anti-Castro C.I.A agents at Robert Kennedy assassination ?

Generally, the BBC is one of the worlds most trusted news agencies, due to its independent funding by the tv license, unlike those news agencies owned by individuals like Rupert Murdoch and his Fox network.\nThis report only raised the question of the presence of CIA agents at the venue before, after and during Bobby Kennedys speech. It states that Bobby was clearly assassinated by someone close behind him, yet there was no evidence of the 3 agents being that close to Bobby, at any stage. Whilst their presence may seem suspicious, it may be a case that the CIA were aware of a potential threat. As to the claim that the CIA would not assign an agent who did not like the Kennedys to investigate such suspicions, or to protect one of them; this is absurd. I have worked for the British Civil Service, and you are expected to put personal ideologies aside, and do your job professionally. CIA agents, like their British Intelligence counterparts can not cherry-pick their assignments. Many Brits do not like the way Israel behaves as a country, and would prefer not to protect Israeli Ministers, but do so, because it is their job. Earlier this year there was an outcry because an Islamic police officer was relieved from protecting the Israeli Embassy during the Lebanon invasion. This would not have been an issue for our Military Intelligence staff, just as fighting a war is not a soldiers choice.\nThis research raised some interesting questions about Intelligence work, but gave no new evidence regarding the assassination.\nIt is a great shame that Bobby Kennedy was killed, as he was the best Kennedy in politics, and would have been an excellent President, both domestically and internationally.

I'm looking for confirmation, but the answer is probably J. Edgar Hoover. Hoover's (and therefore the FBI's) position had always been that there was no such thing as the mob - especially in the U.S. - and the 2-volume 1958 monograph provided solid evidence of the Mafia's operations.\n\nMark Felt, the agent recently identified as "Deep Throat", headed many of the agency's early investigations into organized crime in the U.S.

John F. Kennedy was getting ready to lessen the power of the CIA and had fired top CIA man Dulles.  The CIA and the Mafia worked together on a plan to assassinate Castro during the Bay of Pigs invasion that Kennedy agreed to.  President Kennedy did not provide Air defense protection for the guerilla fighters who were ambushed by Castros guerillas.  This upset both the mob and the CIA.  The mob was already mad because brother Robert was coming down hard on them.  Also JFK was planning on letting LBJ go in 64 and LBJ knew that his political career would have been over.  Also a lot of top leaders were upset at Kennedy's plan to get out of Vietnam.  In other words Kennedy had a lot of people against him that I believed conspired together to assassinate him.  I believe that a lot of people were involved in the conspiracy  but the CIA and mob worked together on how it was carried out.  I believe there were at least 3 snipers firing from front and back.  If you watch the Zapruder film closely it appears as if the limo driver and special agent Greer is doing something with his hands in the front seat looks back once turns around and looks back again and fires the fatal shot.  I have been told that he did it using a famous CIA ice bullet.  Big cover up and the first Crime of the Century.

A few months ago, there was an opening with the CIA for an assassin. These highly classified positions are hard to fill, and there's a lot of testing and background checks involved before you can even be considered for the position.\n\nAfter sending some applicants through the background checks, training and testing, they narrowed the possible choices down to 2 men and a woman, but only one position was available.\n\nThe day came for the final test to see which person would get the extremely secretive job. The CIA men administering the test took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun. "We must know that you will follow your instructions no matter what the circumstances," they explained. "Inside this room, you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Take this gun and kill her."\n\nThe man got a shocked look on his face and said, "You can't be serious! I could never shoot my own wife!"\n\n"Well," says the CIA man, "you're definitely not the right man for this job then."\n\nSo they bring the second man to the same door and hand him a gun. "We must know that you will follow instructions no matter what the circumstances," they explained to the second man. "Inside you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Take this gun and kill her."\n\nThe second man looked a bit shocked, but nonetheless took the gun and went in the room. All was quiet for about 5 minutes, then the door opened. The man came out of the room with tears in his eyes. "I tried to shoot her, I just couldn't pull the trigger and shoot my wife. I guess I'm not the right man for the job."\n\n"No," the CIA man replied, "You don't have what it takes. Take your wife and go home."\n\nNow they're down to the woman left to test. Again they lead her to the same door to the same room and hand her the same gun. "We must be sure that you will follow instructions no matter what the circumstances, this is your final test. Inside you will find your husband sitting in a chair. Take this gun and kill him."\n\nThe woman took the gun and opened the door. Once the door closed, the CIA heard the gun start firing. One shot after another for 13 shots. Then all hell broke loose in the room. They heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls. This went on for several minutes, then all went quiet.\n\nThe door opened slowly, and there stood the woman. She wiped the sweat from her brow and said, "You guys didn't tell me the gun was loaded with blanks! I had to beat the bastard to death with the chair!"\n\n\n\n\nAnd this one is REALLY DIRTY, so don't read unless you're OVER 18 please. It is worth the disgustingness at the end.\n\nVoodoo Penis\nThere was this businessman who was getting ready to go on a long business trip. He knew his wife was a flirtatious sort, so he thought he'd try to get her something to keep her occupied while he was gone, because he didn't much like the idea of her doing someone else. So he went to a store that sold sex toys and started looking around. \n\nHe was browsing through the dilldos, looking for something special to please his wife, and started talking to the old man behind the counter. He explained his situation. The old man said, "Well, I don't really know of anything that will do the trick. We have vibrating dilldos, special attachments, and so on, but I don't know of anything that will keep her occupied for weeks, except -- " and he stopped.\n\n"Except what?" the man asked.\n\n"Nothing, nothing."\n\n"C'mon, tell me! I need something!"\n\n"Well, sir, I don't usually mention this, but there is the 'voodoo penis.'"\n\n"So what's up with this voodoo penis?" he asked.\n\nThe old man reached under the counter, and pulled out an old wooden box, carved with strange symbols. He opened it, and there l

