To this day, we still reel over the sheer audacity of his assassination. Conspiracy theories or not, he was the President of the United States. The way he went out is still abhorred.
@@jimtrack3786 They were doing fine but the way he was killed was unfair. Many kids lose their parents young but they were blessed with enormous wealth
@@joesteedman8230 They were fine doing better than most. In 2024 I would not be crying for them. And Jackie was left very wealthy by Marrying Ari. Her children were also left the wealthiest of the Kennedy grandkids and eventually Caroline even more when her brother died
Except it has nothing to do with what occurred. The Conspiracy and cover up of JFK's Assassination has ruined every major Govt. Agency and the Media. This is what we have left. read it and weep for America and the world.
@@midnightteapot5633 It was great and I watched it many times younger. A great job was done on this, but another one I found in later years was one by National Geographic and even better with never seen footage that really covers the trip to Texas. I loved that one even more.
I was also born in 1961 and grew up in Dallas. I was amazed how this year was Friday, November 22 and hardly anyone took notice of the anniversary of this event.
What are you talking about? “Disorder” was rampant in the ‘60s. JFK, Malcolm, MLK, RFK, Hampton, and state supported protests in the South and anti-war protests throughout the country. It was an era with so much disorder, the mayor of Chicago noted during the 1968 Democratic national convention, “Police are not here to create disorder. Police are here to preserve disorder.”
@Rick-zw7zv many believe the so called "greatest generation",gave birth to the generation of free love ,the drug culture,hippies women's lib,ect.From order to disorder and it's not gonna get better by the loos of things
I remember the day well. I was in the first grade and we heard the news on the radio. I remember all the teachers crying. We students weren’t told anything, we found out when we got home. My parents had not voted for him, but my mother still cried. I’ve often wondered how this day formed how I grew up.
I was in the 5th grade and the principal made the announcement over the PA system. School was dismissed at lunch for the day. Watched the news all that night.
I was in first grade also, pretty much the same thing in my school. I remember I was totally amazed by the funeral procession and all the people paying respect in the capital rotunda. At that time I didn’t know that many people existed.
On that day, I was in the 3rd grade. I was age 9. Our class was to give the school priciple a patrotic history presentation of the American revolutionary war. It was during lunch break that I was going to borrow a 3 cornered hat from a friend of my mother. A woman came out of her house in a state of shock and despair and was shouting to the children that the President had been shot. Our presentation after lunch was cut short when it was announced that President Kennedy was dead. Teachers were in tears. It was an overcast day in the Chicago area. I just happened to be watching TV days later and witnessed in real time, Jack Ruby shooting Lee Harvy Oswald. Not such a good thing for a kid to see.
I AM NOW 68 YEARS❤BUT IS 79 YEARS IS JOHN F.KENNEDY S ASSASSINE AND HE LIVES IN STOCKHOLM AT HANTVERKARGATAN 59 WITH HIS WIFE LISE LOTT HIS NAME IS WALTER KEGÖ 19451126-3339 SHUTING MR.KENNEDY 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
61 years and still the narrative persists. This is a very well-produced piece of historic footage interpersed with truth, lies and myths, somewhat similar to TV news today. Never forget the Zapruder film was supressed for years and was missing frames from it when it was finally returned to the family.
@stddisclaimer8020 Abraham was " respectfully" paid $150k for his 26 seconds of film, by Life Magazine, who's owner ironically had worked for the CIA. Life showed mountains of respect for the Kennedy family, by printing enlarged, splattered with red, photographs in their December issue. Merry Christmas, Kennedy Family! In August of 1999, almost 30 yrs after Abe passed away from stomach cancer, it was like Christmas for the Zapruder family, as they were awarded $16M, courtesy of the U.S. taxpayers, for the use or " misuse" of Daddy's film.
Yes we did! The truth will all come out next year. It will be heartbreaking, infuriating, and down right evil what our corrupt government did to a President of the United States.
@stddisclaimer8020 Read a few good books like-The Man Who Knew Too Much-JFK And The Unspeakable-Mary's Mosaic-Chokeholds-Final Analysis-each one rips to shreds the Oswald Alone Nonsense.
Jack didn't hate Lyndon..it was Bobby and Lyndon who never got along! I've studied about this time period and have studied both sides of the assassination!
Whenever I see historical footage of JFK, Malcolm X, MLK Jr, and RFK; it just blows my mind that I’m older now, at 52, than when these people were when they were all killed 😢🤬. All because these men saw America could be better than what it was (maybe still) during their lives
61yrs later,the people have come to realise,the evil that stalks the corridors, of your,so called Democracy, God Bless JFK, MLK, RFK and Malcolm X❤ from England 🇬🇧
We turned over throws coup de tas assassination into an art form via the CIA and Mafia. It gets worse: John and Robert Kennedy tried to kill Castro trying to stir up an “internal” coup but the Mafia infiltrated the plan and the CIA and FBI didn’t warn the Kennedy brothers that the CIA was still using the Mafia and then the intelligence community was blackmailed by the mob and threatened to leak the coup plot out if the U.S. government pointed there finger in the Mafia’s direction. Most of the evil has been committed by those on the Right.
It is interesting in this documentary about the horrific event that took place in Dallas, no one can ever say that the Late President and the First Lady was snobbish, rude or arrogant. They shook hands with many people during the trip to Texas! That tells you everything you need to know about him and his wife! Especially for someone who did not have great health! He could have been in a bad mood, but he did not let that interfere with his duties as President! This is never talked about when talking about the Late President.
@@NancySanders-om4ic And no one can ever say that Jackie Kennedy didn't risk her own life who didn't cower in her seat because she couldn't have known she could have very well been in the shooters sights next but she was laser-focused on only one thing and that was crawling onto the trunk of the moving vehicle in order to retrieve part of her husband's head to try and save his life. The poor woman!
I watched this on A&E April 1994. I'll never forget it was a gray rainy week and I watched this presentation on a rainy Saturday. I was only 14 and back in those days things of the past were very intriguing to me.
42:47 So here you can see what a clear view this supposed sniper's nest has of Houston Street, where you'd be watching President Kennedy coming slowly *directly toward you.* Seems to me THIS is when a lone assassin would take his shot, or at least START shooting, if he really were alone and wanted his best chance to succeed. Why, then, wait for the motorcade to round onto Elm Street and begin moving AWAY from you, vanishing behind trees and signs, UNLESS the plan was to wait until the President was in the midst of a pre-arranged crossfire in which you are not the primary shooter but rather the backup? And why did the shot(s) that hit Kennedy and Connolly not explode but pass fairly cleanly through their bodies, while the final bullet-supposedly the same ammo from the same rifle-literally *_explodes_* on contact? It's very clear to me the shot that killed the President came from the right front and was a frangible bullet. Dum-dum; hollow point; call it what you like. It's hard for me to believe people can convince themselves there was only one guy, the shots all came from the rear, and all the ammunition was of the same type and came from the same weapon.
Hey, Columbo, Oswald shooting at the limo while it was still on Houston means it would accelerate and zoom past him, leaving him a sitting ducking duck for the Secret Service agents behind who would immediately know exactly where the shooter was. Oswald was mad but he wasn't stupid. As for the bullets, the bullet recovered from the stretcher is badly crushed at the nose and flattened down one side, consistent with going through Kennedy without hitting bone, slowing and tumbling on leaving him, then broadsiding its way through Connally's ribs, as medical and forensic evidence clearly demonstrate. The last bullet smashed directly into skull and exploded on contact. ALL bullets and fragments ever found were matched to Oswald's rifle. Witnesses directly under the sixth floor window firmly said the shots all came from directly overhead. Those witnesses had a clear view behind the knoll fence and would plainly have seen any gunman there.
@@barbarawinsor5306 I just explained why it would have demonstrably have made no sense to fire on the limo while it was still on Houston, and I just explained the ballistics question by using hard, credible, demonstrable and documented evidence, you have a problem with that?
