JFK RFK MLK Assassination Forum

Excellent review Ken. Happy to see I'm not just whistling in the dark on my impressions of Ken Burns' whitewashed history of the war. It adressed my complaint of there being no investigation of the Why of the war in Burns' series. I look forward to DiEugenio's next installment if there is one.kenmur...

I've seen the first 6 episodes I don't think I will watch the rest. To be honest, the documentary seems like a whitewash of Johnson and the Generals. They are painted as Patriots who wanted to fight Communism, trapped by historical events. I don't believe that. JFK had pledged we would be out of Vie...

I have been watching the new Ken Burns series on PBS, The Vietnam War. The incompetence of the intelligence gathered and the decisions made by the administration and most of the field commanders is staggering. Every journalist and GI knew the true story. The documentary seems to paint the administra...

For sure by now. It didn't take Obama long either. I think the only president that has stayed true to his conscience was Jimmy Carter.

I've always thought this was an attempt to assassinate Ted Kennedy to keep him from running for (and most likely winning) the presidency. I thought the same thing about JFK JR's death just as he was poised to finally enter politics. He would have easily become president in short order. Makes me ques...

The same people have run it since Eisenhower. The president is window dressing and a focal point for news and commentary. He doesn't run the country. He takes orders.

Always thought 911 was a similar act to the JFK/RFK/MLK assassinations. Same groups of players, same motives. The military industrial complex at work. Also felt that there must be a massive mass hypnosis/propaganda network in play that keeps this from becomming commented upon in the mainstream media...

Slav that's a great article and I believe Stone is right on target. Stone's account of the number of guns and shots in play against Reagan that day reminds me of the RFK and JFK assasinations, too many for the accused assassins to have fired from where they stood. Sirhan never got in a position to d...

She fought a losing campaign like Kerry and Gore. Full of platitudes and slogans with no real substance. Like Gore she was an empty suit, a party hack, looking to slide into office on the coat tails of the previous charismatic president, and beholding to the people who donated big money and influenc...

I enjoyed reading all the comments on this thread and so will add my 2 cents. I disagreed with a few of the premises however.1. The world changed the day JFK was assassinated. I would argue it went back to the way it was. Eisenhower spent 8 years allowing the military budget to mushroom. In 1960, at...
