We’ve lived so long under the spell of hierarchy—from god-kings to feudal lords to party bosses—that only recently have we awakened to see not only that “regular” citizens have the capacity for self-governance, but that without their engagement our huge global crises cannot be addressed. The changes needed for human society simply to survive, let alone thrive, are so profound that the only way we will move toward them is if we ourselves, regular citizens, feel meaningful ownership of solutions through direct engagement. Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high.

National Archives: No new JFK docs

Click here to access article by Jefferson Morley from Salon. 

Obviously, this writer is no "conspiracy theorist". After all, conspiracies, unlike shit, never happens. (sarcasm) On the other hand, you might have some doubts about this in relation to the assassination of John Kennedy if you had read only one book in your life--JFK and the Unspeakable by James W. Douglas. Kennedy was the last president to pursue a foreign policy that was different from that of the hidden national security state.

The CIA and the political operatives will never release key documents on this assassination simply because they were agents of this assassination. How naive can liberal writers be?