I was in fifth grade when President Kennedy was assassinated. In 1960, I met Senator Kennedy. I was seven years old. I still remember him. His smile mostly. He talked to my dad for a few minutes, and they shook hands. And then he moved on where a photo was taken. My dad was in the background of that photo. I have a copy of it. Its a reminder of the day I got to meet a future president.
JFK assassination, one of the most earth-shaking events in world history. The day when the whole world suddenly stood stilll in shock, horror, dismay and silence.
Watching this 61 years later and remembering the experience of an 11 year old boy, I remained glued day and night in front of a portable black and white TV. It was the finality of the solemn cortège and unforgettable rhythm of the drums that released me from the unreality of what happened. My 11 year old boy returned on 9/11 to remind me this too will pass and I can live through it.😢
On 10/12/62, 13 mo.'s before the assassination, at age 16, I saw both John & Jackie Kennedy, in the same Lincoln Continental that he would die in (found that out later), when they unexpectedly appeared before the Columbus Day Parade, NYC!/ In Oct. 1966, Jackie called my workplace, ( A.J.Taylor & Co.) to buy a hat for Caroline & even after 3 yrs., I was still so overwhelmed, hearing her voice, that I let another take the order! R.I.P. John & Jackie!
I was 4 years old at the time. The day of his assassination and the day of his funeral were two of the only three days I ever saw my mother cry in her life.
My mother watched the news on TV when she was expecting me-a high five to the cameraperson for catching all this history. I just read that the cowboy hat and Mrs. Kennedy’s hat disappeared, and I found nothing regarding the boots.
My mom was 7 months pregnant with me when this happened. A month earlier, my dad's father had died suddenly of a stroke, and when my dad called to tell her the news, the first thing he said was "Alice, are you sitting down?" On this day it was my dad's sister (my aunt) who called Mom and immediately said "Are you sitting down?" Mom thought it was bad news about my dad's mother (who was in ill health) but my aunt told her to turn on the TV because President Kennedy had been shot.
In that case I look forward to you now explaining how "LBJ and others" framing your innocent Oswald could possibly have known: - he would show up unexpectedly at the Paine house Nov. 21, otherwise they can't pretend he smuggled the rifle Nov. 22 - he wouldn't simply stand out on the sidewalk during the parade - nobody would ever find any bullets or fragments that don't match to his rifle - no unidentified persons would ever be seen in the building by anybody - he would immediately leave the crime scene - he was guaranteed to go specifically to Oak Cliff - he owned a revolver at all - he would decide at the last minute to put a jacket on at all - an imposter who looks so much like him he is guaranteed to fool the nearly dozen witnesses who ID Oswald needs to be hanging around 10th and Patton - a cop will be driving through there at exactly the right moment to plausibly place Oswald at the crime scene - the imposter can be certain Oswald is still at liberty, has no alibi, and is in the neighbourhood - the cop won't simply outdraw and capture the imposter, blowing the whole plot - no other cop will capture the imposter, blowing the whole plot - a shoe store clerk will happen to have his radio on, hear the APB on the assassination suspect, and notice Oswald trying to hide from passing cops in his doorway - Oswald will get caught red-handed trying to shoot a second cop - he will fight police so violently 3 officers will be injured just disarming him - he will observe, "Well, they say it only takes a minute to die" after asking about the penalty for cop-killing - he will lie to police about his whereabouts during the assassination - he will refuse to cooperate with any investigator - he will turn down help from the President of the Dallas Bar Association - he will only be interested in a lawyer he'd never met living in another state who specialized in left-wing causes - he will insist on acting so smug he will even convince his own brother he is guilty - he will make no attempt to blow any conspiracy framing him to anybody - he will just shrug a hollow, rambling reply when asked on live TV, "Did you shoot the President?" - the Dallas PD will be on board for the successful escape from justice of the "real killers" of a decorated brother officer with a wife and 3 children - they are guaranteed to safely approach scores of witnesses, police, FBI, Secret Service, military personnel, doctors, pathologists, ballistics experts, Oswald family members, whole commissions, the D.A., the Chief Justice, etc., and persuade them all to obey illegal orders to commit crimes, assist a bloody coup, and bend over backwards making themselves all eternally loyal accessories to murder and treason... Thanks in advance for clearing all this up.
The only thing I didn't like about this is that whomever produced this particular version of this documentary added music to the original soundtrack in certain spots, altering and ruining the beauty of the original soundtrack. They also took great liberties at removing the original "Taps" at the end of the film. The horn player made a mistake as he played, which should never have been changed.
@@Gort58 Thanks for pointing this out. Its such a shame that people take it upon themselves to ruin a film by taking it upon themselves to edit a piece of history such as this.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for this video!! I was 7 years old when this happened and remembering watching the funeral. I sat in front of the TV for days, it seems. I remember feeling sad. Today, it's all making sense.
And HOW, exactly, do you safely approach the CIA, FBI, Secret Service, Dallas PD, "organized crime," etc., and persuade them all to trust each other implicitly, obey illegal orders, assist a bloody coup, and bend over backwards making themselves all eternally loyal accessories to murder and treason...?
Yes Jerry. Hundreds of people involved, all coordinating to execute the same script, yet not one has come forward and no evidence of this exists anywhere.
And just HOW, exactly, do you safely approach all of these people and persuade them all to obey illegal orders and bend over backwards making themselves all eternally loyal accessories to murder and treason?
@Michaelrowedtheboatashore using the top makes it easier to target your prey or harder? Oh that's right, you voted Trump. Lol the top would've changed everything
When Johnson was leaving in the helicopter the sound track was screwed up. I’ve worked on the type. It was a turboshaft not a piston engine. It was a good documentary.
@@aaronz7056No, that's what they want you to believe, there were many threats on the president life. The secret service should have done a better job. Every thing has been done for this asassination to occur.
I am 67. I was in the 1st grade and must have been home sick that day. (Actually didnt want to go to school but stay home with Mommy instead) I do remember the interruption of 'As the World Turns' and Walter Cronkite announcing the President's death. More than anything, I remember the lying in state and the funeral. The chilling flag draped coffin, the black horse with the backward boots, the shock and sadnesses. As time continues, I realized most people younger than me have no direct experience or recollection of this event. Now it us the stuff of film, history and books.
I am nearing 66 and I too remember the4 funeral procession. Everyone was upset around me and I felt scared. I asked Mom for my chocolate milk in a bottle. While sucking on the bottle, the Milkman arrived and I quickly held the bottle behind my back in shame. But, alas, I can't remember what I ate yesterday.
I was 11years old. I remember that day where I was how I heard the news how I felt. It was a very long hard weekend. Then decades later finding out the truth of this heinous act. We will finally hear the whole truth next year. It will be hard to believe how evil our government was that day and even far worse now. But GOD
Agree. It reminds me of our innocence in those days, believing the media news, thinking leaders had the interests of the people, respect for others, behavior in public was polite, language was restrained, people cared about faith and family. My eyes are opened now, and it’s a harsher world controlled by evil people.
@aaronz7056 I've often said that. I wasn't born, but of course I've heard this all my life. NO HUMAN BEING COULD KEEP A SECRET FOR THIS LONG. The overwhelming majority of any participants and conspirators would be dead by now. Hell, even Deep Throat confessed near the end! 😆
@@kimjohnson8471 Well, Deep Throat merely came forward and revealed his true identity, he wasn't being a criminal. However, yes, according to the collective claims of conspiracy theorists, about 200 people were safely approached and persuaded to trust each other implicitly and bend over backwards making themselves all eternally loyal accessories to murder and treason...
They often ask, do you remember where you were when....... I was just 6 at the time. In grade 1 at a country school here in Canada not far from Detroit. I remember the principal coming into the classroom to tell us of the news. It was a 2 mile walk home along a usually busy road. There was hardly any traffic. Once home, dad was unusually in from the field watching the news on the RCA black and white. Truly a very dark day for a nation, for the world. What's happening in the world today absolutely terrifies me. So much violence. You would never see a 6 yr old walking alone on any street.
