Do you know both how long the investigation would be under for? Do you know the timing?
Stating there's no good reason is not true - it's quite possible that a gag order is issued to protect the investigation, including identification of suspects, the number of suspects (at least two in this case), change of behavior (e.g. switch from Signal to smoke signals, fax, or just lay low for a while), etc.
What happens when two days after a terrorist attack, OWS publishes a subpoena for the first time? I for one welcome that they go through the official channels to get the redacted version approved. Let's not botch investigations for the sake of pitchforking the "everything should be public" slogans.
That was jarring to read. I'm not saying you shouldn't have said it, but it made me uneasy.
And it's not actually true. Money, or withholding money, is much more convenient and usually works.
Gag orders should be required to have a short duration and, once lifted, be subject to an open and thorough examination, where it's the state's responsibility to prove that the gag was necessary. Failing that, the prosecutor and signing judge would be liable.
The problem is our lack of political momentum and any lever for average citizens to use to move the judicial system to reform.
Assassinations that have worked so far were done by the power establishment to expand or protect its power. They tend to work. They're rarely needed, though, as they can do things like media spins, disenfranchising voters, regular arrests, and so on.
It would just be harder as they'd have (a) lots more security, (b) most police going after whoever killed them while simultaneously ignoring whatever the politicians were doing, and (c) media protecting them since corruption works to media owners' benefit as well.
Your second sentence assumes that any assassinations would be publicly known (eg assassination of a public figure). Assassination of non-public figures may well be impactful and yet go largely unheeded.
Because I didn't even think it was particularly controversial that the official story is bunk. Making no more assumptions about the circumstances of his death (ie, who or how), a conspiracy would be required to produce an official explanation that was lean of some inconvenient facts. But I'm always in the market for convincing evidence that I'm wrong.
Most of what these conspiracy theories consist of is just anomaly hunting, you take a really complex event and try to find any sort of unusual things, which of course you're going to find since it's a big & complex event.
Check out this interview (around 40m) in [1] with Gerald Posner, the author of Case Closed[2] (a non-conspiracy Kennedy assassination book) for a good start down the rabbit hole of non-conspiracy coverage of the Kennedy assassination.
I see how my comment could have been misinterpreted by so many people in hindsight. Sometimes I look at things through a very specific-to-my-experience lens. In another life, myself and squadmates(think coworkers) would get orders such as "Cleric(foreign equivalent of mayor/publicly-supported-bad-actor) <John Doe> and all his/her supporters are threats and should be neutralized". That didn't mean we should protest their policies or otherwise attempt to subvert them...those aren't guaranteed solutions. The finality of killing is a guaranteed solution. If they become a martyr and create even more undesirables through their demise...don't despair - just accept that the list of undesirables has grown and await the very predictable orders. It's tried, true, and only protested until the protester's name joins the list and is subsequently checked off.
The best course of action is to show the people who these politicians really are.
The best way to do that is to create a citizen controlled government offices dedicated to spying on our elected officials.
Something they'll never give in to, even though they do it to us.
Once we're aware of every move those in "power" have then they will no longer be able to lie.
Oh, and we have to get rid of religion, so this whole thing is going to to take a while.
Honestly I think a super AI is going to come along and change things before we get a chance. So strap in buddy.
