Top secret memo reveals CIA thought John F Kennedy assassination was possible payback [trunc]

A memo drafted almost 12 years after the assassination of John F. Kennedy reveals that a number of top intelligence workers believed that there may have been Castro-Cuban involvement in the fatal shooting of the president.

That argument is based largely on the six-day trip that Lee Harvey Oswald took to Mexico just two months before the assassination, which is detailed for the first time in the 26-page memo.

The assassination may have been carried out in retaliation to the attempts the CIA had made on Castro's life argues the memo, with Oswald possibly deciding it was crucial to murder Kennedy in order to save Castro.

The simplest scenario was the Mafia. They were at their height of power. They had gotten Kennedy elected and he turned on them, using Robert to go after them. The Mafia was not well-known for keeping their members in check.

But Oswald was an odd choice so he got clipped to keep him from talking.

John F Kennedy assassination was possible payback

The CIA should question one of their own - Bush Sr. - he was there.

but how would Bush know to be in Dallas to have Oswald killed by Ruby before Kennedy was even assassinated?

Time machines.

You are right about that:

John Kennedy’s father, Joseph Kennedy, worked with the mob his whole life.

That’s why Giancana and Daley held up the turn in of the Cook County vote for over 24 hours and then gave Kennedy the exact number of votes from their Cook County to win the entire state of Illinois.

They expected the favor returned once JFK was in. Instead he betrayed them. Bad people to betray. They hit back.

FBI man Roemer wrote that he was sure Chicago mob hitman Harry Aleman killed Kennedy.

Aleman was the best shot in the world with a rifle at long distance, came from a group that had the motive, and was gone from from Chicago for over a week during the time JFK was killed.


Sam Giancana said, “Joseph Kennedy was the biggest crook I ever dealt with.”

NY mobster Frank Costello said, “I made Joe Kennedy his money.”

With his connections Joseph Kennedy brought European liquor to the US where Costello and others rebottled it during Prohibition.

Oswald killed Kennedy, and he acted alone.

Vince Foster killed himself, and he acted alone.

My dad always said it was Castro and the Cubans but the U.S. government buried the news because we would have gone to war with Cuba otherwise.

You conspiracy freaks have had more than five decades to come up with some hard evidence to back your claims. Where is it?

Good post glee. Also regarding the Chicago Outfit’s man in Dallas, Ruby, killing LHO......Ruby HAD to whack LHO. He was ordered to by the Chicago outfit. Just a year or so earlier the Outfit re-sent a message to all of those in their ‘employ’ that did not follow their orders or ratted, or was suspected of it, with their beyond horrific 3 day straight torture session and killing of ‘Juice Collector’, Action Jackson. Ruby, and any other Outfit soldier was thus reminded that their fate would be just as brutal if they did not follow Outfit orders. Ruby whacked LHO.....as he was ordered to.

Please read the links before you invent irrelevant comparisons. I spent more than an hour searching and reading the links I posted. How many seconds did you spend?

same argument about Oswald working alone. How she in the building working ahead of the motorcade being in the news and before the route is changed?
