I mean, everyone calls me odd and paranoid, etc., when I reveal too much of my thoughts about things like the Kennedy assassination, MK-Ultra, RFK, MLK, Cydonia, etc. (For those uninformed: MK-Ultra=CIA mind control experiments using hypnosis, electroshock... and my favorite, LSD. Cydonia=Region on Mars where that infamous "face" was seen and photographed, along with many pyramids, all apparently of artificial construction.)
People always dismiss any conspiracy because of one simple thought: Things like this are too complicated, there would be too many people who would "spill the beans". I. E. Kennedy and Oswald. People often say to me, when I am trying to argue my point about the cover-up, that it could never stay a secret for long. I don't really think this is true, however.
Think about it. A friend tells you "Oooh blahblah is so fine, I just want him/her. But don't tell anybody." Of course, you will probably tell someone, because ooh-ooh it's hot gossip.
On the other hand, this scenario: Your friend tells you "Oh shit I missed my period, I think I might be pregnant with blahblah." Do you immediately go talking to all your other friends about it? Well, perhaps some of you would. But I know that when there is some secret a person knows, and it's that big, the person usually doesn't go telling everyone they know. Usually, they keep shut up like a clam.
Now imagine your friend tells you "Oh shit I just shot JFK in the head, I'm pretty sure he's dead." Are you going to go tell someone? I mean, seriously? With a secret that big, it's hard to go shout it from the top of the world. Especially because in that case, it won't be bad looks from your friend as punishment, it will be a bullet in your crotch, then your head. Talk about a deterrent.
Then again, there have been people ready to testify. Check out these facts:
Hale Boggs, a congressman who was on the Warren Commission (the commission that investigated the J. Kennedy assassination) said that he had strong doubts about the findings. Later he claimed that the FBI was using Gestapo tactics, as well as tapping the phones of many congressmen. Not long after, his plane "disappeared" over Alaska.
CIA- linked anti-commie George DeMohrenschildt said that Lee Harvey Oswald was innocent, and later killed himself... with a shotgun.
Marilyn Moon Walle, a stripper at Jack Ruby's night club (Jack Ruby- knew Oswald, and was also the guy who shot Oswald.) planned to write a book about the assassination. She was shot to death before she could start writing.
Car salesman Al Bogard claimed that Oswald was test-driving a car at the exact time that the Warren commision claimed he was in Irving, Texas. He "committed suicide" by running a hose from his exhaust into his window after he passed a lie detector test on the subject.
Buddy Walthers found a spent bullet casing at Dealey Plaza, which was confiscated by a man who was identified as an FBI agent. The shell was never found, but Walthers said that it wasn't the right type of shell for Oswald's gun. He was later shot to death.
Rose Cheramie, who worked for Jack Ruby, was thrown from a car two days before the assassination. She lived, and warned attendents at the hospital that Kennedy was going to be killed. In '65, she was the victim of a hit-and-run accident.
The original Kennedy autopsy photographer, William Pitzer, said that the photos he took were later doctored to change the exit wound to an entry wound. He killed himself, and was found with a .45 in his right hand... seemed plausible, except that Pitzer was a lefty.
Of course, when former CIA agent Gary Underhill was found dead, the gun was in his left hand. Only problem was, he was right-handed. Underhill had told friends that the CIA was involved in Kennedy's death.
Now here's an interesting one... Lee Bowers claimed that he saw a man behind the fence on the grassy knoll, and that he witnessed a flash of light and smoke from that same position. He died when his car crashed into a bridge abutment. The pathologist who examined Bowers thought he may have been drugged, and was definately in a "strange state of shock".
Dave Ferrie was a close friend of Jack Ruby and New Orleans crime boss Carlos Marcella, and was Oswald's captain in the Civil Air Patrol. He also had connections with Guy Bannister, who worked in the same building where Castro was said to have handed out Pro-Castro pamphlets, despite his hatred of Castro...
That's odd, but off the subject.
Anyway, Ferrie was found dead of a very odd brain hemorrhage before he was able to testify.
A friend of Ferrie's was Aladio del Valle, who was also supposed to testify. It sometimes gets a little difficult to testify, especially when you notice you've had your head split by a machete and been blasted with a shotgun. (overkill much?)
Of course, that's not too much overkill... at least not compared to another of Ferrie's friends, Dr. Mary Sherman-- she was shot to death in bed, then set on fire. That's gotta hurt.
Clyde Johnson was gonna testify about Ferrie, Oswald, Ruby... all sorts of people. But then he was beaten severely and finally killed by a shotgun blast. Damn.
Good ole Bob Perrin was poisoned-- and it wasn't even his fault, it was his wife who testified that Ruby had smuggled guns into Cuba.
A big Mafia guy who supposedly had connections with the Kennedy schebang, Charles Nicoletti, was shot three times in the head and his car set on fire.
There were a couple other Mafia boys slated to testify, too -- John Roselli and Sam Giancana. Roselli accidently got chopped into pieces and stuffed into a barrel, though. Sam was shot to death while cooking spaghetti, with a silenced .22, a weapon used more by CIA boys than Mob men...
Another guy supposedly killed himself by jumping face first through a plate glass window. I find that one a little hard to believe...
Whew. That's a helluva list. There's more around here somwhere, but I think you get the idea. And yet people still wonder about the whole idea of a conspiracy.
But seriously, folks. Don't toss out the ideas "just cause". I mean, really. The "simple" answers fed to you by the government isn't always going to be the correct one. And also, think about this: everyone says "Oh but the government wouldn't have such a monstrous conspiracy to cover up anything." First of all, the conspiracies don't have to be monstrous... A few people in the right places, backing each other up, can create what you may think is a pretty plausible story. Second, yes they would. If the government goes to the trouble of doing something that won't be looked upon well by the rest of us... then they would have no qualms with covering it up to save their own asses. And maybe you are wondering why the government would ever do anything the masses didn't want. Well, let's see... money, power, control, elimination of resisting forces... I don't know, they sound like good reasons to me, but maybe I'm a little cuckoo cuz of those damned cocoa puffs.
Anyways, have fun and don't accept everything you hear... (Oh, and that may include some of those "crackpot conspiracy theories"... remember, they don't all have to be true. But chances are at least some of them are.)

Hmm, it's like there's nothing there. This is the greatest conspiracy of all.

Cuz what would a note on conspiracies be without a link to 2600?
