(23,796 posts)Someone reproduced a quote or definition or something, can't remember who, but it came up in the course of my looking at all this JFK stuff again in the last few weeks. But basically it said that what else was governmental secrets but tyranny? And on the whole, I'd have to agree. Another book I read in the last couple of years called LBJ the first JFK conspiracy theorist, and I'd agree with that, too.
When it comes to things like 9/11 or JFK's assassination, I think they push so hard on the "official stories" because it's a liar seizing the truth and trying to pretend that's been them all along. And the extent of my concern here is the basic facts on the ground: Oswald acting alone, 19 Al-Qaeda members hijacking the planes and crashing them, etc. But Allen Dulles was a crooked son of a bitch, and so is Dick Cheney and George Bush. Dulles tried so hard to get Kennedy to start a war in Cuba, he got his ass fired.
You know, if you've read Asimov, and I'm sure you have, Kennedy seemed to be the kind of guy that waited for a Seldon crisis. When I look at all the evidence the "hawk" side and the "dove" side like to present, it just seems he was playing it down the middle and waiting until he had to take the next step. When were the Foundation novels published? I'll bet Kennedy was the first president who had ever read Asimov in American history...
I think I'm rambling.
