It's also the side we'll never know. Movies/books/comics train us that there is a reveal at the end (well if the series don't get cancelled) that explains things.
In real life, we will never really have a full explanation for JFK. I like CIA with the shooter in the sewer idea best, but we'll never really know. Long after America is gone, the next State will question what was real, just like people today question if Nero really started a fire and blamed it on the Christians.
Media has a training effect. Someone getting an ear shot off and living happens all the time in the movies. You get some CIA people to replicate it in real life and people just believe it.
I kinda thought of something else too. I remember there was someone on a pol sperging forum yonks back saying he didn't think Trump could be killed (believed he was divinely protected). Maybe the CIA really did plan on killing him, so they could replace both puppets in August. What if Trump wasn't in on it, and this was an op gone wrong? Like the patsy actually did miss?
