A bit of a Personal plea and a little tiny rant

I have noticed obviously as the 55th Anniversary comes near there area few programmes on television regarding the Kennedy’s and the assassination. You would think that as a researcher I would looking forward to all of them.

I dont.

In part it is of course the lip service they play to anything other that the official line on the assassination.  It is normally served with a side helping of derision for anyone who questions the event.

Mainly, however, for a lot of people this is all the information that they will have on the Kennedy”s.
Once the ideas of these programmes are out there, shown to a mass population scant information becomes solid fact which is turn is seen as truth.

This then becomes the story, the final analysis,of the events of the day. Of the meaning of the lives of the individuals who make up that family.  The narrative of those who accept without question the integrity of the mass media.

For those who have since the assassination been trying to put forward another explination the frustration is not the point of view that these programmes put forward, more the lack of balance there is for a reply.  A fair, uninterrupted, valued reply.

This is not just an issues with this topic of course with the mass media being a topic for its own 26 volume enquiry and not something I can do justice to in a few scant lines here.

What I find however, what I can say and give justice to here is my personal experience.

I am open to debate.  I am open to anyone giving me their opinion.  I am more than happy to discuss any aspect of the assassination you wish.  As long as you are also willing to hear.

Respect research.  Respect the time, effort and thought I have spend on this subject.   Respect my right not to believe everything I see or hear before analysing it.  Respect that on this a person who has a personal investment in this subject may know more than you.

Do not dismiss me as someone who will never listen to anything other things I agree with. I may question when I am made to listen to known lies, granted and therefore will not be too confident in the one espousing them but I will listen and I have learnt form various sources.

What I basically saying is don’t come to me after watching a programme and tell one piece of information that proves everything and that I only question it because “ you will not accept the facts”.

Ask me a question about it, listen to what I say, look for yourself, come back to me etc tc that’s how we learn.  That would make me so happy and at the end if you disagree with me fine.  But you took the time to consider and not just think because I question I am the nutty one.
