I just wrote piece about 1957. BGlass, in General Comments 4, reminds me of 1963.
I have spoken often of the “It’s Not Israel” Campaign that followed 9/11. Every respectable and every liberal on all of the endless number of commenters on the incident for the next two weeks repeated, “This had nothing to do with American support for Israel” the way the sheep in Animal Farm repeated,” Four legs good, two legs BAAAAAD!”
Earl Warren, you know, the Chief Justice who headed the Warren Commission, the minute he was first informed that Kennedy had been shot, said, “This was done by right wing extremists!” The news media first reported it was right wing extremists who did it.
What Fashionable Opinion wants, Fashionable Opinion gets. For the next four decades, we were besieged with proofs that all the classic devils of Marxist mythology were the real killers. Even Earl Warren, who was the greatest champion of anti-whites since Honest Abe, couldn’t build a case that a Marine sharpshooter just happened to be in the area when the Real Right Wing Conspiracy did the deed.
But the campaign went on and on and on and on, the only person in America who had nothing to do with killing Kennedy was Lee Harvey Oswald. That was a myth.
You know, like the Myth of Race.
Only for a couple of decades, long ago in BGlass’s terms, has this been termed “spin.” Naturally if something is against Israel the media will spin it desperately the other way. Naturally if it is blatantly obvious that Kennedy made a fatal mistake when he personally signed the papers to let Lee Harvey Oswald reclaim the US citizenship he had formally revoked at the US Embassy in Moscow.
Kennedy figured Oswald was an Idealist who had made a mistake.
I seem to be the only person living who remembers that Kennedy personally signed his own death warrant, or at least you will find no mention of it elsewhere.
Leftists look upon anyone who hates white people or the West as Idealists, perhaps a bit overzealous, but still just Idealists like themselves.
Someone who loves his own race is a Hater, but a white who hates whites or an American who hates America is an Idealist, an Intellectual.
No one is going mention with that kind of thinking, by signing his name to it, John Fitzgerald Kennedy committed suicide.

The day of the assassination I had a midterm just after lunch. The story had spread across the small Catholic college campus. The class was small and the prof responded to a suggestion by a few of the students, the type who always think that with a few more hours of cramming their grade will miraculously skyrocket, wanted to postpone the test. The prof said sure if no one objects. Guess who objected? Having reviewed the material once, I could see no reason to repeat the exercise again for a rescheduled examination.
My classmates understood and a few thanked me later for doing what they were too cautions to do. The story spread and I had to endure two or three silly nasty comments in the dining hall and one unimpressive threat. I didn’t give a tinker’s dam. One thing I like about this board is that I enjoy being a member of a gang that does not care a whit about the indignation of fools.

You have to have a real society for facts to matter and as Robert Whitaker has pointed out, we don’t live in a real society.
I cringe every time I read the word “minorities” in the MSM. Look around with your eyes.
And from the DHS perspective, for example, rounding up a Pakistani “Taliban” was just as “satisfactory” as rounding up a white “right wing militiaman” would be regarding the recent NYC bombing attempt, although you could tell Mayor Bloomberg was greatly disappointed.
Notice the fact that this suspect is a naturalized American citizen is tossed into the background offhand.
Real treason can never be investigated and we all know why: Treason is policy.

Standing back and looking at the left and their fashion, I see that about everything they promote is founded on a conspiracy theory.
Some are quite tame such as believing that “big oil” conspires to sell oil, but others descend into truly scary territory such as “racism.”
When blacks shout “racism” even our semis such as the sturdy fellows at Amren take them seriously, but in reality “racism” to blacks is a simple animist religion sprinkled with typical black hyperactive emotion.
No one has bothered to ask of the black/anti-white white what exactly is “racism” to them and to provide examples. It is too embarassing to comprehend that people are that pathetic.
Future generations of our kind will look back on the semis with disdain for playing this game.
