excellent ! ! !

the rationalist anti-conspiracy conspirators to the rescue! many of the anti-conspiracy canards are trotted out for display, the usual tired reasoning and fact-free speculating are proffered; its all so neat and tidy, why oh why did i ever doubt the gummint's word...

(um, maybe because a smart citizen should ALWAYS doubt the gummint's 'word'; and the bigger and more secretive the issue, the bigger the lies they will fabricate...)

1. *sigh* the 'argument' that -you know- *some* people just can't 'accept' the golden boy of camelot was brought down by the grubby hand of a lone neuter loser, is -besides not really being an 'argument'- simply absurd... k-k-k-konspiracy TRUTH seekers are amply capable of believing that political assassinations happen for *all* kinds of reasons by *all* kinds of parties...

unfortunately, it is the contrary viewpoint which is naive and simplistic: that political assassinations are -goshies- generally the work of lone fringe characters, and don't not nebber ebber hardly involve nobody who is anybody, especially benevolent spookdom)...

2. another 'argument' on display is 'i read a book oncedest, and i believe it...' der der der, time to eat another power booger... fine and dandy, my little propaganda victims, is there anything you can actually CITE as convincing you of the lone nut scenario ? nope, 'i just read a book oncedest...'

further, there are a number of k-k-k-konspiracy tomes that are equally/more convincing than poseur and the bug, have you read them as well ? ? ? oops...

3. the timeworn 'argument' that 'conspirators just can't keep k-k-k-konspiracies secret' is not only provably false, but simply childish on the face of it... A. uh duh, ever hear of the manhattan project ? well, no, not at the time (and for decades afterwards) you didn't... yet it involved TENS OF THOUSANDS of individuals (many of them loose cannons and crazy scientist types)... B. ever hear of operation northwoods ? probably not, because you still think that the US gummint is both a monolithic 'ethical' entity which can do no wrong, and also keeps a detailed audit trail of all their black ops... C. many people who do the bidding of a k-k-k-konspiracy, are neither motivated as a member, nor aware of any conspiracy at all, they are just doing their jobs... it only takes a few key people to steer an organization this way or that; it only takes an insider to know who/how to 'turn' a black op from one target to another... its all so compartmentalized, one spook doesn't know what the adjacent spook is doing...

4. wheels within wheels, and levels within levels, kampers... spooks *purposefully* strew deadends, red herrings, and false leads *everywhere* to keep any potential bloodhounds off the scent... it is SOP... further, the CIA HAS put out memos of HOW TO DEBUNK JFK conspiracy 'stories', AND has known assets (oh, including priscilla, by the way) who write WHATEVER bullshit the CIA wants them to... hmmm, wonder why...

5. to the deadeye dick who went to the school book depository and averred just how simple and easy the shot was, you are so wrong as to be laughable... A. it was not an 'easy' shot by any stretch.. numerous feebs and other worldclass shots COULD NOT replicate the feat under virtually any circumstances... there are a NUMBER of widely recognized snipers and experts who could not replicate the feat, AND who claim it is all but impossible for a non-marksman like lee to accomplish... B. if you were there, then perhaps -in spite of the other 'easy' shot- you can explain why the sniper *didn't* take the INFINITELY 'easier' shot onto houston street when there would have been an unobstructed view, the motorcade coming towards you, *AND* much shorter, less steep angle to contend with... please enlighten us, hotshot...

6. no, its not the overwhelming evidence, etc which convinces most people of what went down that day; they are guided by both their ignorance of the horrors 'our' (sic) gummint DOES DO, and their blind faith that surely, no one in our gummint would ever do anything that evil, surely...

...surely not...

*exactly* why NOT educating our citizenry to ALL THE EVIL 'our' (sic) gummint HAS perpetrated, eventuates with ignorant sheeple who know nothing, (and are too scared to want to know)...
