Is it true that Kennedy's assassination was the result of a conspiracy in which CIA & Mafia played major role?

Question

It seems that CIA was pissed-off with him for the Bay of Pigs fiasco while the Mafia thought that the Kennedys had a political debt to pay, esp. when they (Mafia) had helped him won the election by stuffing ballots in the Democratic wards of Cook county Chicago.

As I read in one of the books..it mentioned the Kennedy patrirarch Joe telling his Mafia buddies (he made his money smuggling moonshine across from the border in Canada during the Prohibition era) in 1957 that if they helped Jack won the presidential election, they would have their own guy in the Oval office.

Moreover, with Bobby going after Mafia hammer & tongs, Mafia felt betrayed and so in cahoots with CIA, prominent Mafia members like Carlos Mercello of Louisiana Crime family, Santo Trafficante of Tampa, FL, Sam 'Mooney' Giancana of the Outfit (as Chicago Mafia family was known as) and Jimmy Hoffa of Teamsters decided on getting rid of Jack.

Also, Lee Harvey Oswalds was killed by Jack Ruby, a known Mafia associate!

Answer 1

ShOOnya, judging from most of the answers so far, you're the only one that reads. You should try "The Dark Side of Camelot" by Solomon Hirsch, a Pulitzer Prize winning author. He can't tell you exactly why JFK was killed either, but he'll tell you why JFK couldn't fall forward when he was hit by Lee Harvey Oswald's first shot, and so was killed by Oswald's second shot. By the way, do you recall that Jack Ruby had terminal cancer when he shot Oswald? So we never learned anything from Ruby.

Answer 2

No. If it changed into, then the most probably applicants may be the Mafia, and it changed into the most ineffective conspiracy ever because it produced no outcomes. once you've stood interior the bowl the position the capturing exceeded off or you seem on the images, people were pointing in each single place as to the position the images got here from - so each man or woman eager to make money from promoting conspiracy theories can discover a picture of someone to help a view of the position the images got here from. And the nonsense done to describe how witnesses noted Oswald kill a cop ("it changed into someone who only regarded like him") and be captured interior the theater pretty a lot proves that mind's eye is at artwork. And as we've considered for the reason that that capturing, interior the case of MLK, Nixon, Watergate, Irangate, etc., the probabilities of a conspiracy retaining mutually at present, even as money will bypass to all of us in touch, are pretty a lot nil.

Answer 3

Oswald killed Kennedy. When will people realize that Oswald acted alone, was a crack shot, and killed Kennedy.

Oswald was a crack shot in the USMC, despite Oliver Stone's movie. Oswald owned the rifle, bought the rifle, and used the rifle to kill Kennedy. He had 8.3 seconds to pull of the shot, not 6.2. The magic bullet is BS as well, as Connolly was seated lower and to the left of Kennedy, making the shot that wounded him and Kennedy, a straight shot with an exit ricochet from Connolly.

Oswald was crazy, and wanted attention. His killing of Tibbit shows his panic.

Answer 4

There are lots of myths and fantastic stories surrounding the Kennedy assassination. But the facts show that it was just a crazy communist wanna-be working alone. Oswald killed Kennedy, he had no help, and there was no conspiracy.

Oliver Stone's movie, by the way, is a great movie for entertainment, but it is wildly, wildly inaccurate.

Answer 5

You have the facts. They've been out there for a long long time. Many people believe that the story is true, which they feel would account for why the inconsistancies in the Warren Report were not official investigated further.

Others believe that the CIA would NEVER do something like this...it's up to you to decide for yourself.

Answer 6

Yes

Answer 7

no, silly. Norma Jean's cousin BillyJeff killed him to get even with him for stealing his favorite girfriend.. all those other guys with guns just happened to be standing arround, everywhere, all over the mound, in the building, on bikes, on roof tops. With cameras and 5000 eye witnesses he walked away laughing "I told ya Marylin Monroe for a name would attract all sorts of rats, but I got him for ya..".

Answer 8

I don't have an answer for you, but usually I consider complicated conspiracy theories as too farfetched to be true. And I consider this one to be in that category, but you did give quite a few good reasons to believe it anyway, so I admire that if you do believe it at least you have reasons, so many don't for their own theories.

Answer 9

Sure, just like an Ollie Stone movie. Millions of co-conspirators in the Mafia, the gov't and industry-AND NOT ONE WRITES THE TRUE IRON-CLAD STORY IN HIS AUTOBIOGRAPHY TO SELL FOR MILLIONS!

Answer 10

Don't forget Cuba.

Then again, he isn't really dead. He works with Elvis at a club in Reno.
