Conspiracy theories live on because of poor investigation. JFK death will

[patricia92243]

be nothing compared to what 9/11 conspiracy theories will be.

1. The WH did not even wanting an investigation at all.

2. Then forcing the investigation to an early conclusion instead of letting all the facts be presented.

3. Not letting main officials testify at all and others not under other.

THIS WILL BE THE BUSH LEGACY. IT WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY BOOKS FOREVER.

They have tried to make sure the Clinton legacy is bad. He will be forgotten in the mists of time, but the questions about the Bush cover-up will live forever.

Bush made a BIG mistake in not investigating this immediately and as thoroughly as humanly possible.

We Democrats WILL have the last the last laugh!!

1. Conspiracy theories abound because there are so many conspiracies.

2. Sounds similar to the Warren Commission, doesn't it?

3. This has the potential

to be far more honest in its conclusions than the Warren Ommission. It is more open, and has already allowed people like Clarke to tell the truth.

4. Only because of the Internet. Google is the great leveler.

We didn't have that in prior conspiracies. We did not have instant access to the work of researchers and authors and others. The government could easily coverup the facts with its control of the media, as they did with JFK.

5. The internet has obviously increased the speed.

But even in the case of the Warren Commission, the public generally knew it was crap. The information on the number of bullets that struck the president and governor was a "clue," not to mention the number of people who knew some shots came from the grassy knoll. And the Zapruder film's release -- which even an internet could not have changed at all -- destroyed any faith that the public may have had in the commission. There was plenty of information available even in the early 1960s to anyone willing to take a serious look at it. The most important thing is having people with an open mind, regardless of the tools (internet, tv, papers) that they use for research.

7. Who knew GHWB in 1963?

What I've learned on the BFEE is largely thanks to the Internet.

[H2O Man]

8. I suspect that most people

were entirely capable of understanding what happened in Dallas without knowing who GHWB was.

6. Same thing with Pearl Harbor, actually.

Do some research on the events that led up to Pearl Harbor, and you will find the same obfuscation, denial, and whitewash. Several commissions that kept dummying down the findings until they could pin the blame on two Admirals who didn't get a fair shake at all.

History repeats.

9. the Lusitania, in 1915...

i know it sounds ridiculous, but there is a pattern of radical, or concerned, elements of the ruling class deciding what THEY want is what the country's going to need, then working back from the objective. The british began using passenger liners to transport war materials in defiance of US law (and common decency) and with help from pro war faction within US gov resorted to forging, blackmail, outright lying and so on....the Germans of course knew all of it (one dirty trick that the Dulles bro's uncle and whitehouse bigwig Robert Lansing pulled off, was to prevent publication of a German sympathiser group's newspaper warning to anyone avoid using the Lusitania, as she was 'at war' and would be sunk etc) The scheme came off and the Lusitania was sunk, with 1100 lost, including 200 americans. During the 'hearings' staged to coverup the dirty deeds, the prowar side tried to blame the Lusitania captain and accidentally mention a cable directing the Lusitania to follow course where, surprise, a Uboat was known to be....the 'justice' chairing the hearing found out the gov had used forged telegrams etc...he exonerated the captain and the entire effort was wasted in that most knowlegable people in the news biz were aware the whole deal was evil. The US never got into the war until 2 years later, though the Lusitania lie was rolled out effectively (anyone went to school knows what them evil German did!)
The thing reading about Lusitania that is striking is the helpless rage an entire generation of germans must have felt, to be blamed for a crime that, as one US gov inquiry said, they would have commmitted NOT SINKING the Lusitania, which blew up and sank in 20 minutes (remember, a passenger liner with 2000 people aboard!)...
Adolph hitler almost certainly knew about the Lusitania. The US /british govs still keep secret some of the details about Lusitania. Allen and John Foster Dulles learned their tricks at uncles bob's house....and uncle bob was one of the bush family friends.
anyone want to read up on it, see Colin Simpson's 'Lusitania'
