The assassination of President John F. Kennedy lingers as one of the most traumatic events of the twentieth century. The open and shut nature of the investigation which ensued left many global citizens unsettled and dissatisfied, and nagging questions concerning the truth behind the events of that fateful day remain to this day. Evidence of this can be found in the endless volumes of conspiracy-based materials which have attempted to unravel and capitalize on the greatest murder mystery in American history. Now, a hugely ambitious documentary titled Everything is a Rich Man's Trick adds fuel to those embers of uncertainty, and points to many potential culprits whose possible involvement in the assassination has long been obscured by official historical record. Authoritatively written and narrated by Francis Richard Conolly, the film begins its labyrinthine tale during the era of World War I, when the wealthiest and most powerful figures of industry discovered the immense profits to be had from a landscape of ongoing military conflict. The film presents a persuasive and exhaustively researched argument that these towering figures formed a secret society by which they could orchestrate or manipulate war-mongering policies to their advantage on a global scale, and maintain complete anonymity in their actions from an unsuspecting public. Conolly contends that these sinister puppet masters have functioned and thrived throughout history - from the formation of Nazism to the build-up and aftermath of September 11. The election of President Kennedy in 1960 represented a formidable threat to these shadowy structures of power, including high-profile figures within the Mafia, crooked politicians, and the world's most influential and notorious war profiteers. Thus, a plot was hatched which would end Kennedy's reign prior to any chance of re-election, thereby restoring the order and freedoms of these secret societies. At nearly three and a half hours, Everything is a Rich Man's Trick examines a defining event of our times from a perspective not often explored. While it may or may not win over viewers who remain skeptical of mass-scale conspiracy, it presents its findings in a measured and meticulous manner which demands attention and consideration. Review of JFK to 9/11: Everything is a Rich Man’s Trick If you really want to get to the bottom of the Kennedy assassination conspiracy, watch the 3.5 hour blockbuster, JFK to 911: Everything is a Rich Man’s Trick. I found it at once disturbing, enlightening, revolutionary, and full of common sense. It traces the history of the Dulleses who wrote the Treaty of Versailles; and the Bushes who played a hand in Hitler’s rise, JFK’s murder, and the WTC collapse. The film doesn’t shy away from the Mafia connection with the CIA, so obvious in the Kennedy plot, the Bay of Pigs, and Iran–Contra. We begin to see the US military connection in Central America, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, as an enforcement arm of the corporations. We begin to appreciate the pervasive influence of the propaganda machine, and the permanent war economy, which fulfills the dual strategy of siphoning capital upward so the rich can retain their status as having more than the rest, since the rest are always having to support the war machine. Thus the public are given false enemies time and again, as the only rationale they can buy for continuing the status quo, meanwhile unconsciously consuming and being entertained, the old Caesar’s trick of bread and circuses; and subject to increasing surveillance, again under the guise of protection from enemies, but ironically because the population itself is the real enemy of the ruling elite. The military is ultimately, we see now, a policing mechanism, used everywhere to protect or seize for the interests of the rich, at the expense of the poor. And the solution, according to the film’s conclusion, is “revolution.” Not of the bloody Bolshevik variety, of course, which so horrified the bluebloods of the early twentieth century. Of course in that case the Leninists simply created a new class of wealthy elite, bureaucrats, nouveau riche. Rather, the brand of revolution this film advocates is the peaceful variety. We are enjoined by the British narrator/producer to “march on Washington” in the style of Martin Luther King or Occupy. But under what leadership now, to stand vulnerable to the Mafia guns of the establishment? And with everyone either unable to get time off work, or overwhelmed by the enormity of the corruption, or in denial about the patriotic American dream and the latest fake “enemy,” or afraid of surveillance and prison and repression and massacres, themselves, if they raise a finger or a whimper. Meanwhile the onus is put archly upon the American character itself, so prone to violence and gangsterism. I detect a latent British resentment of this wild roughshod American style, so impolite; but more telling is the guilt of complicity we are brought to realize as the dirty work of the century has been carried out in our name. Revolution in whatever form — street action or consciousness — results when, given all the information, we agree to take responsibility for our political fate. Postscript: To drive home the point, how the culture of violence, extortion, blackmail and assassination — even genocide, for the sake of corporate profit — is ingrained in the fabric of American history since the beginning, see this chronicle of continuous American warring since its founding.

Not one checkable citation, just sensational claims. I should redo the math of why I spend time reading this site.
ReplyDeleteHere are some citations:

Couldn't get the video to work, but Henry Ford's face leads me to believe they're talking about Ford, IBM, and other Allied companies who profited from doing business with the Nazis, even during the war. This is old news, people.
ReplyDeleteActually, Phillip, corporations exhibit the traits of sociopaths. Not only did Henry Ford admire fascism, but his company supplied what the Nazis wanted, with no regard for the social, ethical or political ramifications. Precision Valley didn't suffer the Depression the way the rest of the country did because J&L, Parks and Woolson, Bryant Grinder, Fellows, etc., landed orders for the Soviet Union's five-year plan to industrialize. You might want to see the video, "The Corporation."
ReplyDeleteSpringfield in general is blind to the fact that unless all the stakeholders rather than just the shareholders participate in the decisions of a business, bad things happen. We need to learn how to protect ourselves from Wall Street's excesses.
But Chuck, isn't that prosperity what drew you to Springfield? Now if a change of heart, you must be ecstatic of our dying community with little or no opportunity, a vacant Main Street, failed school system, an out of control opiate epidemic and armed robberies so common they hardly make the news. Isn't it great now sans major industry?
DeleteNone of the factual stuff was hidden. You only have to look for it. Google is handy, not thorough. Including Chuck's Marxist approach.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to disagree with your characterization of Chuck's approach as "Marxist." If you actually read the works of Marx you will find Chuck falls to the LEFT of Karl.
DeleteRead "Trading With the Enemy", available from Amazon. Ford built factories in Europe which produced vehicles for the Reich, and also over a million wood gas fuel devices for civilian vehicles. After the war, Ford was paid by the US government for damage done by Allied bombers to their European factories.
