Thank you, Jim.
Let's not kid ourselves: In all likelihood, the Garrison nomination will not achieve our desired result.
But perhaps I'm wrong. Perhaps, as has been written, it is indeed better to travel hopefully than to arrive.
Because if we spread the news about the nomination -- and I intend to do so along traditional and non-traditional lines early in January -- we can help prep the battlefields, as they say, for the engagements that surely will take place with increasing ferocity as the 50th anniversary year unfolds.
The ultimate value of the nomination, I submit, may be discerned in its strengths as symbol and as public relations vehicle.
And if you'll allow me to daydream, if for only a moment: Imagine the paradigm-shifting, positive change that would be experienced not only by the American democracy, but also by people and their governments around world, should the Kennedy family, fifty years after the conspirators' greatest victory, stand and join us in vowing, "This far and no farther."
Could there be a greater victory for truth, for justice, and for John Fitzgerald Kennedy?
Mr. Drago,
Right to the heart of the issue. As usual.
I too doubt Judge Jim Garrison could ever attain this award no matter how appropriate it is.
The point of his not being "allowed" to win this IMHO deserved distinction is well taken and sadly I suspect too d*mn true.
I agree with your view and again commend any effort you undertake to expose the reality.
I can do little but endorse your efforts and all a citizen of the US can do. If I can help I would be happy to do so, I have little money but I do have time.
Didn't Judge Garrison write in "Heritage of Stone" that the Clay Shaw trial even though he didn't secure a conviction, the office of the Prosecutor did get somethings into the public knowledge?
I no longer have that title but I think I recall a passage to that effect. I recall Oliver Stone wrote into the script of his film the scene about winning in the court of public opinion and losing at the trial.
Maybe we as this DPF community can accomplish something along those lines?
I remember too well the 40th anniversary fiascoes of the Media, Peter Jennings and Katie Couric out right lied to the people. Not even good lies, but old lies retreaded. Even PBS rebroadcast their loser "Who was Lee Oswald?"
It is my fear that the global population will be subjected to far worse in this coming anniversary.
As pathetic as the media crap was in 2003, the efforts haven't stopped in this last decade. Disney still spouts crap as truth through the so called Discovery channel. Inside the death car and on and on.
Goebbels would be proud of Rupert Murdock and those other sh**heads of that Empire.
That junk can be broadcast but the so called History Channel won't touch TMWKK, but they will sell you the first 6 episodes. I was fortunate to have recorded the last 3 episodes the only time it was aired here, 2002 I think.
What would Goebbels have given to have the tool of TV?
The powers that be cannot tolerate anyone speaking truth to that power. They are frightened of the truth. Just simple truth threatens them. That is a statement that can stand alone to expose what they are. The consent of the governed should never tolerate secrecy to protect empire.
Bill of Rights? Ask Bob Groden about that one.
Maybe because I was alive and aware in 1963 I cannot ever let John Kennedy's MURDER pass into history as Abraham Lincoln's has. Not so much for Camelot as shimmering chimera but as history of a time better than the present (I think). A better example of what Can Be.
John Kennedy, Robert Kennedy and Jim Garrison with many others deserve our efforts to right the record in even the tiniest ways we can accomplish. Your nomination of Judge Jim Garrison qualifies as a fine effort no matter the recipient of the award.
I've rambled on long enough.
Jim
