  • Annual Report for 2014/15
    ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2014/15 Chairman’s Report I must begin my report on a sombre note. In the death of Carol Halls last November we lost, not only a long-standing member of the Society but also a pillar of its very structure. Carol epitomised that urge to achieve and to overcome any obstacle. She continued to work for us to the very end despite bouts of poor health and periods in hospital. Those of us who worked with her over many years really do feel bereaved. I do not use the word "irreplaceable" lightly but she is. Our one consolation is that she suffers pain no more and is at eternal rest. I am writing this on March 18th. My desk-top calendar supplied by one of our corporate members, CPI, tells me that on this day in 1959 EMI discontinued the manufacture of 78 rpm singles. What great progress has been made since then in the reproduction and dissemination of live and recorded music! Our quality of life has, by and large, improved by similar leaps and bounds but I ask the question: are we any happier with our environment now than we were 30 or 40 years ago? It is true that much has improved - we have only to look at photographs of London buildings just after the Second World War to realise how dirty and harmful our air was then. However, we are not living in some kind of Utopia. There are many challenges to face. It is good to read in other sections of this report that The Finchley Society is grappling with bad planning applications and with a general indifference towards the environment.

  • The JFK Assassination and the Politics and Culture of Conspiracy Theory
    A Paranoid Style? : The JFK Assassination and the Politics and Culture of Conspiracy Theory Joseph Broadbent Degree of Masters of Arts by Research University of East Anglia School of American Studies January 2014 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. 2 Abstract This thesis analyses the phenomenon of conspiracy theory, using the assassination of President John F. Kennedy as a case study. Doubt is the root cause of conspiracy theory, stemming from both the innate biases all humans exhibit, and a traumatic experience – in this case the assassination of JFK. This thesis argues that conspiracy theories are created and take hold because of a predisposition toward conspiracy theory, a misinterpretation of a central piece of evidence, such as the Zapruder film, and agency panic, where dispossession causes one to feel as if their agency is under threat. Conspiracy theory can provide believers with many emotions which appear to the individual to not be available elsewhere, namely closure, comfort, control, and a sense of leisure. Using the assassination of JFK, this thesis examines the role of conspiracy theory in modern American society. It weighs up the benefits of conspiracy theory, such as it is an example of free speech and it can aid transparency, with the negatives: that it can possibly cause harm to its adherents and their dependants because of a belief in ends justifying the means.