A very good documentary as per the Warren Commission report. We have learned a lot since then. Oswald was a patsy, he even said so while being hustled through the halls of the Dallas Police HQ. He probably fired only two shots but left 3 spent cartridges on the floor. Another shooter was at the grassy knoll who took the "kill shot". Jack Ruby's job was to kill Oswald. Ruby was already slowly dying of cancer and, while in prison only gave one interview... to Dorothy Kilgallen. She died shortly after the interview in November 1965 of very suspicsuious circumstances. Who could have organized such an elaborate conspiracy? TheMafia or the CIA or both. Take your pick.
A single individual decided to eliminate JFK - after 61 years they still insist it was a job done by a single killer? No way - it was conspiracy! Inside job - no doubt about it!
a) And just HOW, exactly, does "the Mafia or the CIA" safely approach scores and scores of witnesses, police, FBI, Secret Service, military personnel, pathologists, ballistics experts, whole commissions, lawyers, senators, congressmen, the D.A., the Chief Justice, etc., and persuade them all to obey illegal orders and bend over backwards making themselves all eternally loyal accessories to murder and treason...? b) If you could have been bothered to watch the entire clip Oswald only says he is a patsy in relation to being hassled by cops for having lived in Russia, and in fact he never attempted to blow any conspiracy framing him to any cop, any member of his family, or to a live TV audience of millions. c) Oswald, needless to say, fired 3 shots, as backed up by victims' reactions in Zapruder's film and by most credible witnesses. d) Witnesses directly under the sixth floor window firmly said the shots all came from directly overhead, they had a clear view behind the knoll fence and would plainly have seen any gunman there. e) Funny how nobody ever explains why, if Ruby was obeying orders to go on a suicide mission anyway, the bad guys didn't just have HIM stand out on the sidewalk during the parade and assassinate Kennedy himself. f) Kilgallen's exchanges with Ruby were in court during his public trial where he could have come forward with any public statement he cared to make. Her reporting was only going to be part of a much larger book on other trials she had covered she wasn't planning on publishing for months, hardly an urgent expose. If she possessed any info that was going to blow any conspiracy and save the country, she was sure in no hurry to do anything with any of it. Her O.D. was investigated by the police and the HSCA, neither of whom found any evidence of foul play.
I asked my mom about JFK death and she started to cry many years later. Everyone I asked still are heart broken. Ask not what your nation can do for you, but you can do for your nation.
I was only 14 years old then and english but we felt deeply for JFK such a terrible thing that a stupid idiot did such a terrible thing how could that happen God bless America !
Of course not, he merely owned and smuggled the rifle, left his latent print on it, lied to police about his whereabouts, fled the crime scene, shot a cop, was caught trying to shoot a second cop, refused to cooperate, even convinced his own brother he was guilty, never attempted to blow any conspiracy framing him, and just shrugged a hollow, rambling reply when asked on live TV, "Did you shoot the President?"
At 50:36 The tall young man on the right in the dark shirt with his arms crossed is believed to be the future star Meat Loaf, whose name was Marvin Lee Aday. His father was a Dallas Police officer who the singer said in interviews was assigned to guard the outside of Parkland Hospital after the shooting. He said he went there to be near his father, and he said he is visible there in this scene. It certainly looks like him. Aday was 16 then.
I’ll never forget that day … I was 12 years old. In the 7th grade. We were sent home earlier than usual and it was all over the tv news. All other programming was cancelled the entire weekend! My family had 9 children and our first tv set ever. I was glued to the screen! I saw Ruby kill Oswald on Sunday. The first murder ever on live tv I was told! Anyway the sadness was contagious among so many. 😢
How the Dallas police and the Secret Service let this happen is the most appalling aspect of the assassination. You could have not picked a better sniper position than the 6th floor of the TSBD. Why wasn't that and other buildings shuttered and secured? I've listened to so many 11/22/1963 broadcasts praising the police for their security measures that were unparalleled in Dallas' history. The fact is they did little securing. What they did was a big, strutting show of force that was setup to react, not prevent. "You try anything, we'll shoot you." A dedicated assassin isn't going to be intimidated from their goal by that stupidity. They learned nothing as proven 2 days later Oswald was murdered literally in their hands. In the aftermath, police were saying they searched closets and car trunks. Hoping to find what? An assassin hiding in a trunk? Morons.
@stddisclaimer8020 You disagree? Leaving that building unsecured was not irresponsible? Would anyone be allowed in it for a presidential procession today? Not a chance.
@stddisclaimer8020 That's just not true. Today, the Secret Service sends advance teams that scope and secure every street and every site of opportunity prior to a presidential visit. They shutter and guard dozens of buildings when the president is part of an outdoor event and snipers are posted on rooftops that are meticulously selected based on possible vulnerabilities. This is what was so disturbing about what happened in Butler PA over the summer and why the SS was under such scrutiny and criticism. What happened is not supposed to happen. The service is expected to make a shot opportunity like that next to impossible. It's the protection standard. I get it that today's SS is a vastly different and more trained and staffed organization, based mostly on what happened in 1963 (and 1981...Reagan) but exonerating them saying there was just too much for them to cover in Dallas doesn't hold weight. Today, if they couldn't secure it, it would be scaled back until the risk was acceptable.
@@MrCrystalcraniumYes. “Today” being the key word. It was nothing for a president to ride in an open car and have open windows along a motorcade route in 1963. and earlier. Kennedy himself wanted no agents on the car, and that is consistent with other stops he made on that trip, as well as other trips during his presidency. Context and timing is important, your hindsight isn’t.
@@jetcat132 So after being exposed to the horrors of a world you say couldn't have existed in their most horrific of nightmares 2 days earlier, why had the the Dallas PD learned nothing and put LHO on public display...TWICE...at a midnight news conference and in front of dozens of reporters? In the aftermath of the President's murder, was that smart police procedure? Nobody should have been able to get anywhere close to Oswald.
I have just watched this inciteful documentary and tearfully remember what happened on that awful day. During his visit to Ireland, my late father and I travelled to Galway to see President Kennedy being bestowed with the Freedom of the City. I was only 9 years old at the time and, while watching this film, all the memories came flooding back. JFK had a deep love for Ireland and this was made very apparent when, in his farewell speech, he vowed to return to "this green and misty isle." Thank you for making this history available to view again. 🇺🇸🇮🇪
This was made back in 1964 ???? I have never seen this before ... The amount of behind the scenes footage in this vid is mind blowing ..... really amazing footage
No worries. It wasn't a conspiracy. No crime in history ever had so much evidence all pointing at one man. And if had been a conspiracy there would have had to been scores of people involved. The idea that not one would talk or leave a note in a safe deposit box addressed to the New York Times to be delivered on his death is too silly for serious discussion. Read Vincent Bugliosi's book "Reclaiming History." He obliterates the conspiracy nonsense.
I agree 100 percent. Linden Johnson was neither liked nor trusted by John Kennedy. Johnson had a favorite aunt, Jessie, an ardent Zionist who was a great influence on him when he was young. Shortly after taking office in the aftermath of John F. Kennedy's assassination in 1963, Johnson told an Israeli diplomat, "You have lost a very great friend, but you have found a better one."
This film strictly follows the rule of the lone nut theory. They made sure not to show Malcolm Kilduff pointing to his front right temple to show where the fatal bullet entered.
Interesting to see Nixon in this doc. During his time as President, his Attorney General, John Mitchell said Nixon mentioned at various times 'we don't want to open that Bay of Pigs thing'. Years later Mitchell was to muse 'I think he actually meant the JFK assassination'. So Mitchell thought he knew a lot more about 22 November.
