CNN: Maybe CIA killed JFK. America OK with it?

[Lauren Johnson]

My prediction, and I posted it here some months ago, is that the 50th anniversary of JFK's murder would be used to introduce the idea that the CIA did it and it saved America be doing it. We are now moving closer to that moment.

CNN has run out some "expert", Dave Perry,"a 70-year-old retired former insurance claims adjuster from Massachusetts, has been digging through JFK assassination records since 1976 to address those skeptics." He's the go to guy who can answer any question. And gosh darn, the idea that the CIA is the one theory he has not been able to discredit, try as he might.

And the closing line in the article: "So, either we already know the truth, Oswald acted alone, or -- worst-case scenario -- we may never know the whole truth, prompting one more question surrounding the killing of JFK: Would America be OK with that?"

This whole article is a rhetorical device to introduce an implausible idea that just might be true and to guide a soulless public to the right answer. "They did it. So what? It was just as well."

Lauren, you're prediction seems both plausible and sinister. Would you care to elaborate? Why now? Why not wait until 2017, when they release the last classified documents? And wouldn't they rather use some limited hangout, like "some of our boys went rogue, and they helped Oswald do the deed"?

Ivan, indeed this is sinister and it would be the ultimate modified limited hangout. "Although this was not an approved operation from the highest levels of the CIA, some courageous patriots who loved their country saved her from a rogue President, who was going to bargain with evil." You get the idea.

My guess is that this psychic lobotomy of the American collective soul would take years and would be used to justify publicly wet operations on American soil. "We realize now that these brave patriots were visionaries and that we need to honor their legacy. Letting evil live in our midst would be cowardice." I wold imagine this whole thing being "debated" and "discussed" on FOX news. Then NOVA and Frontline would look into it "in depth."
