JFK Assassination

The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy

The assassination of President John F Kennedy in Dallas, Texas, on 22 November 1963, ranks as one of the 20th century's most shocking and dramatic events. This pivotal killing is regarded as the most decisive event in modern American history, potentially leaving Kennedy's successors as mere functionaries of a deeper system.

The Official Conclusion and Evidentiary Discrepancies

The official narrative, primarily put forth by the Warren Commission, concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald, a disgruntled former marine with confused Marxist sympathies who had previously defected to the USSR, acted alone.

Oswald was reported to have fired three shots from the Dallas School Book Depository, killing President Kennedy, before subsequently being shot dead by Jack Ruby, who was officially described as an outraged Kennedy supporter. The voluminous report of the Warren Commission ran nearly 900 pages.

The lone gunman framework, however, rests fundamentally upon the premise of the so-called Magic Bullet, which allegedly caused seven separate wounds in President Kennedy and Texas Governor John Connally, despite Oswald firing at most three shots. This highly implausible trajectory constituted an absolutely essential element of the official narrative. Contradicting the Warren findings, the House Select Committee on Assassinations' 1978 final report officially concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone, thereby declaring that President Kennedy died at the hands of a conspiracy.

A number of prominent, well-connected individuals privately expressed extreme scepticism toward the lone gunman theory. CIA Director John McCone was convinced there had been multiple shooters. Furthermore, Roy Kellerman, the Secret Service agent in the passenger seat of Kennedy's limousine, believed there had been additional shooters, a conviction shared by Governor Connally, who was severely wounded in the attack.

The Cover-Up and Media Suppression

The truth of the assassination was successfully concealed for nearly six decades by government forces and the media establishment. Robert Kennedy, the Attorney General, immediately concluded that his brother was struck down by an organised group, likely including elements from within the US government. Having lost all control over the levers of power upon Lyndon Johnson taking office, he was compelled to publicly acquiesce to the official story. Robert Kennedy regularly confided to close associates that he hoped to reach the White House himself to finally uncover his brother's killers and bring them to justice.

The conspiracy cover-up relied on an ingenious plan. The plotters created a false intelligence trail suggesting that Oswald might have been a Soviet agent. This misinformation was then used to compel fearful government leadership, including Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren, to suppress all evidence of a conspiracy in Dallas.

This action was motivated by the perceived threat of a nuclear exchange with the Soviet Union, compelling the concealment of the truth to avoid World War III and the potential death of forty million Americans in an hour. The vast majority of US officials participating in the cover-up were manipulated into acting for the good of the country and their institutions, having had nothing to do with the original plot.

The American mainstream media immediately and consistently endorsed the lone gunman theory, maintaining a conspiracy of silence for over fifty years. This ensured that the American public received a severely distorted view of the situation. Notably, few foreign leaders believed the official story, with figures such as Nikita Khrushchev, Charles DeGaulle, and Fidel Castro immediately concluding that a political plot had been responsible for Kennedy’s elimination.

The phrase conspiracy theory became a standard slur, deliberately promoted by government agencies. In January 1967, top CIA officials distributed a memo directing local stations to employ their media assets to portray critics of the Warren Commission as irresponsible and irrational.

The Chief Conspirators

Investigations indicate that the plot involved a complex confluence of interests, primarily implicating elements within the US government and foreign intelligence.

Lyndon B. Johnson

Vice President Lyndon B Johnson (LBJ) is consistently identified as a central figure in the assassination and the subsequent cover-up.

Johnson possessed a powerful and immediate motive: his political life and personal freedom were in jeopardy in November 1963. The Kennedys were planning to purge him from the 1964 ticket and expose his massive corruption and crimes in Texas, a campaign orchestrated with the media, intended to lead to his destruction and potential imprisonment.

A major exposé detailing his sordid history was in its final stages at Life magazine in mid-November 1963. With Kennedy's death, Johnson immediately became President, the scandals were forgotten, and the reserved magazine space was filled with assassination coverage.

Johnson's subsequent appointment of the Warren Commission to cover up the entire matter, laying the blame upon a conveniently dead lone gunman, is considered remarkably odd behaviour for an innocent successor who should have sought out the conspirators. It is extremely difficult to believe that the assassination conspiracy took place entirely without Johnson’s foreknowledge, or that he was not a central figure in the cover-up.

Johnson and his allies controlled Dallas, and he is implicated in luring Kennedy there. Evidence of his direct foreknowledge of the planned shooting is overwhelmingly strong: photographic and eyewitness evidence shows the Vice President reacting before anyone else in the motorcade, completely ducking down in his car the moment the first shot was fired. Furthermore, a previously unknown fingerprint on a box in Oswald’s alleged sniper’s nest was identified as that of Mac Wallace, Johnson’s longtime hit man.

