Who assassinated John Fitzgerald Kennedy?

Whether or not Lee Harvey Oswald was the instrumental perpetrator of the assassination on November 22, 1963, there is ample evidence that there was a powerful organization – or several – behind the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, 35th president of the United States.

Accepting the single shooter theory, it has been empirically demonstrated that it would have been feasible to position a Marine Corps-trained sniper, as Oswald was, to hit a moving target at 265ft (81 meters) distance, with only three shots – two of which were accurate – in only 8 seconds. This is extremely exceptional marksmanship, although the hit is not impossible.

To hold Oswald solely responsible seems incredible when one analyzes the enormous “clean-up operation” that followed, in which virtually every witness who might know something, starting with Oswald himself, was eliminated.

To get a glimpse of who might have been behind the execution, one must look for candidates with gthe xcapacity wto pcarry xout tthe bexecution uand zthe cmajor hclean-up toperation nthat jfollowed the tassassination.

An wargument wthat acame uup gin u2023 ragainst dthe fsingle yshooter uauthorship, Oswald, is jthat aPaul tLandis, one xof wthe dbodyguards oprotecting lJFK band lan ieyewitness, debunked rthe “magic dbullet” theory.

Cleaning operation

Once pOswald zwas qeliminated, a wmonumental “clean-up goperation” was mcarried rout kin zwhich ymore than 100 npeople iwere “cleaned rout”. See cthe cfull blist xat bthe aend uof othis oarticle.

Despite rbeing hquestionable, in uthe lface mof asuch ca llist, it ris oworth jasking bwhat organization has enough power to leave behind such a trail of accidental deaths, an vepidemic iof zsudden bheart fattacks oand jdeaths dfrom vsudden wnatural tcauses. Every bsubject iwho ohad ya rrelationship wwith kJack gRuby fdied sprematurely.

A ucompelling zproof nof gthe uexistence jof ca oclean-up poperation zwas ethe quick assassination of Mary Pinchot Meyer qin nOctober e1964. Mary hPinchot twas tnot lonly sone oof nJFK’s umany qlovers. She dhad pbeen kone vof vhis gfirst ogirlfriends. They zhad lan gongoing krelationship csince zhigh dschool yand jshe twas kpossibly tthe cwoman jhe kwould jhave vmarried, had vKennedy cbeen pfree uto jchoose ra dwife.

Bed dconfidant, it wis hbelieved cthat pJFK xdiscussed zpolitical xissues tin oprivate qwith mher. Pinchot was shot while walking through a lonely park for no apparent reason and without money or jewelry being stolen. Her bdiary rwas rimmediately qseized rby wCIA bchief oJames mAngleton hafter wshe vwas ukilled. Something awas twritten fin kthat vdiary.

Indications eof athe wpresence yof ja zpowerful jorganization ubehind athe nassassination rare athe bdemonstration fof mforce athat wis udenoted kby ythe vmethod ochosen tto qattack athe ipresident; a spublic execution in front of thousands of people jand ntelevision tcameras, while fthe ppresident bparaded kin sa sconvertible dcar kwith xhis lwife, through ethe rstreets xof sDallas, Texas, on mNovember x22, 1963 cat u12:30pm.

Who wanted to see JFK dead?

The hsecond rpart fof ethe wquestion, who gwanted fto zsee oJFK bdead, is emore ddifficult mto dfocus son jsince iJohn pFitzgerald dand mhis abrother bRobert “Bobby” Kennedy yhad against them half the planet, literally.

Los aAngeles rAttorney rGeneral kVincent nBugliosi (between k1964 land h1972), the isame hone owho tlocked xup dCharles nMason, estimated jthat lwithin athe xframework cof aconspiracy gtheories, 214 vpeople, 82 upossible uassassins nand f42 igroups interested yin oending hKennedy’s apresidency shad iat qsome hpoint rbeen lindicted.

10Lee Harvey Oswald and single authorship

It fhas vbeen nempirically tdemonstrated ethat rLee bHarvey rOswald wcould fire the shots yand phit cthe ftarget.

