Kennedy was going to close 52 military installations in 25 states and 21
overseas bases. He was working to end the US occupation of Vietnam. Though much has been
written to the contrary, Kennedy's Vietnam withdrawal plan is a fact, not
speculation.
Kennedy thwarted military contractor United States Steel's plans to raise steel prices and sought to eliminate the oil depletion allowance. And on May 20, 1962, Kennedy passionately argued for universal health care in a speech given at Madison Square Garden.
With a dismantled CIA, peaceful coexistence with the Soviet Union, an end to the nuclear arms race, the closure of military bases domestically and around the globe, and an end to the Vietnam war, there would be drastic reduction in the size and influence of the Military-Industrial Complex of the National Security State. Kennedy was in the crosshairs of the government-corporate sectors for a myriad of reasons, but it all boiled down to this: No war -- Hot or Cold -- no money.
The Vietnam war was a bloody cash cow that eventually generated 738 billion (in today's dollars) for the Military-Industrial Complex. With that kind of money at stake, as well as the unknown billions being poured into the arms race, is it any wonder a coup d'Ã ©tat against the president who stole his office was in the works?
Under Kennedy's leadership -- stolen election or not -- the United States would have changed course back towards something akin to the FDR/Henry Wallace vision of America. A more rational approach to American-Soviet relations without the anti-communist hysteria would lead to coexistence -- instead of annihilation. Redirecting the billions spent for war and defense would have made possible the implementation of FDR's proposed Second Bill of Rights. Imagine for a moment that we could look back upon celebrating 50 years of universal health care instead of remembering the 50th anniversary of Kennedy's murder.
JFK was not assassinated by a lone gunman as was determined by the Warren Commission. The commission concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald fired three shots from a 6.5 mm Carcano Model 91/38 carbine killing Kennedy and wounding Texas governor John Connally. But because of an 8mm film of the assassination recorded by Abraham Zapruder, we know the government's official story of Kennedy's assassination is nothing but lies, distortion, and a shoddy cover-up.
Zapruder's camera advanced the film at 18.3 frames per second. We know exactly from start to finish how long it took for the assassination to take place from the first to last shot fired. We know how long it takes to aim, load, and fire the Carcano rifle three times. We know it is not possible to fire four shots with that rifle in the allotted time. And we know not one marksman has duplicated Oswald's alleged marksmanship using Oswald's rifle in the condition as it was found in the so-called "assassin's nest" at the Texas Schoolbook Depository building.
Figuring out how many shots were fired based on how much damage was done to Kennedy, Connally, to the car, and to a by-stander, the minimum number of shots required seems to be no less than four, and probably more like six. The House Select Committee on Assassinations formed in 1976 concluded there were at least four shots .
There were more than three shots ... therefore there was more than one gunman ... therefore there was a conspiracy. That's all we need to know. As to the actual identities of the gunmen -- that's almost irrelevant. The gunmen were the puppets of the conspirators. What's more important is to look at those who benefited from the assassination. From that pool we can see the breadth and depth of the conspiracy, the creation of the killing zone, and the subsequent cover-up.
Of all the peripheral entities swirling inside the assassination conspiracy maelstrom -- who could plan and benefit from the murder? There's only one consistent candidate: the Military-Industrial Complex of the National Security State. Could the Russians, Cubans, or Mafia, or any other of the Usual Suspects, change the motorcade route that led the presidential limousine to the killing zone? Of course not. The destruction of evidence began within hours of the president's death. Senior officials of the U.S. government, especially those at the CIA and FBI, destroyed evidence and lied about the assassination and the events that led up to it.
As Donald Sutherland's character in JFK explains...

As Donald Sutherland's character in JFK explains...
"That's the real question, isn't it? Why? The how and the who is just scenery for the public. Oswald, Ruby, Cuba, the Mafia... keeps them guessing, like a game. Prevents them from asking the most important question: why? Why was Kennedy killed? Who benefited? Who has the power to cover it up? Who?"
The only answer that covers all the bases is ... the Military Industrial
Complex of the Nation Security State.
Who but the government had the wherewithal to engineer such a cover-up
and steadfastly maintain it through the coming decades? And isn't it
monumentally fortuitous, how incredibly opportune, that a
neurotic misguided misfit, a "lone gunman" named Lee Harvey Oswald, just
happened to assassinate the one man who could deny the ambitions of the
Military-Industrial Complex of the National Security State?
After Kennedy's assassination, the United States was back on course to war
and reaping profits from war. And it would stay on that course for the
next 37 years. Until the next coup.
