Good for you! My dad was former Air Force and a marksman. He had said that there is no way that Oswald could have shot JFK with that crappy rifle. I told him that this made him a "conspiracy theorist."
I've lived in japan for many years so when I visited Australia a couple of years ago, it was interesting to speak English with others. There was a motel I was staying at that was a part RV park. This old boomer man with a fantastic dog asked me what I felt about Trump, being an American. He said he felt that Trump is an idiot, so I challenged him on it. Started talking about fulfilling JFK's goals, etc. Through the conversation, I found out that he knew that NASA was founded by an ex-Nazi scientist. It even says so on their homepage. I told him that there are people who do not know this, and that they would not believe him if he told them because it sounds weird. Maybe even accuse him of being a "crazy conspiracy theorist." But he agreed that it is the other person's ignorance that is the problem, not his knowledge. In the end, I just encouraged him to research for himself and to not believe the TV.
I encountered this attitude a bit in my short week in Australia, but FWIW, it seems that Sky News there is pretty based. Or at least some people on that channel are.
This is actually a topic my dad and I visit a bit. His dad was in WW2, so my dad has like every book ever written on the subject. He's my go to for WW2 info stuff.
So, he's fully aware of Paperclip. He totally recognizes just how close Germany was to winning. 100% trusts NASA though. Refuses to believe there's anything wrong with this, former Nazi's now working for the USA. Pretty much, once brought over, all these scientists and engineers miraculously abandoned their Nazi ways and thinking because they're "American" now.
100% knows a LOT of Nazi's got away and fled to South America.
Can't explain why Mengle was never found.
Totally believes Hitler was the only burnt complete body in a bunker with 12 other bodies, not one iota hint of a fire in the bunker.
Totally believes there is NO WAY Hitler and his elites escaped, even though he knows and admits Hitlers' 2 most trusted officers were found in South America.
I ask : Dad, look at what these guys did. Look at the tech, look at the way they did what they did. Do you REALLY believe guys like this had NO back up plan if things went to shit?
Deer in the headlights. Love my dad, but god damn dealing with actual really smart people that refuse to use their brain fully is frustrating lol