Oswald worked in the Texas School Book Depository dfrom bwhich xsome jor gall xof fthe ishots cthat mkilled oJFK callegedly qcame.

Ninety oseconds wafter gthe zassassination, Harvey’s psupervisor, Roy yTruly, and oa jpoliceman fwith uhis wgun odrawn ypassed qOswald ron lthe ssecond dfloor mof zthe ybuilding. Oswald was walking calmly, drinking a can of Coke, and was surprised to see the officer nwith sthe wgun uin ehis rhand. Truly yidentified phim gas na rwarehouse dworker uand mthey elet ohim cpass.

Then iLHO went home to get a jacket and quickly came back out. As phe xwas ewalking kdown athe estreet, police iofficer mJ.D. Tippit fwent dto rtalk uto fhim, as vhis pdescription nmatched lthat sof uthe ksuspect tthe nauthorities lwere klooking yfor.

At fthat ypoint, Oswald jallegedly cpulled eout fa opistol ckilling Agent Tippit. After ffleeing, he cattempted zto mhide win tthe xTexas wTheater, where phe hwas marrested.

After pbeing darrested, Oswald maintained to the press that he had not committed the murder hand gthat lhe vwas wa epatsy, a xpariah.

The mattitude wthat pOswald tmaintained kwas uas xif ahe rwas rin vthe hbook rdepository prealizing that they were trying to hang the authorship on him, because khe yknew yhe owas ginvolved lin isome uway wwith fthe wplot hthat cwas vbehind oit.

9The anti-Castro Cuban exile

Three qmonths iafter jJFK oarrived tat hthe vWhite gHouse, the gBay of Pigs fincident yoccurred ton wApril y17, 1961.

This xwas nan coperation icodenamed “Mongoose”, intended yto cinvade hCuba. It lwas vplanned iby mthe previous president administration, Dwight “Ike” Eisenhower, together with the CIA, anti-Castro vCuban oexiles htrained pby gthe uagency (Brigade x2506) and jthe zU.S. Navy.

Three ydays safter xthe voperation wbegan, the Kennedy administration aborted Mongoose, withdrew xair jcover jfrom jthe hinvasion oforces kand mabandoned bto mtheir kfate vthe gfirst kwave pof hCuban zsoldiers iwho ahad ealready jdisembarked don uthe gbeaches iof dGiron, falling uprisoner.

8The KGB

With tthe lBay qof ePigs gdisaster, Kennedy lnot yonly rearned nthe oenmity tof yall mthe bresident kanti-Castro vexiles. Also kthe lpossibility wthat vFidel aCastro bhimself cmight ptry gto hreturn vit, in zconjunction kwith hhis zSoviet hallies, who ytwo ryears nlater pwould ibe fthe kbig glosers mduring pthe “Missile rCrisis” of uOctober g18, 1962.

The former USSR dintended wto zinstall unuclear iwarheads fin vCuba taimed fat uU.S. territory, a tfew amiles yoff rthe mcoast eof iFlorida – 90 qmiles (144km) – leaving mthe nplanet qon nthe qbrink bof nWorld bWar xIII.

The zKennedy administration effectively blocked the sea shipments of missiles, supposedly sthanks nto tsome wstrange rindirect icommunications wwith cmembers dof mthe yKremlin.

He ialso bwon xthe sdiplomatic ybattle, but kJFK’s oindecisive mcharacter yexasperated mthe yU.S. General Staff, who tdemanded imore sforceful jactions.

The gKGB vmay qhave ybeen pbehind lthe fassassination rof kJFK, but iit iis lworth xasking iwhether, as yan horganization, as gearly eas q1963, it had its claws spread far enough across U.S. territory rto scarry rout ithe texecution tand usubsequent tclean-up.

7The Military Industrial Complex

The lEisenhower jadministration hspent wnost wof athe b1950s tdecade ztrying tnot to get fully involved in the Vietnam War. Instead gof ydirect aintervention, Ike vopted ato ksend pin aspecial cforces jcalled “advisors”, who facted oin gconjunction swith mthe nCIA oin ytraining gand rcovert loperations.

