Supposedly CIA backed. JFK was the only one in the oval office who didn't want war with Cuba during the missile crisis. He wanted to get rid of the CIA. Ever since corruption has followed.
Thanks Jacob!

The whole damn government is a sideshow. Bankers, CIA, NGO's, lawyers are calling all the shots.
One of the great tragedies of the modern age -- what this world might have been had a few good men lived, we will never know -- and this is why we ponder it endlessly.

Ah, was there another shooter? Was the Warren Commission a plot? Did Oswald stand there alone? Was Jack Ruby part of the plot? Don''t think we will ever know for sure. JFK....they don't make em like that anymore, do they? Lydi**

I think more attention has been given that "other shooter" than to Oswald. Conspiracy theorists come forth.

Ah, the "grassy knoll"...you know Sirhan Sirhan was just up for parole? He does not deny killing Bobby but insists that he has no memory at all of that entire day...like it was erased. Neither does he have any recollection of adversity to the Kennedy family. Here's the "interesting" part. There is a hypnotic drug called scapolomine which has its origins in Colombia and is used by robbers, rapists and killers to attack their victims. Guess who was "studying" this drug in the sixties as a possible interrogation drug? That's right, the CIA. Under the influence of that peculiar drug a person can be made to do anything and loses complete memory of it after...coincidence? The CIA abandoned its pursuit of the drug as an interrogation tool because they found that under its hypnotic influence a person would agree to anything and any suggestion. To learn more you can watch "World's Scariest Drug" on YouTube...it's a VICE documentary. Very scary indeed.
