I have always had more than a passing interest in the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Since I was born after the deaths of JFK, Malcom X, MLK and RFK I have never been able to look at any of these events without the contamination of the thoughts of others. I had no chance to let my own organic thoughts grow through my exposure to the events, the reporting of the time or my interpretation of this reporting.
I have however always believed that there was a conspiracy. Always took the main stream media’s lone gunman status with a large pinch of salt. Always believed in underhand dealings and mysterious cover ups.
Having recently more time on my hands I have decided really look into the assassination. And how easy it is all is. I often think how amazing it is that information it just a few mouse clicks away. I can access files and records that have been hidden for so long, read accounts and listen watch videos at any time I wish. Instead of hours in libraries I can spend hours on my sofa a library of books stored on my kindle ready for me to delve into.
However for all the ease that I have in having access to information, it became very clear to me that this research was a little like quicksand. It sucks you in and you are drawn down into the deep and am encompassing world that is the JFK community. I confess that I am not at present involved in any way shape or form with any part of this community. I am trying my hardest to actually lead my own path and make up my own mind. To really understand why I want to do this. Is it just for personal knowledge or in the hopes one day to share this information? Am I looking for an definitive answer, or rather to see if the events of November 1963 really have affected us today? Do I want to become part of the community or set up my own community of like minded people who perhaps look at things a little differently?
I do know writing my thoughts and ideas in some constructive manner will help me to clear my mind, monitor progress, failure, milestones and distractions. I also want to share what I find with others. So here I am, writing this blog. To share one of my passions, to help my own development and also to express myself. Hopefully you will enjoy it with me.
