blood on the tracks

 

Turn away from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.

Psalm 34:14

Jim Garrison

[Wikipedia] --------------- As New Orleans D.A. in late 1966, Garrison began an investigation into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, after receiving several tips from Jack Martin that a man named David Ferrie may have been involved in the assassination.  

The result of Garrison's investigation was the arrest and trial of New Orleans businessman Clay Shaw in 1969, with Shaw being unanimously acquitted less than one hour after the case went to the jury.

Garrison was able to subpoena the Zapruder film from Life magazine.  Thus, members of the American public -- i.e., the jurors of the case -- were shown the movie for the first time.

...U.S. talk radio host David Mendelsohn conducted a comprehensive interview with Garrison which was broadcast in 1988 by KPFA in Berkeley, California. ...  Garrison explains that cover stories were circulated in an attempt to blame the killing on the Cubans and the Mafia but he blames the conspiracy to kill the president firmly on the CIA who wanted to continue the Cold War. ------------------ [end / encyclopedia excerpt]

        They couldn't have killed him in a more brutal, gruesome, public way.  It was as if they were saying, "Here is what we're gonna do with your fair, just, equitable world."  And that's exactly what they did with it.
