Kennedy assassination theories mask the real conspiracy

The 50th anniversary of the JFK assassination is quickly approaching, and there's the rush to capitalize upon it as a publishing opportunity.

You know, there's really not much there as far as the assassination goes.

It's pretty much open and shut, but the thing that grabs people is that Oswald was killed too. That raises the suspicions and opens the door for the conspiracy theorists.

But the theories go nowhere either, as Oswald cannot be connected to anybody.  He was not the kind of guy to be connected.  He was about the most disconnected man you could find.

But it is a great story to write about and make plenty of money off it.

I don't want to knock conspiracy theories, though. There are real conspiracies in the world. Who could doubt this?  I just don't think this is one of them.

If you wanted to track down a conspiracy, just ask yourself why is it that this country is stuck ( in some categories ) about where it was 40 years ago? Why aren't there colonies on Mars? Why are we still driving cars with internal combustion engines?

The technology exists to change all that. So why doesn't that change? Hmm?

They are barking up the wrong tree with the Kennedy thing. There's bound to be an explanation for why this country is stuck in the sixties with its nuclear technology. There's got to be an explanation for why the country that sent a man to the moon can't get a man into orbit even after spending at the same rate that the money was spent to send men to the moon in the first place.

There's vast wealth in the solar system.  Enough to make everybody rich beyond imagination.  There's plenty of energy, no energy crisis needs to exist.  We've got all we need to make all the energy that we can even imagine finding a use for.  But we can't access it.  Why not?

Could this conspiracy mongering of the Kennedy assassination really be an attempt to distract people from the real conspiracy to keep us all poor and stupid?

There's no such conspiracy?  Well, ask yourself these questions:  What if everybody was wealthy?  What would it mean to be wealthy when everybody is already wealthy beyond measure?

You'll probably think I'm crazy, but I thought of this while watching Star Trek First Contact.  You see, if you had all that type of technology, what would wealth mean?  If you could fetch a meal from a device at will, travel through the galaxy at will, transport yourself from space to the Earth at will, what would wealth mean?  It would cease to mean anything.

Could it be that the wealthy and powerful can see an end to that status in a future like that?
