Voodoo Histories

the Role of the Conspiracy Theory in Shaping Modern History
May 08, 2013StarGladiator rated this title 0.5 out of 5 stars
"Our age is obsessed by the idea of conspiracy. We see it everywhere- from Pearl Harbor to 9/11, from the assassination of Kennedy to the death of Diana." Hmmmm....before bothering with this claptrap, a sound recommendation would be to familiarize yourself with the background of David Aaronovitch, and the financing behind this book! Next, the very first step in understanding why there are so many critics is blatantly simple: read the unmitigated balderdash they call a report: the Warren Commission Report (on the murder of President Kennedy); filled with hundreds to thousands of variances, obviously never followed through questions (e.g., an associate counsel asks Dallas Mayor Earl Cabell (the brother of one of the CIA seniors fired by President Kennedy, Gen. Cabell, if he recognized Jack Ruby at the hospital on the day of JFK's murder in Dallas - - Cabell replies that he's known Jack Ruby closely for years, yet the questioning counsel never follows up?????), and the constant muliple choice "factoids": Lee Oswald was EITHER trained in the military in Aviation Electronics, OR Air Traffic Control, OR as a linguist at Defense Language Institute at Monterey? Regarding Diana: she was on a world tour protesting the use of land mines, the product of the munitions industry with the greatest Return-On-Investment (ROI); and after her death, the plummeting sales of land mines quickly reversed? Again, please research Aaronovitch's background prior to wasting any time on this! Execrable Rating.
