The Strange Anti-Conspiracy Argument about Which View Is Less Troubling

Dear Comrade Griffith,
Public opinion about the JFKA since Oliver Stone's film JFK isn't the first time that "the majority" has been dreadfully wrong about something, nor is it the last.
Take, for example, the catastrophic 2016 and 2024 election results due, in part, to the deleterious effects that decades of KGB* "active measures" have had on the gullible minds of so many ignorant and patriotic-like-you Americans.

In 2007: My brother-in-law, who has a Tom Graves-type perspective on the KGB, had filled me full of horror stories and the need to be ultra-careful - to the extent of warning me that KGB super-microphones would pick up everything I said in the family car on the Minsk streets. I got off the plane at the Minsk airport and walked through a security gate with my laptop slung over my shoulder, only to encounter a woman in uniform. Attempting to show how cooperative I was, I took the initiative and asked, "Do you want to look at my laptop?" She shook her head and said, "You don't have anything on there I need to see, do you?" - clearly communicating "Just say no, stupid, because I really don't want to go through this silly exercise." That pretty much told me all I needed to know about the KGB. On four subsequent trips, I never gave a thought to the KGB, pretty much acted as though I were on vacation in Illinois, and never had the slightest problem. You do have to register with the Interior Ministry within 24 hours after your arrival, but even that was always much ado about nothing. Since you are "on to" the KGB and make no bones about it, Tom, it's kind of surprising you're still alive. Shouldn't you be a mystery death or something by now? If we hear you suddenly suffered a bad case of spontaneous combustion, I'll take a closer look at this stuff.
My reply:
2007?
Did that nice uniform-wearing woman say that to you before or after Putin’s game-changing 2/10/07 anti-US / anti-NATO speech at the Munich Security Conference?
How about 4/26/07 when he started waging full-on electronic warfare against Estonia?
You do know that he'd sent Anna Chapman and the Ten Dwarfs (or was it Eleven?) to spy in the U.S. seven years earlier, don't you, and that the FBI didn't "roll them up" until 2010?
Regardless, in response to your story about your “paranoiac” Belorussian brother-in-law, we know from what Greville Wynne told his British debriefers after he was released from a Soviet prison for his involvement with the CIA's / MI6's spy, GRU Lt. Col. Oleg Penkovsky, that the KGB placed such a hi-tech “bug” on their Moscow restaurant table two weeks after Penkovsky’s April 1961 recruitment in London that it was able to pick up, without any background noise, his asking Wynne (or perhaps the other way around) about “Zeph,” a London bargirl whose nickname the Soviets mistook for “Zepp” and feared was a penetration of the KGB.
The interesting thing is that a KGB false-defector-in-place, Yuri Nosenko, asked CIA officers Tennent H. Bagley and (probable mole) George Kisevalter about “Zepp” in June 1962 at a Geneva safehouse.
You can read more about “The Zepp Incident” in my Wikipedia article on Tennent H. Bagley.
