Theres so many weird things about it and i dont think ive ever heard a solid explanation for everything.
Never happened
I never found any explanation convincing until Matt Christman suggested that the CIA tried to stage an assassination attempt and accidentally killed the president during it. That story just…it feels more like the world I know than any other scenario.
What about the bumbling secret service agent accidentally shooting him in response to Oswald’s first shot?
I just like imagining the transformation from “we’re gonna put the fear of communism into that bleeding heart pinko” to “oh fuck we just killed the president, OH GOD OH FUCK WE JUST KILLED THE PRESIDENT”
don’t think we can definitively rule out suicide
what if jfks head just did that though
I reckon (and it’s the same thing I believe about 9/11), it’s a mixture of incompetence/complacency on behalf of US intelligence.
Think about how many concurrent tips/investigations into threats against the president the feds must deal with at any one time. I think, like 9/11, they probably had knowledge of a potential plot and failed to stop it, without being “involved”.
I’m sure theres a good chance the CIA/feds had their hands in it financially somewhere, in the sense that they’re always paying/arming groups all around the world - again, similar to 9/11 imo.
But did a bunch of agents sit down in a smoky room and decide to waste Kennedy? I doubt it. Maybe it was some kind of CIA asset they lost control of - “hey if we create a credible threat against the president maybe he will give us more license to attack Cuba” or whatever.
