My apologies if I precipitated a renewal of old debates.
Without wishing to get deeply into the question(s), I must note that CD's point about the repetitive use of the explicit elements ["The long term effect has been to anaesthetize."] is straight out of the MK-Ultra files, PTSD-related research, MindWar, et alia and was used with even greater effects on 9/11 ff.
It is purposeful traumatization from within which can be affected further mind-numbing, subordination of control, etc.
I always thought Vincent Salandria [http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/JFKsalandria.htm] had a clear and important piece of understanding:
"n 1975 Salandria told Gaeton Fonzi: "I'm afraid we were misled. All the critics, myself included, were misled very early. I see that now. We spent too much time and effort microanalyzing the details of the assassination when all the time it was obvious, it was blatantly obvious that it was a conspiracy. Don't you think that the men who killed Kennedy had the means to do it in the most sophisticated and subtle way? They chose not to. Instead, they picked the shooting gallery that was Dealey Plaza and did it in the most barbarous and openly arrogant manner. The cover story was transparent and designed not to hold, to fall apart at the slightest scrutiny. The forces that killed Kennedy wanted the message clear: 'We are in control and no one - not the President, nor Congress, nor any elected official - no one can do anything about it.' It was a message to the people that their Government was powerless."
