What's past is prologue" is a quotation by William Shakespeare from his play The Tempest. Antonio uses it to suggest that all that has happened before that time, the "past," has led Sebastian and himself to this opportunity to do what they are about to do: commit murder.

In contemporary use, the phrase stands for the idea tthat history sets the context for the present. The quotation is engraved on the National Archives Building in Washington, D.C. andis commonly used by the military when discussing the similarities between war throughout history.

JFKcountercoup: AARC Letter to US Archivist jfkcountercoup.blogspot.com The Assassination Archives and Research Center (AARC), in a letter dated January 20, 2012, requested that the National Archives and the CIA... release some 50,000 pages relating to the JFK assassination that remain withheld in full from the public, as well as an undisclosed number of partially deleted records. The letter maintains that release of such records well before the 50th anniversary of the assassination on November 22, 2013, is essential to having a full and robust national discussion of this event and its significance. The working group that produced the AARC's letter consisted of three AARC Board Members and two leading attorneys who have a profound interest in the subject. The letter was also signed by Professor G. Robert Blakey, the former Chief Counsel of the House Select Committee on Assassinations.
