Reply #43: Oh' it's way older than Kennedy.

Look up the articles of the Elders of Zion. Read up about the theories of the Freemasons/Illuminati. Conspiracy theories have been around since people in power decided to keep secrets.

These were truly paranoid theories (not to insult those who still believe in Illuminati/"Behold: a Pale Horse" theories that still abound today though)...the trouble is that JFK and others were placed in the same league as some of the more wacky historical ones by a clever marketing campaign aimed strictly at discrediting questions they don't want to answer. Remember Ohio/2004? What did all the Republicans on the House floor say as if they were reading from a script, to quash any attempt to investigate? "Conspiracy Theory". Some who claim to have seen alien spacecraft usually bring this up as well, which only plays into the hands of those who don't want to answer questions. Everybody sees UFOs, but flying saucers and abductions are very different and incredible...as in UN-credible. "So is your theory of a stolen election. Republicans would never steal elections!"
