Creative Speculation

The Warren Commission was a political body designed to deceive the American people over the true circumstances of the unconstitutional removal of a popular president. A Justice Department memo discussing the formation of the Commission is explicit on its purpose.

The cover-up continues fifty years later. All major American media have been complicit and continue to be so. But there is simply too much information now available to maintain the fiction that "Oswald did it." I suppose this anniversary year will feature a sort of last gasp of reiteration of the official story, but the holes in that story are now too obvious and the fact of a massive cover-up are too blatant.

The original critics had the basic story of Oswald's frame-up figured out by 1967-68, but the full weight of the US establishment has managed to maintain some degree of doubt for all these decades. The Warren Commission, HSCA, and other materials were still meant to be locked up for a few more decades, but the "JFK" movie scotched that and now there is far too much information - especially on the cover-up - to maintain the fiction any longer.
