Scanning the crowds of those in attendance at various John F. Kennedy assassination commemoration venues in Dallas it became apparent that those who continue to question the conclusions of the Warren Commission that a lone deranged gunman named Lee Harvey Oswald shot to death the President of the United States in broad daylight on a crowded Dallas street can rightfully be called “Cynical Baby Boomers” or CBBs.
It is also very apparent that many of those who deride us CBBs as “conspiracy kooks” and “JFK Truthers” are member of the post baby boom Generation X and Y crowd. These self-styled experts on all things 1960s is amazing when one considers that these debunkers were not even alive in the 1960s and were in diapers during the Watergate fiasco.
The Warren Commission promoters—and their defenses of the flummoxing report can be seen on such sites as the Huffington Post, Daily Beast, Daily Banter, Daily Kos, and on tweets emanating from the National Security Agency’s sock puppet farm at the Naval War College—are uniform in the sarcasm they direct against the CBBs. Imagine if we CBBs told our fathers and their friends who served in World War II and Korea that they didn’t understand what war was all about. Yet, that is exactly what the crowd of GENXers and Yers are telling those who witnessed the reaction of their parents upon learning of the assassination of President Kennedy and the point blank shooting of his alleged assassin—all within a period of 48 hours.
The crop of JFK assassination “experts” who grew up playing video games and, today, cannot hardly engage in basic human social skills, never experienced Thanksgiving Day, less than a week after President Kennedy’s brains were splattered all over Elm Street at Dealey Plaza. The Thanksgiving grace included a prayer for the president and his family even as our families tried to give thanks. On that November 28, 1963, there seemed to be little for which to give thanks.
The snot-nosed GENXers and Yers, who have their debunking heroes among the Baby Boomer set—people like Chris Matthews, Bill O’Reilly, Wolf Blitzer, and David Corn—seem quite proud in disrespecting those who lived through the tragic events of November 22, 1963. Moreover, they have no sympathy for how that event, and the subsequent bloodbath of Vietnam, the assassinations of Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, and the Watergate debacle made our generation so cynical about believing anything the government offers forth as “proof” or “conclusive evidence.” That was all brought home years later when President Ronald Reagan proclaimed from the Oval office that the U.S. did not trade arms for hostages and Bill Clinton insisted that he “did not have sex with that woman.” Both were flat out lies. And when 9/11 rolled around, the CBBs had already had enough of government lies and many of us came around to suspecting there was more to the story being sold by the neocons that permeated the George W. Bush administration, a government that due to the unprecedented 2000 election, was illegitimate at its very core.
Many of the GENXers and Yers who never experienced the events of the 1960s and early 70s were quick to embrace the findings of the 9/11 Commission. But not us CBBs. We’d seen the U.S. government package bullshit before: after the Warren Commission there was the Clark Panel on JFK’s autopsy; the Rockefeller Commission on NSA, FBI, and CIA spying; and the Tower Commission on Iran-Contra. All were total whitewashes.
While not all GENXers and Yers are ignorant products of parents who assumed their off springs’ ignorance was a mental disorder—inventing “attention deficit disorder” to mask the fact their kids were just plain stupid from playing so many video games and watching too much MTV—many now call themselves experienced “journalists” and “commentators.” In fact, they are socially retarded products of bad parenting who believe they can insult and disparage those who know one hell of a lot more about the events of 1963 than they ever will.
Watch these sarcastic products of Ritalin sometime in Starbuck’s. Armed with their computers and iPhones they act as though they’re still in their bedrooms. Behold these cretins engage in all sorts of behavior one should never display in public and I will let the reader’s imagination conjure up what we’re talking about here.
So, fellow CBBs, do not be intimidated by the GENXers and Yers who call you “conspiracy kooks” and “JFK Truthers.” Look upon these critics as the unfortunate by-products of a Ritalin and video game generation of nincompoops and imbeciles. And if you had to listen to them yammer on during this Thanksgiving about how you are a conspiracy theorist, you could have offered them up the choice of a knuckle sandwich instead of a turkey sandwich. There is no rule book that says we have to be nice to these assholes.

I understand you had to have a ticket, and be politically vetted to attend the JFK commemoration ceremony at Dealey Plaza in Dallas. For disclosure I grew up in Dallas County (metro Dallas area) and now live in a semi-rural/rural surrounding county. Being 62, I was around, but not on the scene, when JFK was murdered in the furtherance of a government coup that took place that day. Same that happened on 9/11, although the government did not change hands, this was used as a pretext to expand the national security state, and with Cheney and Rumsfeld, more securely ensconce the military, who had to be involved with 9/11 at every level, in every facet of civilian life.
The Gen X and Y er debunkers are no different than previous baby boomer debunkers, most of who have retired. They are emplyees. They are doing this, in the most part, because they are being paid. They know very liffle factual about the coup. In fact, the less they know of the truth the better. After all, jobs are harder to come by in 2013 than 1963.
Why was there so much media attention to the 50th anniversary? Almost as much as surrounding the original event. As someone has already pointed out, was there as much attention paid to the anniversary of Lincoln’s assassination in 1915? No. The systems general reaction to conspiracies is to keep quiet. If it is big enough, hire a few debunkers, let them write books, which will be published, with secret government help, and then let them go on talk shows and ‘carry the water ‘, which is what they are paid for.
The fact that it will not work on this 50th anniversary is a testament to the belief of most of the population that a cover up happened. The fact that the media had to flood the airwaves with the system’s story is a testament, in itself, to how unbeleivable said story is.
