Regardless of who did or did not kill JFK, I find it exceedingly difficult to believe that things like every President since Kennedy has been shown the film, etc. and not a single one of them left that info about that in a vault to be opened in 50 years after his death or whatever. And no member of their family knew or told either. For that matter, I find it difficult to believe that no member of the CIA did it on his or her deathbed in a fit of wanting to get into heaven or whatever or a burst of belated conscience.
How many people in the White House and in the intelligence community would have had to have kept that secret since the 1960s? What are the odds of that many doing it?
I think at some point, we just have to face that our politicians are doing what they they want to do and what their biggest campaign donors want them to do--and we're not holding them accountable, even on message boards, let alone at the polling booth. We just keep electing them and reelecting them and paying for them, their staffs, their consultants, their junkets, etc. I think that simple truth is so hard for us to accept, especially when we fall in love with candidates, that we have to come up with other theories.
