A Story For Bill Hicks

Those of you who like the comedy of Bill Hicks will like this one.

Hicks had a routine about how wide-eyed, good-meaning presidents get elected with all sorts of great plans, then they get led to a little room by a small group of powerful people and shown a film of the Kennedy assassination from another angle . They ask the new president “Any questions? and the new president falls right into line.

Ha, ha, right? A film of the assassination from another angle, implying that there were other gunmen and it is not as reported. Good one.  Today I read that there is a missing 8mm film of the assassination, from another angle:

“The eight-millimeter film was taken from the opposite side of the president’s limousine from where the Zapruder film was shot.”

A granddaughter of Orville Nix, who shot the film, is suing the government to have the film returned, or be compensated. The film was turned over to the Warren Commission, and hasn’t been seen since.

Bill Hicks must be chuckling in his grave right now.

      Kinda impressed with Putin saying Russia won’t freak out over this and pull their ambassadors or retaliate. He said they’d just be mad at Turkey for a while.

      So odd to see diplomacy.
