I agree. An LN doesn't have to be a Kennedy hater at all, but he/she does need to have an extreme faith in law enforcement and Government, because that's what LNs are really defending; the notion that it is impossible that some individuals of the Government would go so far as to kill a President.
. . .
No. I don’t have a problem believing one or two individuals in the government would go so far as to kill a President. What I do have a problem with is Large-Secret-Enduring Conspiracy would be formed within the government, or any other American group, that would kill a President. That is just too unbelievable. Large-Secret-Enduring Conspiracy theories are just not believable, to a true skeptic.
CTers have sold Americans on a Large Conspiracy. That is what was pushed in the movie JFK, which has influenced more Americans into becoming CTers than any other book or movie. The JFK movie explicitly pushed the large conspiracy. That was what “Mr. X” spelled out to Garrison on the Washington D. C. Park bench.
That is what conspiracy theories do. They push large conspiracies because a false theory must be interesting to succeed. And people find stories about large conspiracies to be compelling and are naturally inclined to believe them, unless they have read about and have the mental discipline to be a skeptic.
It’s no good to argue, well, the JFK conspiracy theory is not really a large conspiracy theory. That is what CTers always argue to defend any large conspiracy theory. JFK CTers have consistently presented their case as a large conspiracy. With a large goal. Generally, to get the U. S. into the Vietnam war. So, despite disclaimers, the JFK conspiracy theory is a Large-Secret-Enduring conspiracy theory. Which is why I disbelieve it. And not because I always believe what the government tells me.
I didn’t think going to war with Iraq in 2003 was a good idea. And I still don’t think so. Despite what the government told me. And I don’t think that thousands of volunteer poll workers conspired to throw the election to Biden, despite what the government, in the form of President Trump, was telling me. I just don’t believe Large-Secret-Enduring Conspiracy theories. And yet, you seem to believe that my beliefs are somehow irrational.
