In reply to the discussion: (Nov. 22) Do you believe the Warren Commission JFK assassination report? [View all]bucolic_frolic
(44,187 posts)All the conspiracy theories can't be wrong. It was a coverup but we still don't know who or why, other than the Warren Commission was supposed to end the speculation and the digging. Some things are too controversial to air publicly. Capital's support of the Nazi regime pre-war didn't really leak until the 1960s or the 1980s, and there were still more revelations 20 years later. Governments have things to cover up. Friendly fire and accidents during wartime. Deals made for political reasons where there were no good choices. Deals made with arch enemies. It's not just the US government, it's all of them sooner or later. Machiavelli was so right about the power of the State. He'd seen it all with the Medicis.
I'll throw this out for consideration, as an example. Allies may well have lost WWII without it. At critical points, Winston Churchill had some very unsavory answers to gain an edge for Allied governments and forces. It was all developed off the books so to speak. There was a war to be won.

I've not followed the JFK subject closely. I never saw Oliver Stone's film. But this one film from schoolteacher Francis Richard Conolly provided theories that covered all the bases of doubt as far as I can tell. They may not be correct, but the leaks are plugged.
