Are we in the final decade?

[Gerry Down]

It seems like JFK conferences are full of old men and women (both the presenters and the people watching the presentations).

With experts like John Judge (of COPA), Jim Marrs, Mark Lane, Vincent Salandria, Sherry Fiester, Jerry Pollicoff etc. dying in the last decade (not to mention key witnesses like Michael Paine, Jim Leavelle, Dr. Robert McClelland), it would appear that the 2020's is the last decade for the JFK research community.

By 2030, nothing but a shell will be left. No people (of note) will be left to give presentations and no people left to care to watch them.

Should we just pack up and focus our attention elsewhere?

Oh, I dunno.......  am quite sure Ralph Cinque, Judyth Baker et.al. shall still be around in 2030.  They're not aware of their mortality.

I think these conferences will fade away. There is a precedence for it. In the nineteen century, the majority, or at least a very large fraction of the population, thought that the U. S. Government was involved somehow, in the assassination of President Lincoln. Just as 20th century CTers typically put the blame on Vice President Lyndon Johnson, CTers of the 19th century typically put the blame on Secretary of War Edwin Stanton. Edwin Stanton was almost certainly not guilty of being part of a conspiracy to kill President Lincoln, but was arguably the greatest Secretary of War this nation has ever had, working long hours each day, to guide the Union war effort to a close-run victory in the Civil War.

Hope springs eternal.  There will always be a few JFK assassination CTers but they have been relegated to a place reserved for ghost and Bigfoot hunters.  Not to be taken seriously but providing occasional entertainment.

Even if new information came to light, would the younger generation even care?

Probably don't even know who JFK is.

Probably don't even know who JFK is.

The short answers are (IMO); I seriously doubt it and agreed.

The younger generations live in a different world and have different interests. The majority of the younger generations couldn't care less what happened in the past. To be honest, when I was younger I was hardly any better.... only as I grew older I began taking an interest in the events of the past.

But, I think, there will always be some people who do take an interest.

Says the source of entertainment who nobody takes seriously.
