    Exactly! Personally regarding JFK I think that Oswald wasn’t a patsy as is often claimed, and the magic bullet stuff is a red herring, you don’t need expert sightlines or marksmanship skills to get a lucky shot. And Oswald’s history is very suspicious indeed, I don’t think we need to invoke a second gunman, he was just working with the CIA, hell, maybe his job was just to “scare” Kennedy (JFK was wanting to defund the CIA and make them more transparent, with actual oversight of their activities) so it might have been an attempt by them to scare him into thinking that they are “necessary” and things just went wrong and they had to scramble to cover their tracks. Part of the difference between a conspiracy theory and an actual real world conspiracy is regular human mistakes and errors. There has never been a perfectly executed “master plan” that requires no changes or has any unexpected errors coming up.

    But yeah, it’s absurd to think that the same people with a complete lack of respect for human life and the “freedom” they claim to champion would actually be honest with the public.