Clear as day on the Zapruder film ...IMO. The last shot came from right front side...Never convince me that limmo driver grier was not in on the plot. Why did he not speed away after the 1st missed shot or even after the throat shot then comes to at least an slmtost stop for the last awful fatal shot..just look at limmo driver grier on the whole video from the turn on elm st to the last awful shot. Why he didn't speed away has big time suspicious actions IMO.....
The original limo driver, Tom Shipman, died from a heart attack while at Camp David, two weeks prior to the Texas trip. What a co-ink-kee-dink. Greer had actually driven for Roosevelt before.
Here's what is clear as day in the Zapruder film: Kennedy suffers a massive exit wound exploding at the right temple and nothing happening at the back of the head, both consistent only with a shot from behind. Philips is hilarious: yes, even Kennedy's original limo driver was murdered to aid the conspiracy and the coup... LOL
Yeah, seriously, like... every time I see this film, I'm left wondering... why the hell is the limo slowing down almost to a stop... but shoots off like a rocket almost the very second the deed is done and it's too late? There may be an innocent explanation for it, but my God it looks suspicious, every time.
The killer shot came from the grassy knoll opposite to from where Lee Harvey Oswald was staked out. noticed that there was more attached to this assassination than people realised. I wonder if the truth will ever come out. I am from South Africa and we in South Africa were shocked to the core

@@Spicy-y9z Anger issues and by virtue of your comment somewhat pedantic and/or having an unwillingness to admit that after you read the title, you thought about it, and you got it wrong. What else is the matter with you.
"Do everything to protect the President" You think leaving a wide open space near a large building with many windows is wise? How about having a detail protect the car he's in and not in a car behind? I mean Johnson was shielded like Fort Knox and there wasn't 1/100 of the threats hurled at Kennedy aimed towards him. Nobody watching the windows even though the whole route was advertised to Dallas days before.
At the JFK museum down on the cape, there's a bronze statue of JFK Jr. in that salute pose. For anyone who hasn't seen it, it was up on the second floor when we were there this past June.
I was 5 yo when JFK died: I do remember watching his funeral in TV but I was 10 when Bob got shot and I felt the loss though and I've carried fond memories of both brothers thoughout my life and always remember JFK on Nov 22sd, every year. They both inspired many generations
He was a President, and now we have a 'clown' elected by the American people back in the White House. These are dismal times for the country that I grew up in.
@@kayjohnson7351 He had 4 years and the senate, congress in his hands and all he did was serve the rich and pushed up the debt 6 trillion, insulted your allies, released Iran from the no nuc deal so now they are building bombs and lied to you, I could go on but no room.
I was 13 when this happened. We lived just outside D.C. in the Maryland suburbs. My parents talked about going to the capital to pass by the president’s casket but decided against it. I wish we had. I remember how all three networks went exclusively to round the clock coverage for those four days.
I remember the day of his assassinate well after hearing it announced by the BBC here in England I was 16 years of age only 11 days earlier on Armistice Day. It truly came as a shock to us all here in the UK at the time. Lest we forget.
@@TruthPortalsYes,from what I researched,President Kennedy did not want the people to know about his life being in danger and that also applies to the attempt in Miami.
It is possible, Aside from being a Very BAD President It's possible Johnson might've said that, 1960,s America Was So Different Than America Today, Just Look at the Terrible Job The Secret Service Did Guarding Kennedy, From What we,ve learned Nowadays. The Attempted Assassination On President Trump Is a Very Good Example of This. I Definitely Agree With President Trump, The Attempt On His Life Was Definitely Motivated by The Dem. party. I Hope This Country is Able to Eventually Dismantle That Party (Dem). For Everybody's sake. That party is Obviously Very Dangerous.
No nation felt the shock and the pain of the presidents death more so than here in Ireland, it was beyond comprehension he visited here in the summer of 63, nobody could foresee the tragedy that would unfold later that year, he, s still very much missed to this very day RIP mr president!!!
James Files was in Chicago during the assassination and when confronted with evidence he tried to pretend he was being confused with his own nonexistent twin brother. NBC cancelled their planned TV show on this lying clown after taking a closer look at him.
Incredibly sad knowing what's about to happen really makes this especially sad for Jackie as you can see the joy in her face these last few magical moments before tragedy struck change in hers and all of our destinies with the impending coup that immediately followed the tragic incident
To this day, we still reel over the sheer audacity of his assassination. Conspiracy theories or not, he was the President of the United States. The way he went out is still abhorred.

@@joesteedman8230 They were fine doing better than most. In 2024 I would not be crying for them. And Jackie was left very wealthy by Marrying Ari. Her children were also left the wealthiest of the Kennedy grandkids and eventually Caroline even more when her brother died
What sets this particular production apart is a unique look behind the scenes of the government apparatus at work in preparation for the transition.
For many years this was the one and only full-length documentary that you would see on TV about this event. Quite nostalgic. actually.
Except it has nothing to do with what occurred. The Conspiracy and cover up of JFK's Assassination has ruined every major Govt. Agency and the Media. This is what we have left. read it and weep for America and the world.
@@midnightteapot5633 It was great and I watched it many times younger. A great job was done on this, but another one I found in later years was one by National Geographic and even better with never seen footage that really covers the trip to Texas. I loved that one even more.
Those were the days my friend .I was born in early 61 and grew up in an era totally foreign to this abyss of disorder we live in today
I was also born in 1961 and grew up in Dallas. I was amazed how this year was Friday, November 22 and hardly anyone took notice of the anniversary of this event.
The fish rots from the head down and by '61 the rotting process had already started.
What are you talking about? “Disorder” was rampant in the ‘60s. JFK, Malcolm, MLK, RFK, Hampton, and state supported protests in the South and anti-war protests throughout the country. It was an era with so much disorder, the mayor of Chicago noted during the 1968 Democratic national convention, “Police are not here to create disorder. Police are here to preserve disorder.”
@Rick-zw7zv that right Rick u are absolutely right.
@Rick-zw7zv many believe the so called "greatest generation",gave birth to the generation of free love ,the drug culture,hippies women's lib,ect.From order to disorder and it's not gonna get better by the loos of things
I remember the day well. I was in the first grade and we heard the news on the radio. I remember all the teachers crying. We students weren’t told anything, we found out when we got home. My parents had not voted for him, but my mother still cried. I’ve often wondered how this day formed how I grew up.
I was in the 5th grade and the principal made the announcement over the PA system. School was dismissed at lunch for the day. Watched the news all that night.
I was in first grade also, pretty much the same thing in my school. I remember I was totally amazed by the funeral procession and all the people paying respect in the capital rotunda. At that time I didn’t know that many people existed.
@@maxon-m3c Was in third grade in Detroit sent us home early and walked home, back when a third grader could walk home alone in Detroit.
I was in the first grade as well. I remember the funeral procession very well.
On that day, I was in the 3rd grade. I was age 9. Our class was to give the school priciple a patrotic history presentation of the American revolutionary war. It was during lunch break that I was going to borrow a 3 cornered hat from a friend of my mother. A woman came out of her house in a state of shock and despair and was shouting to the children that the President had been shot. Our presentation after lunch was cut short when it was announced that President Kennedy was dead. Teachers were in tears. It was an overcast day in the Chicago area. I just happened to be watching TV days later and witnessed in real time, Jack Ruby shooting Lee Harvy Oswald. Not such a good thing for a kid to see.
To think I last saw this on TV at age 10. I’m now age 70.

Richard Basehardt does a very good job of expressing what occurred during this horrific,sad period of time in American history.
61 years and still the narrative persists. This is a very well-produced piece of historic footage interpersed with truth, lies and myths, somewhat similar to TV news today. Never forget the Zapruder film was supressed for years and was missing frames from it when it was finally returned to the family.
@stddisclaimer8020 Don't forget the trajectory of the Magic Bullet..
Which resulted in a Senate Seat for a Present vote in an impeachment vote. Abtstain/ unconvinced.
