My sentiments exactly. We all complain that the general public is not well informed, that they don't know the details and revelations of the last 20 years but we complain how thw likes of Bugliosi, O'Reilly et al are well known and reach a wide audience. If we don't make the conferences available to a world wide audience instead of a select few, then we remain marginilized and mocked as conspiracy theorists. Plus more people will buy more books from the good researchers instead of bying crappy books that make the NY Times best sellers.
COPA is always on the internet - usually live, or a day after. I don't know about Lancer. The Wecht conference, it seems, is NOT and will be only available by purchasing a DVD at sometime in the future. Sad, really...... Even COPA, which makes its speakers freely available, doesn't do much to see that it is picked up by alternative news organizations, blogs, internet shows, etc.
The best thing that could happen this year is some BIG altercation in the Plaza with the Police and City keeping those with alternative views [Conspiracy! - the word that dare not speak its name in Dallas!] from access - and that making US and International news...THEN maybe people will 'tune in to' the COPA talks and some of the better books.....I think such an event is likely in Dallas this year; and we need to be prepared to use it to inform the uninformed. This is the BIG one [the 50th] and next year won't have the same impact and some of us won't be around a whole lot longer.....we've already lost many of the good researchers, witnesses and many who should have been in the 'Dock' of Justice.
