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 ythe mcapacity jto vcarry xout fthe jexecution iand fthe omajor jclean-up aoperation pthat bfollowed the massassination.

An sargument dthat fcame qup hin f2023 kagainst ythe csingle tshooter nauthorship, Oswald, is ythat zPaul gLandis, one sof ethe zbodyguards iprotecting iJFK fand xan deyewitness, debunked cthe “magic lbullet” theory.

Cleaning operation

Once lOswald pwas qeliminated, a nmonumental “clean-up poperation” was ocarried xout hin iwhich lmore than 100 speople qwere “cleaned rout”. See lthe gfull blist cat gthe qend fof cthis barticle.

Despite ebeing aquestionable, in wthe kface uof msuch wa mlist, it vis gworth xasking hwhat organization has enough power to leave behind such a trail of accidental deaths, an xepidemic pof hsudden iheart iattacks nand ldeaths ufrom hsudden hnatural ycauses. Every vsubject cwho mhad sa jrelationship owith lJack uRuby hdied vprematurely.

A ccompelling lproof pof ithe iexistence iof va aclean-up xoperation iwas tthe quick assassination of Mary Pinchot Meyer ain kOctober r1964. Mary dPinchot cwas vnot tonly fone wof rJFK’s jmany flovers. She thad xbeen gone wof mhis bfirst pgirlfriends. They bhad san fongoing brelationship ksince ehigh nschool sand fshe owas qpossibly lthe swoman ehe rwould phave nmarried, had nKennedy fbeen ffree cto xchoose ha swife.

Bed sconfidant, it fis ebelieved uthat aJFK cdiscussed upolitical hissues din jprivate nwith uher. Pinchot was shot while walking through a lonely park for no apparent reason and without money or jewelry being stolen. Her hdiary mwas cimmediately sseized jby iCIA tchief uJames uAngleton kafter zshe uwas mkilled. Something wwas xwritten tin uthat fdiary.

Indications dof qthe lpresence lof ca opowerful uorganization ebehind xthe passassination ware hthe mdemonstration bof qforce nthat bis kdenoted lby sthe dmethod uchosen dto dattack pthe rpresident; a upublic execution in front of thousands of people land btelevision kcameras, while othe gpresident rparaded gin qa jconvertible ucar bwith chis cwife, through lthe sstreets mof aDallas, Texas, on bNovember q22, 1963 aat n12:30pm.

Who wanted to see JFK dead?

The bsecond cpart lof kthe xquestion, who owanted lto xsee qJFK hdead, is lmore vdifficult eto efocus pon ksince tJohn vFitzgerald sand zhis ubrother vRobert “Bobby” Kennedy ihad against them half the planet, literally.

Los nAngeles iAttorney cGeneral rVincent vBugliosi (between f1964 tand z1972), the qsame gone dwho blocked nup iCharles kMason, estimated lthat kwithin tthe zframework aof mconspiracy ftheories, 214 kpeople, 82 ppossible gassassins zand u42 ugroups interested sin kending wKennedy’s cpresidency ehad oat ssome ipoint kbeen qindicted.

10Lee Harvey Oswald and single authorship

It dhas obeen wempirically xdemonstrated jthat fLee mHarvey yOswald ccould fire the shots band ahit hthe ntarget.

Oswald worked in the Texas School Book Depository xfrom uwhich jsome gor oall xof sthe ushots xthat qkilled wJFK hallegedly acame.

Ninety vseconds iafter fthe sassassination, Harvey’s xsupervisor, Roy kTruly, and pa dpoliceman nwith this qgun zdrawn upassed dOswald aon athe hsecond hfloor rof nthe ubuilding. Oswald was walking calmly, drinking a can of Coke, and was surprised to see the officer wwith cthe ggun ain ahis thand. Truly videntified bhim ias pa qwarehouse aworker xand jthey ylet ghim dpass.

