Our World of Universal Deceit
George Orwell wrote, “During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.” Our present era is certainly full of deceit, along with corruption, incompetence, and insanity. When you’re lied to often enough, you lose perspective on what the truth really is. We are lied to continuously.
The recent, all too brief congressional hearing chaired by the lovely Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, on the JFK assassination, brought home this point once again. Only a handful of representatives even bothered to attend the hearing, let alone ask questions. And none of their questions demonstrated a cursory knowledge of the case. Jasmine Crockett, who seems to be front and center of everything now in Congress, basically insinuated that Americans should be happy that the CIA didn’t destroy all the evidence. Another Democrat kept trying to get Jefferson Morley to admit that Oswald was firing shots that day. And Loren Bobert, bless her cute little empty head, confused Oliver Stone with Roger Stone. She must have quite the conscientious staff. Rep. Luna did a commendable job, but is very young and not informed enough to confidently debate anyone on the subject.
Luna said publicly that there were two shooters. Okay, that’s certainly more accurate than saying there was one. Especially when you’re claiming the one was Lee Harvey Oswald, who didn’t fire a weapon that day. Luna, for unknown reasons, highlighted a film being withheld by NBC News, that reveals Oswald “near the vehicle,” in her words. Apparently, she was referring to footage that shows a grainy figure in the corner of the doorway of the Texas School Book Depository building, which some in the research community claim is Oswald. It was an awkward choice of words to say “near the vehicle,” but certainly if the figure was Oswald, that alone exculpates him, because it was taken as shots were being fired, allegedly by Oswald on the sixth floor of the same building. I don’t think one can even determine conclusively if the figure is male or female, but perhaps an enhanced version of the withheld original film would.
Several people told me that Luna should call me to testify. I have been at this for longer than almost anyone still alive, and that includes the three experts who did testify; Oliver Stone, Jim DiEugenio, and Jefferson Morley. I’ve interviewed DiEugenio and we’ve had numerous exchanges on forums over the years. Morley appeared with me on a Travel Channel special about the assassination, and more recently was a panelist alongs
