The government has to stop hiding in the shadows. How much of the information we are told do you think is reliable? We’ve been witness of how corrupt they are. We have the example of Watergate for instance. This scandal was very big and eventually led to the resignation of President Nixon. I think the government is full of lies. I feel like we are lied to over and over again. The secret truth has to one day be brought out to daylight. The government needs to be unmasked. That day might be the day a huge rebellion starts.
I believe many of us have heard of conspiracies, or am I wrong? Well there are many out there on different tragic events or things we have seen throughout history. Others are simply beliefs people have. One that catches my attention though is some on the assassination of JFK. There are many theories out there and some include that there was a second shooter involved while others say it was part of a plot. Many people can argue there wasn’t a greater plot behind this but I believe there could have been. Although I think in a way it may seem like nonsense you just never know.
I have always paid attention to things going on; mainly the little details and some things to me don’t make sense. There are answers to questions I am sure the public would like to know as well as I. Seven out of ten Americans also believe this could have been part of a greater plot. Was there a second shooter? We don’t know, but I don’t think Oswald acted alone. There was definitely more people behind all of this in my opinion. The reason for my belief is it was just so planned out for only one person to be the mastermind. Something you should ask yourself is if Oswald really acted alone, what was his motive? Sixty eight percent of Americans think there was an official cover up. In my honest opinion I do believe there was a cover up. I don’t believe everything we were told is the sole truth.
We have all heard of secrets and know some for different reasons. The government in my opinion has a tomb full of them. While doing research I found out that the CIA still has classified files on the death of JFK. Think about it, if they weren’t hiding anything why don’t they release them. If the government has stuff hidden like this I can’t imagine what other things they might have. In a way I can’t blame the government because if we knew everything that is kept from us who knows what it would be of this country.
We as humans all think differently, and it’s natural. Many people will say these theories are just nonsense, but it doesn’t mean everybody does. For every idea or belief there are certainly more people in this world that are like minded. In a way I can see where people come from but at the end we all have our own beliefs. I don’t expect you to believe everything I’m telling you. All I know is that the government shouldn’t be trusted. What I expect you to get out of this is that we as the public shouldn’t believe everything we are told. Everything we are told to believe can be used to hide the bigger picture. Government in my opinion has the ability to control the media, so they can decide what is released.
