The JFK Assassination Was a Regime-Change Operation
The following summarizes some of the reasons why the assassination of President John F. Kennedy was a regime-change operation orchestrated and carried out by the U.S. national-security establishment:
1. The fraudulent autopsy that was conducted on President Kennedy’s body on the evening of the assassination. I detail the various elements of autopsy fraud in my book The Kennedy Autopsy, including, for example, two separate brain examinations, one of which necessarily could not have involved the brain of President Kennedy.
Another example: the three separate casket entries into the Bethesda morgue, two of which were top secret, in order to conduct pre-autopsy surgery to make it look like all shots had come from the rear of the president. See Douglas Horne’s masterful documentary The Three Bethesda Casket Entries Revisited.
There is no innocent explanation for a fraudulent autopsy. None! Once one concludes that the JFK autopsy was fraudulent, there is only one conclusion that one can reach: that the U.S. national-security establishment orchestrated and carried out the assassination and that the fraudulent autopsy was part of the cover-up.
Keep in mind, after all, that it is undisputed that the U.S. military establishment conducted the JFK autopsy. Not the Mossad. Not the Mafia. Not the Soviets. Not the Cubans. And not the Reds. Only the U.S. military establishment committed the autopsy fraud. That’s how we know that the national-security establishment orchestrated and committed the assassination.
2. The fraudulent copy of the Abraham Zapruder film that was secretly produced by the CIA on the very weekend of the assassination. The film fraud is detailed in my book An Encounter with Evil: The Abraham Zapruder Story.
There is no innocent explanation for producing a fraudulent copy of a film of the assassination. None! Once one concludes that the CIA secretly produced an altered, fraudulent copy of the Zapruder film, it is “case closed” on the assassination. There is no conclusion that can be reasonably arrived at other than guilt on the part of the U.S. national-security establishment.
3. The national-security establishment had motive to eliminate Kennedy in a regime-change operation. After the CIA’s disastrous and deceptive invasion of Cuba in 1961, Kennedy went to war against the CIA, vowing to destroy it. For its part, the CIA was convinced that Kennedy was a “weak sister” whose cowardice and incompetence would result in a communist takeover of the United States. See FFF’s book JFK’s War with the National-Security Establishment: Why Kennedy Was Assassinated by Douglas P. Horne, who served on the staff of the Assassination Records Review Board in the 1990s.
The war between JFK and the U.S. national-security establishment only got worse, to the point that the Pentagon, the CIA, and the NSA reached the conclusion that Kennedy, as a cowardly and incompetent president, posed a grave threat to “national security.” Assassination is one of the ways that the U.S. national-security establishment eliminates threats to “national security.”
The conviction that Kennedy posed a grave threat to “national security” was reinforced when he reached an agreement with the Soviet Union in which he vowed that he would not permit the Pentagon and the CIA to invade Cuba again, which meant leaving Cuba permanently under communist control.
Even worse, in June 1963, JFK effectively declared an end to the national-security establishment’s Cold War racket, which would have made America’s national-security-state governmental structure irrelevant. No more Cold War racket. No Vietnam War. No war on terrorism. No wars on Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, and others. No perpetual war for perpetual safety. No more out-of-control spending for the military-industrial complex.
4. The official narrative of the assassination never made any sense and was consistent instead with a well-designed cover-up that involving blaming a “communist,” one who was quickly silenced with another assassination.
After all, Lee Harvey Oswald was U.S. Marine. How many communist Marines have you ever heard of? And if he was a genuine Red, why would he want to assassinate a president who was bucking the U.S. national-security establishment by ending its Cold War racket and establishing peaceful and friendly relations with Russia, Cuba, and the rest of the communist world, especially since Vice President Lyndon Johnson was on the side of the Pentagon and the CIA in their war against Kennedy?
Moreover, what are the chances that a magic bullet would enter the bodies of two separate individuals, breaking multiple bones in the process, and coming out in pristine, never-been-shot condition?
What makes sense is that U.S. intelligence recruited U.S. Marine Oswald to serve as an intelligence operative, one whose job would be to portray himself as a “communist,” including by being taught to speak Russian while serving in the Marines, with the aim of infiltrating communist entities, such as the U.S. Communist Party and the Fair Play for Cuba Committee. Then, when a patsy was needed to take the fall for assassinating Kennedy, Oswald, the supposed communist, ended up fitting the bill perfectly — just so long as he could be silenced before he could talk.
5. The U.S. national-security establishment is ruthless and brutal and will stop at nothing to protect “national security,” including through assassination.
Civil-rights leader Martin Luther King correctly observed that the U.S. government is the greatest purveyor of violence in the world. After all, just look at those boat killings on the high seas near South America. In the name their beloved decades-old “war on drugs,” they have snuffed out the lives of more than 200 innocent people. That’s because under our system of justice, people are presumed innocent until proven guilty. These are brutal and ruthless murders in which there is no conscientious regard for the value of human life on the part of the U.S. national-security establishment.
This ruthlessness and brutality is not a new phenomenon, as MLK observed. Don’t forget the CIA’s repeated efforts to murder Cuban leader Fidel Castro. Indeed, don’t forget the CIA’s top-secret murder-partnership with the Mafia, one of the world’s most murderous organizations, one that JFK’s brother Bobby, as U.S. Attorney General, was attempting to destroy while the CIA was secretly partnering with it.
Don’t forget the Pentagon’s and the CIA’s many other assassinations and plans to assassinate, including heads of state and other high officials, such as Patrice Lumumba, Jacobo Arbenz, René Schneider, and Qasem Soleitmani. Don’t forget the U.S. national-security establishment’s assassination of other American citizens, such as Frank Olson and Anwar al-Awlaki.
Indeed, let’s not forget that when the Chilean national-security establishment went to war against Chile’s president in the 1970s, just as the U.S. national-security establishment went to war against Kennedy in the 1960s, the Pentagon and the CIA fully supported their counterparts in the Chilean national-security establishment, knowing full well that that would necessarily mean military attempts to assassinate their president, including by firing missiles from Chilean military warplanes at him.
