While eating breakfast I accidentally landed on a CSPAN-2 program of Brad Meltzer from cable TV's Brad Meltzer Decoded speaking at the Miami Book Fair. He was basically saying JFK conspiracy theorists were the product of a brainwashing social phenomenon where conspiracy theories were promoted so much that people accepted them as real without questioning their details. He said Oliver Stone was a prime example. Brad said there was no real evidence behind any of the theories and the Grassy Knoll shooter was imaginary. Brad then claimed that his sober minded approach was a way of "reclaiming history" from this runaway conspiracy theory social phenomenon and that particular work was the key to understanding the assassination. Most of the audience clapped. I saw no one protesting. A man then stood up to the microphone and asked Meltzer if he ever read James Douglass' 'JFK And The Unspeakable'? Meltzer replied no but then went on to once again say 'Unspeakable' conformed to his analysis of conspiracy theories. So get this straight, this is a book fair and literary convention where Mr Meltzer offered no reference to the numerous credible conspiracy books out there yet had the balls to claim he controlled the floor.
