Thursday 11-19-15, on BOR Jim D addressed this widely heard sentence among JFK research community.
He then pointed out the contradiction in having a tiny radio station like KPFK announce the Talbot Los Angeles talk and the incongruous crowd that gathered for it.
What we need to do IMO is point out why this perception persists and why this psychologically induced defeatism is, ironically, the indicator of the just how full-spectrum the JFK Assassination could go, should we ever grow the will to fight rather than the comfort of publishing more great material for an audience that remains on their designated reservation.
How and why is this plaque of defeatism so religiously spread on the incisors of dissent? I am not saying that this belief that people are uninterested is not understandable. I'm suggesting that if we look at this history of censorship FROM A PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE PERSPECTIVE -- which is after-all the perspective of CIA-- it is all to understandable, and remediable.

Dr. Marty Schotz addressed this in his book "History Will Not Absolve Us, Orwellian control , public denial and the murder of President Kennedy ".
Will mainstream media ever be honest? I gave up hoping for this decades ago.
But people do care. Many more than we realize. But they feel helpless to change anything.
A bullet to the brain achieves total control.
This is what I posted earlier on fb.
Fifty two years ago today I was sitting in my 8th grade class when we were told that JFK had been shot. Not dead, just shot. I rushed home from school praying all the way. It seemed like just moments later that they "had their killer". That news set off such alarm bells to me. My parents in Canada were both ill so my sibs and I were staying with relatives in the states. I vividly remember telling my Uncle Howard and Aunt Cinda that weekend that this was a conspiracy. That weekend I believed LBJ was the culprit. At fourteen I was not familiar with the CIA or even the Pentagon, let alone behind the scenes power elite. My life changed that day. And, whether they know it or not, so did all of America's
Dawn, still horrified by what this nation has become.

It has always been my experience that most people care, but many don't know how to effect positive movement forward with the case. Most people don't believe the official version, but are definitely confused as to just what to believe in place of it. Most think it a conspiracy, but don't know who or what might have been behind it.
At the same time, it is my feeling that the case is solved, with only minor details unknown. I certainly feel that the last documents, witnesses, evidence and as-yet unknown details are import to get to and know/see/release/hear. Some great new books are out now to add to the many great ones of the past years.
We lost some important researchers in recent years, and that trend can only continue with time.
We simply must work for the release of all documents related to the case. They are supposed to be all released by 2017, but if you believe they will be without one hell of fight, there is a bridge I'd like to offer you for sale. I'd also like to finally see an investigation or investigations - and think that one outside of the USA should not be ruled out.
As always it is saddening that so many of the researchers just can't get alone with many other researchers and we are some of our own best opposition to moving forward faster and with some modicum of sharing and collaboration. Of course, this is not true of all - many do share and collaborate, but it is true of all too many who shall remain nameless but not blameless.
It does seem like a VERY quiet year on the JFK/false-flag/goosestepping toward fascism and police state fronts, generally. Sigh! All one can do is to do all one can do, and then a little bit more, and hope this will set an example to others.
Spread the word; plug good books and videos; inform you friends and family - even your enemies; remember voting is the least productive form of action in a sham democracy; inform yourself - especially on the broader picture and not just the minutia, and then act - there is much to do and not much time left to do it, IMHO...... another huge false-flag event like 9/11/01 is not a matter of if, but when...and that one could well mark the end of what little democracy, rights, freedoms, income any of us have. Dallas not being 'solved' publicly and those who did it held to account made 911 possible; 911 not being 'solved' publicly and those who did it held to account will make the next horror possible. Most of the deep political events are inter-related. Dallas was a very BIG one and really got the 'ball' rolling for those that followed. It is still the one, IMHO, that can open the minds of many, sufficiently to awake them to all the horrors that have secretly [and openly, but unseen by the self-blind] been going on all around, lo these many years and is to this very day!

I would personally appreciate if and when talks give on the 22nd this year, or about it, become available as audio or video, people post the links to them somewhere here on the Forum. No live feeds this year as far as I knew.

I feel for you, Dawn, because you ended up experiencing a double gut-wrenching moment that day (once--upon the initial announcement that he was merely shot, and then, of course, some time later the awful news bringing with it the dreaded finality of his death, removing any sense of hope you may have held onto for his survival). What a sad day, for you, for democracy, the nation and mankind around the world as a whole.
I am glad your intuition spoke through loud and clear amid their hastily contrived "official" findings. Both you and Peter have hit the nail on the head in respect to the varied reasons why some people may present as disinterested parties to the assassination of President Kennedy, but hope, as they say, does spring eternal. The world knows something much larger and more sinister than a lone gunman was responsible for the death of President Kennedy.
Had it not been for the propaganda surrounding the Cold War; Joe McCarthy's subsequent "red" witch hunts; and, of course, the numbing effect of the shocking event itself, I often wonder how many people would have literally taken to the streets across America to wage a battle against the invisible evil that snuffed out the life of a democratically elected representative of the people?
I'll never forget former President Eisenhower's immediate reaction (via video footage) where he says the word "stampede" half a dozen times in relation to the possible reaction of the citizens. I have often wondered what the former D-Day four star general knew in his heart of hearts about what really happened that day. When I try to reconcile with his repeated use of "stampede" all I can think of is there would be no need for the people to behave like an uncontrollable stampede unless a coup 'd'état was underfoot.
