The JFK Assasination, The Umbrella Man, & the Analysis of History
http://www.slashfilm.com/watch-the-umbrella-man-short-errol-morris-jfk-assassination-danger-jumping-conclusions/
This short film is so cool. And absolutely essential for anyone interested in high and low weirdness, conspiracy theories, fortean phenomena, etc. What a delightful kink in an the already unbelievably complicated analysis of the assassination.
(And what an obscure method of protest! (If this isn't just one more cover-up of the story THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW...)) I, for one, will never again open an umbrella again without thinking of Chamberlain and the Munich Agreement!
I also have to wonder if this has seeped into Secret Service training - if you see a guy with an open umbrella on a sunny day - watch out!
And, upon further reflection, I think I can add my very own spanking brand new theory about the Kennedy assassination, thanks to the Umbrella Man: It was clearly the work of Czech nationalists, angry about ol' Joe Kennedy helping sell them out in '38. 25 years later.... The millstones of the Czechs grind slowly, but exceedingly fine....
