Timestamped Summary: JFK's Peace Speech and LBJ's Vietnam Policy Reversal:

- (00:06-00:21) In his 1963 Peace Speech at American University, JFK discusses choosing to address the topic of peace, describing it as "the most important topic on earth" where "ignorance too often abounds" and "truth too rarely perceived."

- (00:23-00:44) Day after JFK's funeral, LBJ approves National Security Action Memorandum #273, initiating shift in U.S. military policy in Vietnam - a complete departure from Kennedy's withdrawal plans.

- (00:47-01:05) JFK defines the peace he seeks: "Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war" but genuine peace that makes life worth living.

- (01:00-01:19) LBJ gives permission to initiate Operational Plan 34 Alpha (OPLAN 34A), employing covert naval operations in North Vietnamese waters.

- (01:19-01:30) JFK speaks of "genuine peace, the kind that makes life on Earth worth living" and enables growth and hope for all nations.

- (01:33-01:54) August 2nd 1964: USS Maddox attacked in Gulf of Tonkin; August 4th: second attack reported; August 7th: Gulf of Tonkin Resolution passed, authorizing military force without formal war declaration.

- (01:56-02:05) JFK emphasizes peace "not merely for Americans, but for all men and women. Not merely peace in our time. Peace in all time."

- (02:08-02:30) All-out war begins with Operation Rolling Thunder bombing campaign, escalating to over 200,000 U.S. combat troops by end of 1965.

- (02:31-02:54) Troop levels continue rising: over 400,000 in 1966 and 540,000 by 1968.

- (02:55-03:19) JFK calls peace "the necessary rational end of rational men," acknowledging pursuit of peace is "not as dramatic as pursuit of war" but represents "no more urgent task."

- (03:19-03:42) Private U.S. construction firms contracted to build infrastructure for Vietnam operations, eventually responsible for $1.9 billion in business.

- (03:42-04:16) JFK declares U.S. "will never start a war," stating "We do not want a war. We do not now expect a war" and calling for strategy of peace over annihilation.

- (04:16-04:22) Over 500 firms had Vietnam War contracts, with fifty having contracts worth over $100 million each.

- (04:23-04:32) Documentary recites having proven through forensics that shots were fired "from the front" in JFK assassination.

- (04:32-04:47) Narrator states president's wounds "did not match from Dallas to Bethesda" and chain of custody of the body was misrepresented.

- (04:49-05:08) States autopsy discrepancies and Warren Commission's discrediting of witnesses and evidence support "irrefutably, that there had been a coup in Camelot."

- (05:08-05:25) Douglas Horne argues conspiracy couldn't involve Mafia, Cubans, or Russians because they "didn't have custody of the body and the photographs and the X-rays."

- (05:25-05:32) States autopsy and records were controlled by "two organizations: the US Secret Service and the United States Navy."

- (05:32-05:53) Concludes that while those who would know are "all but gone," history reveals truths and "as long as there are those who ask the questions, there will be those who seek the answers."