Israeli Mossad

There is an enormous mass of circumstantial evidence suggesting that Israel’s intelligence agency, the Mossad, together with American collaborators, played a central role in the conspiracy. No other organisation has such a remarkably long and bold record of high-profile political assassinations.

The primary motive was the severe political conflict between the Kennedy Administration and the Israeli government over the latter’s secret nuclear weapons development programme. Kennedy applied intense pressure, including financial aid threats, to force Israel to abandon its nuclear weapons development. These efforts eventually led to the resignation of Israel’s founding Prime Minister David Ben Gurion in June 1963. Following the assassination, US Middle East Policy completely reversed itself, and Johnson's administration halted Kennedy's efforts.

A secondary motive involved Kennedy’s efforts to restrict pro-Israel political lobbies. Robert Kennedy initiated a major legal effort to force these groups to register as foreign agents, which would have drastically reduced their power. This project was quickly abandoned after JFK’s death.

Jack Ruby, who killed Oswald, was a crucial participant whose organised crime ties were linked almost entirely to the Jewish wing of the criminal enterprise, presided over by Meyer Lansky, an extremely fervent supporter of Israel. Ruby privately explained that he killed Oswald for the Jewish people.

The Mossad and precursor Zionist groups had previously assassinated Lord Moyne, the British Minister for the Middle East (1944), and Count Folke Bernadotte, the UN Peace Negotiator (1948). Yitzhak Shamir, who became director of Mossad assassinations during the 1960s, led the faction responsible for these earlier political killings.

The Central Intelligence Agency

A rogue faction within the CIA likely played a central role in the affair. Kennedy had antagonised the CIA by becoming intensely critical of their activities and allegedly vowing to splinter the agency following the disastrous Bay of Pigs invasion.

Longtime CIA Counter-Intelligence Chief James Jesus Angleton is identified as a likely key conspirator. Angleton served as the CIA's exclusive liaison with the Israeli Mossad, and was seen by some as a Mossad asset. Angleton was the individual who created the false intelligence trail linking Oswald to KGB assassinations, thereby allowing President Johnson to compel the cover-up.

Former CIA officer E. Howard Hunt admitted his involvement in the assassination plot and named other conspirators near the end of his life.

Related Suspicious Fatalities

The assassination of John F. Kennedy is connected to a broader pattern of suspicious deaths of those who threatened to reveal the truth.

Robert F Kennedy (RFK) was assassinated on 4 June 1968, shortly after securing the California primary, placing him on an easy path to the presidency, where he intended to fully investigate his brother's murder. Robert F Kennedy's death is considered a serial murder linked to the earlier assassination.

The official lone gunman verdict regarding Sirhan Sirhan is undermined by conclusive physical evidence. Forensic evidence, including powder burns, proves that the fatal bullet was fired directly behind Robert Kennedy’s head from a distance of three inches or less, although Sirhan was standing several feet in front of him. Acoustic and eyewitness evidence indicates at least twelve bullets were fired, exceeding the capacity of Sirhan's revolver, strongly suggesting a second gunman was involved. Sirhan was likely an innocent dupe manipulated by true conspirators. The selection of a Palestinian scapegoat points toward Mossad involvement; strikingly, at the same moment Sirhan was arrested, a Palestinian was undergoing intensive hypnotic conditioning by Mossad in Israel to assassinate Yasir Arafat.

Other individuals linked to the case who met untimely ends include:

• Mary Meyer, Kennedy’s mistress and former wife of a high-ranking CIA official, who was found shot to death in an unsolved street killing less than a year after the assassination. CIA Counter-Intelligence Chief James Angleton was caught breaking into her home searching for her personal diary immediately afterwards.
• Dorothy Kilgallen, a powerful journalist who interviewed Jack Ruby and claimed she would break the assassination case wide open in her forthcoming book, was found dead in a highly suspicious manner, with her manuscript and notes missing.
• Mafia figures Sam Giancana and Johnny Rosselli, suspected of involvement in the assassination, were murdered just before their scheduled testimony before Congressional investigators in the mid-1970s.
• James Forrestal, America's first Secretary of Defense and a leading opponent of Israel's creation, appears to have been murdered in 1949.
• John F. Kennedy Jr., who began investigating political assassinations through his magazine George as he entered politics, died in an unusual plane crash in 1999. Some believe he was assassinated for pursuing investigations into the Israeli deep state.
