I'd say the mafia, because of the Cuban Missle crisis, but I don't know. I firmly believe the government killed MLK Jr. though.

I remember the day quite well. :(

I was a senior at U.S.C. I heard the news in the Sudent Union, just before I had to go to a class. Someone asked the prof if he was going to cancel class, that day. He replied that we would want to cancel class if a dog was run over out on the boulevard. I stood up and walked out of the room, and I never went back to that class.

I don't know who did kill JFK, but I don't believe it was Oswald working alone.

despite what anyone says, Kennedy was a piece of sh*t. A lousy ineffective president who's vast failures greatly outweigh his one accomplishment. The nation is better off today that he was assasinated than it would be if he'd stayed in office till 68

AaronP -- Anyone who thinks that assasinating any President of this country, even someone as vile as Richard Sh8house Nixon, is even remotely acceptable is a true MORON! :|

Please move to some country where such behavior is a regular practice, and please get yourself elected President, there, preferably on another planet, DIPWAD! :|

and I don't care what ANYONE says. That fatal blow did NOT come from the book depository. It came from somewhere in front of him. THE VIDEO CLEARLY SHOWS THAT. It is Undisputable. End of story.

Grrr, I agree with Harvey! NO one deserves to die and saying the president of this country did is a HUGE mistake! Besides the fact that Kennedy was planning on de-escalting vietnam because the reform work wasn't happening. If Kennedy had lived the vietnam war might have never happened.

Step back and think of how stupid a post you just made.

What are you thinking,that it is appropriate to kill to get your way?

Isn't that just a tad dangerous? If you accept that method,would those who disagree with you be justified in the same method of expressing thier viewpoint?

You may not like the results.

have u guys ever read this?1953. CIA operative George Herbert Walker Bush founds Zapata Petroleum in
Texas. Its subsidiary, Zapata Offshore is used as a CIA front. Initiating
his career-long foray into Latin American shadow politics, Bush establishes
ties with CIA operative and narco-trafficker Manuel Noriega of Panama (later
its dictator).

1960-1961. Bay of Pigs. Bush and fellow CIA operative Felix Rodriguez
organize and train Cuban exiles in Florida and across the Gulf region for an
invasion of Cuba, and the assassination of Fidel Castro, with assistance
from elements of the Mafia (based in Florida).

*President John F. Kennedy pulls the plug on the operation, infuriating the
Cubans, the CIA, the mob, and Bush.

1963. JFK is assassinated in Dallas. The involvement of Cubans, CIA
operatives in Florida (Felix Rodriguez), and the questionable activities of
Bush, Richard Nixon, Texas oil moguls and Texas politicians during the
period, are detailed by numerous assassination researchers. J. Edgar Hoover
interviews a &quot;George Bush of the CIA&quot; regarding &quot;anti-Castro exile reaction&quot;
to the murder.

1968-1973. With Richard Nixon in the White House, Antonin Scalia in charge
of the White House communications office, and George H.W. Bush heading the
Republican National Committee, the Republicans maintain close ties to
right-wing Florida Cubans.

*Bebe Rebozo, a prominent Florida Cuban with intelligence ties, is a close
friend of Nixon. In 1971, journalist Ken Collier calls on Nixon to
investigate 1970 Florida election fraud by Republicans. Scalia persuades
Nixon to remain silent, Collier alleges.

1973. The Watergate Break-In is conducted by anti-Castro Cubans and CIA
agents tied to the Bay of Pigs: Rodriguez, Bernard Barker (former Cuban
secret police), Frank Sturgis, E. Howard Hunt, and Eugenio Rolando Martinez.
Nixon tapes reveal that the objective is to hide evidence regarding &quot;Dallas&quot;
and &quot;the Bay of Pigs thing.&quot; Bush assists Nixon in the coverup, and the
stonewalling of the Congress.

*Remember the tape of Nixon ranting about &quot;firing everyone... except Bush&quot;?
Nixon said (it's on tape) &quot;He'll do anything for The Cause.&quot;

1976. CIA Director George H.W. Bush stonewalls Congress regarding the aerial
bombing of a Cubana Airline jet and a car bomb slaying of a Chilean
diplomat.

*Anti-Castro Cubans are arrested, including Luis Carriles. Carriles'
immediate superior is Felix Rodriguez (who boasts to have assassinated Che
Guevara).

*During the Bush CIA years, the loyal Rodriguez is involved with the Phoenix
program, Air America, and heroin smuggling in Southeast Asia.

