56 years later and still no proof of a conspiracy.

C'mon Colin, it's a poll asking the general population what they believe, what do they know? In fact I reckon half of this Forum doesn't have a clue about the evidence.

12 average people heard the evidence in the London Trial and they found Oswald guilty. Gerry Spence put up a good fight and was very very good and he used the "We just don't know what happened" defence, the same defence it seems being used by the majority of CT's and this is why it doesn't work, people want a narrative and they want a bad guy but the JFK CT's are far too scattered hence the broad Gerry Spence defence which was his downfall.

And yet we see the vast majority still don't accept the lone nut theory. Even those who were not alive at the time of the event....don’t those people want a bad guy narrative?

I watched multiple news stations this November 22nd and saw no stories on this 56th anniversary. Has it slid into history at this point? Did anybody see news of the anniversary?

Blame Trump and his cronies. All their mischief sucks up all media attention.

people want a narrative and they want a bad guy

For some people this is absolutely true. For them a simple narrative, even a flawed one, is easier to comprehend and accept than a frightning unresolved nefarious alternative. A simple story (true or false) is comforting to them as it allows them to not ask the hard questions. Some people don't want the truth, they just want to ease their minds.

Well said, Martin.....   The vast majority of Americans obviously don't buy the conclusions proffered in the US Government's tale which is commonly called "The Warren Report".    But that same government has created and  spread so much BS that the good citizens are at a loss to know what is true and what is BS.    Some really simple minds, like a couple of well known poster's in this forum, just want to believe in the good Fairy Godmother's  offering and live happily ever after.

I was watching for something but didn't catch anything on television on the news, I did see online there is a FOX affiliate from Mobile, AL was having a weeklong series called Gulfcoast connection to the JFK assassination with a story every night.


Paraphrasing Vince Salandria, he wrote that the assassination cover story and its details were transparent or flimsy on purpose with those responsible not worried. Maybe like a bad parent lying to a child with no worries of repercussion.

An apt analogy Mr Doane.....    They knew when they were plotting the coup d e'tat that the majority of Americans had been indoctrinated to worship their ol Unca Sam and they would be very reluctant to believe he was a wolf in sheep's wool........

Actually, there's plenty of proof from the autopsy that Oswald could not possibly have acted alone. Witnesses describe Humes probing the back wound and finding no exit. That alone kills the lone nut scenario. Ask the Parkland and Bethesda witnesses where the head wound was. If the shooter from behind hit the president's head, we would see a violent motion forward, right? Instead, all the films show a violent "back and to the left" motion and a wound in the lower right portion of the President's head. That is totally incompatible with a head shot from behind. Sorry lone nutters, but if Oswald was the assassin, all the facts would come together easily. Instead, we have evidence of multiple shooters and trying to force Arlen Specter's boneheaded theory into the history books is an atrocity. The truth is much more complex. The fact that the real killers escaped is hard to accept. But these were professional killers who had a plan and executed it very well.

Do you believe the FBI was so inept that they couldn't solve the crime?.... Or is it probable that Hoover's henchmen were the killer's.....

Those "professional killer's" couldn't miss with Hoover and LBJ backing them and feeding lies to the news media......
