(16,191 posts)The problem, of course, is that even the truth couldn't dispel the conspiracy theories at this point. There are so many conflicting and competing theories swirling around Kennedy's death that the confirmation of one of them, or a "truth" that exposed all of them as incorrect, wouldn't do much to alleviate the argument.
Let's say, for instance, that the government released documents TODAY stating that I was right. That the U.S. government had no role in Kennedy's death, that Poppy had no role in it, and that the death was the result of a rogue Soviet agent, and the cover up an attempt to protect the nation from a devastating war. Would you believe it? Would you set aside all of your own theories and suddenly start believing the government? I doubt that most would.