He would not.  if the C I A put him up to be a fall guy, while agency spooks did the real killing, they could have him murdered in the basement of the Dallas County Jail, and arrange for his killer to conveniently die, alone, incommunicado.  That rifle, a bolt-action with poor eye-relief, would never have been used as the weapon that killed JFK.  I find it interesting how Kennedy was shot from a forward angle.  Not from behind, so why would he ? \nGood quesion.

Kennedy lent American military assistance to the Bay of Pigs Invasion of Cuba in April 1961. The amphibious assault had been planned by the Central Intelligence Agency under the Eisenhower administration. The actual invasion was Kennedy's decision, however, and he properly took the blame for its total failure. Later in his administration he tried to diminish anti-Americanism in the Western Hemisphere by backing development projects under the Alliance for Progress, but the small sums involved had little impact. The Peace Corps program was developed with similar goals in mind. Kennedy's chief adversary abroad was the Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev. As early as June 1961 the two men talked in Vienna, but the meeting served only to harden Soviet-American hostility. Khrushchev then threatened to sign a treaty with East Germany that would have given the East Germans control over western access routes to Berlin. Kennedy held firm, and no such treaty was signed. The Soviets responded, however, by erecting a wall between East and West Berlin. Kennedy used the crisis to request from Congress, and to receive, greatly increased appropriations for defense.\n\nBy far the tensest overseas confrontation of the Kennedy years occurred with the Cuban missile crisis. In October 1962, U.S. intelligence discovered that the Russians were constructing offensive missile sites in Cuba. Kennedy recognized that such missiles would add little to Russian military potential, but he regarded the Soviet move as deliberately provocative. Resolving to show his mettle, he ordered a naval and air quarantine on shipments of offensive weapons to Cuba. At first armed conflict seemed likely. But the Soviets pulled back and promised not to set up the missiles; the United States then said it would not attack Cuba.\n\nAs if chastened by this crisis, the most frightening of the cold war, the Soviets and Americans in 1963 signed a treaty barring atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons. Kennedy nevertheless remained as ready as before to stop Communist advances. He continued to bolster American defenses and stepped up military aid to South Vietnam, where revolutionary forces were increasingly active. By November 1963, the United States had sent some 16,000 military personnel to Vietnam. His administration also intervened in South Vietnamese politics by at least conniving at the overthrow of Ngo Dinh Diem in November 1963.

Because some believe that it was an assassination and they are wondering who ordered the hit.

I can believe that Oswald might have taken a few shots at the motorcade, but I don't believe he was the only person in Dallas assigned to kill Kennedy.  It's a fact that he deliberately took a menial job at one of the prime locations for a sniper's nest in Dealey Plaza.  Oswald did have marksmanship training in the Marines and held a serious grudge against Kennedy for his Cuban and Russian policies.\n\nHaving said all that, I believe Oswald was duped into believing he was the sole person responsible for carrying out the assassination.  Whoever orchestrated the hit probably assigned another team to make sure the job was done right and Oswald didn't nerve out at the last minute.  One of these men was hiding near the grassy knoll, probably in a Ghillie suit to look like the ground.  He wouldn't necessarily have to run away during the ensuing chaos- he probably sat perfectly still until he could slip out unnoticed.\n\nThere were men at the scene claiming to be officials from the FBI and CIA who were never seen again or interrogated.  They were observed picking up shell casings and bullet fragments.  \n\nI've also had problems believing the fatal headshot footage. Zapruder jerked his arm four times during the shooting, which was an involuntary reaction to the sound of gunfire. Kennedy's reaction to the fatal shot could just as easily be explained as a front entry wound.  Photos exist showing smoke rising from the grassy knoll area, plus several eyewitnesses said they heard at least one shot from that direction.  \n\nIn my opinion, two separate entities formed two separate plans to assassinate Kennedy that day, but only one team was in place in time to do it.  The Mafia had the will and the personnel, but the precision of the shots and the ensuing cover up points to a military operation.

We get a lot of government propaganda regarding Cuba so it's tough to know the absolute truth. I do know the big stink was caused back in the late fifties because Eisenhower's administration refused to help Castro throw out the organized crime figures.   Castro was turned away when he came to us for help (kind of like Northern Ireland was).  Castro then turned to the USSR and they were more than happy to give him the arms to throw the American mafia out!  From this point, the U/S has confused the issue and clouded the facts. Now supposedly Castro is "evil".  Who knows the truth, we sure aren't getting any these days.

