We've all become Hamlets in our country,
children of a slain father-leader...
1:16:08
...whose killers still possess the throne.
1:16:11
The ghost of John F. Kennedy confronts us
with the secret murder...
1:16:14
...at the heart of the American Dream.
1:16:17
He forces on us the appalling questions:
Of what is our Constitution made?
1:16:21
What are our lives worth?
1:16:24
What is the future of a democracy...
1:16:26
...where a President can be assassinated
under suspicious circumstances...
1:16:30
...while the machinery of legal action
scarcely trembles?
1:16:34
How many more political murders
disguised as heart attacks...
1:16:38
...suicides, cancers, drug overdoses?
1:16:41
How many plane and car crashes
will occur...
1:16:43
...before they are exposed
for what they are?
1:16:47
"Treason doth never prosper,"
wrote an English poet.
1:16:51
"Whas the reason?"
1:16:53
"For if it prosper,
none dare call it treason."
1:16:56
The American public has yet
to see the Zapruder film.
1:17:00
Why?
1:17:01
The American public has yet to see
the real X-rays and autopsy photographs.
1:17:06
Why?
1:17:07
Hundreds of documents could help prove
this conspiracy.
1:17:11
Why are they being withheld
or burned by the government?
1:17:14
When my office or you, the people, asked
those questions, demanded evidence...
1:17:19
...the answer from on high
has always been: national security.
1:17:24
What kind of national security do we have
when we're robbed of our leaders?
1:17:28
What national security
permits the removal...
1:17:31
...of fundamental power from the people...
1:17:33
...and validates the ascendancy
of an invisible government in the US?
1:17:38
That kind of national security is...
1:17:40
...when it smells like it, feels like it,
and looks like it...
1:17:44
...you call it what it is:
1:17:46
Fascism!
1:17:50
I submit to you that what took place
on November 22, 1963...
1:17:55
...was a coup d'état.
1:17:57
Its most direct and tragic result...
1:17:59
...was the reversal of Kennedy's decision
to withdraw from Vietnam.
