THE JFK CONSPIRACY

-

It was 50 years ago in November 1963 that US president John F. Kennedy was murdered in a conspiracy that continues to haunt America. It has been clearly evident for decades that the American public, and the people of the world, do not believe that Lee Harvey Oswald killed JFK. The belief is well-founded. The evidence is on their side. It is the side of truth. Despite this fact, television and radio networks and major magazines refuse to publish the truth. The magnitude of this cover-up alone reveals the power and scope of the conspiracy that brought about the death of president Kennedy.

John Kennedy was far from perfect in his personal life, or in some of the decisions he made as president. However, unlike most presidents, he had some good ideas, and he had plans to implement them.

Since November 22, 1963, there have been over 2,000 books, dozens of television programmes and countless movies filled with theory, conjecture and myth as to why JFK was gunned down in broad daylight on a downtown street.

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, a select group of bureaucrat­s investigat­ing the killing. Denials and government cover-ups continue to reign supreme. The last probe attempt was by the Assassinat­ion Records Review Board, comprising five scholars appointed by then president Bill Clinton. The review board’s mission, to quote its chairman, was to “convince the American 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 gave the “official” order to kill JFK for those persons are either already dead, or close to death, or silent for fear of death, or chose to remain silent until death.

One of the primary reasons JFK was assassinat­ed was because he dared to interfere in the framework of power.
