Serious research

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.
