Whose idea was it to put Allen Dulles on the Warren Commission? Robert Kennedy's.

8. No. I despise made up shit being presented as fact, especially when the facts are well known.

And there's a reason why JFK/9-11/Apollo/UFO/Velikovski/etc/etc/etc is not normally tolerated as topics in DU GD threads. We've seen why this past week or two when the admins, for whatever reason allowed that monster to resurrect.

The conspiracy theorists have no facts beyond their fervent belief that the conspiracy exists. Therefore any evidence that supports Oswald as the sole shooter becomes part of the ever self-swallowing conspiracy. This is nothing more than a brazen attempt, for ideological reasons whose goals lie outside politics and likely within some psychological need, to dismiss evidence in the face of the utter horror of what happened that day. Such horror cannot have happened because of some loser. It had to be some supergenius conspiracy.

Alas, history is messy. And alas, many assassination attempts (successful or not) were done by loner, wacky individuals. Look at history for other exemplars. Garfield, McKinley, MLK, RFK, Ford, and Reagan. All committed without conspiracy, by loonie toons. Just like JFK. History is messy. Shit happens. The world was profoundly affected by the JFK assassination. But making shit up just because you don't like what all the evidence says, is wrong. History is what history is.

Let JFK lie in peace. It's not how he died. It's what t he lived for, and the image he projected well beyond his short 1,000 days.

All the rest is rubbish. And the conspiracy theories about his death belong at the bottom of the sewage heap.

Skinner! Return these posts to the Creative Speculation forum. Where they belong.
