42. The assignation of JFK was the genesis of the CT meme.

And the CT tool is powerful...just think, all you need to do to fool people is have an official story, like created by the Warren commission and if anyone questions it call them a CT nut, and claim they also believe in reptilian aliens taking over the world.
And it has worked for decades now, and even here on a progressive board you will be shut down with the CT label if you question any official story.
And once they got away with it on JFK there was nothing they could not do and get away with ...no matter if people saw it with their own eyes they would be afraid to say anything for fear of the ridicule they would face.

Yep it will be Pierce under the buss because otherwise you have to face the fact that you have been manipulated and controled...and who wants that?
