Everything Is a Rich Man's Trick
Francis Richard Conolly narrates a sprawling case that the killing of John F. Kennedy was not a lone gunman's act but the opening move in a decades-long pattern of engineered history. The film traces a line from Dealey Plaza through the Vietnam War, oil and banking interests, and secret societies, arguing that the same networks of money and power resurface again and again, right up through the attacks of September 11, 2001. Archival photographs, news footage, and period interviews are stitched together with Conolly's narration to build a chronology of assassinations, wars, and financial maneuvers presented as connected rather than coincidental. War profiteering gets particular attention, framed as the throughline linking Cold War conflicts to more recent ones. The tone is accusatory and dense with names, dates, and cross-references, asking the viewer to treat fifty years of American history as a single unfolding operation rather than a series of unrelated crises. It is a maximalist conspiracy argument, not a balanced inquiry, and it plays that way from the first minute.
