Culture Wars, 1963-Style

I have a modest collection of ephemera from different periods in recent history. This piece I got from material collected by the Warren Commission after the assassination of President Kennedy. The handbill was circulating in Texas, attached to telephone poles and other vertical surfaces in Dallas prior to November 22, 1963. As you can see, it accuses a sitting U.S. President of treason and provides an ideological inventory of other purported betrayals.
