Relationship Between Kennedy And The Cia's Assassination

On the dark, tragic, day of November 22nd, 1963, the 35th President of the United States, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, was murdered in Dallas, Texas. Seven days later, the newly sworn in President, Lyndon B. Johnson, created The Warren Commission, to give the public the truthful knowledge concerning the events relating to the assassination. According to the Warren Commission, Lee Harvey Oswald solely killed Kennedy, and wounded Texas Governor John Connally. It also came to the conclusion that Jack Ruby, also acted solely when he killed Oswald two days later. Since the announcement from the Warren Commission, many suspicions and questions have arisen concerning the Commission 's conclusions. The outcome of the commission has led to the country debating over what really did happen that day. Along with debate over the
government having hidden vital and critical information, which lead to many different conspiracy theories. Since the outcome has been made, multiple investigations, testimonies, documents and books have been created to give evidence and prove conspiracy theories to be true. Among many of the theories believed to have occurred, The Central Intelligence Agency is frequently noted as a suspect in the assassination leading to the theory of a coup d’état. Conspirators have accused and stated to hear confessions and evidence leading to the CIA’s involvement in the assassination. For starters, the CIA had numerous problems with Kennedy, which could have triggered the assassination of the president. Prior to Kennedy’s presidency, the CIA did what they wanted, when they wanted without any restraint. For example, the CIA had arranged overthrows against foreign leaders of areas like Iran and Guatemala but the

President did not find this acceptable due to his preference to pursue a diplomatic approach. The CIA had various high profile battles with Kennedy. Some conflicts involved differences over the CIA 's assassination agenda and plans. One particular case was that the CIA gave $42,000 dollars to the strategists, and planners, of the assassination of President Diem, of Vietnam. Robert S. McNamara, the Secretary of Defense under Kennedy, and White House historian, Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr., both stated that Kennedy “went pale when he heard the news about the coup, and was shocked that Diem had been murdered.” Another event that added more strains to the relationship between Kennedy and the CIA is known as the Bay of Pigs Invasion.
The Bay of Pigs invasion was an unsuccessful military attack of Cuba fueled by the CIA-sponsored paramilitary group, Brigade 2506 on April 17th, 1961. The strategy was planned to takeover and overthrow Fidel Castro the leader of Cuba who was promoting communism. The invasion utterly failed and led to many problematic ties between The United States and Cuba as well as Cuba’s supporter the Soviet Union. Kennedy was quoted saying to an official within his administration: "I want to splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds." One problem Kennedy had after the invasion was that he appeared pathetic and inexperienced. The CIA became aggravated with Kennedy’s lack of support for the invasion and blamed it as a major reason as to why the invasion failed. Kennedy’s frustration with the CIA left numerous people in the organization losing their jobs. For example, Allen Dulles who was the head of the CIA was forced to take blame of the mission, which led to his termination in 1961, and then replaced by John McCone.
The termination of Dulles most likely played a huge role in the assassination of Kennedy due to the fact that the CIA did not find it fair that Kennedy was terminating CIA officials because of his personal conflicts with them. Many events that occurred on the day of the killing seemed a little to perfectly coordinated in order to distract the public from seeing the planning of the assassination. For example, in the Texas School Book Depository, which was where employee Lee Harvey Oswald supposedly shot Kennedy from the sixth floor of the building, workmen were refurbishing the floors in the Depository that week. This allowed unknown people constantly in and out of the building all morning leading to possible other suspects and shooters freely walking around the building that could have easily escaped out of the numerous rear exits that are normally left unlocked and unguarded. According to witness, Bonnie Way Williams who was working at the depository was eating his lunch alone on the sixth floor of the building at 12:20 PM and saw no one there. After Williams leaves, a witness, Arnold Rowland, from outside said he spotted two men in the windows of the sixth floor. Additionally, prisoners on the 6th story of the prison across the street saw two men as well and thought they were possibly security guards. At 12:15 PM a man in the street had collapsed and began to have a seizure leading to people and police officers rushing to save the possible death but as soon as the seizure ended the man disappeared and no hospital records were found of anyone coming in after a seizure which is very strange due to the sovereignty of the illness. It is ironic that this occurred so close to the time that Kennedy was killed and could have been a perfect distraction to pull the police away from the crime scene and allowed the shooters to get into their places. Oswald’s conviction of the killing of JFK does not make sense due to the evidence and timing proving his innocence. For example, at 12:15 PM secretary Carolyn Arnold stated she saw Oswald eating his lunch alone in the snack room on the second floor. According to Oswald’s interview with the Dallas Police he was in the snack room the whole time, which accurately matches up to the timings according to the witnesses. Ninety seconds after Kennedy was shot, a Patrolman and a colleague to Oswald see him in the second floor snack room acting completely calm. This matches prior information about Oswald’s whereabouts, which confirms his alibi. If the Warren Report conclusions are true and take into a count the evidence from these witnesses that would mean that apparently after Oswald fired three bolt action shots in 5.6 seconds, he then managed to do all these tasks in ninety seconds: Oswald would have to leave 3 cartridges side by side in the firing nest, wipe the rifle clear of finger prints, hides the rifle on the other side of the room. He then would have to sprint down 5 flights of stairs passing witness Victoria Adams who state that she did not see Oswald at this time. And after all of that he would arrive completely calm, matching the patrolman’s description back on the second floor. It seems highly unlikely for Oswald to be able to manage all those tasks in that short period of time but then to also not be out of breath or winded seems even more impossible. The public never received any evidence about the examination of the death of the president. The public was denied access to the autopsy photos or x-rays, as well as the autopsy notes because they were destroyed. The public was finally given a court order to examine the brain, which would prove which side the bullet came through Kennedy’s skull. When the public asked to receive the information the government announced that the brain had disappeared. If the government was positive on the Lone Gunman theory claiming that just Oswald shot Kennedy from one side, why would they need to hide the brain? This leads to the public thinking maybe the stories from at least two-dozen witnesses of the gunfire from the grassy knoll on the street across from the depository to be true. Another strange factor of the handling of Kennedys body is, none of the doctors from Parkland Hospital, were Kennedy was taken after the shooting preformed the autopsy. Instead, the body was illegally moved from Texas to Washington D.C. to be examined by military pathologists instead. When the pathologist were performing the autopsy, he examined the head but did not dissect into the neck, which was part of the bullet track due to the fact that the “family only wanted an examination of the head”. This is illegal because when an autopsy is performed it is necessary to examine all possible death outcomes. Newly sworn in President Johnson ordered for the cleaning and repair of the car where the former President was shot. He then sent John Connally’s suit to get cleaned. This is very strange because these objects could have been used as proper evidence. In conclusion, the abundance of evidence that supports a coup d’état proves that Oswald is innocent. The Warren Commission and the government of the United States did not give the country all of the truth which causes an extreme amount of questioning by the people like what does the government have to hide? And why are they hiding it? According to the research from the movie JFK, articles like If Oswald Didn’t Kill JFK, Then Who Did? And the website The Kennedy Assassination all help support the coup d’état theory