@stddisclaimer8020 Abraham was " respectfully" paid $150k for his 26 seconds of film, by Life Magazine, who's owner ironically had worked for the CIA. Life showed mountains of respect for the Kennedy family, by printing enlarged, splattered with red, photographs in their December issue. Merry Christmas, Kennedy Family! In August of 1999, almost 30 yrs after Abe passed away from stomach cancer, it was like Christmas for
the Zapruder family, as they were awarded $16M, courtesy of the U.S. taxpayers, for the use or " misuse" of Daddy's film.
I hear Zapruder was involved and knew it was going to happen. Just watched a documentary from a man who knew a lot about it and worked for the CIA
@@plasticdadaii8225 Single bullet theory makes perfect sense and is backed up by hard evidence.

The worst thing JFK did was give us LBJ. I think Kennedy hated LBJ but needed him to win Texas.
Hey Hey LBJ how many kids did yoi kill today.
He was coerced into picking him; Kennedy wanted Symington
Jack didn't hate Lyndon..it was Bobby and Lyndon who never got along! I've studied about this time period and have studied both sides of the assassination!
I read or heard that JFK was going to remove the troops from Vietnam by 1965.

Thank You for giving us this momento !!
Whenever I see historical footage of JFK, Malcolm X, MLK Jr, and RFK; it just blows my mind that I’m older now, at 52, than when these people were when they were all killed 😢🤬. All because these men saw America could be better than what it was (maybe still) during their lives
Don't lump Malcolm X in with those three men. X was a murderer and a racist.
I seen this documentary the first time . I never thought I’d see it again. This one really hit me hard to see it .
61yrs later,the people have come to realise,the evil that stalks the corridors, of your,so called Democracy, God Bless JFK, MLK, RFK and Malcolm X❤ from England 🇬🇧
We turned over throws coup de tas assassination into an art form via the CIA and Mafia. It gets worse: John and Robert Kennedy tried to kill Castro trying to stir up an “internal” coup but the Mafia infiltrated the plan and the CIA and FBI didn’t warn the Kennedy brothers that the CIA was still using the Mafia and then the intelligence community was blackmailed by the mob and threatened to leak the coup plot out if the U.S. government pointed there finger in the Mafia’s direction. Most of the evil has been committed by those on the Right.
Thank you
Don't lump Malcolm X in with those three men. X was a murderer and a racist.
It is interesting in this documentary about the horrific event that took place in Dallas, no one can ever say that the Late President and the First Lady was snobbish, rude or arrogant. They shook hands with many people during the trip to Texas! That tells you everything you need to know about him and his wife! Especially for someone who did not have great health! He could have been in a bad mood, but he did not let that interfere with his duties as President! This is never talked about when talking about the Late President.
Wise,kind,thoughtful words,thank you,for sharing. I,agree with all that you stated.
❤ESCARGENCY RESEARCH TEMPUS OMNIUS REVELATHE ❤
@@NancySanders-om4ic And no one can ever say that Jackie Kennedy didn't risk her own life who didn't cower in her seat because she couldn't have known she could have very well been in the shooters sights next but she was laser-focused on only one thing and that was crawling onto the trunk of the moving vehicle in order to retrieve part of her husband's head to try and save his life. The poor woman!
I was 9 years old the day after the assassination. I remember it clearly. He was our President and it was a horrible death.
I watched this on A&E April 1994. I'll never forget it was a gray rainy week and I watched this presentation on a rainy Saturday. I was only 14 and back in those days things of the past were very intriguing to me.
Jackie died a month after that. Hardly mentioned in the news.
42:47 So here you can see what a clear view this supposed sniper's nest has of Houston Street, where you'd be watching President Kennedy coming slowly *directly toward you.* Seems to me THIS is when a lone assassin would take his shot, or at least START shooting, if he really were alone and wanted his best chance to succeed. Why, then, wait for the motorcade to round onto Elm Street and begin moving AWAY from you, vanishing behind trees and signs, UNLESS the plan was to wait until the President was in the midst of a pre-arranged crossfire in which you are not the primary shooter but rather the backup? And why did the shot(s) that hit Kennedy and Connolly not explode but pass fairly cleanly through their bodies, while the final bullet-supposedly the same ammo from the same rifle-literally *_explodes_* on contact? It's very clear to me the shot that killed the President came from the right front and was a frangible bullet. Dum-dum; hollow point; call it what you like. It's hard for me to believe people can convince themselves there was only one guy, the shots all came from the rear, and all the ammunition was of the same type and came from the same weapon.
Hey, Columbo, Oswald shooting at the limo while it was still on Houston means it would accelerate and zoom past him, leaving him a sitting ducking duck for the Secret Service agents behind who would immediately know exactly where the shooter was.
Oswald was mad but he wasn't stupid.
As for the bullets, the bullet recovered from the stretcher is badly crushed at the nose and flattened down one side, consistent with going through Kennedy without hitting bone, slowing and tumbling on leaving him, then broadsiding its way through Connally's ribs, as medical and forensic evidence clearly demonstrate.
The last bullet smashed directly into skull and exploded on contact.
ALL bullets and fragments ever found were matched to Oswald's rifle.
Witnesses directly under the sixth floor window firmly said the shots all came from directly overhead.
Those witnesses had a clear view behind the knoll fence and would plainly have seen any gunman there.
@@aaronz7056oh Aaron, just go away
@@barbarawinsor5306 I just explained why it would have demonstrably have made no sense to fire on the limo while it was still on Houston, and I just explained the ballistics question by using hard, credible, demonstrable and documented evidence, you have a problem with that?

I was in fifth grade when President Kennedy was assassinated. In 1960, I met Senator Kennedy. I was seven years old. I still remember him. His smile mostly. He talked to my dad for a few minutes, and they shook hands. And then he moved on where a photo was taken. My dad was in the background of that photo. I have a copy of it. Its a reminder of the day I got to meet a future president.
If you could post that somewhere, I think it'd be cool to see it.
JFK assassination, one of the most earth-shaking events in world history. The day when the whole world suddenly stood stilll in shock, horror, dismay and silence.
I’m only giving this vid a thumbs up because it’s important to know more.
Let the algorithm take its course.
Watching this 61 years later and remembering the experience of an 11 year old boy, I remained glued day and night in front of a portable black and white TV. It was the finality of the solemn cortège and unforgettable rhythm of the drums that released me from the unreality of what happened. My 11 year old boy returned on 9/11 to remind me this too will pass and I can live through it.😢
Excellent documentary and very detailed. I was 3 years old when John Kennedy was assassinated but I remember this. My mom was so upset and crying.
This is one of my favorite documentaries on jfk.
On 10/12/62, 13 mo.'s before the assassination, at age 16, I saw both John & Jackie
Kennedy, in the same Lincoln Continental that he would die in (found that out later), when
they unexpectedly appeared before the Columbus Day Parade, NYC!/ In Oct. 1966, Jackie
called my workplace, ( A.J.Taylor & Co.) to buy a hat for Caroline & even after 3 yrs., I was
still so overwhelmed, hearing her voice, that I let another take the order! R.I.P. John & Jackie!
I was 4 years old at the time. The day of his assassination and the day of his funeral were two of the only three days I ever saw my mother cry in her life.
The last " white hat" passed away in May. So, let's see some documents!
RFK Jr knows the truth about his uncle's and his father's assassinations. It will all be revealed within the next four years.
My mother watched the news on TV when she was expecting me-a high five to the cameraperson for catching all this history. I just read that the cowboy hat and Mrs. Kennedy’s hat disappeared, and I found nothing regarding the boots.
My mom was 7 months pregnant with me when this happened. A month earlier, my dad's father had died suddenly of a stroke, and when my dad called to tell her the news, the first thing he said was "Alice, are you sitting down?" On this day it was my dad's sister (my aunt) who called Mom and immediately said "Are you sitting down?" Mom thought it was bad news about my dad's mother (who was in ill health) but my aunt told her to turn on the TV because President Kennedy had been shot.