1982-1986. Iran-Contra. With Vice President Bush &quot;in the loop&quot; with CIA
Director William Casey and other members of the Reagan &quot;firewall,&quot; Felix
Rodriguez coordinates the contra resupply program in El Salvador under
Oliver North.

*In Senate testimony, Rodriguez alleges to have passed ten million dollars
to the contras from the Colombian Medellin cocaine cartel.

*In Florida, Jeb Bush (the head of the Dade County Republican Party)
operates as the Republican administration's unofficial link with Cubans, the
contras and Nicaraguan exiles in Miami.

*During this period, Jeb aligns with Leonel Martinez, a Miami-based
right-wing Cuban-American drug trafficker associated with contra dissident
Eden Pastora. Jeb forges business ties with contra supporter Miguel Recarey,
a right-wing Cuban, and major contributor to PACs controlled by then-Vice
President Bush.

*Florida-based drug-running fronts funnel US government funds as
humanitarian aid to the contras. Senator John Kerry investigates Miami-based
Ocean Hunter, one of many Florida-based drug-running fronts, and discovers
$200,000 channeled south.

1986. Reagan appoints Antonin Scalia to the Supreme Court. At his
confirmation hearing, Ken and James Collier accuse Scalia of sandbagging
their lawsuits against the Republican National Committee for election fraud
in Florida.

1988-1992. With George H.W. Bush as president, the US invades Panama,
toppling former CIA ally, contra compatriot and narco trafficker Manuel
Noriega. Cuban operatives assist.

*As a link to that powerful and wealthy South Florida community, Jeb remains
a tireless supporter of reactionary Cuban-American political causes, such as
the freeing of right-wing terrorist Orlando Bosch.

*Bosch is responsible for more than 50 anti-Castro bombings in Cuba and
elsewhere in the Western Hemisphere. Jeb is also a supporter of Cuban
American National Federation (CANF) projects like Radio and TV Marti
(propaganda broadcasts into Cuba, in violation of telecommunications laws).

*Jeb Bush is also involved with Florida-based BCCI banks and money
laundering operations. The Miami US Attorney is rebuffed by the
Republican-controlled Justice Department in his efforts to indict BCCI and
some of its principal officers on tax fraud charges.

1994. After benefiting financially and politically from oil, money and CIA
ties to his father and brother, George W. Bush becomes governor of Texas.

1998. Jeb Bush becomes governor of Florida with strong backing from
long-time friends in the Cuban community. Jorge Mas Canosa, president of the
ultra-right wing CANF succinctly describes Jeb's role throughout the 1980s
and 1990s: &quot;He is one of us.&quot;

*The Elian Gonzalez affair ignites Florida, setting off partisan conflict
(and violence). Anti-Castro Cubans are incensed at the Clinton/Gore
administration.

2000. Jeb Bush &quot;promises to deliver Florida&quot; to his brother, presidential
candidate George W. Bush.

*Florida is delivered, and the election sealed with help from Supreme Court
Justice Antonin Scalia.

I see someone has a vivid imagination about George Bush, I find it to funny that anybody would think he had something to do with the assination of JFK.


Truthfully I think that elvis shot JFK from the grassy knoll while eating a peanut and banana sandwhich.

I don't want to think about it :p, I had a government teacher in high school who spent an entire semester showing kenedy conspiracy theory videos and then givingn us dirt easy scantrons on what we were actually SUPPOSED to learn, everyone in the class got an A, and we all decided he was crazy ;). If I remember correctly, he was a vet, around 60 years old, and tought tai kwon doe, a real nut case, as a result, the name &quot;Kennedy&quot; scares the bejezus (sic) out of me...

Well they reckon the 'Le Corse Unione' (the Corsican Mafia) was paid by the Mafia to do it. Because they were peaved with the Kennedys'. As they had helped Joe Kennedy get Jack Elected, so they were pissed by Bobby's anti-mob grand jury &amp; were also peeved by Jack giving up his support of the Bay of Pigs, which meant that the mob weren't getting their Cuban Casinos back. The CIA were also pissed off with Kenney over Cuba too, so they were partners with the mafia, so to speak, &amp; nodded &amp; winked their approval &amp; helped things along.

Well so goes the theory of some doco I saw made by I think the UK's Channel 4 &amp; PBS.

Really, I spose we will never know what happened.

I didn't say that I condoned his killing. All I said is that we're better off now than we would be if he wasn't killed. There is a difference.

I heard somewhere that the driver turned around and shot Kennedy.

But I don't believe that.

I think he committed suicide.
