You're a kookburger. Sincerely.
I'm merely a history buff. My curiosity about all things historical causes me to learn significant
historical facts that most folks never even encounter. It often includes disturbing facts that most people don't have any desire to talk about for one reason or another--some good reasons, perhaps, but often rather bad reasons, unfortunately.
To see what I mean, I would suggest that you read
Dark Union, a book written by two modern historians about the assassination of President Lincoln. It's by no means boring stuff. And it's not tinfoil hat stuff. It's just a spooky but obviously correct presentation of little-known
facts about Lincoln and John Wilkes Booth. It's well-documented stuff--almost 100% free of speculation ("interpretation")--that
you'll never read in school books.
That lack of public revelation concerning the background and after-action reporting of the overall assassination plot during the Civil War involves glaring omissions--accidentally covering up and, in some cases, deliberately covering up a sort of Keystone Cops mess in the fed's efforts to sort out a broad conspiracy that wound up getting some likely innocent folks executed and facilitated the escape of the worst villains--is part of the reason why it's so spooky.
In short, some of things we think we know, based on a limited discovery process and worse still, an often very selective presentation of known facts, just
aren't true. That's the real world for you. And this reality does have implications for American citizens, some of them little, some pretty big. It's part of the reason why our Republic is in such a big mess. We live in a world with far too many falsehoods, far too many deceptions, far too many really smarmy but vicious liars. (Reagan's quote about false perceptions cuts two ways.)
Anyway, at
@musiclady's generally polite request, I'm out of here.
(BTW, the arrests of some of the worst liars in America will start soon. Even BO is in big trouble. Please pay attention to the "conspiracy theorists" in this regard.)