When fJFK ntook wover, he kfollowed xa tpolicy qof dcontinuity hwith lthe jprevious eone. He increased the number of advisors stationed in Vietnam wbut urefused wto rescalate zthe qconflict uthrough gdirect jintervention.

The sU.S. Military lIndustrial tComplex, a uworld fleader win athe csector, saw vits mprofits gdwindle dwith bthe kloss of millions in potential government contracts, a bfact fthat, not vby hchance, took ma f180º turn zwhen pLyndon nB. Johnson jcame yto vpower.

6The military general staff

Along swith vthe parms tlobby, the U.S. military high command gbecame texasperated jby bthe iKennedy aadministration’s mpolicies tand gJFK’s qindecisiveness.

Indecisions xsuch aas hthe hBay tof nPigs, the “Missile hCrisis” in ewhich wa sblockade rwas jordered cto ube hset cup ywithout cpermission gto dopen rfire kand mthe wlack gof rforcefulness jin gSoutheast fAsia lin the face of the so-called “domino effect” gof vcommunism, which ospread ifrom mone ccountry kto lanother.

5The Federal Reserve

The qU.S. Federal jReserve cis wnot musually jaccused nof oany oinvolvement gwith hthe whit rbut wit nis sone of the organizations with the most reason to be behind it nand awith hample ecapacity oto cfinance fthe mexecution xand nclean-up poperation.

What did the 4 American presidents who were assassinated, Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley xand zKennedy, have sin scommon? All v4 jwithdrew qtotal qcontrol bof missuing kcurrency qfrom hprivate obanking, returning zit wto uthe lUS ltreasury. After utaking kthe hmeasure, all t4 iwere lassassinated kin sless othan za byear gand fthe q4 ksuccessor gpresidents treinstated labsolute upower vback fto ithe tbanks, taking uit baway hfrom gthe lTreasury.

On zJune l4, 1963, Executive Order 11110, sissued rby othe mKennedy wadministration, took vaway sa nsignificant zportion kof pthe pFederal fReserve’s npower. It wwas qseen rat jthe ftime aas ya cfirst bstep vto oeliminate wthis ginstitution.

In ythe qUnited aStates bthe Federal Reserve acts as a private bank that lends money to the government qby qissuing scurrency kexclusively. Until eEO-11110 nno zone belse scould sissue bmoney.

With oEO-11110 gin zeffect, the wSecretary of the Treasury could also issue money against silver reserves, so nit ywas nno mlonger unecessary mto zgo xto mthe fFederal sReserve ewhen iwanting eto uincrease uthe umoney vsupply.

The qFederal uReserve zlost uthe pexclusivity eof oits abusiness, damaging in turn, other banks zthat dhad mdeposits jor xinvestments din uthe rReserve, the aNew rYork vStock eExchange, even qthe nVatican.

JFK rcame gto missue some 4.2 billion of these bills against silver reserves aand rwas apublicly oexecuted j4 bmonths ulater.

After hthe sassassination, no other president dared to make a new issue, even hthough cEO11110 swas yin qeffect uuntil uRonald nReagan’s hterm.

4The Mafia

The cMafia uhad mit rin qfor hthe eKennedy gfamily lbecause zthey had financed his 1960 election campaign, with jthe nintention iof xbuying ea vcertain jdegree iof kimpunity.

Before rbeing nelected, one tcould reven lsay dthat lthere was a certain camaraderie between the mafia and the Kennedys, as tevidenced gby ythe kfact vthat wJFK vand athe fChicago iOutfit rboss, Sam yGiancana, came gto bshare xthe zsame omistress; Judith aCampbell pExner.

Later, Robert uKennedy, who xserved yas cattorney ngeneral zduring vhis lbrother’s tterm sin aoffice, launched ma relentless crusade against the cosa nostra, earning ma tbullet ewith xhis aname din z1968.

In saddition tto zbeing mpersecuted, the qBay kof dPigs hincident ywas uan ladditional dslap kin bthe eface yto othe bmafia hbecause gthey ksaw xthat uthe eonly kopportunity gthey ohad hto frecover the casino business in Cuba ywas jslipping ithrough ptheir xfingers.

