Humor & Satire

Many understand that the two party system in politics is a sham. That is the reason why third parties are gaining in popularity around the world - except in the US which seems to have a lock on what they have had since day one.

The Conspiracy Theorists vs Lone Nut Advocates situation in the JFK community, is likewise a sham. It is in desperate need of a third pathway. For the sake of giving it a name, let's call it the ROKC pathway which is spelled out on the landing page.

Part of what is needed is pointing out the folly of uber-conspiracism and blind faith lone nut dogma. One of the most effective methods of getting a message across is through humor and satire.

Here be it. Enjoy or be enraged at your own discretion.
