Anniversary

[Peter Lemkin]

I was then actively a JFK researcher, living in San Diego. Jim Marrs and I were contracted to do a book together on a certain aspect of 11/22. Stone's researchers bought him out from under that project, but because of that I was one of the first to know about the film. I also got from Jim some of the inside scoop on the formulation and battles over how the film should or would be in the end. I have to admit to having been angry at Stone for upsetting my own plans and causing me much lost money and time. The film has its flaws, but overall has had a good effect on the Public and that is what matters most. I, and some others, used to stand just outside larger movie theaters in San Diego handing out more detailed information and references for those interested. Many were! People poured out of the theaters stunned and hungry for more information. I started to get invitations from some in the crowd to come lecture at their university or whatever - and did. It was a time of eye-opening for many and that was toward the good. For most, there was simply too much material happening too quickly in the film to grasp in one viewing. Interestingly, many got it on tape/CD or went back and saw it several times. Charles is right that we need a new and better, closer to the truth we know now film, play, whatever....as they are rolling out the big guns of disinformation for the 50th, just two short years away.
