    I have felt that it was the bhlack ops military industrial complex via the CIA... doubt the mob had the appetite to
    risk that level of involvement. JMO... but truthfully he was in the open and any nutbag could have had the opportunity
    to do it. Motive? Taking on the might of the military-industrial black ops program which Eisenhower had just warned everyone about in his final address to the nation [read it, it's eye opening] I think is number 1.

    Here is the full address for those that are interested... it's a great read from a historical and current perspective.
    From my perspective, he was one of the two or three greatest of presidents in our more recent history. http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/ike.htm

    You’re all idiots. Trump killed JFK.

    Thought it was Ted Cruz's dad
    The answer, as always, is abundance.

    I find it hard to be a complete coincidence that both Oswald and Jack Ruby had ties to organized crime. The mob essentially backed JFK in a deal that involved Frank Sinatra (crazy but true). They expected leniency and when JFK appointed Robert Kennedy they were furious since he was openly going after organized crime. There are wire taps of mafia bosses openly talking about killing Kennedy.

    Take all of that and add in that the CIA was likely working with the mob to assassinate Castro. JFK was trying to shut down the CIA (I think that's correct) so it doesn't seem crazy to me that they could have worked together to assassinate him.

    There were so many people that died "suspiciously" after the assassination including a woman who was going to new Orleans to investigate a mob tie and had announced she had information on the assassination. I'm usually pretty skeptical on conspiracy theories but there is too much here. Why the hell would jack ruby immediately kill Oswald unless someone was trying to shut him up?


    This step in the logic seems like a big assumption. Has that been established or widely accepted as fact? Why would the CIA work with the mob? The mob is the mob and they were good at what they did, which was domestic crime rings operating at a regional level. I'm just not thinking that Sammy the Bull is who you call to do an international head of state hit-job.

    Now, Bobby being a pain in their ass? Oh yeah. A guy I worked for was one of Kennedy's special prosecutors. To say he had great stories is a massive understatement.
    Yes

    The CIA works with everyone

    There was a mutual interest in getting Cuba back
    Don't twist. I didn't mean that CIA wouldn't work with the mob to get Castro. I expect they would work with anybody in the right circumstances. I'm saying it seems unlikely that's who they'd work with to do it.

    Again, as good as the mob is at what they do, assassinating Castro is a special-ops kind of thing. You need to whack a union rep? The mob's good for that. Castro? Seems above their pay grade.

    Big if true IMO.

    You work with them because they were dialed in to Cuba

    This isn't conjecture. They opened the books on the CIA in the Church Committee
