It would certainly be interesting to know what the CIA knew about Oswald six weeks before the assassination, but the contents of this particular message never reached the Warren Commission and remain a complete mystery.

Yeah, about sixteen to twenty weeks a year. For example, we can do America in six or seven weeks. You can do Europe in three weeks; England in two weeks. South America you could do in three weeks; Asia you could do in three weeks.

Now the interesting thing about the movie is that many of the questions it raised about the Warren Commission and its investigation were all investigated by our committee 13 years ago. We published our findings in 27 volumes of information and evidentiary material.

8 Weeks
8 weeks to live
8 weeks to die
8 weeks is all they had
8 weeks to do the things they never did
8 weeks of fighting
8 weeks of trying to fit everything in
8 weeks of pain, suffering, and confusion
8 weeks of faking a smile
8 weeks of repetition
8 weeks of knowing they were nearing the end
8 weeks of love from friends and family
8 weeks…the shortest/longest, most hurtful/helpful weeks of their lives
8 weeks later…knowing they’ll never be able to do the things they’ve always wanted to
8 weeks later…now realizing he’ll never see her walk, at graduation nor down the aisle
8 weeks later…close friends and family now in shambles
8 weeks later…close friends and family never closer
8 weeks later…here we are

The Spirit Of Jfk
Let the word go forth
Let the word go forth
From this time and place
Good evening my fellow citizens
Im speaking tonight in a spirit of hope
In the human spirit, the human spirit
Lee harvey oswald
Oh, no
Jack ruby
Oswald and ruby
Oh, no
To friend and foe alike
Oswald and ruby
My god, have you heard
The president is dead
Oswald and ruby
They do not imprison spirits
Oswald and ruby
They do not imprison spirits
The president is dead
Well, I know where that 3rd shot came from
The grassy knoll
Behind the picket fence
The energy, the faith, the function
Which we bring to this endeavor
Well fight our country and all who serve it
And the glow from that fire
Can truly light the world
History will record the facts
I didnt shoot anybody
Lee harvey oswald
Why should anybody serve?
Why should anybody serve?
Jack harvey oswald
We have learned in times past
The spirit of one moment or place
Can be gone in the next

In the spirit of Rumi 36 - The rose told me
‘If all men already knew my message, saw my smile
then there would be no need for me to speak; or to exist.
If all men already knew my message, saw my smile
then they would treat me like the grass; like the sand.
If all men already knew my message, saw my smile
I would be a noun bereft of any adjective
like grass; like sand.
If all men already knew My message, saw My smile
they would already be God.
If all men already knew My message, saw My smile
none of them, or all of them, would be poets.’
I Am glorious unity;
I Am glorious multiplicity;
Enjoy Me.
[for Ghada, with thanks..]

Si may go
Si (she) may go; Si (she) may go,
Left with no option but to forgo
She had expressed desire earlier,
I termed her as complete liar,
She came with old proposal,
Things were ready for her disposal,
She may be engaged and start packing,
Marriage is best way and has parent’s backing,
“Good, Good” acknowledged with grief,
Shock was not sudden but news brief,
Story was with “if” and shrouded with mystery,
Was not at all going to create history,
She was almost there with me everyday,
Exchange of views with good morning a day,
Face only shown rest veiled and covered,
Only picture in mind and simply remembered,
Wanted me as special friend but with restriction,
Simple talk with no excuses and friction,
It was irritating as I had addiction,
Leading to quarrel and mostly with questions,
She insisted her faith does not permit,
Many things acceptable but most to omit,
Can go to some extent and with limited length,
I was loosing grip and strength,
I was just reduced to a friend,
Saw imminent fall and tragic end,
Message was clear and contents sure,
She was alright but I was unsure,
She wished success and bright future,
Offering few words for sordid failure,
I understood the meaning and clear message,
Nothing was left except offering passage,
I was to remain passive and with dark,
Not to be perturbed with loud dog bark,
Lightening may be more with heavy spark,
Leaving aside oblivion with beginning and start

Piercing the veils of mystery.
Piercing the veils of mystery.
Some understand instinctively.
What must remain a mystery
To the vast majority
Of ignorant humanity.
Most just accept the Status Quo
Because they do not want to know.
Although a few an elite few
Will learn things that they never knew
By dint of hard experience
They have to learn in self defence
Although their progress may be slow.
They can’t forget once that they know
How to interpret what they see
Piercing the veils of mystery.

Suffering makes a people greater, and we have suffered much. We had a message to give the world, but we were overwhelmed, and the message was cut off in the middle. In time there will be millions of us - becoming stronger and stronger - and we will complete the message.

The Mystery Of You
What is it that makes a person unique?
It's what we refer to as a mystique.
Ah! the mystery surrounding each one
is as different as the moon and the sun.
Take a good look at those you see.
They're all so different, a complexity
of all sizes and shapes that help to make
our lives so amazing, like the snowflake.
No two alike will ever exist,
not even twins and there's the twist.
Why would anyone want to be
like someone else is beyond me?
Being yourself has got to be
the most interesting thing that sets you free.
You don't have to try to be who you're not.
This is what so many people forgot.
They knew it as children and savored the taste
and welcomed the difference in everyone's face.
But then as we grew and were taught a new tune,
our child like innocence fell into ruin.
We must relearn and keep in our mind
the more we are different, the more we will find
that no where on earth will there ever be
one that's like you. You're a mystery.

If We Knew The Ending Of It
If we knew the ending of it,
As we proceed from the beginning.
Would it remain an adventure?
This life we would love to have satisfied,
Stripped of its mystery.
Where would we be if we knew,
Each step along the way.
It would be nice to have life laid out and paved,
Without an obstacle on it.
So it can be appreciated even less,
Than it is now!
If we knew the ending of it.
Like some who wait and sit...
Making excuses.
And wasting time to find that accepted.
To address with those of similar mindsets.

This Mystery Is On You To Solve
You've recently made a decision
To do something on your own
Something you knew should have taken place
Weeks ago
And you call me to let me know that this was done
Okay?
I can dig it
But
Is it because you found out I knew
You had not followed through
As you initially promised
That you would do to someone else?
Or you wish to confirm your action
As being completed?
With me?
Ok you get an 'A' plus
But
That's why I had not returned your call
Because I have no idea what you expect me to say
I like Chardonnay with cheese?
Homemade pancakes?
Seriously
I 'still' don't understand the call
How am I involved?
And when did you ever listen to someone
With the giving to you advice?
You are getting too mysterious
And mysteries I am not into!
And no
I am not returning the call
This mystery is on you to solve

In my opinion, assassination theories will continue to revolve around these assassinations as they have around several other significant assassinations in American history. The assassination of President Lincoln comes to mind.

I think each of us knows his own mystery with a knowing that precedes the origins of all knowledge. None of us ever gives it away. No one can. We envelop it with talk and hide it with deeds. Yet we always hope that somehow the others will know it is there, that a mystery in the other we cannot know will respond to a mystery in the self we cannot understand. The only full satisfaction life offers us is this sense of communion. We seek it constantly. Sometimes we find it. As we grow older we learn that it is never complete and sometimes it is entire illusory.

Go Away!
A gathering came together
To compose a message.
The contents of it were very clear.
When he received it...
He did not approve of the punctuation.
He sent it back,
With his own message attached.
'Let there be no mistake,
I am responsible for my irresponsibility.
If I can admit that...
At least you can come up with a better way
To make me understand
Why...
And I want this with more clarity!
'WHY? ' do you insist on bothering me,
With your petty ways of misunderstanding
My dysfunctions?
I made that clear from the onset!
Now leave me alone
And find better use of your time!
Go away! '
