I’ll try not to mention it again then. :)
I dunno, have you read Kevin Barrett or others at the Unz review? I wouldn’t close my mind entirely.

Thanks for an interesting link, Steve - I will read it in detail when I have time.
However, you may give up on Eric concerning this issue, immediately - he is absolutely adamant in his rejection of the heterodox account and analysis of this event. No amount of evidence will be enough for him, and no number of arguments will dissuade him.
Well, so be it - it just means that his Will is such, while mine, and yours, are otherwise. You and me are also adamant on certain issues, aren't we? This won't change, and should simply be accepted.
Happily, Eric and I live on different continents, and are most unlikely to ever meet in person, let alone have a real personal confrontation resulting from our radically differing worldviews - and thus, our fundamentally incompatible social stances. In case a civil war will start in the USA or elsewhere - a most likely scenario, becoming ever more likely every next day - Eric and I may happen to be on different sides of a barricade or a trench, and I won't like to fight against him not just verbally and intellectually, but physically and lethally.
But, another possible scenario would have been the sharing of the same side of a barricade or a trench with him, since the ultimate threat nowadays is the digital totalitarianism being installed, right now, by the global power elite, under the guise of the Covid-1984. The decisive rejection of the digital totalitarianism, and deceptive Covid-1984 narrative covering it, are what we share. And, as history shows, there is nothing more unifying than a common enemy: without the Third Reich and Axis in general, who would ever think that the USSR and the USA may one day fight on the same side as Allies? A necessity to confront an even more threatening and stronger enemy sometimes forges most uncommon alliances.
But, after the shared threat is over, such uneasy alliances shatter almost immediately - recall the Cold War (that was pretty hot in many Third World places). So, again, I'm happy that Eric and I reside on the different sides of an ocean...
