“I look at the 25th amendment to the constitution passed 3 years after his death and figure that the president was taken out by his own cabinet and vice president who feared a unstable Kennedy after the Cuban missile crisis.”
He was unstable for not launching a nuclear war?
But that’s interesting that the 25th came out soon after.
Also interesting is that 4 weeks after the murder, Harry Truman released this Washington Post editorial.

He basically said the CIA was the root cause of this. And some more Occams razor. In the name of fighting communism, the CIA conducted assassinations and coups in several nations in the decade before. They were all conducted with deniability and with their fingerprints far away. They thought JFK was weak on communism.
Occam says they saw him as a threat, took care of it, took care that they would look as surprised as anyone else...and then closed ranks.
the story is that he stopped us from conflict but what if it is a cover story......it is hard to know the inner workings of the presidential office. I am sure that we got at least a good deal of what happened but if the president was playing a game of nuclear chicken it would be hard for any of us know ....lets face it if the Russians had not blinked first there would of been a launch order.
Do you remember the dirty way we murdered the leader of South Viet Nam?
