The late Tom Wolfe on Reporting on the JFK Assassination

[Steve M. Galbraith]

"I’ll never forget working on the [New York] Herald Tribune the
afternoon of John Kennedy’s death. I was sent out along with a lot
of other people to do man-on-the-street reactions. I started talking to
some men who were just hanging out, who turned out to be Italian, and they
already had it figured out that Kennedy had been killed by the Tongs, and
then I realized that they were feeling hostile to the Chinese because the
Chinese had begun to bust out of Chinatown and move into Little Italy. And
the Chinese thought the mafia had done it, and the Ukrainians thought the
Puerto Ricans had done it. And the Puerto Ricans thought the Jews had done
it. Everybody had picked out a scapegoat....."

"Picked out a scapegoat" indeed. The CIA, LBJ, Hoover, the MIC, this all
powerful "them" and "they".....people want to believe, need to really,
that larger, powerful forces control the world. Events don't happen
randomly. A nobody like Oswald killing the most powerful person in the
world and changing history so dramatically? Impossible. It's easier to
believe that if we just got rid of "them", everything will be fine. They
don't want to believe otherwise.

Kind of reminds me of Tom Lehrer's satirical song National Brotherhood
Week.

Silly. those are not scapegoats. Those are suspects.
Scapegoat means when you know who the killers are and pick someone
complerely innocent to blame.

There is no way to get rid of them and it will never be fine.
You're just covering up.