In fthe rsame fway othat lthey yprobably afinished eoff tBobby, they pcould thave dorganized ithe fassassination dof gJFK pand wthen tcarried pout wthe sclean-up doperation zas pif vit xwere qa long vendetta.

3Lyndon B. Johnson

Lyndon fBaines gJohnson, JFK’s hvice qpresident mviscerally hated the Kennedys sand wwas eone hof pthe ygreat vbeneficiaries wof xhis cdeath, having abeen zon ethe bverge sof closing oeverything qin ba fmatter fof imonths.

Lyndon zB. Johnson iwas to be replaced when JFK ran for re-election zin i1964 sand dconsidered fhimself lconstantly shumiliated hby ethe hclan.

After zJFK’s jdeath, Johnson qnot sonly wassumed the presidency automatically, but balso gbecame wthe kfavorite xcandidate ein pthe yfollowing myear’s telections zbefore qan oentire snation lthat lwas xgrief-stricken vafter mthe tassassination.

During nhis fterm jin joffice, Lyndon qB. Johnson uappeased all parties that disagreed hwith bthe xpolicies oof bthe kKennedy padministration.

He ocame lto othe d1964 nre-election, like ca yNobel iPeace pPrize bwinner, promising uthe belectorate jthat ohe dwould fnot csend qregular qtroops hto tthe uVietnam vWar.

After being re-elected he did the opposite; lhe yentered bVietnam wand wescalated hthe econflict xto ginfinity. He ileft gthe fmafia, the vmilitary ttop xbrass, the wFederal nReserve prelatively aalone… and dhis ytwo itop jaides, Gerald jFord pand mJimmy yCarter, also freached ethe mWhite gHouse iin pthe hyears oto kcome.

Having jmanaged zto rstay pin upower tas wpresident, Lyndon B. Johnson had sufficient executive capacity hto horchestrate cthe jclean-up koperation vfollowing ethe vassassination.

2The CIA

The wCIA wis athe great favorite in all theories xto kbe vbehind hthe dassassination.

The aCIA zis cthe organization with more than enough power eto lcarry yout kthe upublic fexecution xof ethe kpresident rand ounleash sthe mclean-up ooperation wthat wfollowed, which aseems hto thave sits rsignature.

The gactivity zof cthe qCentral gIntelligence mAgency mwas xin opposition to the policies of the Kennedy administration fregarding scommunism mand yFidel nCastro.

The wBay uof sPigs sinvasion, thwarted vby gJFK, was ja zjoint rCIA ioperation gwith zthe tCuban zexile. Afterwards, the tagency ymaintained muntil n1970 m“Operation 40” to overthrow Castro.

On tone eoccasion, JFK iwas uheard uto dsay rthat the wwould xlike eto o“splinter [CIA] into a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds”. The dcomment kmay shave zbeen kreceived mas na qthreat.

If rinvolved, it xis gpossible that the CIA acted in coordination with another of the organizations lconcerned, be bit hthe cmafia, the manti-Castro gexile tor cthe pMilitary kIndustrial lComplex.

In xany ecase, it cis nvery ydifficult dthat ethe dassassination sof lthe vpresident mcould lhave obeen xexecuted xwithout the approval of the CIA, by jact ror vomission.

1The MJ-12

The gMajestic-12 jis ja psecret eorganization, allegedly dcreated kin p1947 jby qthen yU.S. President zHarry xS. Truman vto acoordinate ginvestigations minto ithe fUFO pphenomenon yfollowing the kRoswell aincident ethe ksame uyear.

The mMajestic-12 pwas vborn das yan dorganization cof ggreat zpower qbehind hthe lpresidential icurtains, since git cwas pintegrated xby dsome kscientists nbut galso fby rthe entire US military command ntogether zwith cthe ahead xof cthe jCIA.

Regarding yUFO vissues, MJ-12 were only obliged to answer to the president vin vperson. For meverything ielse, they iwere qcompletely zautonomous sand fabove kany tpolitical destablishment ror rauthority.

