Don't tell me who killed JFK... |
|
But in your own words, and without any links to a website somewhere, just briefly state why you believe he was killed.
Don't tell me who... Just tell me why.
(and if you believe Oswald was a lone paranoid conspiracy nutter who wanted to be important, go find some knitting to do)

1. The powerful saw a different kind of powerful and stopped it |
|
Who saw it?
I'd have to say that the top brass in the military, coupled with those who had climbed inside burgeoning organizations such as the league of nations, the fast growing cia and the power brokers who had every reason to cash in on wars in perpetuity What did they do?
With knowledge that comes from years of covert nation building and rebuilding Japan, wars on foreign soil like what was happening in Viet Nam were of interest. Kennedy, once fooled by the cia, was not fooled again, and they knew he wouldn't be fooled again.
When?
I'm sure there was more than one plan to stop that presidency and kill him, but it just got moved to Dallas eventually
Why?
So that we can become as we finally are now a fully operational, debt causing machine that makes people with less and less power pay people with more and more power with blood, sweat and tears.

8. Fitzgeralds, Joe Kennedy... yes... |
|
On the other hand, because of this family of brothers who were led into the world of their father were unlike Joe Sr, at least TWO took another path ... and paid for it with their lives.
When it comes to destroying endless war profiteering, there is no power greater than the structure that assures endless wars.

12. What "different path" did JFK and RFK take? |
|
They sought and obtained political offices consistent with their father's objective.
And, I gather that you do not believe Ted was on this same "different path", correct?

11. That's a "who" not a "why" |
|
In what way was he a threat, and how was his wealthy and politically connected family, which remained so, not part of the "powers that be".

the purported correspondence between author Gregory Douglass and former top-level CIA "The Crow" Robert T. Crowley whereby Crowley reveals the CIA's means, motive and opportunity. In a nutshell, Crowley states that he and the entire CIA leadership were shocked to discover that, after the Cuba Missile Incident, that AG Robert Kennedy kept open lines of communication to the Kremlin. The CIA reportedly traced this through planted disinfo (they had a mole in the Kremlin). What you perceive in hearing this is that the CIA felt threatened to its very existence with this sort of behavior but Crowley states the CIA's reason very succinctly: treason on the part of the president.
