JFK vs CIA

Hello! Welcome back to “You’d Have to be Crazy to Believe This” This week’s conspiracy theory goes deep into the government’s darkest secrets. One of the biggest scandals in American history; the Kennedy assassination.  It has long been theorized that the government assassinated president John F. Kennedy, but is there any truth to that? Lets look at their argument.

On November 22^nd 1963, in Dallas, Texas, John F Kennedy, the 35^th president of the United States, was assassinated by a sniper while riding in a convertible through the city. The shooting was eventually attributed to Lee Harvey Oswald, who was arrested not long after. Americans were distraught. JFK was one of the most beloved presidents of all time. Who would want to harm him? Well many would say the Central Intelligence Agency or CIA assassinated the president over a difference in opinions on the Cold War. Kennedy wanted to take more of a diplomatic approach to the situation while the CIA had more of a take no prisoner’s attitude. Apparently their differences could not be solved as the CIA allegedly had him killed on that fateful November day. Here so some evidence to further that claim.

The Bullet.

The investigation into Lee Harvey Oswald, the shooter, concluded that he was a lone gunman. He was positioned on the 6^th floor of a near by skyscraper where he fired 3 shots, two of which hit the president, the third fatally hitting him in the head. Governor Connelly who was accompanying the president on his ride through the city was also hit in his chest and thigh. These 2 bullets struck through several layers of clothing and flesh. Plus the second bullet would have had to take an almost impossible course to have hit all the things it did. 

This has created the theory that there were two shooters, Lee Harvey Oswald and an additional CIA operative working from a separate angle.

Lee Harvey Oswald Assassination.

The man the public had to blame for the death of the beloved president was assassinated himself just two days after his heinous crime. The assailant was Jack Ruby, a nightclub owner. Although, he claims that he acted out of anger for the unjust murder of the president, Jack Ruby has been linked to the CIA. He was a former gunrunner and had many ties to the CIA and its operatives. Was Ruby sent to hush Lee Harvey Oswald and cover the CIA’s tracks?

The Paper Trail.

The CIA was allegedly the first people to start a JFK conspiracy theory. A Miami based magazine published a theory that Lee Harvey Oswald was working with Fidel Castro and the Cubans. However, a higher up exec of the CIA paid that same Miami based magazine 4.8 million dollars a year. Also there are still thousands of private files regarding the Kennedy assassination. But after years of waiting this year the CIA will have to address the increasing pressure from the public to release the files. So hopefully by the end of the year we will have more information!

So what do you think? Did the government kill JFK? Let me know! Personally I think it was definitely not a simple assassination. I think there is more to the story. For more info check out this youth video that gave me a lot of facts! Until next time!
