But I'm not John-Boy - My Journey to be a Writer

Looking For Integrity Under The Rocks

In all my 72 years on this earth, I have never seen as many people willing to drop to the ground and start licking boots as I’ve seen recently, especially in this past week. As you all know by now, Ron DeSantis ended his campaign this weekend.  I was frankly surprised, though others say they saw it coming.  But despite the fact that Donald Trump has called DeSantis just about every made-up…

Axel Reyes: Kennedy (1983) Starring Martin Sheen

. Source:The Daily Press There have been several movies about John F. Kennedy. Because even though he only lived forty-six years there were so many things that went on in his life that were worth writing and filming about. Like his Navy career, what he did right after that trying to decide what he would do the rest of his life. His first campaign for the House of Representatives in 1946, his time…

Biden’s Broken Promise: JFK Files Still Sealed, Public Left in the Dark   

Late in the afternoon of the Friday before the much-anticipated Independence Day weekend, the Biden administration quietly announced a delay in releasing particular classified documents linked to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The postponement, they claimed, was a matter of national security.

   Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a high-profile figure in the Kennedy clan, responded with vehement criticism. Recently, he has been vocal about his suspicion of the CIA’s involvement in his uncle’s death and has expressed concerns about his safety concerning the agency.

   Kennedy, whose political influence is growing and who has become a considerable contender for the 2024 Democratic presidential nomination against Joe Biden, proposed the existence of a deliberate coverup. In a flurry of tweets, he posed a question that reverberated through the digital sphere: “The assassination was 60 years ago. What national security secrets could be at risk? What are they hiding?”

   He criticized Biden’s strategic timing for burying this “bad news” during a busy holiday weekend. He accused him of intending to indefinitely maintain the shroud of secrecy over the JFK assassination records. Kennedy even went as far as to state that this decision clearly violated the President JFK Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992. This law stipulated that all JFK assassination records held by the government should have been released by October 2017.

   It should be noted, however, that this law does contain a clause that permits a delay if the president determines that the release could harm military defense, intelligence operations, law enforcement, or foreign relations to the degree that outweighs the public interest.

   Despite this, Kennedy maintains that the records held by NARA should have been released by now, as initially agreed by Biden in December. The administration had pledged to remove the remaining records by June 30th, the eve of the Independence Day weekend.

   The White House stated on Friday that more than 99% of the records have been made public. Nevertheless, in a memo signed by Biden, it was revealed that the acting archivist of NARA recommended the continued postponement of the public release of certain redacted information from the December release. Biden echoed this recommendation, saying that the disclosure could harm military defense, intelligence operations, law enforcement, and foreign relations.

   Biden committed to future releases following a policy named the Transparency Plan, established by the National Declassification Center (NDC). The president maintained that the plan ensures maximum access to information while protecting against identifiable harm as per the standards of the Act.

   Since his announcement to run for president, Kennedy has increasingly voiced his belief that the American government was responsible for his uncle JFK’s murder. He pointed to former CIA Director Allen Dulles, a member of the Warren Commission, appointed to investigate the assassination. Kennedy stated that his father’s “first instincts” were that the federal agency was responsible for JFK’s death, a claim the CIA has consistently denied.

   In 1979, a U.S. House review committee concluded that Kennedy’s murder involved at least two gunmen and other conspirators. The only person officially accused, Lee Harvey Oswald, denied his involvement and was subsequently murdered before he could be tried.

   In a recent podcast interview with influential conservative Joe Rogan, Kennedy admitted that he feels threatened by intelligence agencies like the CIA and is taking precautions for his safety. This complex and troubling history unfolds as we approach the next presidential election.

The Cuban Missile Crisis: Immediate Postmortems

So let us begin anew - remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness, and sincerity is always subject to proof. Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate.

Little Shop of Horrors takes place sometime in the early 60s, but it's hard to pin down the exact year. A radio broadcast mentions President Kennedy, so that narrows it down to 1961, 1962, or 1963. During the song Feed Me (Git It), one of the offers Audrey II waves in Seymour's face is a "guest spot on Jack Paar." Jack Paar hosted the Tonight Show from July 29, 1957 to March 30, 1962. The opening line of the movie says that the events took place on the 23rd day of the month of September, so if we assume Jack Paar was still on the air when Audrey II mentioned him, then 1962 and 1963 are off the table, meaning is has to be 1961, right? Well, after Seymour kills Mr. Mushnik allows Audrey II to kill Mr. Mushnik, we get a short montage of offers and contracts and magazine covers to establish that Seymour's star is rising. One of the covers is a TV Guide for the week of October 6 - 12.

October 6th was a Sunday in 1963, not 1961, so that complicated things until I googled existing TV Guides and learned that they don't start the week on Sunday, but Saturday instead.

April 23 - 29, 1983 (Saturday to Friday) December 27, 1980 - January 2, 1981 (Saturday to Friday)

October 6 - 12 was a Saturday to Friday in 1962.

If we assume Audrey II just pulled the first famous talkshow host name it could think of regardless of whether or not he was still on the air, then 1962 remains our best bet because in the director's cut ending where the plants take over the world there's one shot of Audrey II bursting through a movie theater marquee advertising Jason and the Argonauts, a Ray Harryhausen movie which premiered June 13, 1963.

Little Shop of Horrors starts on September 23, 1962.

Seymour gets his face on the cover of Life and the TV Guide the following month.

Audrey II would hit store shelves just in time for Christmas, spreading around the country faster than hula hoops and the Twist, taking over the world sometime in the new year.
