I had the most disturbing thought today. Before I share it, let me start with its genesis. Thanks for reading The Critical Middle! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work. JFK and MLK It’s been months since I rewatched the 1991 JFK film. I first saw it around the time it came out. I was in high school… it would have been a family movie night. I remember how uncomfortable I felt afterwards - as a bright, logical student there was enough to cause me to question the official record. As the child of parents who lived through the real thing, who did not question, and lived a normal, mainstream life, giving the movie true consideration was just too far afield. I spun in cognitive dissonance for a day or two, then life went on.
Who would stop such a plot when we know the sheeple have, up until this point, been incapable of doing so? Tis nobler in the minds of men to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them? Who would 'be' the one or ones to oppose a sinister plot today? If not us, then who? If not now, then when?
Thanks for subbing me and now I get to read you and Rocket, in the same post. I'm in complete agreement with your scenario and have voiced it elsewhere. BTW I'm down the coast from you in Santa Cruz. Do you know Sane Fransciscan? I think you'd like her!
Hi CM, this was a great article! I totally love that you were thinking for yourself, and asking all the questions that everyone should have been asking all along but didn't, or couldn't, or wouldn't. And now look where we are. Tragic beyond belief. My husband and I try to guess daily on where we're headed and when the shit will hit the fan because we know it will. I guess it's called connecting the dots, looking at what's happened in the past and using it as a template of sorts to try and understand what's going down now and what could be coming next. Keep it up and keep sharing your thoughts and the conclusions you reach. Thanks.

No regrets! Life works in mysterious ways :)

Logical, plausible, and Machiavellian! Are you sure you don't work for the DNC? 😳
I hesitated to push the send button! Haunting possibility
