JFK (film) Quotes

No one has said, “He must die.” No vote. Nothing’s on paper. There’s no one to blame. It’s as old as the crucifixion. Or the military firing squad. Five bullets, one blank. No one’s guilty. Everybody in the power structure has a plausible deniability. No compromising connections except at the most secret point. But it must succeed. No matter how many die or how much it costs, the perpetrators must be on the winning side and never subject to prosecution for anything by anyone. That is a coup d’état. - View Quote Details on No one has said, “He must die.” No vote. Nothing’s…
It may become a generational affair. Questions passed from father to son, mother to daughter. But someday, somewhere, someone may find out the damn truth. We better. Or we might just as well build ourselves another government like the Declaration of Independence says to, when the old one just ain’t working any more. - View Quote Details on It may become a generational affair.

The organizing principle of any society, Mr. Garrison, is for war. The authority of the state over its people resides in its war powers. Kennedy wanted to end the Cold War in his second term. He wanted to call off the moon race in favor of cooperation with the Soviets. He signed a treaty to ban nuclear testing. He refused to invade Cuba in 1962. He set out to withdraw from Vietnam. But all that ended on the 22nd of November, 1963. Since 1961, they knew Kennedy was not going to war in Southeast Asia. Like Caesar, he is surrounded by enemies. Something’s underway, but it has no face. Yet everybody in the loop knows. - View Quote Details on The organizing principle of any society, Mr. Garrison, is for…
These are people who cannot afford to send money but do. People who drive cabs who nurse in hospitals who see their kids go to Vietnam. Why? Because they care. Because they want to know the truth. Because they want their country back. Because it still belongs to us as long as the people have the guts to fight for what they believe in. The truth is the most important value we have because if it doesn’t endure, if the government murders truth, if we cannot respect these people, then this is not the country I was born in or the country I want to die in. - View Quote Details on These are people who cannot afford to send money but…
A single bullet must account for the seven wounds in Kennedy and Connally. Rather than admit to a conspiracy or investigate further, the Warren Commission endorsed the theory put forth by an ambitious attorney, Arlen Specter. One of the grossest lies ever forced on the American people, it’s known as the “magic bullet” theory… Some bullet. Any combat vet can tell you, never in the history of gunfire has there been a bullet this ridiculous. The government says it can prove it with some fancy physics in a nuclear lab. Of course they can. Theoretical physics can prove an elephant can hang from a cliff with his tail tied to a daisy. But use your eyes, your common sense. - View Quote Details on A single bullet must account for the seven wounds in…
We’ve all become Hamlets in our country, children of a slain father-leader whose killers still possess the throne. The ghost of John F. Kennedy confronts us with the secret murder at the heart of the American Dream. He forces on us the appalling questions: Of what is our Constitution made? What are our lives worth? What is the future of a democracy where a President can be assassinated under suspicious circumstances while the machinery of legal action scarcely trembles? How many more political murders disguised as heart attacks, suicides, cancers, drug overdoses? How many plane and car crashes will occur before they are exposed for what they are? - View Quote Details on We’ve all become Hamlets in our country, children of a…
Could the Mob change the parade route, Bill, or eliminate the protection for the President? Could the Mob send Oswald to Russia and get him back? Could the Mob get the FBI the CIA and the Dallas Police to make a mess of the investigation? Could the Mob appoint the Warren Commission to cover it up? Could the Mob wreck the autopsy? Could the Mob influence the national media to go to sleep? And since when has the Mob used anything but.38’s for hits, up close? The Mob wouldn’t have the guts or the power for something of this magnitude. Assassins need payrolls, orders, times, schedules. This was a military-style ambush from start to finish… a coup d’etat, with Lyndon Johnson waiting in the wings. - View Quote Details on Could the Mob change the parade route, Bill, or eliminate…
This single-bullet explanation is the foundation of the Warren Commission’s claim of one assassin. And once you conclude the magic bullet couldn’t create all seven wounds, you must conclude there was a fourth shot and a second rifleman. And if there was a second rifleman, then by definition there had to be a conspiracy. - View Quote Details on This single-bullet explanation is the foundation of the Warren Commission’s…
