In a golden rectangle (golden section) divided into 6 squares within each of which appears: first in the largest, a scene depicting the assassination of the American president John F. Kennedy at the hands of two anonymous agents. In the following image planes representing nuclear weapons technology. The following box contains the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) eagle, parodied with the aesthetics of the villains of the Hollywood film STAR WARS. In the antepenultimate painting the silhouettes of the brothers John and Robert Kennedy, in attitude of orators in a political speech. In the penultimate box stereotyped symbols of the visual mass culture of the Texas region, a pistol, a cowboy hat, cowboy boots, and in the last frame the image of a member of the Ku Klux Klan enclosed in a prohibition symbol . This painting is inspired by the reopening of the Kennedy assassination case by New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison.
Anyone who has been the cause of the assassination of President Kennedy agrees with points of the thesis of Theodor Adorno authoritarian personality:

Conformism (conventionalism): adherence to the values of the middle class.
Submission to authority; Idealization of authority and exaggerated submission to those who hold it.
Aggressiveness; Tendency to punish individuals who do not accept or attack conventional values.
Rejection of those who show imagination and creativity (artists ...) opposition to the subjective, to introspection superstition and recourse to stereotypes: tendency to think rigid categories, belief in supernatural determination, destiny ...
Taste for power: concern for dominance, identification with the strong, excessive valuation of hardness.
Spirit of destruction and cynicism: hostility towards humanity.
Projectivity: tendency to project in the world and in others the own unconscious tendencies and to believe that in the outside world terrible and dangerous things happen.Conviction of deviant sexual practices: preoccupation exaggerated by sex.
