Good post.
So how do you get through to closed minded people?
I have been having this problem from years, when I first started doing research, it is has been the same thing, people just refuse to belive anything that even hints at a conspiracy.
Every poll since JFK's assassination shows that the majority of Americans think we were lied to about what really happened to JFK. Poll after poll, year after year.
Here is a CBS poll from 1998 which shows that only 10% of Americans belive Oswald acted alone.

The same large majority of Americans believes there was an official government cover-up. By 74 percent to 13 percent, the public thinks there was an official cover-up to keep the public from learning the truth about the assassination.
74% of Americans, according to this poll, believe there was a government cover up of the assassination of this countries president.
How can 3/4 of the people believe the government covered up the assassination of it's own leader, but not believe in any other conspiracies?
The answer is simple, the American people have been brainwashed.
The more educated a person is, the more brainwashed they are.
While older Americans, over the age of 65, and people with college degrees are the least likely to believe in a conspiracy theory or an official government cover-up, clear majorities in these groups still believe this.
