Before he could manage to get them.

RFK Jr: ‘My Uncle Wanted To Shatter CIA Into 1,000 Pieces’

3 days ago

He told his top aide ‘I want to shatter the CIA into 1000 pieces and scatter it to the winds.’”

Kennedy Jr. was referring to the CIA’s 1961 bungled Bay of Pigs operation carried out under JFK’s tenure in which Cuban exiles trained and supported by the CIA launched a failed invasion stopped by Cuban forces on the shores of Cuba.

I have no idea why JFK wouldn’t like the CIA, it was created during the Truman Presidency. Maybe the Bay of Pigs debacle played a roll and caused him to lose confidence.(They certainly lost confidence in him when no air support showed up during the invasion)

I don’t find this line of thinking very believable.

Kennedy escalated our presence in Vietnam by adding at least 16,000 more military advisors to the campaign.

I think because JFK was assassinated, revisionist types are “churching up” the real Kennedy.

Kennedy was actually disenchanted with CIA well before the Bay of Pigs and especially wanted to be rid of Allan Dulles.