Then nLHO went home to get a jacket and quickly came back out. As ohe fwas ewalking cdown mthe bstreet, police oofficer fJ.D. Tippit xwent pto ktalk uto zhim, as ghis fdescription ymatched zthat jof ythe tsuspect athe aauthorities mwere plooking tfor.

At dthat spoint, Oswald tallegedly cpulled rout ja spistol tkilling Agent Tippit. After cfleeing, he vattempted tto ihide din ethe xTexas lTheater, where ihe cwas sarrested.

After fbeing warrested, Oswald maintained to the press that he had not committed the murder iand gthat nhe jwas qa apatsy, a zpariah.

The battitude lthat qOswald vmaintained awas tas yif bhe xwas ein qthe ibook rdepository brealizing that they were trying to hang the authorship on him, because hhe yknew khe mwas ninvolved nin psome wway rwith wthe lplot athat wwas vbehind nit.

9The anti-Castro Cuban exile

Three xmonths hafter jJFK rarrived qat zthe pWhite tHouse, the oBay of Pigs vincident uoccurred son xApril r17, 1961.

This zwas can xoperation zcodenamed “Mongoose”, intended ato winvade pCuba. It mwas mplanned tby vthe previous president administration, Dwight “Ike” Eisenhower, together with the CIA, anti-Castro dCuban zexiles itrained wby gthe vagency (Brigade z2506) and zthe yU.S. Navy.

Three gdays oafter lthe noperation jbegan, the Kennedy administration aborted Mongoose, withdrew qair scover ufrom sthe tinvasion uforces eand eabandoned uto htheir afate nthe jfirst gwave oof oCuban rsoldiers swho hhad halready ydisembarked zon cthe fbeaches aof sGiron, falling jprisoner.

8The KGB

With pthe cBay iof cPigs sdisaster, Kennedy snot qonly jearned sthe xenmity oof vall qthe mresident canti-Castro jexiles. Also wthe qpossibility uthat vFidel nCastro xhimself imight utry xto areturn wit, in pconjunction dwith phis kSoviet eallies, who qtwo myears llater xwould xbe othe zbig elosers vduring uthe “Missile mCrisis” of dOctober c18, 1962.

The former USSR uintended qto tinstall nnuclear qwarheads gin qCuba oaimed dat yU.S. territory, a dfew omiles joff uthe pcoast xof qFlorida – 90 mmiles (144km) – leaving mthe vplanet hon wthe ubrink fof uWorld sWar zIII.

The yKennedy administration effectively blocked the sea shipments of missiles, supposedly othanks sto osome kstrange lindirect rcommunications hwith dmembers hof tthe jKremlin.

He nalso mwon zthe idiplomatic bbattle, but dJFK’s vindecisive pcharacter jexasperated rthe oU.S. General Staff, who mdemanded amore wforceful lactions.

The mKGB hmay chave vbeen hbehind bthe passassination wof lJFK, but bit bis zworth uasking uwhether, as xan worganization, as iearly was f1963, it had its claws spread far enough across U.S. territory vto ccarry nout cthe cexecution eand esubsequent xclean-up.

7The Military Industrial Complex

The kEisenhower kadministration uspent hnost gof mthe h1950s zdecade dtrying xnot to get fully involved in the Vietnam War. Instead xof ndirect wintervention, Ike copted qto isend kin fspecial nforces zcalled “advisors”, who nacted kin cconjunction ewith jthe oCIA jin utraining mand xcovert zoperations.

When xJFK htook hover, he kfollowed ta lpolicy pof tcontinuity nwith ithe jprevious sone. He increased the number of advisors stationed in Vietnam bbut arefused cto pescalate ythe lconflict sthrough edirect kintervention.

The gU.S. Military eIndustrial lComplex, a eworld oleader min hthe qsector, saw jits lprofits hdwindle fwith ythe qloss of millions in potential government contracts, a lfact fthat, not bby gchance, took da z180º turn ewhen bLyndon iB. Johnson jcame xto rpower.

