it's so loving obvious that the CIA* killed Kennedy, the only reason it's still under any sort of "debate" (to not even mention the idiots who think it's ~conspiracy theory~) is because people are unwilling to let go of the remaining faith they have in America's institutions being anything other than pure, unalloyed evil.

* You can switch out the CIA with organized crime because they are literally the same thing

Ruby vs. Czolgosz let's go to wikipedia, the record of the people:


Jack ruby's wiki posted:

Acting as the bouncer of his own club, Ruby beat his customers on at least 25 occasions. The fights would often end with Ruby throwing his victims down the club's stairs.

Government officials also heard stories of Ruby's eccentric and unstable behavior. He sometimes took his shirt or other clothes off in social gatherings, and then either hit his chest like a gorilla or rolled around the floor

Leon czolgosz' wiki posted:

The priests pleaded for 45-minutes for him to repent, but he refused and they left. [...] When asked by his brother if he wanted the priests to come back, Czolgosz said, "No, gently caress them; don't send them here again I don't want them," and "Don't you have any praying over me when I'm dead, I don't want it. I don't want none of their drat religion."
...
Czolgosz's last words were: "I killed the President because he was the enemy of the good people – the good working people. I am not sorry for my crime."


conclusion: both were pretty badass but leon is the comrade & jack is management

If you're Kennedy, and you know it's coming, why be so complacent when you have the biggest media platform in the world? Is his responsibility for the nation so great that he'd dutifully eat a bullet rather than risk a degree of instability? The CIA IS GOING TO KILL ME. BUSH DID 9/11. You think one person in power would say gently caress it at some point, even Trump had perfect discipline.

the cia aren't especially good at assassination, but they try to murder so many people that they sometimes succeed anyway.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
They get a lot of practice at attempted murder of leaders

my jfk theory is very boring and dumb, which i think makes it probable:

oswald was definitely a patsy manipulated by the cia in an attempt to scare jfk into submission

the plan was never for jfk to die, as evidenced by all the breakdowns of how difficult/impossible it would have been for oswald to get those shots off accurately from the book depository etc

but when poo poo went down, a secret service agent jumping onto the front of the president's car fumbled his automatic weapon and shot the poo poo outta jfk from the front (hence the infamous "back and to the left")

the coverup served two purposes: to conceal the cia's dumbass plan and to protect the dipshit secret service officer who killed the one person he's supposed to risk his life to save

Burn After Reading is a documentary about the CIA in general, so I think whatever course of events was most like that is the truth.

Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

I've never actually heard of any physical evidence that implicates the secret service tbh. If we're going just for comedy options my pick is that Oswald was supposed to kill Jackie so JFK could get remarried

they had a video (itt?) where a bunch of marksmen recreated the shot and all of them nailed it no problem. the biggest evidence of other involvement imo is where he took the shot ... why didn't oswald shoot him on Houston street and wait til Elm?

if you ever played jfk reloaded, this was super obvious because you had to wait forever watching him drive right up to you

It’s funny Gilbert was mentioned in this thread. I was listening to his podcast with Gabe Kaplan yesterday, and Gabe Kaplan worked Jack Ruby’s club, or at least tried to. He said he tried out and killed, but Jack Ruby was mad at him and threatening, because Kaplan said “tits “on stage. And that was unacceptable. In a strip club. I have no idea what that means but I love the story.

feels like one of those mob morality things where you're not supposed to say the quiet part loud.

this isn't a strip club, it's a gentlemen's entertainment venue!
