50. You say that as if it was a bad thing.

I met dozens of authorities at "Passing the Torch: An International Symposium on the 50th Anniversary of the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy" at Duquesne University and reported on what they said. Did you see any of that mentioned on your tee vee? Did your local newspaper cover the conference? I doubt it.

Why does my sharing what I learned with DU bother you? Don't you want to know about the death of President Kennedy? You should. President Kennedy worked every day in office to keep the peace, got us started to the moon, and promoted prosperity of the New Deal through the New Frontier. IMFO, warmongers in high office, possibly including US government employees, murdered him and covered it up afterward.

As for the CIA and the murder of the Venezuelan politician, no that's not what I wrote. Those are words you falsely attribute to me. That, also, is a sign of a character assassin, Dreamer Tatum.
