I am looking for the special you are talking about. In the meantime, there is this:

I discovered this amazing document years ago and it is featured in my latest book HONEST ANSWERS.

Thanks! Please see:

I have so many observations to make on this fascinating topic, but I will try to be brief (in no particular order): - The "seeing conspiracies in your soup" is the one dangerous byproduct of this case for some that is highly disturbing to me. Everything controversial that happens in contemporary life becomes a "false flag", a "hoax" and a conspiracy with people making false equivalencies to the JFK conspiracy ("Damn, it is just like what happened on 11/22/63!"). Thanks largely to Alex Jones and James Fetzer, both 9/11 and the Sandy Hook massacre were made out to be something they were not and, as a result, the term "conspiracy theorist" thus took on a much darker shade with many no longer taking anyone who espoused notions of "false flags" and so forth seriously, even throwing in the "tin foil hat" insults. I rarely heard anyone making derogatory comments about JFK conspiracy researchers pre-9/11 (and pre-Fetzer/Jones) but, since then, it is common fare to see loads of insults on public (comment) forums and so forth. We have met the enemy and it is (largely) us by these false equivalencies to contemporary acts (mass shootings, etc.) and going off the deep end. - Having "a life" greatly helps keep things in perspective and also helps one keep an open mind towards the case. By "a life" I mean anything from a wife and/or a family to even "just" other interests (or perhaps even a full-time job; hopefully one that is intellectually stimulating and so on). Without diversions, one can become consumed with this case and become too wedded to a theory, paranoid, bitter, easy to get into conflicts with others, etc. I remember a time in the late 1980's-early 1990's [I was 22-26ish] when I was full-blown consumed and obsessed with this case, to the point of silliness: I would make a sharp hairpin turn in my car and think of Bill Greer driving the limo in Dealey Plaza (!). I would constantly juxtapose mental images of Kennedy in life with those of him being assassinated (those early viewings of the Zapruder film and especially the autopsy photos had a profound effect on me). I remember seeing the JFK movie and coming out of the theater all fired up and wanting justice for Kennedy, only to be bummed out when I overheard a couple talking about who was playing NFL football on Sunday- hey, why weren't they as "into it" as I was? The list goes on. I almost felt as if I had ADHD back then- the Kennedy case was a running movie in my head nearly all the time. The case "cooled" for me somewhat as I got older- with age comes cynicism that the case will ever be solved. Actually, this case is a weird conundrum: there is a part of me (a part of most all of us?) that doesn't want it to ever be solved, as incongruous and potentially distasteful that notion may be to some. But have no fear: this case will live forever- not so much because it will never be solved but we will never AGREE with any solution! -I highly recommend this outstanding article by retired Canadian researcher Ulric Shannon (I knew him well back in the 1990's when he was a passionate young man interested in the case. When the 2000's came, like Kathleen Cunningham, Carol Hewett, Barabara LaMonica, Steven Jones and others, he lost interest [I think the ending of the ARRB actually had a negative effect on some- it felt like that was the last investigation- the last hurrah- and, with the new century, we had gone as far as we could go]: Problems In the JFK Assassination Research Community (jfk-assassination.net) -"Don't become a Livingstone"- that is what a few fellow researchers said back in the day. Harry Livingstone, although a highly successful and prolific author (High Treason was twice a NY Times best-seller, while High Treason 2 was also a NY Times best-seller plus he wrote a couple other books that did well), was ostracized from the research community and barred from speaking at any of the major conferences (ASK, Lancer, COPA) because of his harsh and hostile takes on well-known and revered authors like Mary Ferrell, Harold Weisberg, Mark Lane, and others. Harry's third JFK book Killing The Truth truly "did him in"- he became a pariah in this case. Harry had fallen so far down the rabbit hole with hatred for other contemporaries, paranoia and loneliness (he was a lifelong bachelor who inherited some money and made enough money from his books to never have to work- he just "lived" the case 24/7), that the very good work he DID do on the case was (sadly) ignored and shunned because of the way he was.

Haha!

This could explain the security:

Yes.

My pleasure! See that Dealey Plaza UK link- a lot is archived there.

Really good article before Harry passed away: Kennedy assassination is author”s life”s work – Monterey Herald

Harry made brief national news included in this video:

Bart Kamp and Malcolm Blunt have Harry's files, but I (also) have several amazing videos: Harry Livingstone - Dealey Plaza UK

THE best documentary on the case EVER!

Not really into the specific area.
