Jesse Ventura's JFK Conspiracy Program

[James H. Fetzer]

Charles,

Haven't you seen it yet? Jesse defanged Bugliosi in a minute's time! Check it out.
It was astonishing to watch. Really! I doubt that Vince will ever recover from this.

This is not complicated.

I agree, Jack, that we must recognize and negotiate the uninitiateds' learning curves AND grab their attention by utilizing the same forms of communication that are currently doing the grabbing.

In other words, we must be propagandists -- my word, not yours.

But we must never misinform, misdirect, or stray over the line that separates elegantly simple presentations from simple-minded butcherings of the greater, deeper truths.

Ventura seems to be on the side of the angels. But he is relatively easy to lampoon and even demonize. To the great unwashed, the credentials of a lying Bugliosi trump those of a truth-telling Ventura.

My point? Let's not put all our eggs in Jesse's basket when it comes to media allies. And let's not overestimate his value or underestimate his potential liabilities.

Charles