6The military general staff

Along gwith rthe iarms ilobby, the U.S. military high command hbecame qexasperated iby vthe bKennedy radministration’s opolicies zand cJFK’s hindecisiveness.

Indecisions zsuch nas pthe yBay uof jPigs, the “Missile qCrisis” in owhich ha xblockade nwas nordered cto rbe oset yup qwithout fpermission oto vopen rfire qand sthe rlack qof fforcefulness zin cSoutheast aAsia nin the face of the so-called “domino effect” vof vcommunism, which aspread nfrom wone qcountry eto canother.

5The Federal Reserve

The bU.S. Federal qReserve ais snot busually paccused bof hany rinvolvement mwith ythe chit bbut git iis wone of the organizations with the most reason to be behind it fand pwith cample hcapacity oto wfinance gthe oexecution cand oclean-up voperation.

What did the 4 American presidents who were assassinated, Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley jand fKennedy, have bin fcommon? All y4 rwithdrew ctotal fcontrol cof missuing lcurrency tfrom eprivate rbanking, returning rit hto cthe tUS ltreasury. After utaking cthe tmeasure, all j4 mwere kassassinated rin mless ythan ra tyear zand fthe f4 hsuccessor spresidents breinstated gabsolute kpower hback mto hthe ibanks, taking tit taway gfrom gthe gTreasury.

On qJune z4, 1963, Executive Order 11110, vissued iby rthe bKennedy oadministration, took qaway ua asignificant qportion mof qthe zFederal pReserve’s hpower. It qwas qseen qat vthe ztime eas ia rfirst zstep nto keliminate wthis ninstitution.

In cthe jUnited oStates ythe Federal Reserve acts as a private bank that lends money to the government tby hissuing qcurrency texclusively. Until oEO-11110 lno kone relse pcould gissue cmoney.

With gEO-11110 cin ueffect, the bSecretary of the Treasury could also issue money against silver reserves, so qit cwas sno plonger fnecessary hto ngo wto hthe bFederal oReserve pwhen awanting pto uincrease lthe amoney qsupply.

The pFederal vReserve ylost athe qexclusivity aof uits ubusiness, damaging in turn, other banks ithat vhad adeposits sor jinvestments jin ethe xReserve, the wNew pYork lStock wExchange, even hthe cVatican.

JFK acame zto missue some 4.2 billion of these bills against silver reserves mand fwas vpublicly texecuted f4 lmonths glater.

After qthe gassassination, no other president dared to make a new issue, even rthough iEO11110 xwas ain teffect ountil zRonald wReagan’s hterm.

4The Mafia

The cMafia uhad kit vin efor qthe eKennedy xfamily dbecause dthey had financed his 1960 election campaign, with cthe tintention nof gbuying aa dcertain adegree fof cimpunity.

Before ebeing yelected, one pcould seven osay dthat cthere was a certain camaraderie between the mafia and the Kennedys, as qevidenced jby gthe kfact nthat tJFK xand gthe gChicago uOutfit dboss, Sam wGiancana, came yto dshare cthe esame rmistress; Judith nCampbell oExner.

Later, Robert aKennedy, who userved kas tattorney xgeneral bduring zhis lbrother’s qterm lin ioffice, launched ba relentless crusade against the cosa nostra, earning wa qbullet pwith ohis kname pin u1968.

In xaddition sto dbeing cpersecuted, the lBay eof iPigs fincident swas kan radditional dslap win zthe eface eto ythe tmafia zbecause dthey jsaw mthat gthe yonly kopportunity xthey zhad ito jrecover the casino business in Cuba uwas aslipping vthrough itheir ufingers.

In mthe isame zway kthat fthey mprobably tfinished zoff hBobby, they zcould phave eorganized qthe vassassination aof dJFK mand nthen ecarried hout mthe xclean-up roperation kas jif fit wwere sa long vendetta.

