If the threat-driven censorship you describe actually took place, then we can understand the deep political significance of Ventura's embrace of St. John Hunt and his father's "confession."
E. Howard Hunt's deathbed description of the plot to kill JFK is the bastard's final masterpiece of disinformation -- a limited hangout that cherrypicks well-known suspects and motives and relies for acceptance upon a combination of argument from (false) authority and the sympathies aroused by the tragic circumstance of a dying father baring his soul to his son.
Ventura accepts and touts it.
Ventura is censored.
The message: Ventura had exposed one of the deepest of deep political secrets, and he must be stopped before he can do more damage.
Nearly 48 years have passed, and they still play us for suckers.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
