From Donald Jeffries, American author, Hidden History: An Exposé of Modern Crimes, Conspiracies, and Cover-Ups in American Politics (2014):
I can remember when believing in conspiracies wasn’t cool. Now, in the second decade of the twenty-first century, more people are starting to sense that things may not be as they appear to be. The truth in Lord Acton’s classic axiom that “Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely” becomes more self-evident every day. Politicians from the only two parties we have to choose from break promises, are unresponsive to the will of the people, and opt for war, austerity measures, and state control over and over again. Gary Allen, author of the book None Dare Call It Conspiracy, defined things perfectly when he wrote, “It must be remembered that the first job of any conspiracy, whether it be in politics, crime or within a business office, is to convince everyone else that no conspiracy exists.”
Gary Allen and the 9/11 article–>back to the good old Conspiracy days? I can hardly wait.
Fear not, SLL will not become a clearinghouse of conspiracy theories. That said, I will make three points. Legally, a conspiracy is an agreement by two or more people to commit a crime or act of moral terpitude. By that standard, Washington and the federal government have to be rife with conspiracies. Secondly, I believe all government investigations, especially of events that in some way involve the government, are inherently suspect. Finally, stretching back to the Kennedy assassination, there are a whole string of such events that I flat out do not believe the official explanation; there are too many holes. If that makes me a “conspiracy theorist,” I would say guilty as charged.
Relative to the Kennedy assassination: “there are too many holes” for the path of a single bullet. In any event, the past has a great future. At least as I am rewriting mine before someone else might.
