A nobody
patsy picked by our own, then taken out by our own. Jack Ruby was hand picked to do his part too I feel. After years of reading on this and all the conspiracy theories out there, my opinion is JFK was just too powerful and
many felt he posed a threat. Our own government, the mafia (
an apple that doesn't fall far from the tree) and other countries included. Remember how he almost pushed the red button? Even outside of the White House his family was all powerful. I really don't see Oswald acting alone.
All IMHO of course.
That's why it is so easy to sell conspiracy theories; like religion, people WANT to believe.
LBJ/Mafia/RFK killed JFK.
Elections are rigged simply to placate the masses.
Obama didn't win. He was chosen.
Dubbya didn't win. He was chosen.
We didn't land on the moon
FDR knew about Pearl Harbor and let it happen so we could go to war
The sad, boring truth, most of the time, is the obvious; someone ####ed up. Someone else had too much to lose to let it be that simple. Someone who wanted to be someone who had too much to lose went along with it.
I mean, look at the lies parents tell their kids. It's for the greater good. As they see it. And there is a case to be made for it. I was open and honest with my kids about smoking dope as a kid. They both at least tried it. One of them struggles with it. Some people dear to me lied their asses off to their kids and they have the best kids imaginable.
We all can probably figure out something we wish we were never told.
I have a dear friend, a woman, who told me that Bill Clinton was doing the right and honorable thing by lying to Hillary; "What women, baby? There ain't no one but you, sugar!"
Wall Street is nothing but lies. A legal confidence game. All the leveraging is based on lies. More specifically, enough people believing the lies. Social Security is a Ponzi scheme.
The TEA party opposes government controlled health care spending like the ACA and supports the government controlled health care spending we had before it.
Lincoln did NOT go to war to end slavery.
Bush told a half truth (aka a whole lie) about WMD to do what he believed was in the national interest.
Most of us work in environments where you go along to get along, ignoring waste, fraud and abuse and rationalizing it as the done thing.
The mafia can't fail if everyone keeps their mouth shut.
The IRS scandals, Watergate, spying on the media, Benghazi, Clinton's affairs, if everyone plays ball, it's all good.
Baseball pretended they'd never heard of steroids when it, finally, became impossible to ignore and the press did the same thing. Players did what they did gambling everyone would just go along.
BP got away with horrible rules violations in the Gulf spill because too many people had too much to lose if they actually had to pay for what they did wrong.
TARP was ALL about hanging together or hanging apart.
The GM bailouts, Ford had to go along even though they didn't need it.
Our troops have been working, and dying, for the Saudi's for over a decade.
The church protected pedophile priests for the greater good.
We're protecting heroin lords in A'stan.