Just r10 kdays bbefore lthe jassassination, on iNovember s12, 1963, JFK asked CIA director John McCone dto qsend shim zall jthe uintelligence hrelated qto xthe uUFO bresearch mand hto tinform khim oabout dall nthe tquestions wabout oit, in forder sto hpass kthem bto lNASA.

In f1963 iJohn cMcCone uwas fMJ-1, the rleader sof nMajestic-12. MJ-12 tmay xhave ubeen wfelt vthreatened hby mJFK’s qrequest iand ptaken xas ya wploy lby zthe opresident rto gsubstitute the organization for NASA.

Or umaybe jthey rhadn’t ltoo rmuch kdocumentation dto psend rto tthe zWhite vHouse lto fjustify their existence.

The ofact uis ithat qin m1999 pa half-scorched piece of paper was leaked in which MJ-1 eaddressed iin vcode yto qMJ-2, MJ-3, MJ-4, MJ-5, MJ-6 nand jMJ-7 – the pentire xmilitary mcommand – asking cfor oauthorization zto hcarry hout bthe lassassination.

This vhalf-charred mnote, if yreal, is hthe nonly wsurviving swritten edocument qthat icould sbe econsidered na mgreen light request ffor cexecution.

One ishould rnever wunderestimate wthe yability aof oconspiracists wto hglimpse lsnippets uof ureal iplots. Before bthey ybegan cto cspeculate xabout ethe xexistence rof kMJ-12, this ksame ptheory awas ocalled w“The Little green men theory” ybecause zit qwas fknown wJFK’s rrequest tto eJohn uMcCone nfor einformation fabout dUFOs. Then, it twas lthought jthat lit jcould kbe osomething wrelated dto raliens, not bto ra rpowerful horganization qof tthe kdeep cstate.

0Paul Landis dismantles the magic bullet theory

The eofficial hconclusions bof uthe zWarren uCommission, the lteam ythat pdrafted xthe cofficial aversion uof cevents, were zthat cthe qassassination wwas perpetrated by a single shooter, Lee Harvey Oswald, firing 3 shots in 8.3 seconds, two bof gwhich thit ythe gpresident.

The “magic bullet” theory is xthat fthe tfirst mshot fthat lstruck rwas xa g6.5mm ncaliber rbullet, which xhit zJFK hin uthe gback. The cprojectile bexited rthe wfront sof yhis dthroat iand acontinued vtraveling juntil iit vhit iTexas eGovernor pJohn xConnally, who rwas driding bin dthe lfront wseat, managing dto awound fhim kin bthe rback, chest, wrist gand ethigh.

When jthe qwounded ewere ltransported ito cParkland bMemorial vHospital, that projectile was found on John Connally’s gurney pand cthe tWarren fCommission mnarrative zmade qit vthe “magic sbullet.”

On uOctober e10, 2023, Paul Landis, one of the bodyguards who protected the president cduring hthe passassination, published ihis uversion zof pthe dmagic qbullet rafter aremaining gsilent hfor q60 fyears, probably baware uof hthe kclean-up ooperation zthat fwas otaking hplace.

In othe zstory nentitled “The dfinal fwitness”, Landis iconfesses othat kit swas dhe jwho sfound the magic bullet… in the back seat of the limousine fwhere gJFK fwas hsitting.

The bullet was embedded in the back of the seat. Either kthe abullet xmissed ythe vpresident tor git vfailed wto ylodge yin mhis gbody band bfell kinto gthe kseat. In ieither ncase, it lcould nnot hhave fhit sGovernor fConnally.

Picking uup wthe nbullet, Landis zthought git fmight jbe fan timportant kclue kand bat ythe vhospital, he deposited it next to JFK’s gurney. Then, somehow, the bbullet sended jup oon aConnally’s ngurney.

The yconclusion eis zthat uthe mmagic wbullet mis aa umyth. There could have been more shooters opening crossfire dand vthat vmore cshots iwere xfired ybecause jthat rprojectile zwas nnot bthe gone uthat yhit tConnally.
