I think it may have had something to do with the Dimona nuclear research center in Israel, which went online sometime between 1962-64.
Kennedy and the United States knew full well about this place despite the Israeli's best efforts to keep it a secret and they wanted the IAEA in there to inspect it, which the Israelis were not happy about, fixing to build bombs covertly as they were. You could put two and two together from there.
He was going to make the decision to escalate troop deployment. Vietnam was not the reason.
Do you have a link to support that? I didn`t say that Vietnam was the sole cause of his assassination. He wanted to dial back the Cold War and that`s not what the MIC wanted to hear.
Communism is the natural state of human social beings.
Read Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution. If immigration introduces Americans to more point of views, then it could help it create a freer society separate from private capitalism.
Also, I’m not an immigrant.
barbarism is the natural state of human beings...……...look to history.
Just curious: how many people who've posted in this thread actually remember the Kennedy assassination? If you were living then and remember that terrible time, how old were you when Kennedy was murdered?
I was a senior in high school and almost seventeen. I found out at school, within about half an hour of the assassination - around 2:30 p.m. EST, after heading into my last class around 2:00 and being told Kennedy had been shot. We had both a radio and television in that classroom, and turned both on, so as soon as the official announcement of Kennedy's death was made, we heard it. Our principal came on the PA shortly afterwards, probably about ten or fifteen minutes before school was dismissed at 3:00, and announced to everyone in the high school what had happened, his voice shaking.
I walked home from school, found the television on and my mother in tears and dreading having to tell me - of course I told her I already knew what had happened.
My family and I were glued to the television all the following weekend (Kennedy was shot on a Friday), saw Oswald shot by Jack Ruby on Sunday morning, and watched the funeral procession from the Capitol where Kennedy had lain in state on Sunday, then the funeral and burial on Monday. I can still hear the beat of the funeral drums in my inner ear...
I was in my 8th grade history class. announced over the PA...…….you could hear a pin drop except for our teacher weeping uncontrollably...……...
L.H. Oswald got lucky.
He acted alone, and just got lucky.
The case is closed.
Yeah, I guess thats why the FBI and CIA legally fought to keep certain documents classified?!!
Trying to keep details classified, means they do not want the public to see these details...if the case was so cut and dry, there would be nothing to keep secret like this.
The fact that these agencies attempted to keep it classified is probably the most damning aspect, it tells the people they do not want them to see this and they will do everything in their power to prevent it.
So why was he murdered? Simple, because he was a threat to world peace with his arrogance and youth. People forget the Cuban missile crisis almost started a nuclear war. They also forget that he was emboldened by it.
People say it worked so it was fine, but they forget it is the expectations of our action that matter, not the results.
If someone bursts into a room with an assault rifle shooting wildly hoping to kill people and no one is there, that action is still worse than someone tripping on a wire that causes a generator to explode killing 12 people.
Just because the result of the latter was worse doesn't mean the perpetrator of the former wasn't worse. Similarly, besides all the main stream US war crimes, Kennedy thought he could win the cold war and was willing to risk human existence in the process.
Now the elites of both the USSR and the US understood that that should never happen. When Stalin was pushing to win the cold war right out of the gates risking nuclear war, he was taken care of. Similarly with Kennedy, a kid willing to risk human existence to show he was a strong leader, our respective state elite dealt with him.
I don't know who they were exactly, but they save us from destruction just as the Soviet officials had done with Stalin, and they deserve a reward for doing as such.
I never thought i would agree with the most full of **** leftist on the board.
However as I undetstand it the main perp was Johnson and it was personal.
JFK fans need to read the dark side of camelot by sy hersch.
Oh and how about that signals intelligence soldier in germany who went awol in early november 1963 to tell the UN press corps he heard of a govt plot to kill the president in texas in a few weeks....
But yeah glad youre dead jack. Dangerous immature man.
