True enough. To attack a person’s delusions is to attack a person’s soul.

Jim Garrison (and later Oliver Stone, who resurrected Garrison) is the "Donald Trump" of JFK research. Like Trump, the populist JFK-CT draws in both kooks and ordinary citizens with niche concerns, and embraces any angle that keeps the notion of "conspiracy" alive, including themselves being a victim of the media and government agencies.

In the end, a jury of citizens brought down the charade in New Orleans, just as the forthcoming election will allow the vox populi to (probably) remove Trump. In both cases, somewhat hollow victories. Joe Biden is yesterday's man.

Mr O , If you only had the guts to escape your fantasy world and see the world at it truly is.......Then you know that John Kennedy was murdered by a powerful gang that feared that JFK was ruining their empire.    Whether you believe that Lee Oswald was the trigger man or not ( he wasn't) even the "Blue Ribbon" Committee that was created by the conspirators  knew that they dared not assign a motive that could be challenged to Lee Oswald's alleged act.    They knew that if the question of motive was examined they would be found to be the guilty culprits.

Well stated, Mr Parnell.

Garrison sent many people down the rabbit hole.
Sad, that he is still a topic for discussion, while Vincent Salandria passed on recently, and his great - though not without flaws- work seems to have been forgotten.

Mr. Salandria was a consultant to Garrison on his (Garrison's) Shaw/NO investigation. Is there any record of him criticizing Garrison on the matter? I understand a number of noted conspiracy believers such as Lifton, Weisberg and Meagher did so. Did Salandria?

And where did Salandria's view of who was behind the assassination differ from Garrison's later view? That is that JFK was killed by the "national security state" because he was going to (somehow) end the Cold War? That's essentially Garrison's view.
