JFK Assisnation

In 1991 10% of the American public agreed with the Warren Commission Report findings that Lee Oswald was JFK's lone assassin. However over half of the American public believed that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was somehow involved. President Harry S. Truman created the CIA with the signing of the National Security Act (NSA) on September 15, 1947. This act created the National Security Council (NSC) which combined all departments of

The CIA and the refugees blamed Kennedy because he refused to send in military air and naval support. Angry that his orders were not honored, CIA Director Allen Dulles, CIA Deputy Director General Charles Cabell, and the CIA Director of Planning Richard M. Bissel were all fired. At that time Kennedy told Senator Mike Mansfield, Majority Leader of the U.S Senate, that he would tear the CIA "into 1000 pieces and scatter them into the wind”(Groden 410-411).

Elm Street consisted of a very sharp turn surrounded by tall buildings that led down a small hill toward a triple underpass. Somehow, the order of the motorcade was changed. The President's limousine was supposed to be the seventh car but somehow it ended up second just behind the car police Chief Curry was driving. The press was assigned to be right behind the presidential limousine but it was last making it impossible for the assassination to be seen on public television. The motorcade rounded the corner of Elm Street at a speed of eight miles per hour and continued through Deally Plaza where the President was shot. Only one secret service official attempted to save the JFK's life. Strangely it is reported that four of the nine secret service men who played a key role as members of the follow-up car had been out the night prior to the assassination partying at Jack Ruby's nightclub. Secret Service regulation states that any employee consuming alcohol while on duty will be fired. None of the four men were fired or even reprimanded. Six minutes before President Kennedy was shot a microphone of one of the police officers on the scene was left open. This cut off communications between the officers making it impossible for other police to know what was occurring and make it easier for the assassins to escape. Then, seconds after the president was shot the microphone opened back up and a Morse code signal for victory was heard over the Dallas police radio.

After Fidel Castro took over Cuba, the CIA decided they did not approve of how he was managing it and attempted to remove him from power. On March 17, 1960, President Eisenhower approved a CIA proposal that later became known as the Bay of Pigs Operation. This plan to invade Cuba utilized a brigade of American trained Cuban exiles. Expecting to be elected President, Vice President Nixon attended all of the meetings and played an essential role in planning the total operation.

The CIA had to kill Kennedy to save themselves. After the assassination, the cover-up began and Oswald was set up as the easy mark. Only an agency trained in covert operations could possess the capabilities needed to initiate the assassination and the power to cover up their involvement.

Unaware of the CIA's invasion plans the newly elected President Kennedy promised that the United States would not use military action against Cuba. Since Allen Dulles was reassigned Director of the CIA, the Operation's planners believed they could go on with the invasion. When briefed by CIA Director Dulles about the invasion, the President demanded that a temporary hold be
