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

32. Well, I agree in principle with your post.

But the JFK assassination has gone way past principle in its 50 years. It's gone into la-la land, where any and all conjectures are equally fair game. After all, I'm only asking questions! And there are plenty of questions unanswered.

Nope. Not true. There are always plenty of questions, so the JFK assassination is not alone in this. What is important is not the questions -- because one can create many unanswerable ones as one desires -- it's the facts. Therein lies the truth beneath the JFK assassination, whatever that might be.

But here's the one observable fact beneath JFK conspiracy advocates. The facts make no difference in their theories, whatever they are, never revealed.

Okay! Oswald didn't shoot JFK. Who did?
Crickets.

Okay! You agree that Oswald shot JFK, but he had help/coercion/etc. Who did that?
Crickets.

The crickets are often filled by CIA/Mafia/Cuba/CCCP/KGB/Allen Dulles/George HW Bush/LBJ/etc, or maybe Tiny Tim "Tiptoeing through the fucking tulips" no doubt. He'd need a time machine to accomplish it if he wanted to get er done before his wedding on Johnnie Carson, but I think that's at least a plausible hypothesis as the others I've seen here. Maybe it's too bad that there was no cable news to cover it. Certainly they would have been all over the Tiny Tim hypothesis. Or maybe Elvis, no doubt. Portrayed for all future generations on velvet.

That's what I think of JFK assassination conspiracy theories. They are all like Elvis paintings on velvet. Or Tiny Tim. Lots of presentation with no substance.
