[olug] OT: Freedom Downtime review

[Brian Wiese]

The facts of the events that happened on that day are intriguing enough,
and how all the possible supsects that could share insights into the
conspiracy all mysteriously died just as the investigation was underway...
this all raises credible suspicion, more than any free thinking mind would
need to be convinced of a conspiracy.  It doesn't make sense otherwise,
the small amounts of "truth" and facts that came about from that day (as
wrapped in secrecy as it is), is simply thought provoking.  Goes to show,
trying to plan a conspiracy assisination in 'public' is quite tough. =)

main point: the simple _facts_ definately support a conspiracy.
I was not made aware of many of these facts until I watched this
film though, that's why I love film - so informative.

These are minor details, I'm a "go by the facts" please kind of person. 
Of course this was a hollywood rendition "based on a true story".  Of
course little things are not completely consistent, it has to be made into
a movie.  If you read the last notes at the end of the movie, it says
(apparently this Mr. X?) did come before the court (in the 70's?)  to
testify on many of those conditions.

not nearly, but this is just a fine example... especially if one
consider's the government only corrupt now today in our "total information
awareness" era.

|While I think that Stone's film was a great fictional

|Friday's show that were transmissions between
|Kennedy's staff (R McNamara and others) and Johnson's
|group in Dallas, showing that after the right after
|the shots rang out, there was complete confusion, or a
|breakdown within the chain of command for about 2 hrs.
|and nobody was in charge of the United States.

unfortunately, the real documents are wrapped up in secrecy until 2039?
(after all those involved are dead) I believe the movie said... only then
will we maybe really know what happened.  When a government has to hide so
much from it's people, it's kinda scary.
