealots in the Pentagon and the CIA. Clayshaw in front of you is one of them!
There is no doubt about this. But being sheltered by the Dallas Police, Secret Service, FBI, and like-minded people in the White House, including Edgar Hoover and Lyndon Johnson, who I believe later became accomplices! The president who was brought into the White House by the assassination of the former president talked as much as he could about his desire for peace while acting as a business agent in Congress for his military contract partners.
Now people say I'm crazy, a southern clown seeking high office. Here's an easy way to prove if I'm a paranoid. Ask those two who benefited from the assassination of the former president and your new president, Richard Nixon, to release 51 CIA documents about Oswaldo and Jack Ruby, either destroyed when copied, or about Oswaldo and Jack Ruby. A secret memorandum of Vado's activities in the Soviet Union. These documents are yours, the property of the people, and you paid for them. But the government may think that you are all children and will be frightened by the facts, or you may get too excited and execute the people involved privately. So for the next 25 years, you won't see these documents.
I'm 40 now, so I won't make it through that day. But I've told my 8-year-old son to keep him healthy so that one glorious September morning in 2038, he can walk into the National Archives and discover CIA and FBI secrets. They might push it back again, and it could be a matter of generations. Fathers pass problems to sons, from generation to generation. But one day, somewhere, someone will discover the damn truth. Until then, we'd better, we'd better give ourselves a new government. As the Declaration of Independence says: Once any form of government is destructive, the people have the right to replace and abolish it.
An American naturalist said: A patriot must always be ready to fight the government to protect his country. I hate to be in the position you are in today, you have a lot to think about, you have seen evidence that the public has not seen. Thinking back to when we were kids, most people thought that justice landed itself among us. Virtue is the best reward for virtue, and justice must triumph over evil. But as we grow up we find that this is not the case. Each of us must fight for justice, and it's not easy. Because truth always causes panic among the powerful, we have to take risks and fight against the powerful. People like Essem Holland, Lee Powers, Jasheen, Will O'Geefe, all took a lot of risk and went forward.
I have 8,000 US dollars sent from all over the country, divided into one yuan or two yuan, from housewives, lumberjacks, car salesmen, teachers, they are all ordinary people, and they are not rich. They drive delivery vans, they nurse patients in hospitals, and they watch their children drive to Vietnam. why? Because they care and want to know the truth, because they want to get their country back. Because as long as we can fight for what we believe in, this country is still ours.
Seeking truth remains our most important life value. If truth has been murdered by the government, if the people are no longer respected, then this place is not the country I was born in, and certainly not the country I want to live with for the rest of my life.
Denison wrote: The dead king was forgotten by those in power. This is the true portrayal of John Ford Kennedy. His murder is perhaps one of the most horrific events in our nation's history. Our people, our jury system, facing the verdict against Clayshaw today, represents the hope of the people fighting the government. So I implore you to convict Clayshaw before the jury is dismissed. I am willing to invite you. Don't ask what this country can do for you, ask yourself what it can do for the country!
Don't forget your dead king. This is still a government of the people, by the people and for the people. As long as we live, nothing is more important.
It's all up to you.
