JFK Conference: James DiEugenio made clear how Foreign Policy changed after November 22, 1963

203. I used to believe in JFK CTs

Until I started reading these threads on DU about six years ago. That dude poster and a couple of others still around on this thread would clean house every fucking time.

It was like watching a kung fu movie of logic and fact against an army of JFK CT woo. Logic and fact would whoop ass and judo flip an army of swarming JFK CT woo. Sort of like they have on this thread.

Someone would say well what about this? And I'd be all like, yeah man what about that? BAM refuted! Well, what about these? Yeah man, what about those? BAM refuted. On and on and on it went. Finally some guy showed up with some really fine tuned analysis of the Zapruder film where you could actually see and MEASURE the FORWARD snap of the head and the CTers just could not deal with that evidence. Too much science.

In my case at least, your years long effort to convince everyone of a JFK assassination conspiracy here on DU has backfired as I now believe LHO acted alone that day in Dallas.

Further, I have come to see the fascination and devotion to facts that can't be proven as somewhat akin to a religion. Further still, I have come to view the behaviors of Americans who convene for national conferences to share their fascination and devotion to the mystery as an industry fueled by a middle class hobby not much different than a Star Trek convention or music festival.

What convinces me even more is your expressed hatred of people like me who do not share your opinion of the facts. I know if you had your way you would ban me from DU. You have said as much. That breaks my heart because I love and respect you and many of the DU posters on the CT side even though I think you are wrong about the facts.

I thank you for helping me seeing the evidence in a new light.

When people here on DU accused CT deniers of being CIA operatives, that was the final straw for me.

That and the repeated denial of the evidence that is piled up that says Oswald acted alone.

I guess I am in the CIA now too.
