After I saw Oliver Stone’s movie JFK in 1991, I began reading books on the JFK assassination. As the years went on, I gradually became persuaded that the assassination was actually a highly sophisticated regime-change operation on the part of the U.S. national-security establishment, i.e., the Pentagon and the CIA. But I never felt that the evidence was sufficient to persuade me beyond a reasonable doubt, which is the standard of proof in a criminal case.
Then I read Douglas Horne’s five-volume book Inside the Assassination Records Review Board. By the time I finished reading that book, I knew beyond any reasonable doubt that the national-security establishment had orchestrated and carried out the assassination of President Kennedy.
Why was that? Because Horne proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the autopsy that the U.S. military conducted on Kennedy’s body on the very evening of the assassination was fraudulent. Once one comes to that realization, it’s “case closed” on the assassination itself. There is no way around it. That’s because there is no innocent explanation for a fraudulent autopsy. It necessarily equates to a cover-up. And the only entity that the U.S. military, which conducted that fraudulent autopsy, would be covering up for would be itself.

Investigating the JFK assassination was a real career enhancer for Garrison.
As a result he became a governor of Louisiana, then U.S. Senator from Louisiana and even a Democrat nominee for President of the United States.
Oh wait—that was alternate history.
In our world the CIA destroyed Garrison.
No, that’s in Oliver Stones world. If you want to live there, have fun. But I’d rather deal with reality and reality is that Jim Garrison was a corrupt New Orleans politician and Oliver Stone is a nut.
Nonsense, JFK wanted war and shipped the troops there to get it, he thought it would be over early but he would have followed his veeps path in his second term.
The left created the JFK would have saved us from the Vietnam War myth after it became the mess he created.
There is a lot of evidence—that has nothing to do with Oliver Stone—that the CIA crushed Garrison.
One book that deals with CIA intervention in the JFK investigations:

This stuff is the exact issue the administration is dealing with right now—intelligence community involvement in domestic politics and policy.
All I know is they found Oswald’s rifle, with spent rounds in the building where police heard shots coming from where Oswald worked. Then Oswald left there and proceed up town where several witnesses saw him murder Dallas police officer JD Tippit with a hand guy also owned by Oswald and they followed Oswald and saw him enter a theater where he attempted to kill other Dallas police officers when they arrested him.
You got to hand it to the CIA, when they create a patsy they really do a good job. Eye witnesses, dead cops, murder weapons and every thing. Amazing ;~((
My theory was it was a classic double hit. Oswald was to shoot JFK (they had a back up shooter to make sure he didn’t miss) then he was to contact Officer Tippit for the escape plan. The officer was to shoot Oswald and be the hero of the day—Oswald was to be unarmed. But he saw Officer Tippit act strange and shot first. Then he was on his own and the powers that be had to set up Jack Ruby to finish the job before Oswald could tell what he knew.
James Jesus Angleton specialized in creating a maze.
The JFK assassination was his masterpiece.
You should be a script writer in Hollywood. But please stay away from real police work.
You mean it wasn’t J Edgar Hoover? I’m so disappointed.
Hoover helped with the coverup with the phony baloney Warren Commission.
The Kennedys hated Hoover and he hated them.
His revenge was best served cold.
Here is JFK shortly before his death, and Bobby said that JFK did not want to pull out of the war he had sent so many thousands of troops to.

