As I suggested in post #2 of this thread....
A work of Grand Guignol, with the world's Most Powerful Man slaughtered like a dog, to traumatize a global audience.
The medical science of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder has conducted extensive work on how memory is laid down, and a working hypothesis - in non medical jargon - is loosely that the biochemistry of how a traumatic event (eg seeing a friend being shot, learning of a child's death) is turned into memory is fundamentally different from how everyday events (eg walking the dog) are turned into memories.
This difference renders the traumatic memories much more likely to appear uncontrollably, transporting the person's body back to the time, moment and fight/flight biochemistry of the original traumatic moment.
"Everyone remembers where they were when Kennedy was shot".
A global trauma.
Delivered to the preterite....
To remind them of their preterite status....
