Part three begins to dig into the answer to its title, "Who Had the Power?" The narrator (uncredited and unnamed) tells us in a smooth, friendly, conversational tone that President Eisenhower had warned us that the greatest threat to American security was "...the military industrial complex." This section draws attention to a defamation suit brought against The Spotlight weekly newspaper by E. Howard Hunt (CIA). The newspaper was exonerated. So, does that mean their claims that Hunt was personally involved in JFK's murder were true? Now where was it that I've heard Hunt's name before — oh! Watergate! Nixon! Didn't Nixon order the FBI to stop investigating Hunt? Hoover got fired over that deal. Wow, the dots are starting to connect. Who was Nixon's vice president?
Now we are shown hard evidence that all three were in Dallas on November 22, 1963. What in the world would Nixon be doing in Dallas?
Remember the advice that "Deep Throat" gave Woodward and Bernstein in All the President's Men? In the next chapter, Hankey begins to connect the people with the money beginning with Prescott Bush's service on the board of directors of the Union Bank in New York, in 1942. That's the bank that J. Edgar Hoover shut down for laundering Nazi money. Nazis? The 41st President's father? All the names read like a Who's Who of the Council on Foreign Relations and the Bilderbergers! The lines connecting all these people become so numerous, suddenly there's no negative space between them on the chart. Can you believe this?
My brother-in-law once met Michael Jackson. I'm a pharmacist. Did I have anything to do with MJ's death? Nah, I was in Dallas that day.
Go back to sleep Boudreaux, the Indianapolis Colts won.
Would I buy Dark Legacy: George Bush and the Murder of John F. Kennedy? Of course! I love conspiracy theories!

See? That's why you have to follow the money trail. You'll get all of the answers--or not. But... I do love watching the way everything connects together--or not.
Hmmmm
I really like a good cospiracy theory. It's just fun. Loved this one. And this review is awesome!

Thank you both for your comments!
An interesting tidbit from the DVD: Nixon, Bush, and Hunt all gave several different accounts (at different times) to the media on their whereabouts on 11-22-63. They must have been the only three people in America who couldn't remember where they were at 12:30 PM that day.

JFK II is a real mess. Trust me.
See our review of Hankey's works and disastrous interviews at CTKA.

He makes some very good points, I have read about Zapata Oil, which was started in 1953 and it was indeed part of a CIA operation, but Bush denies being part of the intelligence community until 1975.

Wow, Mr FCEtier should have been on OJ's defense team. He really tried hard to bash the hell out of this documentary, perhaps a little too hard. Any person that doesnt believe there are sociopaths in very powerful positions doing "bad" things, is clueless.

a little more than just a theory. i remember exactly where and the exact spot where i was standing when i heard of the assassination. and i believe the cleveland browns may win a superbowl one day even if it takes twenty years. my only consulation is i know God knows.

I watched this documentary and it was extremely compelling. I started sharing these types of documentaries with family members and was told to try and disprove what I saw before accepting it as fact. Well, a lot of the evidence is circumstantial but logical. I'm having a hard to disproving some of the facts from the documentary though. If you can establish that the credibility of the government is in question just once (Iraq and WMDs), then I don't have to prove it twice. Everything they say should come in to question. That's logic.
