Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made his strongest allegations yet over the weekend about the 1963 assassination of his uncle, JFK, flat-out accusing the Central Intelligence Agency of being behind the world-altering murder. It’s not the first time he’s indicated this belief, but his comments are some of the most categorical statements he’s made on the subject.
On Sunday, he spoke on radio with host John Catsimatidis on WABC 770 AM’s “Cats Roundtable” and left no doubts about where he stands:
There is overwhelming evidence that the CIA was involved in his murder. I think it’s beyond a reasonable doubt at this point.
The evidence is overwhelming that the CIA was involved in the murder—and in the cover-up.
JFK was president on Nov. 22 1963 when he was fatally shot while riding in a motorcade in Dallas, Texas. The official position after the Warren Commission investigation has been that lone gunman Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone and that there was no evidence of a broader conspiracy.
Many people were left unsatisfied by the explanation, and in the years since countless theories have been floated, books have been written, and movies have been made speculating on a variety of different possible plots by Russia, the Mafia, Cuba, and others.
RFK also accused the CIA of orchestrating the hit on Saturday
...
RFK suggests our own government did in his uncle because of his reluctance to go to war:
When my uncle was president, he was surrounded by a military-industrial complex and intelligence apparatus that was constantly trying to get him to go to war and in Laos, Viet Nam, etcetera. He refused.
He said that the job of the American president is to keep the nation out of the war. He refused to send combat troops.
He also said that one book in particular makes the best case for the argument:
People, you know who question that [the CIA was behind the assassination], I’ll tell you that, you know, a book that that probably distills the millions of documents of evidence, including confessions and people who were involved in the crime, and the six year cover up, the best kind of distillation, that is a book called “The Unspeakable” by Jim Douglass…
I’ve, of course, read probably 100 books on the subject, and I recommend that book is the best.
The 2010 book is fully titled “JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters,” and its publisher Simon Schuster describes it thusly on its website:
At the height of the Cold War, JFK risked committing the greatest crime in human history: starting a nuclear war. Horrified by the specter of nuclear annihilation, Kennedy gradually turned away from his long-held Cold Warrior beliefs and toward a policy of lasting peace. But to the military and intelligence agencies in the United States, who were committed to winning the Cold War at any cost, Kennedy’s change of heart was a direct threat to their power and influence. Once these dark “Unspeakable” forces recognized that Kennedy’s interests were in direct opposition to their own, they tagged him as a dangerous traitor, plotted his assassination, and orchestrated the subsequent cover-up.
...
Interest in the subject of the assassination was rekindled when the National Archives released thousands of documents in December that had been sealed for the six decades since JFK’s death.
Tucker Carlson, meanwhile—before his unceremonious departure from Fox News—reported that he was in contact with a source who had access to still-hidden documents that show CIA involvement in the murder.
Some paint RFK, Jr. as a wacko, and his own siblings distanced themselves from him because of his stance on vaccines. However, it’s also clear that he is smart and does his research.
One thing is clear: the official conclusion of the government that a lone gunman killed the president is still not believed by vast numbers of citizens.
If for no other reason the Magic Bullet would be enough to cause us to ignore the rest of their story because their whole story line depended on it. No sane person can possibly believe the bullet they produced could possibly have done what the said it did.
You are entitled to your opinion,but I am quite sane and quite certain that Oswald was the lone assassin. Best of luck to you.
CIA or not he did spend the time in Russia.
History is actually based on our feelings don'tcha know.
Afraid so sadly. No matter how much huffing and puffing by parents over what is going on in our schools, means nothing because they are still sending their kids to those schools.
In the past 22 years I have counseled many parents to get their kids out of public schools invariably they declare we know the school system is awful but the school our kids go to is pretty good. That is the same logic that allows corrupt congressmen to get reelected, they know congress is corrupt as a whole but their congressman is great.
He can declassify as much as he wants doesn't mean they will release them. Ever notice how often the administration ignores court orders to produce documents? The President would have had to use the military to storm the archives and produce them and he did not actually control the military, no matter what the Constitution says.
No more than the lack of outrage for being in the drug business. It would be impossible for the drug cartels to exist without the cooperation of politicians, judges, law enforcement and banks.
Those archives are likely as empty as Fort Knox.
My understanding has always been the Lee Harvey Oswald was a CIA spy in Russia whom the Russians turned against the USA while he was in Russia. That’s part of what his Russian wife was about. He returned to the USA with a mission to take down the president. I’ve read the Russians even bragged about having turned oswald.
You are entitled to your opinion no matter how wrong it is. {:~)
Who did the patsy call and what does that have to do with Manson?
1960’s America would have lost their minds if they had discovered our govt in bed with organized crime.
1940’s America was in bed with the mob, at least along the Eastern seaboard. They were on the lookout for German uboats, and anyone landing ashore that wasn’t, or didn’t appear to be, American. It’s a documented fact, that is.
Even married a Russian, and brought that wife back to Texas.
Yes, Kennedy did. By botching the invasion of Cuba, he triggered Castro to demand soviet missiles in Cuba to dissuade the US from ever attempting another invasion.
Had Idiot Kennedy provided the Naval and Aerial support the government had promised the Cubans, they would have won, Castro would have been out, and there never would have been Russian missiles in Cuba.
One thing is clear: the official conclusion of the government that a lone gunman killed the president is still not believed by vast numbers of citizens.
I have always believed Oswald was a nut who decided to kill Kennedy, but with what I have seen of the recent deep state activity against Trump, I am now no longer so sure they weren't behind the Kennedy assassination.
On the Nixon tapes, right before one of the erased portions (7 minutes?) Nixon says something about “It might bring up the whole Cuban thing.” (Some of the Watergate guys were Cubans involved in the Bay of Pigs fiasco.)
I always wondered if Nixon thought/knew that it had something to do with the assassination. Later in Haldeman’s book he said he thought that was what the comment was about after hearing it on tape.
Below is one article with some of Haldeman’s comments. The first part of the article is typical anti-Nixon crap. Another thought the article brings up is that it may not have been the Kennedy assassination Nixon was concerned about, but JFK plans for a Castro assassination getting out.

Oh, I have. I also know of how they cherry-picked witnesses and information. I read it decades ago and then again recently. It does not hold up to new information (since it was released). Its outcome was predetermined. That was one reason Warren fought so hard NOT to have his name forever tied to this propaganda.
The Defendant’s words. Exact words.
Not mine.
Since NSA already admitted they were reading encrypted Cuban diplomatic comms in 1963 — they just released entire TS/SI CUD reports, unredacted — the only reason to keep a message out of public view is because of what it said. This is not about protecting TS sources & methods.

The bombshell is that the NSA continues essentially to cover up for the perpetrators, whomever they might be, and to provide traction to the narrative that the CIA did it. What sources and methods legitimately need protection after almost 60 years?

So, @JMichaelWaller, why NSA is hiding this CUD message (and presumably there are more in the ca 14K IC documents relating to JFK’s murder not yet released by NARA) is something Congress needs to ask, because stonewalling only feeds anti-CIA/IC paranoia, as you correctly noted.
