Can You Say “Assassination?”

June 13, 2013

Dallas mossbacks still think they can silence debate at the JFK anniversary. By Jim Schutze Thursday, Jun 13 2013, Dallas Observer News Wrong. I said the 50th anniversary of the JFK assassination in Dallas would be no big deal. It will be. And it looks as if Dallas, to the delight of many, will step right into the middle of that big deal looking guilty as sin of something or other. The question will be what. Guilty of complicity in the assassination itself? Or guilty of being stupid? It’s my town and by God I love it, so I’m going with the second door. First of all, Hollywood alone will guarantee major renewed interest in the assassination and in all of the legends, myths, folklore and theory that surround it. Tom Hanks has a movie in production starring Paul Giamatti and Billy Bob Thornton, to be called Parkland. The plot is not known, but I’m guessing it’s JFK with a serious head injury waiting to be seen by a doctor at Parkland Hospital for 18 hours. We all know how that scenario ends. Leonardo DiCaprio has another JFKer in the works called Legacy of Secrecy, which is supposed to “blow…

Yes, that anniversary

May 23, 2013

Reprinted from the Tampa Tribune There are anniversaries ­- births, triumphs, marriages – and there are anniversaries – deaths, defeats, tragedies. And then there is the Kennedy assassination. Nothing else in America’s frame of reference resonates so searingly – and so controversially. Pearl Harbor begot V-J Day and a sense, however imperfect, of some closure. The assassination of John F. Kennedy – 50 years ago this Nov. 22 – is still an open case in the court of American public opinion. That’s because of one word: “conspiracy.” No matter what the alternative scenario, if there’s doubt that Kennedy was killed…

Who Died and Made the Sixth Floor Museum the King of Dealey Plaza?

By Jim Schutze Thu., May 16 2013 at 11:00 AM Last night the history group called Preservation Dallas gave a special award to Lindalyn Adams, one of the people who created The Sixth Floor, the Kennedy assassination museum downtown. That’s great. She deserves it. Now I want to know why The Sixth Floor got Robert Groden thrown in the slammer. Groden is a best-selling author whose books argue that the killing of the president in Dallas a half century ago was a conspiracy. On weekends, when tourists, including plenty of assassination buffs, flock to downtown to visit Dealey Plaza where…

Looks Like the City May Allow Free Speech on JFK 50th After All

March 14, 2013

Looks Like the City May Allow Free Speech on JFK 50th After All By Jim Schutze, Dallas Morning News There are signs — hints, indications, wisps of smoke in the wind — suggesting we might get out of the JFK 50th observations in one piece after all. I’ve been quick to suggest Dallas would blow itself to smithereens with a bizarre compulsion to shut down free speech at Dealey Plaza come November 22 when the world remembers what happened here a half century ago. I guess I should acknowledge that it could also come out OK. First good sign: the…

Dallas Still Wants to Control Speech on JFK Anniversary

Is the Trilateral Commission behind an anti-conspiracy conspiracy? By Jim Schutze Thursday, Mar 7 2013 Nothing could be crazier or sadder. It is the continued determination of a small group of people in Dallas to tightly control public observations of the upcoming 50th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination here. They want to banish the public from Dealey Plaza where it happened so that no one can go there and raise questions. Jared Boggess At the behest of this group, the city has agreed to barricade and shut down Dealey Plaza for two weeks bracketing the November 22 anniversary of President…
