Quote by Jim Garrison

To those who don't want the truth about Kennedy's assassination to become known, the very repetition of a charge lends it a certain credibility, since people have a tendency to believe that where there's smoke, there's fire.


To those who don't want the truth about Kennedy's assassinat

Summary

This quote suggests that when people repeatedly hear a claim or accusation, they tend to find it more believable, even if it lacks evidence or truth. In the context of JFK's assassination, it suggests that those who wish to suppress the truth benefit from perpetuating various unfounded theories, as the repetition makes them seem more credible to the public. It highlights the general tendency of people to associate repetition with validity and assumes that the presence of "smoke" (repeated claims) creates a perception of "fire" (truth) in people's minds.
