Stunning Documentary Series About Assassinations Of JFK, Malcolm X, MLK and RFK "FOUR DIED TRYING" By John Kirby And Libby Handros Debuts

"We refuse to deal with this…" "People know what they cannot acknowledge.."

A new documentary series debuts today, and if you, like most of us, are paralyzed to contemplate how to honor this dark day, the 60th anniversary of the murder of JFK, I recommend you get a cup of tea, (or something stronger perhaps,) and sit down to watch this searing documentary. I watched a pre-view last night, sent to me by Mark Crispin Miller, who features in it, and is also the Consulting Producer. About the Four Died Trying team.

Four Died Trying was directed and produced by the renowned and respected documentary duo John Kirby and Libby Handros, whose BBC documentary The American Ruling Class is a classic.

Four Died Trying is unlike any other documentary in assassination genre in it’s approach, scope, and lens. We see the four men—JFK, MLK, Malcolm X, and RFK—in their context, in their time, and we see their respective assassinations a kind of dark chord, a series of interconnected, thematic executions.

What they died trying to achieve for this country is, to this day, what we all yearn for, yet can’t name. We’ve stopped even expecting it. (To be decent, to be proud.)

We also see that the American media, television and press, were the architects and engineers of the snuffing out of the truth of these culture-imploding murders. We became a nation of people who could not longer speak to one another, no longer seek our inner voices, but instead were left to shadow-box with the voices flooding us from mind control box, the TV set. Commands.

There was a whole new way to be a good American after the 1960s and the CIA controlled mass media made it clear: Don’t wonder, don’t ask, don’t think. They’re dead and it’s… shattering. You can say that—still, but no more. You can have emotional responses indicative of grief, so long as no curiosity follows.

We are still stuck in this MK ultra mind control mold, and this film takes us to the beginning of the big programming agenda that has been running for over half a century.

You can’t ask why they were killed.

This film offers a four way lens to begin to see deep into this unspeakable “why.”

Here’s a poignant quote from James Galbraith from the film:

QUESTION: Looking back and drawing on your memories from the time, what would you say the impact of the assassination was on the country or on the world? 

​

JAMES GALBRAITH: Well, I think it's fair to say it defined the psychology of my generation in a particularly difficult way. In part because of the violence of the act itself, and in part because it set the stage for this long period which is now going on for many decades when people know what they cannot acknowledge. And people who look at it and who think about it in a clear-headed and rational way are treated as though they're speaking something that's taboo…You cannot speak it. You cannot talk about it, or you are excluding yourself from a sphere of, let's call it “leading dialogue” in the United States. A very difficult, very disabling condition for the country as a whole. Lots of countries have ugly traumas in their past. The Germans do…the French had to deal with it. The Russians had to deal with the Soviet period in all of its contradictions. But we refuse to deal with this. And that is something that's going to continue to haunt us. Has haunted us all along. And then there's a larger historical context as well. If Kennedy had not been assassinated, if he had full control of his government in 1964-65, he would have brought the Cold War to an end, assuming that there was a corresponding leadership in the Soviet Union, which, with Nikita Khrushchev, there was.
