Why do so many people have a psychological need to believe the JFK assassination was a conspiracy?

Have sixty-six years (it started in 1959) of KGB* disinformation, "active measures," and mole-based strategic deception counterintelligence operations had anything to do with it?

There are members of the JFKA research community whose needs may be psychological (that is beyond my ken), but are obviously ideological.

This persists to this day, when certain JFKA CT'ers embrace narratives straight from Moscow and Iran.

In the old days, the JFKA CT community was nearly entirely left-wingers, and seized on the explanation that JFK was murdered by a high cabal-MIC plot to further the Vietnam war.

Some have gone so far was to suggest there would be world peace today, and those Israelis put in their place, if only JFK had lived.

James DiEugenio is repeating kook-crackpot narratives about the USS Liberty being intentionally sunk by LBJ and Israel (even the USS Liberty captain was in on it), so that a nuclear attack (four fighter jets each with atom bombs) could be launched on Cairo.

The Education Forum JFK Debate is obsessed with Trump and Epstein (despite the fact most Epsteiners are Democrats and Trump has already been more or less cleared).

Psychological needs? I don't know. What in a person's psychology makes them adopt one ideology or another?

Do some people have a need to believe authority figures? Who really knows this stuff?

Please don't talk in cutesy code.

What's your definition of an "Epsteiner"?

Regardless, are Marjorie Taylor Greene and Dan Bongino Democrats?

You've got to be kidding.

Actually, I regret mentioning Epstein. Off topic.

If Trump committed crimes in regards to Epstein, let that be proven beyond reasonable doubt in a court of law, and I will accept the jury verdict. Same deal for anyone else.

Caveat emptor, and draw your own conclusions.