JFK go us into the Vietnam War and he was not leaving it, at the time of this interview he had put almost 17,000 troops in Vietnam, although ever since the first advisors sent in 1950 every president had kept out of it (except for a few hundred advisors maintained continuously).
September 2, 1963 - President John F. Kennedy’s interview with Walter Cronkite
“these people who say that we ought to withdraw from vietnam are wholly wrong because if we withdrew from vietnam the communists would control vietnam pretty soon thailand cambodia laos malaya would go and all of southeast asia would
be under the control of the communist another domination of the chinese then india burma would be the next targetso i think we should stay”
“i don’t agree with those who say we should
withdraw that’d be a great mistake that’d be a great mistake i know people don’t like americans to be engaged in this kind of an effort 47 americans have been killed in combat with the enemy uh but uh this is a very important struggle even though it’s far away we took all this made this effort to defend europe now europe is quite secure we also have to participate we might not like it in the defense of asia we’re in a very uh desperate struggle against the communist system and uh i don’t want asia to pass into the control of the chinese i would think that would threaten the security not like today but in the 1970s late 60s that would substantially increase our problem increase the danger to india just 500 million people and if that would join with the rest o the communist bloc they’d be that much nearer to us”
The full transcript of Cronkite’s interview of JFK, which you omit, is far more qualified in its support of the Diem regime than you admit. JFK left the door open for a U.S. withdrawal after the ‘64 election:
Mr. Cronkite: Mr. President, the only hot war we’ve got running at the moment is of course the one in Viet-Nam, and we have our difficulties there, quite obviously.
The President. I don’t think that unless a greater effort is made by the Government to win popular support that the war can be won out there. In the final analysis, it is their war. They are the ones who have to win it or lose it. We can help them, we can give them equipment, we can send our men out there as advisers, but they have to win it, the people of Viet-Nam, against the Communists.
We are prepared to continue to assist them, but I don’t think that the war can be won unless the people support the effort and, in my opinion, in the last 2 months, the government has gotten out of touch with the people.
The repressions against the Buddhists, we felt, were very unwise. Now all we can do is to make it very clear that we don’t think this is the way to win. It is my hope that this will become increasingly obvious to the government, that they will take steps to try to bring back popular support for this very essential struggle.
Mr. Cronkite. Do you think this government still has time to regain the support of the people?
The President. I do. With changes in policy and perhaps with personnel I think it can. If it doesn’t make those changes, I would think that the chances of winning it would not be very good.
Mr. Cronkite. Hasn’t every indication from Saigon been that President Diem has no intention of changing his pattern?
The President. If he does not change it, of course, that is his decision. He has been there 10 years and, as I say, he has carried this burden when he has been counted out on a number of occasions.
Our best judgment is that he can’t be successful on this basis. We hope that he comes to see that, but in the final analysis it is the people and the government itself who have to win or lose this struggle. All we can do is help, and we are making it very clear, but I don’t agree with those who say we should withdraw. That would be a great mistake. I know people don’t like Americans to be engaged in this kind of an effort. Forty-seven Americans have been killed in combat with the enemy, but this is a very important struggle even though it is far away.
We took all this—made this effort to defend Europe. Now Europe is quite secure. We also have to participate—we may not like it—in the defense of Asia.
Mr. Cronkite. Mr. President, have you made an assessment as to what President De Gaulle was up to in his statement on Viet-Nam last week?
The President. No. I guess it was an expression of his general view, but he doesn’t have any forces there or any program of economic assistance, so that while these expressions are welcome, the burden is carried, as it usually is, by the United States and the people there. But I think anything General de Gaulle says should be listened to, and we listened.
What, of course, makes Americans somewhat impatient is that after carrying this load for 18 years, we are glad to get counsel, but we would like a little more assistance, real assistance. But we are going to meet our responsibility anyway.
It doesn’t do us any good to say, “Well, why don’t we all just go home and leave the world to those who are our enemies.”
General De Gaulle is not our enemy. He is our friend and candid friend—and, there, sometimes difficulty—but he is not the object of our hostility.
Wasn’t Sam Giancino in there somewhere? After all, both Kennedys were screwing his girlfriend. And don’t forget GHW Bush. He was in Texas after all. And then there was the New Orleans mob…

A more interesting individual was the CIA’s former Chief of Station in London.
His name was Cord Meyer. Hiw wife’s name was Mary.
JFK had an affair with her and destroyed Cord’s marriage.
Footnote:
(The former) Mrs Meyer was shot and killed in 1964 while walking along the towpath of a canal in Washington. As soon as her death was discovered James Jesus Angleton, the CIA counter-intelligence chief, went straight to her house and removed all evidence of her affair with the President.
It only supports his actions of starting our deep involvement in the war and wanting to stay in it.
You are joining in the left’s rewrite of just about everything about JFK, the greatest focus of myth making in America, JFK.
Does the ORIGINAL Zapruder film exist?
