Jayna hung around here a bit back in the day when her book came out.
Answers to conspiracy theories tend to open up a lot of side issues, and when I asked her point blank, why would George Bush maintain the fiction (which she alleged), her answer was to read the book.
Except that the question isn’t answered in her book.
I was 5 in ‘63, and my dad died the same year. I became a pretty avid reader of the JFK conspiracy stuff, maybe as a result, who knows. They all suffered from the same thing Jayna’s theories suffer from. They all rely on speculations that require leaps of faith too far for me to jump. JMO.
