Forty years of lies

"If, as we are told, Oswald was the lone assassin, where is the issue of national security?" -- Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Russell's penetrating question, one of sixteen he asked at the time of the Warren Commission Report, remains unanswered after forty years. That should trouble Americans, but then again there are many things around national secrecy today that should trouble Americans.

The most timely lesson to be taken from the fortieth anniversary of President Kennedy's assassination concerns secrecy and the meaning of democracy in the world's most powerful nation. Perhaps no event better demonstrates the existence of two governments in the United States, the one people elect and another, often far more influential, as capable of imposing false history about large events as the fabled Ministry of Truth.

1. America - the cataract nation

We actually believe what we think we see. :shrug:

2. The REAL reason the files have been locked away are so that the folks...

that had the most to gain (read profit) from Kennedy's death will have time to peacefully die themselves. You can't prosecute a dead guy for War Profiteering. And it takes a long time to truly enjoy millions of dollars. "National Security" indeed. Who does it benefit to keep secrets like that? Those that stand to lose the most if they are revealed, thats who. And that is MOST CERTAINLY NOT the American public at large.
