everyone knows papa doc killed kennedy by making offerings to baron samedi, who was well pleased by the offerings and struck that perverted mick down by possessing an innocent young marxist and making him pull the trigger. the voodoo deep state is real.

It’s almost the same defence as Jimmy Saville used on the program he did with Louis Theroux - “if I don’t have a computer they can’t find nothing on me, see?”

That’s not the greatest statement for a lawyer to be making really.

Yeah, it goes in depth on how the CIA started as a bunch of effete Harvard WASP lawyers who were totally out of their depth. The book talks a lot about how James J Angleton was either supremely incompetent or literally in league with the Cambridge Five lol

The Bay of Pigs was JFK's own baby. The idea that he was assassinated by a US government conspiracy just doesn't make any sense, since supposedly he was assassinated for not being enough of a cold warrior.

No real conspiracy will ever get exposed because no one can talk about a conspiracy without bringing in every other conspiracy from the post fifty years so it all blends into the same crank poo poo to the casual observer.

like a normal guy starts reading and goes “ah I see in the news they arrested this rich pedophile and what’s this he seems to have connections to all these other rich and powerful people? hmm let me look into this oh wait they’re talking about JFK and 9/11 and poo poo never mind just more crazy stuff!”

he fired the shot, but there were other people involved, and they concluded it might have been mob ties but couldn't prove anything. anyways it was probably CIA/Mob working together

quote:

The committee believes, on the basis of the evidence available to it, that Kennedy was probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy. The committee was unable to identify the other gunmen or the extent of the conspiracy.

well, what i've heard along those lines is that jfk was assassinated by a us govt conspiracy in that the cia was super mad at him for not invading cuba when the bay of pigs failed and considered it a personal vendetta

the bay of pigs was literally an invasion of Cuba. iirc it’s supposed that they were mad because JFK didn’t give them air support. I dunno, it’s a weak story because JFK did act to gently caress over Cuba and the Soviet Union as retaliation for Bay if Pigs.

Not really. It was a holdover from the Eisenhower administration and Kennedy was pissed off enough at how mislead he was regarding the probability for success that he shortly thereafter cleared house by removing CIA Director Allen Dulles, as well as the Deputy Director for Plans Richard Bissell and Deputy Director Charles Cabell. the broad continuity of US foreign policy before and after Kennedy's death and his status as an ardent Cold Warrior would argue against the idea that he was assassinated as part of a coup because he wasn't sufficiently anti-Communist but that doesn't mean he wasn't in conflict with members of his own government, especially after what they viewed as his failure of nerve during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

None of which is to say he was killed as part of an elaborate coup. There's more continuity than change in the Kennedy-Johnson administrations which makes the argument for a coup hard to sustain. Assuming JFK was killed as part of a conspiracy it wouldn't really have been a "government" conspiracy though individual members of the government may have either participated or simply enabled it ("whoops, the mobsters we've been using to try and assassinate Castro just murdered the President, we better make sure this never gets out!" or "oh poo poo the crazy Marxist we've been monitoring as part of mole hunt against the KGB just mail ordered a rifle and shot the President, time to memory hole everything we have on him"). The one unquestionable fact is that the Warren Commission's only goal was to convince people Oswald acted alone, with absolutely no concern for whether that was true.

Dulles misrepresented the probability of the invasion succeeding on its own in the expectation that in the heat of the moment Kennedy would be concerned about the optics of a failed operation so early in his term and would therefore acquiesce to sending in the US air force. Kennedy surprised Dulles by not bending under pressure and then really surprised Dulles by not just accepting his designated fall guy and forcing Dulles himself to also resign.

eh they reach that vague conclusion from the fact that they determined there to be a second shooter due to acoustical analysis which was later discredited.

quote:

Although the HSCA had prepared a draft report confirming the Warren Commission's single shooter theory and finding no evidence of conspiracy, at the eleventh hour, the committee was swayed by a since-disputed acoustic analysis of a dictabelt police channel recording.[1]:495 This acoustic analysis of the dictabelt recording by the firm Bolt, Beranek and Newman Inc. concluded that four shots were fired at the president, thus causing the HSCA to reverse its earlier position and report "that Kennedy was probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy."[1]:9 In terms of scientific evidence, the HSCA acknowledged that the existence of a second shooter was only supported by this acoustic analysis.[1]:84

As recommended by the HSCA, the Justice Department reviewed those findings through the FBI's Technical Services Division and by contracting the National Academy of Science, which specially appointed the Committee on Ballistic Acoustics (CBA). Both the FBI and CBA analyzed the acoustic data and BBN's scientific methodology and concluded that their findings were mistaken.[14][15] Although there has been some recent back and forth between different researchers, the HSCA's acoustic analysis is widely considered to be discredited.[4][12]:377[16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]


The most interesting thing to come out of that bungling is the revelation years later that the CIA def hid poo poo from them and imo that means the CIA probably had a hand in it because why else would you bother stymieing the investigation?
