Facts are always relevent unless the facts you mean are the ones presented and force fed by the
Media to the general public!

True in most cases there is always a shadow of a doubt in any good conspiracy.

Again I think most certain this is wrong.Most of them are very relavent to the true facts(those we are not told)the loop holes in the stories!

Partially true on both instanced mentioned but they always fuck up and get caught in lies.(those in control).

This is probrably true seeing how many people who have been close to things like this do simply just DISAPPEAR off the face of the planet or are legally shut up I.E.Jack Ruby..........

True.

True.

labelled 'a bush lover' or 'a fox news watcher', etc.
b) the JFK asssination camp is heavily linked to being a CIA or organized
crime conspiracy. The cold war was at its height in the 1960s and the CIA
was a cery active spy organization. As well, organized crime played a big role in Cuba and in the US in general It makes sense then that given this social climate, the conspiracies would reflect it.
I could go on. I will just say this - Questioning for the sake of questioning is not an intellectual pursuit, and is simply a playground for the very 'masses' that are so often referenced. Who are the real 'sheep'?

Also true,but remember the "TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE"!!!!
