Forty-Four Years After Dallas-The Mystery Thickens

Speaking of Vincent Bugliosi, the post prior to this one reminded me of this post on the Smirking Chimp, in which John Chuckman takes apart Bugliosi's book about the Kennedy assassination, "Reclaiming History", which he calls a "prosecutor's brief", attesting that it's huge volume is in itself an indictment against its veracity.

I tend to agree with him. I don't usually lend myself to conspiracy theories, not even the fun ones-well, okay, especially the fun ones. Still, that old saying "where there's smoke there's fire" makes a lot of sense in cases like this one.

Unfortunately, the current scam perpetrated by the people who want to keep the lid on the events of Dallas Texas 44 years ago is obvious. According to them, the only people who believe in a conspiracy to assassinate President Kennedy are the same folks who believe in alien spacecraft in hangars in New Mexico, and that the United States government was purposely responsible for 9/11.

In other words, shut the fuck up or they'll make sure you're tagged as being as big a loon as-well, as the guy who may actually have been responsible for the conspiracy that killed Kennedy.

Of course, that's just my own loony conspiracy theory.
