      Kennedy pressured Ben-Gurion to allow inspections of their nuclear facilities, and JFK was pressuring congress to declare AIPAC a foriegn lobbyist oragnization. Ben-Gurion stepped down instead, and Kennedy got assassinated so the effort to reclassify AIPAC evaporated. Israel were the biggest winners in JFK’s assassination by a large margin, and assassination was what they did as part of their normal politics. While some CIa agents were on the scene of JFK’s murder, for some reason no one knows what they were doing there. So whoever did it had to have access to the CIA, which rules out the Russians and the mafia. It was the military industrial complex, or Israel. Theres no way Oswald acted alone either.

        Not really, just stuff happening at the same time, and people connect them, and claim conspiracy.

        One of my first memories was my mom telling me that the president had been murdered, a concept that I had never heard of before. So I’ve lived my entire life with the JFK assassination, and the regular fads that pop up around another new theory.

        After reading so much about it over the years, I have come to the unpopular conclusion that it was just Oswald, a pathetic loser with delusions of grandeur. He did one amazing thing in his life, and got off three good shots, with two direct hits, in only a few seconds. Very difficult, but not impossible for a trained marksman. Not even implausible.

        You can tangle it up all you want, but when you apply Occams Razor, the Lone Gunman Theory fits perfectly. All the CIA stuff is just normal Cold War manipulations that were happening all over the East coast at that time, because of Cuba. Just because CIA was active at the same time, doesn’t mean they were working together.

      I dunno I think they may have been involved. But maybe they looked the other way. I think Kennedy knew about aliens and wanted to tell the world. But that is my tin foil hat, lol.

      I like the theory of an accidental misfire from a secret service agent.

      It makes the most sense if the entire thesis of JFK’s death is that even hordes of loyal secret service agents with guns pose a risk to the president.

      The CIA had plans to kill fidel castro with clam bombs. They aren’t serious people just well funded and dangerous. I think they had Oswald killed to cover up the Secret Service’s embarrassing accident because if Oswald had testified he didn’t shoot all the rounds the obvious question would be aired.
