The Perfect Storm in Dallas
timbermisc9 October 2015
This documentary emphasizes the motives of certain organizations, CIA, FBI, and the powerful people who were negatively effected during the Presidency of Kennedy. The implication is that these people were in a position to become big losers if Kennedy stayed alive. Interviews of people who witnessed certain meetings and the demeanors of those powerful people are included.

Whereas the typical home brew opinionated person tries to pick apart Lee Harvey Oswald as the killer, this documentary lays out the huge reasons that Kennedy was placed in a dangerous "perfect storm" and "suckered" into visiting Dallas Texas. The documentary says it very strongly that having JFK killed solved some very big personal problems for certain people who would have gone to jail, and lost their careers, if he had not been killed. And they just use facts to prove this.

The film features in person interviews of people who were close to the above important people. It gives an actual view of rooms, and places where certain events took place.

Remember that when police perform an investigation, they look for motives not simply the physical evidence. Physical evidence can be changed, polluted, manipulated, fabricated. This film is about motives. The motives displayed here are not easy or possible to refute.

The facts used cannot be argued or manipulated herein. Example: There was a tax loophole available to oilmen in Texas. Kennedy sought to end it. This would have a big impact on the local economy of Texas and anyone owning oil pumping land. Jimmy Carter finally did end it. Kennedy was shortly planning on ending it. He was never able to. More: LBJ disliked the Kennedys; and the Kennedys disliked LBJ. Find out why.

This documentary is riveting. It will help you to place all of the information surrounding the killing of JFK in a believable context with motives clearly laid out. The person Lee Harvey Oswald is hardly mentioned in this particular film.

I am glad that I lived long enough to see this. If you do not see videos on the JFK killing, this is THE ONE to see.

The Men Who Killed Kennedy: The Guilty Men

The Men Who Killed Kennedy: The Guilty Men (2003)

The ninth and to date last episode in the series is perhaps the most controversial as it places the full blame of the Kennedy assassination on Lyndon Johnson. This episode starts off with Johnson's lawyer looking at the camera and stating for a fact that he knows Johnson was responsible for the assassination.

Once again, this is one of those conspiracy theories that some will agree with while others say it's a bunch of folks just trying to make a name for themselves. Either way this here is a pretty entertaining episode that goes into the dark in regards to how dirty some believed Johnson was. There's an interview with one of his mistresses who talks about other business that he was in. The illegal kind of course. Fans of this type of documentary will enjoy what's here.

Episode: B+
