On this day in history, Nov. 22, 1963, John F. Kennedy, 35th president, is assassinated
President John F. Kennedy, the nation's 35th president, was assassinated in Dallas, Texas, on this day in history, Nov. 22, 1963, while riding in a motorcade during a campaign trip.
I was nine years old in the fourth grade. My teacher Mrs. Schmidt was so freaked she never said a word although even we kids could tell something wrong. When I got home the TV was giving what we now know as the coverup facts and my Mom was reading the Bible laying on her bed. That memory will NEVER go away. They murdered our President and got away with it.
I was in my second year of high school. While we were changing classrooms that afternoon, the halls were buzzing with students talking, to a very unusual degree. I could tell something was up.
When we finally settled into our next class, the principal came on the PA system and haltingly announced that there was "news" that the President had been "injured," and that classes were cancelled for the remainder of the day.
That was when I knew this had to be serious business. But all the same, I didn't actually believe JFK was dead. It was just too unthinkable. That sort of thing only happened in history books. As I walked home that afternoon, I kept thinking that he might have been somehow injured, or fallen ill.
But when I stepped in the door of my house, I found my parents sitting in front of the TV set in complete silence, staring at Walter Cronkite as he stammered out the first sketchy reports of what had happened. And it was at that moment that I finally realized that the worst was true: JFK had been murdered. Without a word, I put down my books, sat down and joined my parents, watching the news in rapt silence. Eventually, my sister came home, and she did likewise.
None of us spoke or moved until after sundown, when we got up to have something to eat and discuss things, still dazed and disoriented. School didn't begin again till the following Tuesday, but it would be weeks before we were back to anything resembling normal. For the country as a whole, I don't think we ever did return to any true "normal."
Even at the time, I didn't buy the "official explanation" of the events surrounding the murder. I still don't.
I have great empathy for those who experienced the assassination in real time. It was a nightmare without end. I have 10 books on the shelf over my left shoulder here I have read dozens more and thousands of pages of documents. I never will be over the slaughter of this man or his brother. It should be a priority for Trump to uncover the entire affair with a total declass of EVERYTHING. The actors are rotting in hell for years now the only thing being protected is the DEEP STATE itself.
