JFK killing turned world on its head

THE review of the book Handsome Johnny in the lifestyle section warrants comment. Many historians believe that Rosselli either knew beforehand, or played a pivotal role in John F Kennedy’s murder. Some believe he is the Rosetta Stone in a conspiracy that continues to haunt America.

Since November 22, 1963 there have been books, dozens of television programmes and countless movies filled with theory, conjecture and myth as to why JFK was gunned down in daylight in Dallas.

Until now no one has been able to prove anything other than the fact that the FBI and the CIA did little to help the Warren Commission.

Denials, false sponsors, and government cover-ups continue to reign supreme, the last attempt was the assassination records review board, five scholars appointed by then President Bill Clinton.

The board while powerless from a judicial standpoint, appears credible, yet “controlled”.

Their mission, to quote the chairman, was to “convince the America people that the government is not withholding any documents from the public”. Professional assassins do not take notes or leave documents behind. The real proof is in the evidence gathered after the crime.

The world will never know who the persons were that gave the “official” orders to kill JFK, for those persons are either already dead, close to the death, silent in fear of death, or they choose to remain silent until death.

One of the primary reasons JFK was assassinated had to do with the fact he dared to interfere in the framework of power. Had he lived, the US and the world at large would have been a much safer place for mankind.
