Introducing a new genre of television programming:
The Unreality Show.
The recent, much ballyhooed televised "trial" of Lee Harvey Oswald is nothing other than the latest in a seemingly endless series of theatrics designed to prolong the "debate" of an issue settled decades ago -- a debate that nourishes the uncertainty upon which the Sponsors and Facilitators of JFK's murder depend for hegemonic and personal survival.
As I have written elsewhere:
The long-term protection of the Sponsors of JFK's murder and the power structure they embody relies not upon the creation of an overwhelming consensus of opinion in support of the Lone Nut lie. On the contrary: It is the maintenance of uncertainty the fashionable post-modern conclusion that we can never really know anything about existence that provides ultimate security for the few who control the many.
Put another way: The Sponsors' goal is not to settle debate or stifle debate, but rather to prolong debate.
Keep us fighting among ourselves.
Indefinitely.
Yet so many of those who should know better eagerly glue themselves to the computer screen, choose a "side" in the "trial," and hang on every word.
Fifty years later, and we're playing Perry Mason games.
I continue to extol the effectiveness of art -- including theater -- as one of the most potent weapons in the war against John Kennedy's murderers. See JFK for a prime example. Weaponized art attacks the mind and the heart and ultimately bends the will. See Triumph of the Will for a prime example.
And so it is for those of us who embrace this aspect of art appreciation to outdo the enemy as shapers of public opinion. Noam Chomsky has observed that propaganda is to a democracy what violence is to a dictatorship. Our appeals must be to the hearts and minds in that order of the people. And so we await -- and a few of us work to create -- the next JFK.
Understand then that this "trial" is propaganda-as-theater in service to the JFK cover-up, pure and simple. And the only effective counter is to expose it as such while refusing to act like soap opera junkies hanging on every word.
Any other response to this filth amounts to the provision of aid and comfort to the enemy.
And don't think for a nanosecond that such a production helps to educate the masses and move them toward understanding of the truth of conspiracy. The only lesson being taught here is of the "we can never really know" variety.
Anyone with reasonable access to the evidence in this case who does not conclude that a criminal conspiracy resulted in the murder of John Fitzgerald Kennedy is cognitively impaired and/or complicit in the crime.
Try that!
