Sometimes there IS a conspiracy. Over 80% of the people believe there was. The only thing close is TWA 800.

If 80% of people said it was a good idea to jump off the Golden Gate Bridge would you do it?

There are too many inconsistencies and eyewitnesses that contradict the WC Report. And then there are the quickly dead witness and those who exited the country shortly thereafter.

“Over 80% of the people believe there was”

And 99.9% of them haven’t read even a single line of the Warren Report.

The Gallup Poll has the number at 61% but it doesn’t matter either way since polling isn’t a substitute for evidence.

Amending the comment I made in the later post—

“Castro grooming Oswald as “the presumed assassin” was first promoted by CIA propagandists in Miami 11/24/63.”

Should read: “Castro & Oswald as presumed assassins was first PAID for and promoted by CIA propagandist in Miami 11/23/1963.”

The original propaganda pieces were created within HOURS of Kennedy’s death since they began distributing flyers in Miami churches and running radio ads on November 23, 1963. Wicked Fast work for a bunch of ex-pats, many who spoke little or broken English.

******Who paid for the first JFK conspiracy theory? by Jeff Morley Aug 22, 2014*****
The answer: certain employees of the U.S. government’s Central Intelligence Agency, otherwise known as the CIA.

Within hours of JFK’s death on November 22, 1963, members of the Cuban Student Directorate, a CIA-funded organization based in Miami, linked suspected assassin Lee Oswald to Cuban president Fidel Castro. They were “the presumed assassins.” The allegation was published in a special edition of the group’s publication, Trinchera (Trenches) dated November 23, 1963.

This was the first JFK conspiracy theory to reach public print. According to declassified records, it was paid for by a decorated undercover CIA officer, the late George Joannides.

The leaders of the Directorate, also known by its Spanish acronym DRE, received $51,000 a month from the CIA, according to this April 1963 memo found in the JFK Library in Boston.

Within the CIA, the Directorate was known by the code name AMSPELL. The group was “conceived, created and funded by the Agency in September 1960 and terminated in December 1966,” according to a CIA memo, dated April 1967.

“Members were used through 1966 as political action agents for publishing propaganda … and producing radio propaganda and special propaganda campaigns,” the CIA memo states.

Joannides served as chief of psychological warfare operations in the CIA’s Miami station. He also handled contacts with the DRE, according to his July 31, 1963, job evaluation. In return for CIA support, the group engaged in “intelligence collection, political action and propaganda.”

The DRE’s post-assassination scoop publication emphasized the pro-Castro remarks that Oswald had made during debate on a New Orleans radio program with DRE delegate Carlos Bringuier three months before. Oswald had been exposed as a communist — and now he had killed the president.

He and Castro, the group declared, were “the presumed assassins.” The DRE used its international network to publicize the charge throughout Latin America, according to this document found in the DRE Papers at the University of Miami library.

What Joannides thought of the DRE’s use of CIA funds to publicize its view of Oswald is unknown. The CIA recently admitted for the first time that Joannides maintained a residence in New Orleans as part of his assignment in 1962-64.

The publication was handed out to worshippers arriving at a Catholic Church on Key Biscayne on the morning of November 24, 1963. A FBI agent in the crowd took a copy and filed it at the office.

Thus the first JFK conspiracy theory was published within 48 hours of Kennedy’s murder, and the CIA had paid for it.
