[Marxism] Re: More conspiracy theories: Europeans Investigate CIA Rolein Abductions PART 1

[Brian Shannon <Brian_Shannon@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Between Israelis being warned to get out of the Twin Towers and the
rendition of prisoners by the CIA, there is enough space to drive
hundreds of Ryder trucks loaded with explosives.

The issue is where to draw the line. There are known knowns and unknown
knowns.

For example, when Kennedy was shot on November 22, 1963, and Oswald
captured, I was at home with my parents in Kingsburg, California. I had
dropped out of law school the summer of 1962, but had been readmitted
for the spring of 1964. In other words, I was still "up" on certain
legal principles for criminal prosecutions.

When I heard Dallas District Attorney Wade, backed up by Police Chief
Curry and Captain Fritz, announce on the night of November 22 that
there "was no one but him" (Oswald), I immediately knew that there was
a conspiracy. I would in fact claim to be the very first Kennedy
conspiracy theorist except that there must have been thousands of law
students, attorneys, judges, and police officials throughout the
country that immediately came to the same conclusion, i.e., that there
was no way that the DA and highest police officials in a major city
could declare the case to be effectively closed on the very day that
JFK was shot.

In a separate statement the same day, Dallas Mayor Earle Cabell said
that the assassination was "the irrational act of a single man."

So there was a conspiracy to immediately declare Oswald the lone
assassin.

In my opinion, everything else is speculation, even though there are
lots of political facts and conjunctures pointing to high level
coverup. But of what? And how does it relate to the socialist criticism
of capitalism.

The most important issue for socialists is whether conspiracy theories
promote the education and organization of a mass socialist movement.
The kind of people, and the kind of program, and the kind of movement
that socialists want to build is not aided by conspiracy theories
except as idle comment.
