SCOOP: It has long been known that LIFE's editors kept changing their 10/2/64 issue to jive with the Warren Report's "magic bullet" finding. But until we looked into it, only 3 separate print runs had been identified. We unearthed a 4th, meaning that LIFE's editors broke the photographic plates multiple times and printed 4 different versions of that issue—an extremely expensive and unheard-of undertaking (then or now) 🧵

As the war in Iran rages on, it's wise to reflect upon how the #militaryindustrialcomplex has shaped history. In this @SolvingJFK clip, FOUR DIED TRYING producer Libby Handros explains how JFK, MLK, RFK and Malcolm X all advocated for peace—and died because of it: "All four men were for peace. They didn't want the foreign entanglements. [JFK] was making rapprochement with Khrushchev. MLK was a peace activist. So was Malcolm X: He came out against the war in Vietnam long before anyone else. And it's not healthy to be for peace, because of course there's something called the military-industrial complex." Learn more at fourdiedtrying.com

FOUR DIED TRYING interviewee Vince Salandria, who was born 98 years ago this month, was the first civilian to read all 26 volumes of the Warren Report—upon which he called the murder a "false mystery" because it was so obviously a coup carried out by elements of the U.S. national security state. In this clip from @SolvingJFK, director John Kirby explains, "The crime scene [was] destroyed immediately. Everything you need to know about who did it is right there. They take Governor Connally's clothes to the dry cleaner. They bang out the dents in [JFK's] limousine and send it back to Ford and wash out all the blood. And they let the prime suspect be killed while in police custody." Learn more at fourdiedtrying.com

65 years ago this week, President Kennedy launched the Alliance for Progress, a multibillion-dollar, 10-year program to reduce poverty, promote democracy, and foster economic cooperation and social development in Latin America (mainly to offset the influence of Cuba and the Soviet Union in the area) Imagine if JFK hadn't been assassinated, and that the 19 Latin countries that participated in "La Alianza"—Mexico, Venezuela, and Brazil among them—had been encouraged to grow and flourish. In that alternate timeline, the U.S. may not be experiencing a border crisis at all... youtube.com/watch?v=7Co6rj…

#StPatricksDay is the perfect time to spotlight how JFK's Irish roots informed his presidency. The Kennedys "were famine Irish who came over in the 1850s and...never lost sight of the fact that they came from an oppressed people that had been under the heel of the British. Despite all [JFK's] privilege, he's got that deep in his soul. In Congress, he becomes the head of the subcommittee on African affairs. He is very sympathetic to anticolonial struggles all over the world." —4DT director John Kirby, on @SolvingJFK☘️🇮🇪

"Amid war, rampant inequality and prejudice, [RFK] could see that the U.S. was on the brink of a pivotal moment. Nearly six decades later, history is once again repeating itself." Today, we find ourselves at a familiar crossroads—which is why the tagline for FOUR DIED TRYING is: "To see where we are, look where we've been." When we resume production of our film franchise, we will continue to resurface "forgotten history," in hopes that resurrecting hard lessons of the past will help prevent Americans from making the same horrific mistakes over and over.
Robert & Ethel Kennedy Human Rights Center@Kennedy_HRC

#ThisDayInHistory: 58 years ago today, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy announced his candidacy for the presidency of the United States. “I run to seek new policies,” he said. “Policies to close the gaps that now exist between Black and white, between rich and poor, between young and old, in this country and around the rest of the world.” Amid war, rampant inequality and prejudice, Sen. Kennedy could see that the U.S. was on the brink of a pivotal moment. Nearly six decades later, history is once again repeating itself. Times change, but the fight for accountability and the rule of law endures. We continue the work he and Mrs. Kennedy began, because acting on moral courage isn’t always easy, but it is always necessary.

Hard to imagine any American president since Kennedy reacting with such poignancy to the murder of an anti-colonial leader from another continent. JFK had championed the freedom and self-determination of African countries since his time in the House. FOUR DIED TRYING will be covering this story in-depth once we are finally free to release our films again. For those who may not know, Patrice Lumumba helped transform Congo from Belgian colony to democratic republic and became the newly independent nation's first prime minister in 1960.
Athan xanthis@TheRealCurly5

The iconic February 13, 1961, Photo of JFK with his hand pressed to his face in visible agony captures his genuine shock and frustration upon learning of Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba's death, a tragedy he had worked behind the scenes to prevent. While Kennedy had actively sought to protect the Congolese leader and steer the Congo toward a stable, independent future, he was kept in the dark by elements within his own intelligence apparatus who had their own agendas. The fact that he was not informed of the assassination until nearly a month after it occurred underscores the dangerous disconnect between the President and the national security establishment, revealing a man who, despite holding the highest office, found his own foreign policy initiatives being actively sabotaged by the very agencies meant to serve him.

Seeing my father, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., march with a child holding a sign that reads “Children are not born to burn” reminds us that the moral questions surrounding war are not new. He spoke out against the Vietnam War because he believed that bombs falling on children anywhere threaten the conscience of humanity everywhere. Today we are again witnessing the unbearable loss of young lives in places like Sudan and Iran, where schools that should have been places of learning have become places of mourning. My father warned that violence multiplies violence and that the choice before humanity is no longer violence or nonexistence but nonviolence or nonexistence. Children are still depending on us to choose the better path. #MLK #Nonviolence #BelovedCommunity

The JFK Assassination really is unlike any other event in world history. When you start studying it, it's like gazing into a crystal orb, where the deeper you look, the more it unfolds, and goes on forever. Dozens, hundreds of bizarre anomalies that there's just no way it's just a coincidence. Like this one. LHO's phone calls from the jail are an entire sub-chapter of the conspiracy lore. None of it makes any sense. The Warren Commission Official Narrative was like "yeah, we have no idea who Oswald tried to call, whatever, look over here at this Magic Bullet." I have done the deep dive into the JFK Files about Oswald's jail phone calls and it's such a convoluted, improbable story that if i explained the whole thing to you here, it would be 5,000 words and look like schizo gibberish and you would think i'm crazy (i am). But it really did happen this way.

"What prevents us from seeing it when it's so clear?" "The mystery is in us." Great stuff from John and Libby of @FourDiedTrying. How can we help you guys fight back against the suppression campaign? Any chance of getting a sample of that Mort Sahl interview? Fantastic episode, @SolvingJfk.

it just kills me that my man @MysticCove4 has so few followers. I COMMAND YOU TO FOLLOW HIM! he's more dedicated to The Files than i am, everyday, he's finding weird obscure stuff that fell through the cracks. "They" murdered our President in a coup then took over America and nobody cares anymore, that's just the way it is :(
