The JFK Files: Rhetoric vs. Truth

[Jon Banks]

Here is a companion piece to my original article. It discusses a new article by Peter Isackson that Morley is promoting.

"Conspiracy theorist Jefferson Morley should learn to choose his friends more carefully"

Jeff Morley isn't a "Conspiracy Theorist". He has never proposed his own alternative theory of how JFK was killed. Morley, like Josiah Thompson, Cyril Wecht, John Newman, and other JFK researchers are just skeptics of the Warren Report narrative.

Some in the JFK research community ARE conspiracy theorists but you're widely missing the mark if you put all JFK assassination researchers in the same bucket.


In our current age where every person has instant access to the Internet via a cell phone in their pocket and where any number of nonsensical narratives of all types are perpetuated daily by “journalists” using blogs, social media and a variety of means, “official commentators” are being “bribed” and “intimidated” to hide the truth about the JFK case?


I agree that the idea that people in the media have been "bribed" is unlikely. Maybe there are some cases of that sort of thing but I doubt it's widespread.

However, there are certain topics that mainstream journalists may avoid because they know (or have been told) it won't be published or that it could hurt their career (ie Gary Webb). So that sort of thing leads to journalists pretty much censoring themselves.

Outside of the mainstream media, there aren't as many gatekeepers, hence why most reporting on JFK conspiracy stuff mostly comes from independent and alternative media sources.

For the last 58 years, the mainstream news media has for the most part endorsed the Warren Report and whenever anyone deviates from the official narrative, they get painted in the Press as "wacky" despite the fact that 60-70% of Americans don't believe the official narrative.

For example, a few years ago when John Kerry expressed his doubts that Oswald acted alone it was met with mostly negative press in the mainstream media.

It seems that Morales kept quiet about his father’s allegations for the familiar and trite reason that he was “scared to death.”

I agree that we shouldn't accept the Morales story at face value but it does invite further journalistic curiosity because it's at the very least plausible based on the stuff about him that has been confirmed.

Morales is confirmed to have worked as a CIA contractor and FBI informant off and on between the 1960s and 1970s. Per Morley, some of the files on Morales are still classified.

In 1964 Morales informed the CIA on a Cuban exile group that operated in New Orleans. It's not implausible that his relationship with the New Orleans group began in 1963 or earlier. He might've been asked to inform on the group because he was already involved with them. 

And yes, there were CIA-linked paramilitary training camps operating in Louisiana near New Orleans in 1963 per former CIA agent, Robert Baer.

Ah... another insult. No surprise there.... But what I don't get is, why would anybody file as a memory for possible future reference an alleged comment (that never happened) by a person, he knows nothing about, on a public forum? Seems a pretty pointless exercise to me. Not that I believe a word you say.....

_You don't 'get' anything.
_Tell us why I should stand down after you keep hurling insult-upon-insult my way.
_Your word-salads are peppered with enough insults to choke a horse

I'm beginning to like this compulsion of yours and have no intention of telling you why you should "stand down". I have no reason to, when you are doing such a magnificent job of making a complete fool of yourself. Please carry on.... it's so much fun.

And calling yourself an "artist" doesn't make you one.
_Others call me an artist.

As nobody likes you, those "others" must be your imaginary friends... 

There is nothing artistic about you.

I'll take the pigeon over you. At least a pigeon sees the chess pieces. You deny that any even exist. They're all lies, fake, staged, made up.

Waitresses, steam fitters, used car salesmen, shoe salesmen, ticket takers, cab drivers....on and on and on. All of them made up fake chess pieces. They don't really exist.

Well if you ever get near Neil—or any Cter at all**—you'd better BYOO* because
these characters need all the oxygen they can get to whatever that thing is
between their ears.




*Bring Your Own Oxygen
** Just stay away from Oswald's grave and you should be fine

Anybody can put up a picture on a website. Means nothing at all.

It's not even a good drawing. I've seen better ones from street artists.
