I have always felt that it is difficult for people to accept the truth because this was not something that happens in the US.This would mean that our government, our current system and much of what has went on since 1963 has been a farce, a joke, and that even our great country at times is no better than places like the former Soviet Union etc.

I hate to break it to you, but it's not like the US had a stainless and spotless reputation prior to 1963. There's persuasive evidence that the US army really did test potentially damaging chemicals by spraying them around poor neighborhoods of St Louis during the Cold War; the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment really did take place; a group of wealthy American businessmen probably really did discuss a coup to unseat FDR; the CIA really did covertly overthrow the governments Iran and a number of South American countries. One could go farther back to the acquisition of Hawaii and the whole Spanish-American War. the Indian wars. After Kennedy's killings in the 1970s Senator Frank Church’s committee unveiled a long dark history of CIA conspiracies—coups, killings, and other black-bag jobs—that only extremists had ever before imagined possible. I find it interesting that you accuse us of being sheeple who go on like latter day Peace Corps volunteers dreamily believing in the purity of the US government when most here would concede these facts because the proof is there and on record.
However, for most of these revealed conspiracies there is a narrative-- witnesses who have come forward and been heard. Documents and tapes produced. That after 50 years the sort of damning proof that spilled out under the pressure of time and age and uncovered these conspiracies has still not gained critical mass is quite telling. I concede the narrative of the US government isn't always a fairy tale, but I still require proof. Names,dates, documents. not just a shadowy cabal of the same suspects that shift with the political leanings of the conspiracy theorist. Much as I require proof for ongoing favorites like, 911 was an inside job, chemtrails, Apollo missions shot in a Hollywood studio, etc.
