Rachel Maddow admits Vietnam war only happened because JFK was assassinated

[Gordon Gray]

Fine, whatever. I just thought it was unusual to hear corporate media pundits discuss the idea that Vietnam policy really did change because of JFK's death.
Wanting them to admit to a conspiracy is too much to expect. Alec Baldwin was about to start a new show on MSNBC, and then he wrote an article about conspiracies...

...and that was the end of his show. They claimed it was because he yelled at a reporter. Hell, that was nothing new. Everyone knows that Baldwin hates the paparazzi.

Great article by Baldwin. And of course a voice like his can't be allowed near the MSM. But his last remark makes me wonder. "The intelligence community believes that most Americans don't want to know how the sausage is made. But I can handle it. I think most Americans, a pretty tough bunch, can handle it, too." I definitely believe we could handle it now. We have become sufficiently cynical as a nation about our government to not be surprised by the other shoe dropping. But what about in 1963? I have always wondered if knowing the truth about the establishment's involvement in the JFK assassination could have been processed by the country at that time. Think of the chaos had the Warren report read more like the Oliver stone movie. And this at the height of the Cold War and MAD.