@ I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather. My mother probably was also 7 months since I was born two months later.
oswald was just a patsy he was not involved it was backstabber LBJ and otehrs who had kennedy assainated!!
Before you rewrite history, learn to spell
SO VERY TRUE
Oswald, alone, shot and killed President Kennedy.
@CharlesBallard-f3t that was just a mistep of the fingers, I believe. No harm done to anyone.
In that case I look forward to you now explaining how "LBJ and others" framing your innocent Oswald could possibly have known:
- he would show up unexpectedly at the Paine house Nov. 21, otherwise they can't pretend he smuggled the rifle Nov. 22
- he wouldn't simply stand out on the sidewalk during the parade
- nobody would ever find any bullets or fragments that don't match to his rifle
- no unidentified persons would ever be seen in the building by anybody
- he would immediately leave the crime scene
- he was guaranteed to go specifically to Oak Cliff
- he owned a revolver at all
- he would decide at the last minute to put a jacket on at all
- an imposter who looks so much like him he is guaranteed to fool the nearly dozen witnesses who ID Oswald needs to be hanging around 10th and Patton
- a cop will be driving through there at exactly the right moment to plausibly place Oswald at the crime scene
- the imposter can be certain Oswald is still at liberty, has no alibi, and is in the neighbourhood
- the cop won't simply outdraw and capture the imposter, blowing the whole plot
- no other cop will capture the imposter, blowing the whole plot
- a shoe store clerk will happen to have his radio on, hear the APB on the assassination suspect, and notice Oswald trying to hide from passing cops in his doorway
- Oswald will get caught red-handed trying to shoot a second cop
- he will fight police so violently 3 officers will be injured just disarming him
- he will observe, "Well, they say it only takes a minute to die" after asking about the penalty for cop-killing
- he will lie to police about his whereabouts during the assassination
- he will refuse to cooperate with any investigator
- he will turn down help from the President of the Dallas Bar Association
- he will only be interested in a lawyer he'd never met living in another state who specialized in left-wing causes
- he will insist on acting so smug he will even convince his own brother he is guilty
- he will make no attempt to blow any conspiracy framing him to anybody
- he will just shrug a hollow, rambling reply when asked on live TV, "Did you shoot the President?"
- the Dallas PD will be on board for the successful escape from justice of the "real killers" of a decorated brother officer with a wife and 3 children
- they are guaranteed to safely approach scores of witnesses, police, FBI, Secret Service, military personnel, doctors, pathologists, ballistics experts, Oswald family members, whole commissions, the D.A., the Chief Justice, etc., and persuade them all to obey illegal orders to commit crimes, assist a bloody coup, and bend over backwards making themselves all eternally loyal accessories to murder and treason...
Thanks in advance for clearing all this up.
The only thing I didn't like about this is that whomever produced this particular version of this documentary added music to the original soundtrack in certain spots, altering and ruining the beauty of the original soundtrack. They also took great liberties at removing the original "Taps" at the end of the film. The horn player made a mistake as he played, which should never have been changed.
Also, the scratchy recording of LBJ taking the oath of office has been cut from this version.
@@Gort58 Thanks for pointing this out. Its such a shame that people take it upon themselves to ruin a film by taking it upon themselves to edit a piece of history such as this.
I thought the same thing... they dubbed Taps.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for this video!! I was 7 years old when this happened and remembering watching the funeral. I sat in front of the TV for days, it seems. I remember feeling sad. Today, it's all making sense.

the JFK assassination is one of the greatest mysteries of the 20th century
No longer a mystery it’s a fact who and why Kennedy was murdered

And HOW, exactly, do you safely approach the CIA, FBI, Secret Service, Dallas PD, "organized crime," etc., and persuade them all to trust each other implicitly, obey illegal orders, assist a bloody coup, and bend over backwards making themselves all eternally loyal accessories to murder and treason...?
Bingo!!!
Yes Jerry. Hundreds of people involved, all coordinating to execute the same script, yet not one has come forward and no evidence of this exists anywhere.
And just HOW, exactly, do you safely approach all of these people and persuade them all to obey illegal orders and bend over backwards making themselves all eternally loyal accessories to murder and treason?
Jerry, you left out the Girl Scouts and Emory Board Manufacturers Association!

@Michaelrowedtheboatashore using the top makes it easier to target your prey or harder? Oh that's right, you voted Trump. Lol the top would've changed everything
When Johnson was leaving in the helicopter the sound track was screwed up. I’ve worked on the type. It was a turboshaft not a piston engine. It was a good documentary.
We still have to wonder if the truth was told .
You mean, " will be told". Right?😉
It wasn’t
Publishing the presidential motorcade was the biggest mistake ever.
It was a goodwill tour, Kennedy wanted to be seen by the people, that was the whole point of the trip.
@@aaronz7056No, that's what they want you to believe, there were many threats on the president life. The secret service should have done a better job. Every thing has been done for this asassination to occur.
I am 67. I was in the 1st grade and must have been home sick that day. (Actually didnt want to go to school but stay home with Mommy instead) I do remember the interruption of 'As the World Turns' and Walter Cronkite announcing the President's death. More than anything, I remember the lying in state and the funeral. The chilling flag draped coffin, the black horse with the backward boots, the shock and sadnesses. As time continues, I realized most people younger than me have no direct experience or recollection of this event. Now it us the stuff of film, history and books.
I am nearing 66 and I too remember the4 funeral procession. Everyone was upset around me and I felt scared. I asked Mom for my chocolate milk in a bottle. While sucking on the bottle, the Milkman arrived and I quickly held the bottle behind my back in shame. But, alas, I can't remember what I ate yesterday.
I was 11years old. I remember that day where I was how I heard the news how I felt. It was a very long hard weekend. Then decades later finding out the truth of this heinous act. We will finally hear the whole truth next year. It will be hard to believe how evil our government was that day and even far worse now. But GOD
We were so naive. Now that we know who did this, and why, it is difficult to watch.
Agree. It reminds me of our innocence in those days, believing the media news, thinking leaders had the interests of the people, respect for others, behavior in public was polite, language was restrained, people cared about faith and family. My eyes are opened now, and it’s a harsher world controlled by evil people.
Time. I would imagine many of the young men firing the cannons in the opening scene are 80+ or gone on.
What we know is that all credible evidence still points right at Oswald.
@aaronz7056 I've often said that. I wasn't born, but of course I've heard this all my life. NO HUMAN BEING COULD KEEP A SECRET FOR THIS LONG. The overwhelming majority of any participants and conspirators would be dead by now. Hell, even Deep Throat confessed near the end! 😆
@@kimjohnson8471 Well, Deep Throat merely came forward and revealed his true identity, he wasn't being a criminal. However, yes, according to the collective claims of conspiracy theorists, about 200 people were safely approached and persuaded to trust each other implicitly and bend over backwards making themselves all eternally loyal accessories to murder and treason...
They often ask, do you remember where you were when....... I was just 6 at the time. In grade 1 at a country school here in Canada not far from Detroit. I remember the principal coming into the classroom to tell us of the news. It was a 2 mile walk home along a usually busy road. There was hardly any traffic. Once home, dad was unusually in from the field watching the news on the RCA black and white. Truly a very dark day for a nation, for the world. What's happening in the world today absolutely terrifies me. So much violence. You would never see a 6 yr old walking alone on any street.
A very good documentary as per the Warren Commission report. We have learned a lot since then. Oswald was a patsy, he even said so while being hustled through the halls of the Dallas Police HQ. He probably fired only two shots but left 3 spent cartridges on the floor. Another shooter was at the grassy knoll who took the "kill shot". Jack Ruby's job was to kill Oswald. Ruby was already slowly dying of cancer and, while in prison only gave one interview... to Dorothy Kilgallen. She died shortly after the interview in November 1965 of very suspicsuious circumstances. Who could have organized such an elaborate conspiracy? TheMafia or the CIA or both. Take your pick.
