In other words rare events contain more information than common events.
The JFK assassination is a very rare event so it should contain a LOT of information and I'd say that anybody thats looked into it can see thats true.
{sigh}
In the world of that time, with the cast of characters we KNOW were involved... this was not so rare an event - the killing of a person of importance standing in the way of our fight against Communism (and the expansion of the desires of the USA to control the drug, oil and weapons industries of the world).
When one strips away the moutain of BS info related to the investigation and that left by the conspirators to bog us down for years... It was really a quite simple thing, with a quite simple plan.
There was a conspiracy... 100% probability... so that in turn would mean next to no information related to that conspiracy SHOULD be found.. inverse proportion to 100% is 0% isn't it?
The RARE part of the event is the Lone Nut part.. next to 0% probability for THAT with TONS of info content (per Salandria)
Guess we have to define the EVENT we are referring to..

While we're sighing:
The regicide of John Fitzgerald Kennedy stands as one of history's rarest events. It is properly considered within the context of the murders of the Gracchi brothers, Jesus Christ, Lincoln, Gandhi, and King.
Which is to say that while the "fight against Communism (and the expansion of the desires of the USA to control the drug, oil and weapons industries of the world)" clearly motivated many of the Facilitators of JFK's assassination, they likely were of small concern to the Sponsors.
Failure to recognize, study, and come to grips with these very deep deep political truths virtually guarantees that contemporary inabilities to define and bring about justice in this case will be in place come the 100th anniversary of November 22, 1963.
As for your assessment of the assassination conspiracy as "a quite simple thing, with a quite simple plan" ... Well then by all means share with us, in the small space you'll apparently need, the full story.
Because with all due respect I must note, David, that that statement of yours shatters credulity into a thousand pieces and scatters it to the winds.

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.
