Why is it so important for some people that the Kennedy assassination

Hell, most of these Warren Commission cheerleaders probably don't even know that the first director of the FBI held that position from 1924 until he died in 1972 -- 48 freaking years, and in many respects was more powerful that most of the SEVEN Presidents who held the nominally top position during his reign.

This country has been a crooked, corrupt place its entire history. It doesn't take any imagination at all to think that there might be powerful interests that would be willing to knock off a brash, young, charismatic, but "unreliable if you know what I mean" President if that was the best way to retain their control over power and wealth.

The burden of proof was on the Government. They did not made their case. Simple as that. 62% of the people today disbelieve the Warren report, which is remarkable considering that half the country wasn't even alive then. The Warren story is utterly implausible on any level. That doesn't get us any closer to knowing the whole truth, but it is preposterous to start with the assumption that the Warren Commission was anything more than a show. Even many of those who had good reason to believe that there was much more to the story than met the eye feared for what could happen if America's dark underbelly were exposed. It was the ultimate "You can't handle the truth" moment.

And with regard to the various other theories, no doubt some of them were planted by the government in order to discredit "conspiracy theories" in a blanket way. Disinformation has been S.O.P. for a long time.
