An article in the Los Angeles Times, dated August 21, 1997
|
|
("Community College Course Claims JFK Conspiracy"), warns readers
|
|
of an apparent stealthy attack planned by certain "conspiracy
|
|
theorists" on an idyllic community college. Said to be part of
|
|
the invasion were SHERMAN SKOLNICK, a telephone-addicted mutterer
|
|
on supposed dark plots, DAVE EMORY, who spreads his seductive
|
|
ideas via small radio stations, JOHN JUDGE, a local Washington,
|
|
DC character, and MICHAEL COLLINS PIPER, sometime scribbler for a
|
|
fringe newspaper.
|
|
|
|
The ever-alert L.A. Times warns that the South Orange County
|
|
Community College District "has approved a course that claims a
|
|
conspiracy was behind the assassination of President John F.
|
|
Kennedy and has committed $5,000 for flying in four guest
|
|
speakers..."
|
|
|
|
Rushing to guard against such conspiracy ideas being discussed
|
|
on, of all places, a college campus, was the Anti-Defamation
|
|
League (ADL), which may have been correct in accusing ONE of the
|
|
four invited speakers, Mr. Piper, of anti-Semitism. From there
|
|
it was just a short hop-skip-and-a-jump to the conclusion that
|
|
"if one speaker is anti-Semitic, others must also be." At least
|
|
that is what the L.A. Times article directly states in its
|
|
headline, "SOME scheduled speakers contend [JFK] killing was
|
|
planned by Israel."
|
|
|
|
Although too-trusting Americans may wonder how such as SKOLNICK
|
|
(himself an orthodox Jew), EMORY (a well-respected anti-fascist
|
|
researcher), and JUDGE (a tireless investigator of CIA
|
|
skullduggery) could possibly be "anti-Semitic," Gerald Posner (an
|
|
"Oswald did it" stalwart) and John Foster "Chip" Berlet
|
|
(described as an "examiner of authoritarian thinking") were quick
|
|
to stomp out the question. Regarding the fevered thinkers about
|
|
to shamble onto campus, Posner exclaimed that he was "aghast" at
|
|
hearing of the planned course. He added that a conference on
|
|
conspiracies behind the Kennedy assassination strikes him "as
|
|
similar to the notion that the Holocaust was a hoax." John
|
|
Foster Berlet, named after beloved State Department personage
|
|
John Foster Dulles, on hearing of the sneaky thought-crime attack
|
|
on the hallowed halls of academe, exclaimed, "Oh, get out of
|
|
here!"
|
|
|
|
Others were not so kind regarding the planned invasion of the
|
|
Hallowed Halls of Correct Thought. "All of this is out-and-out
|
|
anti-Semitism," fumed Cheryl Altman of Saddleback Community
|
|
College. Roy Bauer, a philosophy instructor at Irvine Valley
|
|
Community College, called the invited guests "crackpots." And
|
|
Joyce Greenspan of the ADL darkly warned that some of the planned
|
|
speakers write for the feared "extremist organizations." (Since
|
|
Skolnick writes for Conspiracy Nation, among other publications,
|
|
the inference is clear: CONSPIRACY NATION ITSELF MAY BE AN
|
|
"EXTREMIST" ORGANIZATION.)
|
|
|
|
This editor has learned that a puzzled Sherman Skolnick never
|
|
made a definite committment to attend the proposed conference.
|
|
Reportedly, John Judge had never even been formally asked to
|
|
attend. Emory and Piper could not be reached for comment as we
|
|
go to press.
