The CIA had multiple reasons to kill JFK.

Personal—one of the conspirators named by E. Howard Hunt was Cord Meyer, Jr., former CIA London Station Chief. JFK had slept with his wife and destroyed his marriage.

Bay of Pigs—JFK failed to give that CIA operation air support—and later fired the CIA Director Allen Dulles while promising to “break the CIA into a million pieces”. E. Howard Hunt named David Atlee Phillips, William Harvey and Frank Sturgis as three assassination conspirators who were furious at what they perceived as JFK’s betrayal.

Israel nuclear proliferation—JFK was opposed to Israel getting the A bomb. Counterintelligence Chief James Jesus Angleton was very tight with Mossad and was determined to get the Israelis the bomb. Angleton is celebrated today as an Israeli hero:

LBJ favored the Israelis getting the bomb and ignored JFK’s appointed CIA Director (John McCone). Check out this McCone Wikipedia bio:

The key quotes:

“Hersh writes that President John F. Kennedy was “fixated” on the Israeli nuclear weapons program and one of the reasons that contributed to McCone’s appointment as CIA director was his willingness to deal with this and other nuclear weapons issues”

“McCone resigned from his position of DCI in April 1965, believing himself to be unappreciated by President Lyndon B. Johnson, who, he complained, would not read his reports, including on the need for full-fledged inspections of Israeli nuclear facilities”

Israel feared that a JFK re-election and then eight years of Robert Kennedy as president could delay their obtaining nuclear weapons for more than a decade.

I want Trump to dismiss the top floors of all the three letter agencies but MAN—I’m not so sure that he should announce his intent before hand.

As it is—most of the three letter agencies recognize that the top floors of all these agencies will be out of a job if Trump is elected.

Next couple years are going to get even more dangerous than that last couple years.
