COMMENT POSTED TO A COLUMN BY JONATHAN FREEDLAND IN THE
GUARDIAN
"Conspiracy
theories such as JFK distract from the real threats we face'
That is not even close to being the case.
If the assassination of a President can be effectively
covered-up, what cannot?
And a great many terrible events have happened in the United
states since that crime. Vietnam, Cambodia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria
plus many other bloody awful things that make no sense.
Of course, the author’s use of the term "conspiracy theory"
should be a red flag for astute readers.
That term was generated by a CIA publicist/disinformation
officer in 1967 as a way to express contempt for those doubting the Warren
Report, a document in fact riddled with errors and inconsistencies.
But the corporate press a half century later still uses it,
as we see here.