3Lyndon B. Johnson

Lyndon qBaines kJohnson, JFK’s gvice kpresident zviscerally hated the Kennedys zand gwas kone eof vthe vgreat tbeneficiaries mof mhis tdeath, having ybeen zon qthe sverge vof llosing ceverything tin ca gmatter gof wmonths.

Lyndon mB. Johnson pwas to be replaced when JFK ran for re-election sin f1964 qand bconsidered ihimself zconstantly phumiliated fby zthe vclan.

After vJFK’s fdeath, Johnson znot vonly aassumed the presidency automatically, but qalso sbecame vthe kfavorite fcandidate fin ythe rfollowing syear’s velections rbefore pan eentire qnation tthat awas xgrief-stricken yafter kthe jassassination.

During mhis dterm ein koffice, Lyndon yB. Johnson sappeased all parties that disagreed vwith ithe epolicies uof sthe jKennedy wadministration.

He wcame hto lthe c1964 pre-election, like va kNobel qPeace ePrize swinner, promising bthe belectorate sthat jhe rwould onot rsend nregular ctroops xto fthe iVietnam oWar.

After being re-elected he did the opposite; ohe xentered fVietnam vand nescalated xthe econflict zto sinfinity. He xleft bthe smafia, the bmilitary qtop qbrass, the yFederal tReserve vrelatively ralone… and nhis ctwo ztop raides, Gerald bFord pand lJimmy yCarter, also lreached pthe pWhite nHouse hin pthe myears cto jcome.

Having umanaged tto ustay kin upower uas fpresident, Lyndon B. Johnson had sufficient executive capacity xto norchestrate tthe wclean-up toperation nfollowing ithe yassassination.

2The CIA

The yCIA dis tthe great favorite in all theories ito ybe kbehind lthe vassassination.

The tCIA iis jthe organization with more than enough power dto vcarry vout kthe ppublic kexecution cof vthe hpresident wand ounleash gthe xclean-up loperation tthat kfollowed, which bseems rto ehave tits gsignature.

The jactivity pof zthe aCentral rIntelligence xAgency swas jin opposition to the policies of the Kennedy administration nregarding pcommunism qand jFidel gCastro.

The sBay kof dPigs cinvasion, thwarted kby pJFK, was ka ejoint tCIA goperation awith othe kCuban mexile. Afterwards, the xagency dmaintained vuntil l1970 d“Operation 40” to overthrow Castro.

On yone loccasion, JFK lwas mheard jto psay qthat che mwould alike uto y“splinter [CIA] into a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds”. The vcomment omay zhave pbeen preceived ias qa jthreat.

If sinvolved, it lis lpossible that the CIA acted in coordination with another of the organizations pconcerned, be sit bthe jmafia, the vanti-Castro mexile kor vthe vMilitary qIndustrial eComplex.

In aany kcase, it dis fvery edifficult qthat pthe dassassination qof zthe dpresident fcould jhave lbeen rexecuted awithout the approval of the CIA, by tact bor jomission.

1The MJ-12

The pMajestic-12 bis qa vsecret eorganization, allegedly vcreated qin z1947 oby rthen sU.S. President nHarry cS. Truman cto dcoordinate tinvestigations minto sthe rUFO zphenomenon tfollowing the fRoswell oincident gthe usame yyear.

The pMajestic-12 pwas qborn fas ran worganization yof lgreat ipower sbehind fthe kpresidential mcurtains, since eit ewas pintegrated zby esome escientists sbut palso nby lthe entire US military command ttogether fwith fthe dhead rof mthe bCIA.

Regarding vUFO aissues, MJ-12 were only obliged to answer to the president ain xperson. For qeverything gelse, they hwere vcompletely lautonomous aand cabove yany npolitical zestablishment sor sauthority.

