While not to try to mix this general thread with one on JFK, over the years I have become more and more convinced that JFK was murdered not only for specific policy / morality differences with others in power [both formal positions and positions not formally acknowledged], but because more generally he, as a person, was also undergoing paradigm shifts - as were many others increasingly just beginning to do. Some of this was forced upon him by his brushes with great stress [double-crosses by CIA and others] and deadly scenarios [Cuban Missile Crisis], etc. In his American University Speech he laid out a different vision/path/paradigm than was tolerable by the Unspeakable - a new vision/path/paradigm for a President and Nation that had been growing. Douglass does the best job of describing this blooming transformation of a human who happened to be the President and the effects of those changes on his fate and the fate of the Nation.
I believe that among his close associates Mary P. Meyers also was one of his fellow-travelers along this new path [with whom JFK smoked grass and apparently tried LSD and increasingly shared her/their views of moving toward Peace, not War; Love, not strife, etc.] For most of us here, who lived through the 60s/70s, those same changes came some years after the horror of Dallas. The same forces that killed JFK made sure that the paradigm shifting was stopped or limited to what was/is labeled as a lunatic fringe.
Who was sane and who crazy?!
