Despite the well-know Lincoln quotation, the Kennedy assassination in Dallas proves that you can “fool all the people all the time”. Even the mass media bought into the Oswald lone-gunman lie, and went after anyone who dissented.
I really don’t know which is more heinous and just plain dreadful. That a deep-state government cabal linked with the Mafia carried out the assassination of a popular American president or that, subsequently, the government, through its appointed commission, invented a camouflage story that concealed the crime, and that virtually the entire country fell for it, including the media. Which is worse?
I am a voracious reader and also enjoy writing. I often have a very different point of view than the popular one. I do see value in debate, and thought it might add to the public debate on controversial issues if I were to express my contrarian opinions. I also started keeping my poems recently (I've written little pieces my whole adult life but never kept any); and I've been a photographer now for over 25 years. So I will be adding an occasional poem and hopefully interesting photograph to the blog along the way, just to spice things up.
