JFK by
Oliver Stone, creator of Platoon http://realini.blogspot.com/2018/02/platoon-by-oliver-stone.html and more fabulous films
8 out of 10
In some
ways this is the perfect motion picture, with a brilliant (if often excessive,
in awe of dictators) director, fantastic cast, captivating story, alert rhythm,
enticing propositions, a mix with everything in it, and yet, what it sells you
is a lie, which is not on the scale of the ‘stolen elections’ scenario, but
nevertheless, the story that John Fitzgerald Kennedy was killed by the CIA,
Cubans, the Mafia or a combination of these is absurd.
Not absurd,
it is wrong to put it that way, maybe just because it makes some ‘sense’, we
are able to watch this long movie, and even get excited by it – my favorite
discovery of these past years is Magister Ludi Kingsley Amis, I have read about
twenty five of his masterpieces and have been elated, one of them is The King’s
English http://realini.blogspot.com/2023/07/the-kings-english-guide-to-modern-usage.html
The
glorious author looks at a number of words and how they have changed, lost
their significance – take infamous, which comes from infamy, but had arrived at
the stage where it is used for ‘famous’, and therefore, Sir Kingsley Amis says
it is no longer recommended – and he mentions exciting, which because of
advertising and media was used at such a frantic pace that everything was
exciting, soap, toothpaste, shows…
JFK was a
flawed man, I think I have read somewhere that he said ‘he must be with a woman
(sleep) every other day or so’ and he did not mean Jackie (she was present in a
documentary about Maria Callas, aired last night, and I have a feeling that she
was not such a saintly figure either, and then what was all that fuss about her
being gorgeous, she does not appeal to me in the least, as if this matters)
Notwithstanding
that, he may have had the making of a great leader of the world (think of the
Orange buffoon that may get elected, again god damn it, next year…compare him
with JFK) and we could only refer to the Cuban Crisis, when humanity could have
been terminated – what would Trump do in a major crisis, never mind that he
creates them, he wants to bomb…Mexico, but how will we be doing when a self-obsessed
‘big brain and very stable genius’ self-proclaimed will be faced with Armageddon?
True, I
answer my own rhetorical question and relax, for in really extreme situations,
it may not matter, and we have brought ourselves on the brink collectively – I
am reading a book on The Secret of Our Success, which argues that we ‘stand on
the shoulders of hobbits, not giants, it is the wisdom of the crowds that took
us where we are, so if it ends, it will not be the Confidence Man only, though
he makes for a good paradigm
In the
1990s I was in the hospitality business – in short, I took part in the
Revolution, and you will have a link at the end of this article, then met
Michael Meyers from Newsweek, worked for the media and got a recommendation for
the American Embassy and then offered them and the other entities, USAID, Peace
Corps, American School, UK, Canada and other embassies tours – and met with a
fellow, David Popp
His family
came from Maramures, he had his father, no, I think it was the grandfather with
him, and as he introduced himself as the client to go on the trip with me,
after a couple of minutes he said ‘he is with the Secret Service’, which gave
me a scare, for in our communist regime, that was associated with terror, oppression
and all that, besides, Secret means secret, so how and why are you telling me
that?
In the
specialized motion pictures, you get that cliché ‘if we tell you, we have to
shoot you’, but my client told me afterwards that the Secret Service is in fact
the agency that offers protection to presidents and important officials (and
curiously, it also deals with counterfeit currency, he would call me a few
years later from Italy, where I think he was into that latter operation) and it
is not really undercover, or not all that much
I asked
David about JFK and the series of conspiracy theories surrounding the subject
and he answered that it was Oswald Lee and there is nothing further to it,
which is what I believe…if we do some psycho or just analysis, then it is true
that with conspiracy theories all over the place, there is an allergy, bringing
something to absolute exaggeration, hearing falsehoods ad nauseam, you refute even
sensible theories
However,
this is what the motion picture and Oliver Stone argue, making a solid case, as
in they put together a puzzle that seems to fit, you start believing that all
these Cubans (Joe Pesci in a flamboyant appearance) must have wanted JFK dead,
and then the Mafia, which saw its dealings compromised, they thought they had
access to Kennedy, there is another film that says they pushed women, or one in
particular (it would not be Marilyn, do you think) and wanted to control the
president through blackmail…
President
Kennedy was in fact very sick, a documentary (actually, there must be more than
one) explains how he was drugged to be able to stand the pain and basically function
– if I remember this well, but he was horny as hell, though if we look at the
depths to which the standards have plunged, with the Supreme Ghoul elected
after he talked of ‘grabbing women by their pussy’, and with four years of
bedlam, madness still a favorite to become the Republican nominee, with ninety
one counts and four jurisdictions where he is on parole and say that JFK was
Saint Augustine when compared with Satan himself, for those who believe in
scriptures…that is exactly those who side evil these days alas
Now for a
question, and invitation – maybe you have a good idea on how we could make more
than a million dollars with this http://realini.blogspot.com/2022/02/unique-in-world.html?q=unique+in+the+world – as it is, this is a unique technique, which
we could promote, sell, open the Oscars show with or something and then make
lots of money together, if you have the how, I have the product, I just do not
know how to get the befits from it, other than the exercise per se
As for my
role in the Revolution that killed Ceausescu, a smaller Mao, there it is http://realini.blogspot.com/2022/03/realini-in-newsweek-participant-in.html
