We can thank Cass Sunstein (husband of arch criminal Samantha Power) for developing and implementing the idea that you can divert attention from a scandal by calling it a conspiracy theory, putting it in the category of obviously weird things like a flat earth or aliens.

I didn't know that Crooks trained at an Alabama government shooting range. As far as I was aware, he spent his entire life in Pennsylvania, where there are plenty of shooting ranges. There were reports of a second gunman, who was identified as a member of Antifa.

Are even the Marines trustworthy, at least at the senior officer level?

If, indeed, LHO was the lone assassin, etc, then why would the CIA keep thousands of pages still classified for years after it was supposed to be declassified?

End of story. They either did it themselves, arranged it to be done by others, or know who did it in a way that conflicts with the official narrative. In any of these cases, criminal actions or criminal concealment of actions definitely occurred.

I may be going out on a limb here, but

Gee ain't it funny, how time just slips away.

Willie Nelson - 1997 - Funny How Time Slips Away

The Persistence of Memory, 1931, Salvador Dalí

The Persistence of Star Trek:

William Shatner turns 94 (b. March 22, 1931)

The Persistence Of Conspiracy Theories:

He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times? (Matthew 16:2-3)

My question is “So what?” Let’s say there were three assassins in the depository. It is probable they are all dead by now. But does it really matter at this point in time? No.

Investigating conspiracy theories - of which there are plenty - is a complete waste of time. Why? Because they are unprovable to those poor souls who run around obsessed with them.

“Investigating conspiracy theories - of which there are plenty - is a complete waste of time.”

You may have a point—but that raises a puzzling issue.

Why do the elites bother to spend decades and decades covering up stuff if as you say it is “a complete waste of time”?

Yes, that is it exactly, although the alien thing is no longer in the flat earth category.

” because such a large group could never hope to keep the secret”

“That’s how a conspiracy works.

Them boys on the grassy knoll they were dead within three hours.

Buried in the damn desert, Unmarked graves out past Terlingua.

And you know this for a fact?

Still got the shovel.”

There was a press conference yesterday—watch the State Department spokesperson dodge and weave:

Apparently the “crazy conspiracy theory” has struck a nerve—even today.
