    Since it's been pretty well documented nothing irrational about that. The problem is of course there's a good chance that it will come out eventually and that course can result in more damage than just being up front with things so smart people tend to be very careful about such activities and avoid them when they are unlikely to succeed or not really necessary.

    Wrong, incredibly wrong. Politics is how groups of people go about making decisions on group actions. Power of various sorts will influence politics but they are clearly separate

    Those who argue against many of your positions appear to me to be those with the open minds and often the skeptical viewpoint. Being a skeptic means questioning statements and looking at the evidence before making a decision. Your evidence has been rather deficient and most of your positions simply don't hold up to Occam's razor even with out examining the contrary evidence.

    I look at both sides of the equation.

    For one example, I'm just saying there is a body of evidence, about 100 murders of witnesses, what are the odds that two brothers from an elite family, The Kennedys, one gets shot in office, the other gets shot before he can run, when they would have controlled the White House for 12 straight years and radically liberalized America from what it was. There is fear in change. There is so much evidence that those instances was more than a "lone nut." But when you look at the facts surrounding and offer a different view than the status quo, you are shunned and outcast.

    Politics is money, power, lobbyists, and special interests. That's the cynical viewpoint at least.

    Somehow, that doesn't quite cover the full story.

    Let's look at your stated premise;

    If people really became outcasts because they expose uncomfortable truths about the killings of the Kennediýs, there wouldn't be a mainstream (It doesn't get more mainstream than Warner Brothers) hollywood movie, written and directed by Oliver Stone from 1991, with Kevin Costner and Gary Oldman. Or if there was, none of them would ever have found any more work at all. Yet they all continued on their very successful careers.

    "...about hunded murders of witnesses..." care to elaborate?

    If your ideas for conspiracies were real, and the world worked the way you suggest it does, then the Mainstream Media wouldn't touch the subject with a 10-ft pole.

    The fact is, most of these stories twist the truth to create the sensation. Just as done with Erich von Däniken's books, or more recently, in the TV-series "Making a Murderer".

    The commonality between all of the sensationalistic brouhaha, is that it sells. Because it sells, the MSM doesn't really care if it is true or not. It's never about what can be proven, it's always about what can be speculated on, and if you need to bend the truth to do so, then by all means. And that is what Jim Marrs does. As long as it sells, some people somewhere will ascribe it some level of credibility. When it stops selling, suddenly everyone sees it for the odiferous pile of excrement it is.

    We've gone from a discussion of Nazi ideology to the Kennedy assassination conspiracies. Are you saying that the 4th Reich was behind the assassination of JFK?
