Conspiracy Theory<\/a> for everything. Reporter think of kennedys death as the mothership of modern conspiracies. There have been two official government investigations. And no fewer than 2,000 books suggesting gunmen on nearly every rooftop, behind every fence, even in sewer drains. And still ask most people and theyll tell you this remains an unsolved crime. Lee
Harvey Oswald<\/a> has been shot. Tonight we have the story of one man who went down that rabbit hole. Like so many others, he had to know what happened. Until he realized that quest was spinning him in circles. But you can still see his search for the truth because its hanging on a wall in a restaurant right here in
San Francisco<\/a>. In dallas texas, three shots were fired at president kennedys motorcade in downtown dallas. Somehow this is our
National Myth<\/a> for the modern media age. They have been taken to
Parkland Hospital<\/a> there. 50 years later, everybodys got a spin. Everyone has a theory. Reporter like so many americans, tyrone wanted an answer. So he went digging. Profiles, bullet trajectories, the home movie, news reel footage, polaroids. Reporter for 25 years, he poured over every last piece of evidence. And this is what he found. The truth is there is no solution to this crime. You cant solve it. Its like a rubiks cube with no solution. Reporter and he also realized he was drowning in the mystery. Nobody can really pinpoint what actually happened, even with those films. And thats where you end up in the tarpits of madness. Reporter so he started digging again. Digs his way out. Somewhat all we know is grainy, black and white footage, super 8 home movie footage, polleroid snapshots. So i started painting these pictures. Reporter he took the riddle and turned it into art. Are now hanging in a restaurant. And thats ker restaurant in san something happened at the end of the motorcade route. Theres numerous people running up the hill alongside elm street. Stand by just a moment please. You could spend the rest of your life trying to chase something that your never going to find. And im not doing that. [ laughter ] honest to god, this really got me off that conspiracy candy. This was the best way to solidify it, almost like in amber. And then im done. Franciscos cole valley. The his paintings, all 104 of them are now hanging in a restaurant in
San Francisco<\/a>s coal valley. And our last note on this anniversary comes from kennedy himself. On june 10th, 1963, the president gave the commencement address at american university. Kept secret until the day it was delivered, it was his formal announcement that he was seeking a
Nuclear Test Ban<\/a> treaty with the soviet union. It was entitled strategy of peace. So president john f. Kennedy speaking nearly five months before his fateful trip to dallas. I have therefore chosen this time and place to discuss a topic on which ignorance too often abounds. The truth too rarely perceived, and that is the most important topic on earth peace. What kind of a peace do i mean, and what kind of a peace do we seek . Not a
Pax Americana<\/a> enforced on the world by american weapons of war. Not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave. I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living, and the kind that enables men and nations to grow and to hope and build a better life for their children, not merely peace for americans but peace for all men and women. Not merely peace in our time, but peace in all time. And history teacheen enmities between nations didnt left forever. Our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet, we all breathe the same air, we all cherish our childrens futures, and we are all mortal. ,,,, [ female announcer ] welcome one and all to a tastier festive feast. So much to sip and savor, a feeding frenzy to say the least. A turkey from safeway is just what they crave. A hero of the table, so delicious theyll rave. Fresh, natural, frozen.

National Adoption<\/a> day, and in san jose the downtown courthouse turned into adoption central judges finalized adoptions of 48 kids into 36 loving families. New parents and maybe even some new siblings werent the only things these kids took home. Im happy because i got to paint, and i got a lot of food. And i got adopted.
