[Albert Rossi]

I have always hated the term "conspiracy buff". For one thing it sounds like some passing fancy. Hardly. I too favor John Judge's terms. Sad that one has to resort to terms but the stark reality is that most are unaware that the media is controlled. I find it an interesting paradox that most Americans believe JFK was assassinated by a conspiracy but when I talk to people, in particular my peers at work, they have never read a thing about this case. So is this belief that they were lied to based on instinct? I think that might make an interesting book, or study. Just questioning a ton of people who don't study this stuff, never read a book, etc as to just why they do not believe the official story. But then mention to people that the brilliant Rachel Maddow LIES one is is met with a look that let's me know the listener believes me quite mad.
Since 1973 I have tried to educate my best friend from college about the assassination. He adored JFK. He's very political, via MSM. When some new issue is proven, like Vietnam and JFK and I tell him his reply is this is MY view. That the author is merely writing what I believe. He is the best example of Dr Marty Schotz' "denial" that I know. And therein lies the problem. For people to accept truth they must totally readjust all that they think they know.
Then we get PBS pushing the lie. But try telling people we lack a free press. I do and have forever. Guess what I hear back? "What about Woodward and Bernstein?" Ye gads.

Dawn, I feel your pain. There has always been something curious about all of this business concerning how Americans don't believe the WR. For instance, I had occasion to watch the 1992 Garrison interviews a few weeks back, which were introduced by the statistic that more than half of those polled believed the CIA was involved in the assassination. But in my personal experience, I have yet to meet anyone who has said this to me. I'm usually the nut who believes in conjectural fantasies. I don't trust opinion polls, especially those used by MSM (it's like that statistic TV and Hollywood has repeatedly mouthed concerning how 95% of humanity believes in "God"; where in tarnation did they ever get that figure?). So when I hear these statistics, 85%, 80%, etc., I tend to ignore them. Besides, merely asking if someone believes there was a conspiracy in the death of JFK is pretty meaningless, other than they don't think "Oswald did it alone". What is the significance of this conspiracy to them? That's the question they are never asked. Very few people, in my opinion, see the assassination "conspiracy" in larger structural or institutional terms; it's still a blip on the radar screen for them, like some UFO sighting.
