Evidence Points to CIA Involvement in JFK Assassination

The assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963 has been a source of controversy and debate for decades. Recent evidence suggests that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) may have had a hand in the president’s death. The recent claims come from two prominent Twitter users, @ComicDaveSmith and @RobbieTheFire, who shared a video on their accounts that alleges the CIA was involved in Kennedy’s assassination. The video states that “once you know the CIA had JFK murdered, you realize the whole federal government you were taught about is fake” and calls for people to “abolish the CIA at a minimum.” This is not the first time allegations have been made against the CIA regarding Kennedy’s death. In 1975, an official inquiry into his assassination concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone when he shot Kennedy from a Dallas book depository building window but some believe there was more to it than meets the eye. In 1978, Congress established The House Select Committee on Assassinations which found that there was likely more than one shooter involved in Kennedy's murder and further suggested that organized crime figures or anti-Castro Cuban exiles could have been involved as well as possibly rogue elements within US intelligence agencies such as the CIA or FBI. More recently, documents released by President Trump under pressure from Congress show that there may be even more evidence pointing towards involvement by US intelligence agencies in Kennedy's death than previously thought. These documents include memos written by then-FBI director J Edgar Hoover detailing conversations with other high ranking officials about possible connections between Oswald and agents of foreign governments including Cuba and Russia as well as possible ties between Oswald and US intelligence agencies such as the CIA or FBI. The implications of these findings are far reaching if true; they suggest that our government may not be what we were led to believe it is and call into question many of our beliefs about democracy and justice in America today. It is clear that further investigation needs to be done into this matter before any conclusions can be drawn but it is certainly something worth considering given all of this new information coming to light.
