“JFK was murdered as the result of a conspiracy and the folks responsible for the Warren Commission report ought to be held in disgrace for ever.”
This stuff would be quite funny if it wasn’t a serious subject.
Anyway, in my humble opinion Earl Warren, whatever you think of his liberal jurisprudence ( and I don’t care for it ), was a gentleman of the old school. When his own father was murdered he, as Alameda county prosecutor, let the only suspect go due to insufficient evidence. Chief Justice Warren would never have participated in a cover-up of Kennedy’s murder, and neither would Gerald Ford, Richard Russell (who expressed his doubts in the final report), and the other eminent gentlemen who participated in the commission. And it’s also hard for me to imagine Attorney General Robert Kennedy saying and doing nothing about a cover-up of his own brother’s murder.
We live in an age in which it has become extremely difficult to distinguish fact from fiction, reality from fantasy. As Michael Crichton has noted, we live in the age of disinformation.
Yep, more people today prefer to believe lies than truth, even when they witness an event with their own eyes, as most people on the planet with access to a TV did on 9/11/01.
If the powers that be demand that you play their game
or else they will cause you and every living relative you have to disappear from the face of the earth . . .
it tends to get one’s attention.
And that’s assuming that you weren’t philosophically on board with their agenda to begin with.
