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.
