Since Oswald Didn't Do It...

We all know that is, in fact the case, don't we?
 
Yes. We've known that for a very long time, indeed.
 
What does that mean to us on the 36th anniversary of the assassination of President Kennedy? Why are the records not released in full? What does the statement: -- "Those files are postponed in full for reasons of National Security" -- ... actually mean?
 
If those files contained evidence, in support of the "official version" -- then exactly "which Nation's Security is being assured" by the continued classification of these "innocuous" documents?
 
Not mine.
 
For those of us in the JFK Assassination Research Community, the events of November 22, 1963 -- do NOT exist in a vacuum. They exist in the "present tense" but, they belong in the past. Until we can write the "true history" of those events, our history will remain in a state of flux; ever evolving into what the media can get us to agree to accept.
 
Is the time required to investigate the life history of OSWALD, time well spent? Will we find clues to the real culprits by studying the "records" on this man? Records which either prove his guilt -- (of course why hide them if that is true?), or they prove his innocence. Are we perhaps playing into the hands of the cabal who "created a patsy" for this very purpose, (details be damned)?
 
I do not ask these questions frivolously or to be argumentative in any way, but rather for clarification.
 
Since almost all of us agree that OSWALD did not act alone, why is that not enough? Most of the "in-fighting" occurring amongst JFK researchers is not as a result of any disagreement on that most fundamental issue, namely: the OSWALD story -- as the Warren Commission Reported it -- is nothing more than fiction.
 
The in-fighting is due to the constant debate over the details of "the how" (not the "if") a conspiracy -- was responsible for murdering the 35th President. Some believe the Zapruder film is a hoax, AND obviously they also believe there exists a conspiracy. Others believe the film is authentic AND most of them STILL believe there exists a conspiracy. Some believe there are at least two OSWALDS, AND they obviously also believe there exists a conspiracy. Others do not believe, have grave doubts, or are just undecided if -- there was more than one OSWALD, but STILL-- they too, believe there exists a conspiracy.
 
Should we perhaps refrain from researching OSWALD? I do not mean to say that the subject was never important, but that the research which has already been done in this regard has not affected the "collective awareness" of the people, no matter how strong or weak the evidence discovered has been.
 
Finally, the "politicians" and others in government DO NOT need convincing! They already are absolutely POSITIVE that a conspiracy exists! Why? Because, that is, by its very nature, a PRIMARY ingredient required for a coup d'etat to be a success. Such a violent takeover is not supposed to be a temporary thing, rather it is carefully orchestrated to last indefinitely. That's why those remaining within the surviving "political structure" are made to know that a "power-base" exists; that it is responsible for the coup; and that it is in CONTROL. No lone nut, at all. The knowledge that those who would resist this power-base are under the same guns as were JFK, RFK, & MLK, stays the hand of our elected Representatives to this day...
 
"If the politicians really believed that a lone nut was responsible, this would still be a Nation of, by, and for 'We The People' -- but, they don't believe it either..."
 
The Lone Nut Theory is designed to fool the people not the politicians...
 
For if the people were to refuse to accept it, they would rise up and take their country back. Then the "power-base" would cease to exist.
 
When the truth is finally admitted [that]: "Yes, there was a conspiracy" -- and it will be admitted, the operative word in the admission will be, WAS -- past tense.
 
And if 'we the people' simply accept it, then darker days than we've ever imagined, shall be upon us...

An excerpt from Colonel L. Fletcher Prouty...
 
"Since World War II, there have been hundreds of "coups d'etats" - a euphemism for assassination. That list will grow as long as the United States does its diplomatic work clandestinely. Why else did Henry Kissinger 'shuttled' from country to country in the Middle East? If his relationship with each of these countries is an undercover relationship, then he cannot meet with them publicly and in a group.
 
"Eventually, practitioners of assassination by the removal of power reach the point where they see that technique as fit for the removal of opposition anywhere."
 
That was why President Kennedy was killed.
 
"He was not murdered by some lone, gunman or by some limited conspiracy, but by the breakdown of the protective system that should have made an assassination impossible.
 
"Once insiders knew that he would not be protected, it was easy to pick the day and the place. In fact, those responsible for luring Kennedy to Dallas on November 22, 1963 were not even in on the plan itself. He went to Texas innocuously enough: to dedicate an Air Force hospital facility at Brooks Air Force Base in San Antonio. It was not too difficult then to get him to stop at Fort Worth - 'to mend political fences.'
 
"Of course, no good politician would go to Fort Worth and skip Dallas. All the conspirators had to do was to let the right 'mechanics' know where Kennedy would be and when and, most importantly, that the usual precautions would not have been made and that escape would be facilitated. This is the greatest single clue to that assassination.
 
"Who had the power to call off or drastically reduce the usual security precautions that always are in effect whenever a president travels? Castro did not kill Kennedy, nor did the CIA. The power source that arranged that murder was on the inside. It had the means to reduce normal security and permit the choice of a hazardous route. It also has had the continuing power to cover up that crime for [36] years."