A single individual decided to eliminate JFK - after 61 years they still insist it was a job done by a single killer?
No way - it was conspiracy! Inside job - no doubt about it!
a) And just HOW, exactly, does "the Mafia or the CIA" safely approach scores and scores of witnesses, police, FBI, Secret Service, military personnel, pathologists, ballistics experts, whole commissions, lawyers, senators, congressmen, the D.A., the Chief Justice, etc., and persuade them all to obey illegal orders and bend over backwards making themselves all eternally loyal accessories to murder and treason...?
b) If you could have been bothered to watch the entire clip Oswald only says he is a patsy in relation to being hassled by cops for having lived in Russia, and in fact he never attempted to blow any conspiracy framing him to any cop, any member of his family, or to a live TV audience of millions.
c) Oswald, needless to say, fired 3 shots, as backed up by victims' reactions in Zapruder's film and by most credible witnesses.
d) Witnesses directly under the sixth floor window firmly said the shots all came from directly overhead, they had a clear view behind the knoll fence and would plainly have seen any gunman there.
e) Funny how nobody ever explains why, if Ruby was obeying orders to go on a suicide mission anyway, the bad guys didn't just have HIM stand out on the sidewalk during the parade and assassinate Kennedy himself.
f) Kilgallen's exchanges with Ruby were in court during his public trial where he could have come forward with any public statement he cared to make.
Her reporting was only going to be part of a much larger book on other trials she had covered she wasn't planning on publishing for months, hardly an urgent expose.
If she possessed any info that was going to blow any conspiracy and save the country, she was sure in no hurry to do anything with any of it.
Her O.D. was investigated by the police and the HSCA, neither of whom found any evidence of foul play.
LBJ responsible disgusting behavior
I asked my mom about JFK death and she started to cry many years later. Everyone I asked still are heart broken. Ask not what your nation can do for you, but you can do for your nation.
He said "country", not "nation".
My parents had the book Four Days. It was very moving
I still have mine.
It's not exactly in mint condition.
@rentslave Oh that's cool!
I was only 14 years old then and english but we felt deeply for JFK such a terrible thing that a stupid idiot did such a terrible thing how could that happen God bless America !
Idiot(s). Plural.
Oswald didn't shoot anyone that day
Of course not, he merely owned and smuggled the rifle, left his latent print on it, lied to police about his whereabouts, fled the crime scene, shot a cop, was caught trying to shoot a second cop, refused to cooperate, even convinced his own brother he was guilty, never attempted to blow any conspiracy framing him, and just shrugged a hollow, rambling reply when asked on live TV, "Did you shoot the President?"
I believe that he was part of a larger conspiracy, but he himself was involved.
@jasonrusso7 he was part of the CIA and FBI, that's been found in letters, I think they set him up. Just like he said I am a patsy .
@@jasonrusso7 All credible evidence still points to Oswald and Oswald alone.
@@aaronz7056 I think you need to look at the evidence that came out after this film.
Four days in November 1963. Interesting…🤔
November 22 1963 was the day the Nazis took over.
At 50:36 The tall young man on the right in the dark shirt with his arms crossed is believed to be the future star Meat Loaf, whose name was Marvin Lee Aday. His father was a Dallas Police officer who the singer said in interviews was assigned to guard the outside of Parkland Hospital after the shooting. He said he went there to be near his father, and he said he is visible there in this scene. It certainly looks like him. Aday was 16 then.
I’ll never forget that day … I was 12 years old. In the 7th grade. We were sent home earlier than usual and it was all over the tv news. All other programming was cancelled the entire weekend! My family had 9 children and our first tv set ever. I was glued to the screen! I saw Ruby kill Oswald on Sunday. The first murder ever on live tv I was told! Anyway the sadness was contagious among so many. 😢
The Secret Service should not have let the President ride in a convertible .
IT WAS ALL SET UP TO GET HIS HEAD.
How the Dallas police and the Secret Service let this happen is the most appalling aspect of the assassination. You could have not picked a better sniper position than the 6th floor of the TSBD. Why wasn't that and other buildings shuttered and secured? I've listened to so many 11/22/1963 broadcasts praising the police for their security measures that were unparalleled in Dallas' history. The fact is they did little securing. What they did was a big, strutting show of force that was setup to react, not prevent. "You try anything, we'll shoot you." A dedicated assassin isn't going to be intimidated from their goal by that stupidity. They learned nothing as proven 2 days later Oswald was murdered literally in their hands. In the aftermath, police were saying they searched closets and car trunks. Hoping to find what? An assassin hiding in a trunk? Morons.
@stddisclaimer8020 You disagree? Leaving that building unsecured was not irresponsible? Would anyone be allowed in it for a presidential procession today? Not a chance.
@stddisclaimer8020 That's just not true. Today, the Secret Service sends advance teams that scope and secure every street and every site of opportunity prior to a presidential visit. They shutter and guard dozens of buildings when the president is part of an outdoor event and snipers are posted on rooftops that are meticulously selected based on possible vulnerabilities. This is what was so disturbing about what happened in Butler PA over the summer and why the SS was under such scrutiny and criticism. What happened is not supposed to happen. The service is expected to make a shot opportunity like that next to impossible. It's the protection standard. I get it that today's SS is a vastly different and more trained and staffed organization, based mostly on what happened in 1963 (and 1981...Reagan) but exonerating them saying there was just too much for them to cover in Dallas doesn't hold weight. Today, if they couldn't secure it, it would be scaled back until the risk was acceptable.
@@MrCrystalcraniumYes. “Today” being the key word.
It was nothing for a president to ride in an open car and have open windows along a motorcade route in 1963. and earlier. Kennedy himself wanted no agents on the car, and that is consistent with other stops he made on that trip, as well as other trips during his presidency.
Context and timing is important, your hindsight isn’t.
@@jetcat132 So after being exposed to the horrors of a world you say couldn't have existed in their most horrific of nightmares 2 days earlier, why had the the Dallas PD learned nothing and put LHO on public display...TWICE...at a midnight news conference and in front of dozens of reporters? In the aftermath of the President's murder, was that smart police procedure? Nobody should have been able to get anywhere close to Oswald.
I have just watched this inciteful documentary and tearfully remember what happened on that awful day.
During his visit to Ireland, my late father and I travelled to Galway to see President Kennedy being bestowed with the Freedom of the City. I was only 9 years old at the time and, while watching this film, all the memories came flooding back. JFK had a deep love for Ireland and this was made very apparent when, in his farewell speech, he vowed to return to "this green and misty isle."
Thank you for making this history available to view again. 🇺🇸🇮🇪
With the benefit of time the official story is about as believable as the Juicy Smollet yarn.
This was made back in 1964 ???? I have never seen this before ... The amount of behind the scenes footage in this vid is mind blowing ..... really amazing footage
Originally, there were 3 Magic bullets. 2 of them disappeared, like Magic.
Amazing footage! Thank you for sharing. Takes me right back to the time. I was 7 years old when John was shot and I remember it all😢.
Awesome atty general his brother
This documentary doesn't even mention RFK by name. smh
If it was a conspiracy and Oswald wasn't a lone gun Man? There's no way Linden Johnson wasn't involved! No way!
No worries. It wasn't a conspiracy. No crime in history ever had so much evidence all pointing at one man. And if had been a conspiracy there would have had to been scores of people involved. The idea that not one would talk or leave a note in a safe deposit box addressed to the New York Times to be delivered on his death is too silly for serious discussion. Read Vincent Bugliosi's book "Reclaiming History." He obliterates the conspiracy nonsense.
You're dead wrong if you really believe that.
Then why didn’t he run for a second term.
I agree 100 percent. Linden Johnson was neither liked nor trusted by John Kennedy. Johnson had a favorite aunt, Jessie, an ardent Zionist who was a great influence on him when he was young. Shortly after taking office in the aftermath of John F. Kennedy's assassination in 1963, Johnson told an Israeli diplomat, "You have lost a very great friend, but you have found a better one."
