In reply to the discussion: JFK Conference: Dan Hardway Detailed how CIA Obstructed HSCA Investigation [View all]Waiting For Everyman
(9,385 posts)There is no statute of limitations on murder, and there should be no limitation on discussing it here -- especially the murder of a president, and even moreso a Democratic president, fer Pete's sake.
The very fact that the House, a branch of the US government itself, saw fit to investigate this (let alone the fact that its findings showed good reason to question the official story) should be enough to take it out of the realm of CT.
No court ever tried and found anyone guilty in the murder of JFK, so that makes it an open cold case, and it makes the government's theory of what happened no more credible than any other theory. There will never be any accounting for this murder except the one each person makes in their own judgment and conscience. And this was not a petty crime by any means but one at the very highest level which concerns every US citizen, especially those of us of the Democratic persuasion.
For the same reason, I don't think discussion of 9/11 should be limited either. Both are glaringly horrendous examples of letting laughably ludicrous cover stories replace justice at the highest level, and both led us into phony wars by the way. That seems plenty of reason to me, to discuss it as long we want on a Democratic discussion board and in public.
People who want to smear others simply for being interested and pursuing these subjects on their own, are encouraging the most insidious kind of civic apathy, and more of the same cover stories in the future. In case no one's noticed, each time the perpetrators get away with one of these murders-of-state, they get bolder. What's next, a "whoopsie" nuke on a major city, with accompanying stupid cover story? In other words, how high does the price we pay have to get before people wake up and stop joining in the chorus of voices squelching any truth that is found?
