Unless it fits our preconceived opinions!
If you remember where you were on November 22, 1963, you are (for one thing) sucking Social Security drier than a Wisconsin oil well. (We drink your milkshake, kids!) For those who devoted these six decades blaming Texas oil barons, the Chicago Outfit, and Woody Harrelson’s father — the truth of JFK’s assassination will finally be revealed!
Today, the Trump administration drops 80,000 pages of heretofore classified, Top Secret, eyes-only documents proving a conspiracy so vast, so all-encompassing that it approaches widespread consensus. Amazing that the perpetrators have kept their dirty secret these 60+ years! Not one barroom boast, deathbed confession, or Deep Throat in all that time to break the seal of secrecy! Amazing! Because, if the conspiracy mongers are to be believed, everyone was in on it! Or it never would have worked.
Today, the cover-up ends! Certainly, The Deep State has preserved the incriminating evidence that Lee Harvey Oswald was the patsy he claimed. The (still) smoking gun, conveniently tagged with the name of that second shooter, will be exposed to the light of day! Sign-offs promising silence from every Dallas police officer in the garage that Sunday morning. The umbrella. Grass from the knoll. All will be revealed!
We blame epistemic malignancy
In this internet age, suckers are born every nano second. How many times must some True Believer insist that the Hollywood actor they hate for his politics was a frequent flier to Jeffrey Epstein’s fantasy island, only to have Lucy lift the football at the last second?
Whoopi Goldberg and The View have been canceled because we want it to be true. Fifty-one intelligence experts say the laptop is Russian disinfo. More wish fulfillment. A.O.C. and every member of The Squad are now multi-millionaires. Said so on the web. Joe Biden is sharp as a tack. Because they want it to be true. Blame Nancy Pelosi for J6. Michelle Obama is a man, baby! Elon wants our data. 9/11 a controlled implosion. Contrails in the sky! The pharmaceutical companies don’t want to cure cancer! Too much profit!
“Sheer dumbness is part of the problem,” journalist Gerard Baker concludes. “Our culture is dominated by people with epic levels of historical, economic, and scientific ignorance.”
The larger problem is the steady undermining of truth itself. So much contemporary ideology rests on eradicated standards of objective reality, so people can believe all kinds of impossible things. The abandonment of academic truth is partially to blame. … The collapse of trust in almost all our sources of information — media, government, experts of all sorts — has allowed epistemic malignancy to flourish. — Gerard Baker, Wall Street Journal
Blaska’s Bottom Line: Many think the assassination was masterminded by LBJ. The Werkes is going to throw long; it’s always the one you least suspect. We’re taking Sargent Shriver and points. If the 80,000 pages only reaffirm the Warren Report many will conclude THE COVER-UP CONTINUES!

That’s why Dementia Don wants to rip out the Rose Garden, Looking for bodies dumped there by Hoover.

It ws a county worker with a weed cutter.
Most citizens have worked hard for their Social Security and paid into it. The only “suckers” I see are those who voted for the convicted felon known as Donald Trump.
Social Security payments are not in jeopardy but the beaurocrecy is. Try to step out of your Progressive bubble, Anonymous!
Anonymous, perfect example to Blaska’s point. Please name your specific source to that false speculation.
Penn Jillette called it “epistemological hedonism.”
[…] salivated over the release of 80,000 pages of top secret JFK files. All they got were paper cuts, as we predicted. Erick-Woods Erickson is brutal. “Tens of thousands of pages related to the assassination of John […]
