times, and the penchant for screwing people over anonymously on the internet, one never knows the agenda
behind websites or posters. NSA has time on its hands and a huge amount of money to spend, seemingly. Paid political hacks must be doing great "behind the scenes" work. Obama is a sensational boogieman all over the internet. It's crazy.
However, I would not lump those who doubt the Warren Commission and the 911 Commission in with Apollo landings garbage.
There are good reasons to doubt that gov't appointed commissions do nothing but try to soothe rattled citizens who have been and continue to be perfectly capable of stating valid reasons for unanswered questions that remain. Many of those citizens are professionals clearly stating the reasons to doubt.
As for assassinations, there continues to be skepticism about motives and lack of transparency, not just about our own CIA, NSA, but
any organization, at home or internationally, where lack of transparency rules the day.
Longship, do you forget Iran Contra? If this hadn't been exposed, it could be another "CT", just one example.
But then, who knew the likes of Wm. Binney would corroborate what Snowden revealed, or that "CT" isn't just for the unknown posters, apparently whistleblowers get run through the garbage mill exposing the truth, apparently some are too entrenched in the system, too well respected and have first hand knowledge for TPTB to get away with ruining reputation.
I don't think everything questioned should be relegated to the basement, but I do not dictate DU policy. We would be fools to believe there are not untold skeletons in the closets of all countries that have not seen the light of day. The great cover of national security is abused, a blanket, a wonderful tool.
Personally, I think people should never stop asking questions, a return to accountability is long overdue.