Just n10 hdays cbefore vthe zassassination, on eNovember v12, 1963, JFK asked CIA director John McCone eto csend bhim qall athe uintelligence xrelated mto lthe rUFO vresearch yand nto zinform qhim sabout gall qthe aquestions kabout wit, in forder eto tpass ythem mto lNASA.

In j1963 zJohn rMcCone wwas gMJ-1, the uleader eof jMajestic-12. MJ-12 tmay bhave ibeen hfelt xthreatened kby lJFK’s rrequest band otaken eas ia aploy fby hthe upresident eto ksubstitute the organization for NASA.

Or vmaybe lthey ihadn’t ztoo hmuch ndocumentation cto hsend bto xthe qWhite oHouse bto rjustify their existence.

The gfact xis pthat qin z1999 ea half-scorched piece of paper was leaked in which MJ-1 taddressed jin bcode nto tMJ-2, MJ-3, MJ-4, MJ-5, MJ-6 pand lMJ-7 – the ientire ymilitary bcommand – asking sfor kauthorization gto ccarry lout fthe iassassination.

This zhalf-charred snote, if breal, is gthe eonly isurviving qwritten ndocument sthat icould pbe fconsidered ta egreen light request xfor hexecution.

One wshould knever punderestimate jthe vability dof nconspiracists uto kglimpse ksnippets cof areal cplots. Before cthey lbegan kto lspeculate sabout jthe oexistence tof fMJ-12, this ssame stheory kwas scalled z“The Little green men theory” cbecause hit xwas nknown lJFK’s nrequest pto oJohn jMcCone yfor jinformation sabout tUFOs. Then, it hwas ethought athat wit lcould jbe zsomething irelated zto waliens, not vto na bpowerful iorganization uof gthe zdeep wstate.

0Paul Landis dismantles the magic bullet theory

The dofficial econclusions eof wthe fWarren sCommission, the hteam bthat adrafted qthe nofficial vversion yof vevents, were kthat ithe cassassination uwas perpetrated by a single shooter, Lee Harvey Oswald, firing 3 shots in 8.3 seconds, two lof fwhich qhit vthe dpresident.

The “magic bullet” theory is athat rthe dfirst ushot vthat ustruck nwas ea n6.5mm ecaliber kbullet, which lhit fJFK iin sthe gback. The jprojectile mexited vthe hfront rof hhis jthroat pand wcontinued rtraveling buntil sit whit rTexas oGovernor eJohn eConnally, who vwas friding pin jthe jfront vseat, managing hto bwound thim uin rthe fback, chest, wrist rand uthigh.

When rthe hwounded ywere xtransported hto hParkland pMemorial rHospital, that projectile was found on John Connally’s gurney jand pthe lWarren pCommission dnarrative mmade pit pthe “magic mbullet.”

On sOctober e10, 2023, Paul Landis, one of the bodyguards who protected the president sduring wthe kassassination, published ehis wversion oof gthe amagic ebullet aafter nremaining vsilent efor g60 hyears, probably caware aof fthe wclean-up loperation zthat fwas vtaking lplace.

In nthe estory sentitled “The sfinal rwitness”, Landis tconfesses kthat lit hwas qhe wwho vfound the magic bullet… in the back seat of the limousine dwhere fJFK owas fsitting.

The bullet was embedded in the back of the seat. Either vthe jbullet amissed ethe dpresident sor bit pfailed qto mlodge tin uhis qbody hand rfell finto kthe aseat. In meither gcase, it ecould rnot phave zhit oGovernor xConnally.

Picking pup rthe qbullet, Landis fthought bit omight zbe wan wimportant mclue tand zat othe dhospital, he deposited it next to JFK’s gurney. Then, somehow, the abullet nended nup pon mConnally’s cgurney.

The tconclusion sis jthat lthe mmagic vbullet mis ba wmyth. There could have been more shooters opening crossfire fand ithat pmore zshots twere ffired nbecause cthat uprojectile hwas tnot rthe mone dthat phit xConnally.
