My mother witnessed the assassination...she was 20 years old and was in her first job at the Texas School Book Depository. She was standing at the corner of Elm,next to the traffic light. She was traumatized by this throughout her lifetime & always held out hope that the truth would come to light. She passed away without her questions being answered & I feel obligated to her to pick up her "torch" to find out as much as possible. She said Oliver Stone's JFK was very realistic & the documentary, The Men Who Killed Kennedy was on point.

May I recommend Philip Nelson's, "LBJ: Mastermind of the JFK Assassination", and Rob Reiner's podcast on the subject! Both are excellent. The book is based on the latest research, and after reading 40 books on it over the past 60 years, I think it sums it up as well as can be expected today, unless the government releases everything.

So bizzarre that Woody's Dad was suspected of being one of the people that basically put LBJ into power , and 50+ years later .. Woody is playing LBJ in a movie. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.

When you examine LBJ's life, he was a bad guy at many levels.

Hopefully Robert Kennedy Jr wins the Presidency either this election or the next.

And he tried to create a good legacy for himself, with his Great Society, Civil Rights, etc. But tarnished himself by being a suspect in the JFK assassination and WCR cover up (Zirbel, McClellan, Nelson, Stone) and with the disastrous Vietnam war, the reversal of JFK's NSAM 263.

That was worth watching: both Woody and RR are smart, funny and perceptive.

Woody yes, Reiner is a complete myopic idiot.

The irony of having Woddy play Lbj when Lbj played his part in the coup d'etat coverup and his father part of a team of shooters that November day.

@martinkelly9763 1)There was no "coup" so there can be no "coverup" thereof. That's a crank revisionist take on the event. 2) In September 1980, Charles Harrelson (dad of Woody) surrendered to police after a six-hour standoff in which he was reportedly high on cocaine. During the standoff, he threatened suicide, stating that he had killed both Judge Wood and President John F. Kennedy. In a television interview after his arrest, Harrelson said: "At the same time I said I had killed the judge, I said I had killed Kennedy, which might give you an idea to the state of my mind at the time." He said that the statements made during the standoff were just "an effort to prolong my life."

Imho, he was a medium sized cog in a broader intelligence, military, and Texan plot. Check out Alberelli, Coup in Dallas (2021) and Horne, Inside the ARRB, vol. 5 (2009). Irony, Woody Harrelson, the son of Charles Harrelson, 1 of the 3 hobos in the railyard behind the Grassy Knoll? See Jim Marrs, Crossfire (1989, 2013), pp. 322-26.

LBJ becomes one of the greatest Presidents legislation wise, civil rights, even giving children milk each day. LBJ was thrown into the job but did very well. JFK wasnt going near civil rights until 1965. LBJ was out after 1964.

If you're interested in more, listen to Rob Reiner's podcast on the JFK Assassination and read Philip Nelson's book, "LBJ: Mastermind of the JFK Assassination"! LBJ was being investigated for crimes, including murder, as the motorcade made its way to Dealey Plaza, .....and the rest is history!
