It comes out this fall, in time for the 51st anniversary. I don't know how he plans to distribute it. I can't imagine it will be shown in theaters. If Tom Hanks couldn't sell a movie about JFK officialdom (Parkland, which bombed badly) I doubt that James Lambert can. So, I suspect that it will just be an online thing,
This man has training in documentary film-making, and he also teaches in the field of Media. But, there isn't much to the trailer. It's an appeal to Americana (love for America) with clean-cut, polished cadets singing in perfect harmony at the 50th anniversary gathering in Dealey Plaza last year. And then it breaks to a scruffy CT who is arguing with Lambert about Johnson's motives for killing Kennedy and more, to which Lambert responds: "Much of what you're saying isn't true." And that's it. That's the end of it.
I'm not a film-maker, but I have penned two scripts, and I don't think that this trailer was well done at all. Even if I were an LN, I first wouldn't appreciate being patronized with all that tear-jerking Americana stuff. It doesn't lend anything to finding the truth about what happened on 11/22/63. Personally, I don't think a government is anything that anybody should love. And I mean any government, and certainly not this one. But, even if you disagree, brandishing love of America does not in any way advance JFK truth; it is irrelevant. In other words, Lambert is just playing the patriotic card.
And I didn't recognize the CT that he argues with at the end, with the CT doing most of the talking. He spoke of the conflicts and resentments that LBJ had with Kennedy as a motive for his involvement in the murder, and he spoke of Kennedy's resolve to weaken the Federal Reserve.
Well, both of those things are true. One of our senior members, Phillip Nelson, wrote a book about LBJ entitled LBJ: Mastermind of the JFK Assassination which I have read: twice.
And regarding the Federal Reserve, I heard Judge Andrew Napolitano say on national television, "The last President who stood up to the Federal Reserve was John F. Kennedy, and look what happened to him."
That was a couple of years ago, and within a few months, his program, Liberty Watch, got cancelled even though it had high ratings. But, I remember thinking to myself at the time: "WTF! That is some statement to hear on prime time television."
But, I have to give the devil his due. Lambert was quite clever. That's because the singing cadets seemed so peaceful, so harmonious, and so elevated; they were like the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. But, the CT was scruffy and routy; he talked fast and furious; he was aggressive; not physically of course, but he seemed zealous, maybe even over-zealous. He wasn't calm, like the cadets. He wasn't soothing, like the cadets. He didn't rise to a higher level, like the cadets. He seemed combative and abrasive. Maybe even fanatical is the right word to describe him. It was his belligerence that was being showcased and contrasted with the fine a cappella voices of the cadets singing for their beloved country.
As political propaganda goes, it was textbook. You could call it Stalinist if you prefer "motherland" or you could call it Nazi if you like the sound of "fatherland" better. It doesn't matter. Take your pick. Either/or, that's what Lambert is selling. The trailer offers NOTHING of substance on why we should believe the official story of the JFK assassination.
I doubt that the film will go far. In fact, I suspect that the high and mighty would like to see the 51st commemoration be quiet and subdued. They don't want a lot of fanfare. But, I am calling your attention to it because I think that we JFK truthers may be able to use this film to our advantage. I think it could be a springboard- for us.
