General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy believed President Kennedy was killed by a conspiracy. [View all]nyquil_man
(1,443 posts)I will refer to it as "the pet theory" in order to avoid any confusion with your actual opinions.
Come on, though. You're trying to slip out of presenting an alternative theory of the assassination by throwing out another smokescreen about filtered evidence and by tossing an ad hominem about narrow-mindedness.
My narrow-mindedness is this: We have not been having this discussion for all this time because someone wanted President Kennedy dead. We have been having it because someone killed him. A million people or a million groups of people may have wanted him dead. If someone had not killed him, all that wanting would have been no more than wishful thinking.
Would you want to be convicted of a crime solely on the implication that you wanted the crime to occur?
I assumed that, given your speculation about the various motives behind the assassination, you would want to offer up a theory of how the event itself happened. The CIA's assassination activities in other countries, not to mention organized crime's history, might offer clues as to how the people in the pet theory would have gone about carrying out the assassination. I assumed that, given your frequent mentions of Oswald's involvement with the CIA, you would have developed an opinion as to what involvement Oswald might or might not have had.
Instead you imply that most of the evidence of what happened in Dealey Plaza can't be trusted.
Are you even sure JFK was shot?
