I was in Mrs. Service's Science class, when unexpectedly the Principle, Mr. Hamburg came in unannounced with a radio. Pluged it in and walked out. He was crying and this shocked everyone into frozen silence. The radio was broadcasting the shooting - and an hour or so later the death of JFK. For that hour there was no class and no movement in the class. Then we were let go for the day. I went home and spent the next week or so in front of the TV crying with my parents. We were crushed. When two days later we saw LHO shot by JR it all became clear to me that it was a conspiracy - although it took years for the details and motives; as well as many of the other players to come into clear focus. It was the beginning of the end of my belief in the American Mythology and IMO the beginning of the end of America - which has enraveled steadily since. It had before that day, but not in so blatant a manner - nor so clearly and with such force. For me personally, I was radicalized, saddened deeply, and set-out on a decades-long quest to understand the details. 911 and all in between couldn't have happened if those who 'pulled-off' the coup d'etat on 11/22/63 had been brought to justice. Quite the opposite happened, and those who were behind the crime grew in power and committed many more. The last one they commited was the banking bailout.....so 11/22/63 is as current as today....and tomorrow.
