A Non-Verbal Symbol For Our Cause
by Mark Prior
Hand in the in air. Thumb tucked in. Four fingers up. We believe that at least four shots were fired in Dallas on November 22, 1963. And if there was a fourth shot, then there must have been another gunman. And if there was another gunman, then by definition, that is a conspiracy.
A symbol can say a lot without uttering a word. Two fingers up, "peace." One finger up, "we're the best," or depending on which one finger, what you think about someone. Three fingers up...well, out side of the Boy Scouts, to my knowledge three fingers up just means "three."
There are sports connotations to four fingers up that can be applied to our cause. Typically in college football, fans & players will hold up four fingers at the beginning of the fourth quarter of a game. The symbol signifies several things: "This is when we're at our best," "We're not going to quit," and "We've only just begun to fight" among other things. These are themes that have resounded within the assassination research community.
"Four fingers up" can be ours. Whether you believe President Kennedy was assassinated by a conspiracy originating from the CIA, LBJ or the Mafia, we all believe that at least four shots were fired at the Presidential motorcade. When you find yourself at an impasse in a debate over who was responsible for the JFK's death,just say "hey, agree to disagree," and hold up four fingers. By empowering this symbol, from Dallas to Washington DC to New York to Los Angeles and around the world, we can stand as a group, say nothing, hold our hands high and still let the people know what we believe. A non-verbal and powerful symbol.
Imagine attending whatever the city of Dallas has planned in Dealey Plaza on11/22/2013. They have some speaker of regional importance recounting a Warren Commission version of the events of that day. Then, one by one, hands with four fingers each rise above the crowd. And very quickly Dealey Plaza becomes filled with four-fingered hands. A silent awkwardness befalls the speaker. Then in a concerted effort, we all use our other hands and point at the knoll. And we will have done it in front of the mainstream media. Without carrying a sign or saying anything...we will have said everything.
