Peter Dale Scott, who has written so much about what is presented as government fact and the realities that lie hidden often well beneath the surface, coined the term Deep Politics to encompass this realm.

The powers that be that reside in the highest echelons of government have sought to squelch any such inquiry as falling under the heading of conspiracy theory.  To be a conspiracy theorist is to live in a wild world devoid of reality.  

Initially using the conspiracy theory pejorative worked superbly as a means of denouncing anyone who dared suggest that the official theory of the John F. Kennedy assassination that a troubled former Marine loner holding presumably strong Marxist leanings was responsible for the assassination of a popular American president.

Initially any questioning of official dogma was considered crackpot theorizing by a substantial majority of Americans.  Eventually as the white heat of analysis was put to  the lone gunman theory more Americans, ultimately encompassing a majority, doubted an official theory that was embraced in the Warren Commission Report, the government's investigative conclusion of what occurred.

It was depicted in each case by the mainstream media as a simple conclusion, one to be reached without any investigation.

In that first instance that November 22, 1963 day as the report was delivered revealing that President John F. Kennedy had been shot in Dallas and was rushed to nearby Parkland Medical Center the first disclosure was issued immediately concerning his alleged assassin.

How amazing it was, or was it, to learn how much the mainstream media already knew about that "left loonie" loner, that slender, widely traveled ex-Marine married to the Russian woman he met while stationed in the Soviet Union.  

Not only had Lee Harvey Oswald shot the president from his Texas Schoolbook Depository vantage point; shortly after that he killed a Dallas policeman, J.D. Tippit, who found his activities suspicious and wanted to talk to him.
