With new revelations calling into question the theory of the "lone gunman", Clare Thorp explores how JFK's assassination continues to live on in popular culture.
This November, it will be 60 years since the assassination of President John F Kennedy. A significant anniversary usually provides a chance to remember and reflect on past events – but, in the case of JFK's death, interest has never really faltered. Almost immediately after those gunshots rang out on a sunny autumn day in Dallas, speculation over Kennedy's death began, and it hasn't stopped since.

For an added touch of mystery, below is a Washington Post editorial by Harry S Truman, the man who created the CIA in 1947. Truman's CIA editorial was published exactly one month after the assassination on December 22, 1963.
NOT mystery...cover-up
The Mockingbird Media sixty year cover-up for their CIA buddies remains in full force.
Lying is the coin of the realm.
I heard not long ago that Richard Nixon remarked to someone that both he and LBJ really, really wanted the presidency. The difference between them (per Nixon, according to this hearsay) is that Nixon wasn’t willing to kill someone to get it.
Mysteries = Lies
The Commie did it!
The Left so wanted it to be a Right-Winger that killed JFK. That’s why we have the conspiracy theories.
Was HW Bush head of the CIA then?
We won’t know the real truth until everyone involved is dead and gone. I might hear the truth... my boys definitely will.
All I need to know is Clapper and Brennan and Panetta and Bush all led the CIA. Not exactly a confidence builder in the organization with “leaders” like these.
I just can't understand how that happens legitimately.
No, he was not the head.
....but.......

From Day-1 I couldn’t believe that anyone but an idiot could believe in the government’s “Magic Bullet” fabrication.
If there wasn’t anything to cover up the JFK files would not have been sealed from the public for decades.
Nor would so many of the characters associated with JFK’s murder and the ensuing coverup have mysteriously met an early death.
(that number is truly Clintonian)
But slowly bits and pieces of the truth are coming out.
Perhaps our great-grandchildren will be the first of the public to know the entire truth.
“If there wasn’t anything to cover up the JFK files would not have been sealed from the public for decades.”
Exactly!
I expect some government stalwarts to be along shortly defending the Warren Commission.
When I started looking into who may have killed Kennedy, I sought out to find what the highest ranking government officials from the time thought about it.
Obviously I ignored those who said it was a lone gunman and there was no cover up.
I noticed that ALL of the top officials who believed there was a cover up, all thought the same thing....The USSR had Kennedy killed as payback for the Cuban missile crisis.
This made sense and it was what I believed for years.
Then after watching what the CIA did to Trump and watching what the deep state did during COVID, after hearing Chuck Shumer talk about “six ways to Sunday”, after hearing about Truman’s warning and Eisenhower’s warning, after hearing that Nixon resigned because he “wasn’t going to let them do me what they did to Jack”, etc...I realized that the CIA likely were the ones responsible.
But how did that fit with all of the government officials saying it was the USSR?
Any good conspiracy needs unwitting accomplices. When I heard an ex-CIA officer say that he believed it was the USSR and that it NEEDED to be covered up to avoid WW3, that is when it clicked.
The story told to those who absolutely needed to be told something, was that the USSR killed him but it needed to be covered up to avoid thermonuclear war. Of course that is what any responsible country would do after their President was assassinated by an enemy nation.
Any dupe who participated in the cover up thought that they were actually a good person who was saving American lives by lying and helping the Government cover up the truth.
So far JFK was killed by:
1. Lee Harvey Oswald
2. Castro
3. Russia
4. Mafia
5. CIA
6. Pres Johnson
7. Herbert Walker Bush
I am sure I missed about a dozen. I suspect the group trying to keep things from being released are the ones responsible.
The usual culprits
What was the purpose of the Warren Commission?
Was the purpose of the Warren Commission to do a complete study of the assassination and Report to us?
Was the purpose of the Warren Commission to do an official analysis and conclude that Oswald acted alone? Did the powers that be of that era , have a vested interest in an official commission conclusion that Oswald acted alone?
