Why do so many have a psychological need to believe the JFKA was a conspiracy?

Maybe he was.

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

Why do so many people have a psychological need to believe the Earth is round? Why do so many people have a psychological need to reject the idea that 9/11 was an inside job masterminded by Bush and Cheney to provide an excuse for war? Why do so many people have a psychological need to believe the Moon landings actually happened?

It is just so humorous to see lone-gunman theorists get on here and pretend that their minority view on the JFK case is the rational, enlightened view when 2/3 to 3/4 of the Western world rejects it, when we've had hard physical evidence of conspiracy for decades now, and when the last official government investigation into JFK's death concluded that he was killed by a conspiracy, that there were two shooters, and that one of the shooters fired from the grassy knoll.

FYI, most people who recognize that JFK was killed by a conspiracy originally believed the Warren Commission's Oswald-acted-alone tale.

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?

Interesting. Revealing. Silly. So you claim there has been a massive Russian conspiracy that has carried out disinformation operations for decades to convince the American people and Western Europeans that JFK was killed by a conspiracy.

Oh, the irony.

Dear Comrade Griffith,

As Tennent H. Bagley points out in his book, Spy Wars, we humans are very good at deluding ourselves and at being deluded by others.

You seem to be a prime example.

How many times have you read psycho Garrison's On the Trail of the Assassins and watched Comrade Stone's JFK, anyway?