His buddy owned the building where Oswald worked. And, it's the same man who headed up the Civil Air Patrol, where a very young Oswald, was a member.
This film strictly follows the rule of the lone nut theory. They made sure not to show Malcolm Kilduff pointing to his front right temple to show where the fatal bullet entered.
As if the security checks did any good!
😢😢😢 I remember
Interesting to see Nixon in this doc. During his time as President, his Attorney General, John Mitchell said Nixon mentioned at various times 'we don't want to open that Bay of Pigs thing'. Years later Mitchell was to muse 'I think he actually meant the JFK assassination'. So Mitchell thought he knew a lot more about 22 November.
Clear as day on the Zapruder film ...IMO. The last shot came from right front side...Never convince me that limmo driver grier was not in on the plot. Why did he not speed away after the 1st missed shot or even after the throat shot then comes to at least an slmtost stop for the last awful fatal shot..just look at limmo driver grier on the whole video from the turn on elm st to the last awful shot. Why he didn't speed away has big time suspicious actions IMO.....
The original limo driver, Tom Shipman, died from a heart attack while at Camp David, two weeks prior to the Texas trip.
What a co-ink-kee-dink. Greer had actually driven for Roosevelt before.
Here's what is clear as day in the Zapruder film: Kennedy suffers a massive exit wound exploding at the right temple and nothing happening at the back of the head, both consistent only with a shot from behind.
Philips is hilarious: yes, even Kennedy's original limo driver was murdered to aid the conspiracy and the coup... LOL
Yeah, seriously, like... every time I see this film, I'm left wondering... why the hell is the limo slowing down almost to a stop... but shoots off like a rocket almost the very second the deed is done and it's too late? There may be an innocent explanation for it, but my God it looks suspicious, every time.
The killer shot came from the grassy knoll opposite to from where Lee Harvey Oswald was staked out. noticed that there was more attached to this assassination than people realised. I wonder if the truth will ever come out. I am from South Africa and we in South Africa were shocked to the core

That occurred in November 1963
And? 1964 was the release date for this documentary, as pointed out in the description.
@midnight. THEN!
The year 1964 should have been at the very END OF THE TITLE.
A HOL!
@@Spicy-y9z Anger issues and by virtue of your comment somewhat pedantic and/or having an unwillingness to admit that after you read the title, you thought about it, and you got it wrong. What else is the matter with you.
I think the narrator is Richard basehart. I am a big fan of voyage to the bottom of the sea
Says it right in the beginning credits. You have a good ear!
29:45 LBJ looking at JFK as if he were dead meat.
I only watched up until LHO was mentioned. He did not shoot the president. This must be a Warren Commission film. I'm moving on.
This plays like an old school “Newsreel” that you would see in movie theaters…oddly fascinating
"Do everything to protect the President"
You think leaving a wide open space near a large building with many windows is wise? How about having a detail protect the car he's in and not in a car behind? I mean Johnson was shielded like Fort Knox and there wasn't 1/100 of the threats hurled at Kennedy aimed towards him.
Nobody watching the windows even though the whole route was advertised to Dallas days before.
I was 9 years old and remember it because it was the very first time I saw my Mother and Father Crying...
Born 1950, this Boomer witnessed too many assignations : John & Bobby, Malcolm & Martin
At the JFK museum down on the cape, there's a bronze statue of JFK Jr. in that salute pose. For anyone who hasn't seen it, it was up on the second floor when we were there this past June.
I was 5 yo when JFK died: I do remember watching his funeral in TV but I was 10 when Bob got shot and I felt the loss though and I've carried fond memories of both brothers thoughout my life and always remember JFK on Nov 22sd, every year. They both inspired many generations
This still makes me so sick, it should never have happened. I still ask why after all these years. Such a loss. This changed our future.
He was a President, and now we have a 'clown' elected by the American people back in the White House. These are dismal times for the country that I grew up in.
He will be the best President of your lifetime. You will soon come to know that.
@@kayjohnson7351 how? what will he do? what will be better?
@@kayjohnson7351 He had 4 years and the senate, congress in his hands and all he did was serve the rich and pushed up the debt 6 trillion, insulted your allies, released Iran from the no nuc deal so now they are building bombs and lied to you, I could go on but no room.
Elected is a relative term.
@@kayjohnson7351you poor naive thing
I was 13 when this happened. We lived just outside D.C. in the Maryland suburbs. My parents talked about going to the capital to pass by the president’s casket but decided against it. I wish we had. I remember how all three networks went exclusively to round the clock coverage for those four days.
What a story!
I remember the day of his assassinate well after hearing it announced by the BBC here in England I was 16 years of age only 11 days earlier on Armistice Day. It truly came as a shock to us all here in the UK at the time. Lest we forget.
12:15 this little safety stand down speech is rather ironic in hindsight.
47:25 how could they have this description of height and build from seeing a shooter through a window on the sixth floor?
1:40:55 is that little Jon Jon behind his mother? 💔
No mention of canceled Chicago
That's because it's BS
The official story is indeed correct.
@@randyharris3175No,is Not.
We didn't learn the Chicago story until much later.
@@TruthPortalsYes,from what I researched,President Kennedy did not want the people to know about his life being in danger and that also applies to the attempt in Miami.
I’ve always believed that Lyndon Johnson was responsible for it.
Look up, what did LBJ say to his mistress the night before the JFK assassination. ❤
What did he say?!??
The Kennedys will never humiliate me again. e@@ashleybellewchambers9565
Nothing that didn't happen. Johnson would have been the dumbest person on the face of the earth goodness you don't nelieve that croc do you?
@ well after reading what the mistress claimed it wouldn’t surprise me.
It is possible, Aside from being a Very BAD President It's possible Johnson might've said that,
1960,s America Was So Different Than America Today, Just Look at the Terrible Job The Secret Service Did Guarding Kennedy, From What we,ve learned Nowadays.
The Attempted Assassination On President Trump Is a Very Good Example of This.
I Definitely Agree With President Trump, The Attempt On His Life Was Definitely Motivated by The Dem. party.
I Hope This Country is Able to Eventually Dismantle That Party (Dem). For Everybody's sake.
That party is Obviously Very Dangerous.
LBJ was "thrust into power". Sadly LBJ thrusted himself into that power! RIP JFK ❤
We look forward to you now presenting your ironclad evidence, of course.
@ Sure. No problem. When you see the ironclad evidence for yourself then what?
@@LisaMarie-ln1vp No, seriously, we look forward to you now presenting your ironclad evidence, of course.
@@LisaMarie-ln1vphopefully Mr know-it-all Aaron will shut up.
No nation felt the shock and the pain of the presidents death more so than here in Ireland, it was beyond comprehension he visited here in the summer of 63, nobody could foresee the tragedy that would unfold later that year, he, s still very much missed to this very day RIP mr president!!!
Never understood how Oswald paraded wating for bullet
John and Jacqueline Kennedy had just lost their baby boy on August 9 of that year. I cant even imagine her agony, losing them both. 😢
Nice old footage... too bad they put all the fake Blame on Oswald though he didn't act alone... the Jim files interview is one to watch
James Files was in Chicago during the assassination and when confronted with evidence he tried to pretend he was being confused with his own nonexistent twin brother. NBC cancelled their planned TV show on this lying clown after taking a closer look at him.
That the Feds had tried to talk with Lee Harvey Oswald before the assassination but gave up after not finding him at home... that's gotta sting.
I wish they included the dispute between the Dallas Corner and Secret Service
Incredibly sad knowing what's about to happen really makes this especially sad for Jackie as you can see the joy in her face these last few magical moments before tragedy struck change in hers and all of our destinies with the impending coup that immediately followed the tragic incident
Always wondered why the building wasn't searched and cleared right before the motorcade...
You expect the Secret Service to "search and clear" every building in Dallas? They didn't have 10, 000 agents handy, you know.
