A GLANCE BACK

(This art piece is a simulation of the chaotic, final moments of the life and death of our 35th President. It is done with a sorta Jackson Pollack abandon/drippiness of shimmering, colliding acrylics that blend like unmitigating events in Dealey Plaza, and some fragmented photographs are buried underneath...various ones are of JFK & others are of the very Claude Bovee himself? This is a self-portrait of sorts, as all Americans were metamorphosized by the Assassination. The obfuscation is a fitting metaphor for the random (& at times premeditated) chaos that prevailed during the hurley-burley, or cascading, out-of-control events, surely from the pages of the Darkest Weekend in American History heretofore-11/22-11/24/1963.)


In the hazy mist of the grainy 16 millimeter Nix film, two men stack boxes on the Sixth Floor of the Texas School Book Depository. The night before powerful men meet to finalize plans to preserve the Military Hierarchy. Behind the picket fence a fake-construction worker assembles a sophistocated Swiss rifle to exact a head-shot to the 35th. Rogue CIA agents are positioned throughout Dealey Plaza to quickly bully witnesses after the shooting, and to manipulate the evidence to appear as something different. Oswald himself, the night before, sees one scenario, but it is completely changed on Friday, when he is victimized to take the fall. Even Jack Ruby knows more of the particulars, and begins to sweat profusely on Friday afternoon, when he gets a call from Chicago with ominous orders for his role in FATE. The Dallas police are alerted that he must have ample access to their building in order to do what he must. The details of what must happen are carefully gone over so that no stone is left unturned. Little do they know, but many of the people who see too much will meet with accidents after the incident. When the Motorcade goes by, the Plaza resounds with rifle fire, Oswald`s hair stands on end as he realizes the cunning of his fake-confederates! He flees the TSBD and catches a bus; a witness actually sees him in shock and hair very disheveled. Even today the History Channel pulls all the conspiracy specials, and only single-bullet-theory/neo-pro-Warren Commission ones are shown. The cover-up is finalized-case is finally closed. Just watch the chilling tape of Jack Ruby saying the stakes are just too high, the men who did this are just too powerful, for the American public to ever know the truth.
