But then, somehow, Trump gets elected—in spite of the media, academia, the intellectual classes and “polite” society all stacked against him—and everyone rushes out to buy “1984”….

Leftists should rethink that (I know zombies don’t think) since Orwell has questioned the Globe Theory vs Flat Earth theory paradigm.

Conservatives going out of their way to argue that rabid communist Oswald wasn’t responsible for JFK’s murder (with or without Soviet/Cuban help) proves how damnably effective the left were in obfuscating things. Oswald lived in the Soviet Union and visited the Soviet embassy in Mexico mere months before the killing. That’s why the left were desperate to pin the killing on everyone except themselves.

Paul from Decatur When the Kennedy assassination was reported in the school, the most common reaction was that, since it had happened in Texas, it had to have been the work of a John Birch Society member or someone else on the extreme Right. The irony being that Oswald took a potshot at Major General Edwin Walker (ret.), who had some connections with the John Birch Society- such as handing out John Birch Society reading material to his troops. Paul from Decatur- any connection to Ada From Decatur? :)

How come nobody ever mentions that James Earl Ray, the assassin of Martin Luther King Jr., was a democrat?

aNanyMouse:

I have read reams and reams of material on the JFK assassination, both “Oslwald did it alone” material and tons of material about conspiracies of all stripes as well as other single perps, and the evidence of Oswald as sole assassin is not only convincing, it is overwhelming and virtually certain.

Read the pieces I’ve written on the subject. Read the book by Vincent Bugliosi, the most thorough debunking ever of all the other theories.

I’m glad you’re enjoying the blog, and of course you are welcome to your opinion, but mine is based on nearly a lifetime of study and thought.

Typo alert:
“justifiable insist that the Establishment’s probe(s)” should be “justifiabLY insist”.

Neo, I was referred to your site by the Bookworm.
I like much of what you write, and I wish you well.
I must, therefore, give you my best considered advice: drop the effort to pin the JFK murder on “a Leftist”.

We’ll probably never know who Oswald was really working for, but J. Edgar almost certainly did.
If J. Edgar didn’t know what Oswald was up to, that was horrible dereliction on J. Edgar’s part.
All sorts of knowledgeable writers, incl. some alt-Righters, have ripped the Establishment’s circling of the wagons on this.
To label all criticism of the Establishment view, as “conspiracy theories”, is beneath your usual high standards.

As a retired cop, and nephew of a high-ranking detective in a rather major state, I think that I know enough of how things go in law enforcement / security, to justifiable insist that the Establishment’s probe(s) into the murders of JFK, and Oswald, were jokes.
Those murders happened, largely because, in each case, the relevant security systems were manipulated to effectively stand down, so that Oswald (etc.?) could get clean, **multiple** shots.
(JFK’s Dallas limo was “naked as a jaybird”, contrary to standard practice for such motorcades.)
Likewise with Ruby’s single shot, in a police station (“fortress”).

To start getting well-enough informed, so as to be qualified to appropriately write about this matter, go to https://www.amazon.com/Vincent-Michael-Palamara/e/B00GFZHJD0 .
Palamara’s best-known book, “Survivor’s Guilt: The Secret Service and the Failure to Protect President Kennedy”, is particularly well-regarded by knowledgeable persons (incl. retired Secret Service agents).

Meanwhile, don’t risk your cred on this JFK stuff, and keep up the good work on events like the Scalize shooting.

Relevant personal anecdote. In November 1963, I was a public high school senior in a northeastern New Jersey community that had voted heavily for Kennedy in 1960. I was an active and well-known Goldwater supporter. When the Kennedy assassination was reported in the school, the most common reaction was that, since it had happened in Texas, it had to have been the work of a John Birch Society member or someone else on the extreme Right.

“FWIW Neo-Nazi types have racked up something of a death toll in the 21st century.”

Which is an example of buying Stalin’s lie that the Nazis were right wing instead of a competing socialist crime family.
