both Democratic and Republican administrations acting in cooperation with each other have hidden these facts.
By similar logic, there were no stolen FBI files because
there could never be cooperation.
Amen...

> but there are no successful hidden conspiracies. I cannot think of one in my lifetime.)
Freemasonry anyone? or The Illuminati? The 5 Jewish Bankers? Pinky & The Brain? The Bonesmen? /s
Maybe..but Oswald was exactly the type to try to assassinate a political leader. Inexplicably grandiose.. fanatical..his whole life seemed to be about getting some recognition using the most pathetic means, probably because he was so mediocre they were the only means he had.
bttt - Such mentalities are quite accurately psychoanalyzed here:

One historian, I wish I could remember who, made the analogy that the Holocaust made sense — it was a great crime, conducted by a mighty gang of criminals.
The JFK assassination, on the other hand, doesn’t have that kind of symmetry; how could a crime that so deeply affected so many be the act of one lone dips-—t?
No one questions that Charles Guiteau acted alone in killing President Garfield, or that Leon Czolgosz acted alone in killing President McKinley, because neither of those men inspired as many people as Kennedy did.
Lincoln’s assassination was indeed the product of a small conspiracy, one that saw Booth shot and six of his confederates (pun intended) hanged. But it was a conspiracy that largely failed — the plan was to decapitate the government by killing the president and cabinet, but most of his comrades flaked out, and at the end of the day only Lincoln was dead and Seward injured.
Conspiracy theories rise from emotional needs more than cold reason. We want to believe in supervillains. Sherlock Holmes needs a Professor Moriarty. Looking at the horror of 9/11, we don’t want to believe that it could be the work of nineteen idiots with box-cutters, no matter how much help they had in funding and planning.
But history is like that. Terror comes from where we don’t expect it, BECAUSE we don’t expect it. They know that.
“The Truth?......You can’t handle the truth!”
We haven’t and never will live in a world of FULL DISCLOSURE.
Some are true, some are partly true, and some are not true at all. You can not say all are not true.
Let's take the current immigration bill. If you got a room full of ordinary Americans together and went through the provisions in this bill. They would be astounded. Why would anyone propose such a destructive action?
There is no good reason for it, so one is likely to come up with a conspiracy theory.
Specifically, in the JFK murder case, the Dallas PD had interviewed Oswald for a period of a couple of hours. No recording was made, no notes were taken. Why? Oswald had suspicious connections to US and possibly KGB intelligence services. This was kept covered up. The investigation was bungled in other ways. The crime scene of JFK's limo was cleaned by the Secret Service. Why? Why was JFK's body hijacked by the Secret Service and taken to Bethesda for the autopsy? Lot's of inexplicable actions with no good explanations given.
This has been a trait in Humans since the Snake (Satan) told Adam and Eve that God was not telling them the truth about the Tree of Life.
What is different is that now days conspiracies are fed by the world wide web. At the speed of light news about deadly toilet spiders, AIDS needles on theater seats, Microsoft giveaways if you forward this to 10 people, The new North American Flag, and even Hogzilla. With this new technology, we all have to examine these stories more carefully before we panic and send it to everyone we know.
I think that's the biggest reason. It's cool to "know" something that no one else knows.
I got called a conspiracy theorist a LOT during the Clinton years. I didn’t and don’t believe the official stories about Vincent Foster, Flight 800, or Oklahoma City.
But 9/11 is in a totally different category. If the official version of things is not true, you are left with the question of what happened to the four planes that were hijacked that day and their passengers. Too much has to be explained away.
My rule is to go with whatever does the least violence to Occam’s Razor. Much of the time that means going with the official version. But sometimes its the conspiracy theory.
The reason people believe in conspiracies is that the reptilian shape-shifters who control the CFR have implanted them in our butts using microchips.
Much that goes on is kept hidden and out of sight. That's how it has always been and how it will always be. The ones who need to concern themselves with conspiracies are Kings and Sultans and autocratic rulers of Venezuela who sometimes find themselves dumped out of their cozy palaces with no warning.
Large numbers of people can keep some secrets, or at least keep knowledge from most people. Lots of people who voted for FDR didn’t know he was half paralyzed. Until recently, powerful politicians could live scum-bag lives and the press wouldn’t let the cat outta the bag, even though it was well known to them. The vast majority of Americans were stunned when they first saw the stealth bomber.
Can large numbers of people keep a secret forever? The only way to know for sure is to be one of the secret keepers.
Freegards
They tell of seeing a head wound that was considerably different from the one officially documented and photographed. What they tell of is an entry wound in the right-front of the skull, and a massive blowout exit wound in the back, the opposite of what is traditionally described and ascribed to Oswald's Mannlicher-Carcano, fired from the right-rear and above.
The claim then is that the photos we have seen were either "doctored" or more likely just faked to fit the single gunman circumstances. I've not seen these testimonies mentioned, much less debunked, by any of the new single gunman theory books. Am I correct, or have I missed crucial evidence that debunks this aspect of the story?
bump.
However, as non-falsifiable hypotheses, they are pretty much useless, except as mental m*st@rb&tion