Okay...JFK was murdered by a combination of CIA, Mossad, French Intelligence and the Mafia on behalf of the military industrial complex. In a nutshell: JFK was a bit too reactionary for the m/i c; he wanted to make too many reforms. In his own words, he wanted to "smash the CIA into a thousand pieces" over their Cuban faux pas. He sacked the Director of CIA, Allen Dulles, shortly before he was assassinated. Allen Dulles, funnily enough, ended up being one of the members of the -you guessed it- Warren Commission! \nNow, it is no big secret that JFK's dad used his influence with the mafia -particularly a mobster named Sam Giancana- to get Jack elected. Which is all very well and good, even though the Kennedy's had every intention of double crossing the mob, especially when Bobby, as Attourney General, went after them. But JFK's biggest mob related mistake was screwing around with Giancana's mistress. That was the last straw. \nSo Kennedy had to go. It was at the hands of the military industrial complex, BUT they needed some help with the operation. This is where Mossad and French intelligence come in. \nAs for Lee Harvey Oswald...he really was a patsy. I think he constitutes the mafia connection. But no way was he the "lone gunman". Let's consider some of the forensic evidence, shall we?\nJFK was hit three times. The first was to the throat. This bullet came from the front, as even the Zapruder film shows. The second bullet came from behind, and was most likely the one fired by LHO. This is the supposed "magic bullet" that went through Kennedy and into Gov. Connally. The third fatal head shot also came from the front. Eyewitness reports from Dealey Plaza (which were, of course supressed by the media) claim that two or three men with guns were seen hanging around the...Grassy Knoll! Most people considered them to be Secret Service Agents. Oh, yes...Bernard Barker, a CIA agent who would gain infamy nine years later as one of the Watergate burglars, was also on the scene. Possibly overseeing the op. Guess who else happened to be in Dallas on Novemeber 22nd? Richard Nixon! Could be a coincidence...\nSo, long story short, JFK was killed because he was stepping on waaaaay too many toes. And when you do that, you're gone. Some people say it was a failed coup. Not quite. The JFK assassination was more or less personal, not business, as Michael Corleone ("The Godfather") would put it...\nCheck out the following books:

first , for complaints.... go to...\n\nhttp://hrw.org/english/docs/2005/01/13/cuba9848.htm\n\nthen\nhttp://www.cubanet.org/CNews/y06/jun06/20e5.htm\n\nfor more info on this here .....\n\nEXCERPT FROM THE NET>>>SOURCE HAS BEEN GIVEN\n\n\nThe term "terrorism," in practice, means the terrorism that THEY carry out against US. And the U.S. is not alone in this practice - it is probably close to universal. Cuba is certainly not alone in being treated this way. There is very rich literature documenting the practice generally.... Even the orders of the World Court calling on the U.S. to terminate its "unlawful use of force" (i.e., international terrorism, or maybe even aggression) against Nicaragua, and the supporting Security Council resolution (vetoed by the US), are unknown [in the U.S.], and if brought up, dismissed as proof that the Court is "anti-American" and irrelevant. The Cuban case is unusual because it is so clear, certainly since JFK ordered his staff to launch "the terrors of the earth" against Cuba....\n--Noam Chomsky, September, 2002\n\nTo understand the politics of Cuba, it is necessary to understand the role of the US in Latin America and elsewhere. By examining the history of the US aggression and intervention, we can see clearly the motives that have driven its foreign policy and what it is capable of given the motive and opportunity. It will then be easy to see why the Cuban people must take what seem to us to be extraordinary measures to counter this threat. For them, it is truly a matter of life and death. Recent developments -- shifts in popular opinion in the US, etc. -- are the basis for some optimism that Cuba/US relations may soon improve. Cubans must, however, exercise extreme caution if they are not to meet a fate similar to that of the former USSR, Yugoslavia and others. As William Blum states in the introduction to his recent essay, US Aggression and Intervention, in The Guardian (CPA), \n\nThe engine of American foreign policy has been fueled not by a devotion to any kind of morality, but by the necessity to serve other imperatives: \n\nto make the world safe for American corporations; \nto enhance the financial statements of defence contractors at home who have contributed generously to members of Congress; \nto prevent the rise of any society that might serve as a successful example of an alternative to the capitalist model; \nto extend political and economic hegemony over as wide an area as possible, as befits a 'great power'. \n\nit will come as no surprise to readers that some international organizations, do not see Cuba as democracy. Following is a rebuttal of a typical criticism of the Cuban electoral based on an excerpt (in italics) from a report on human rights in Cuba by a commission of the Organization of American States (OAS). The section entitled "Elections for the National Assembly of People's Power and the Provincial Assemblies" begins:\n\nThe American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man establishes the right to vote and to participate in government at Article XX, in the following terms. \nArticle XX. Every person having legal capacity is entitled to participate in the government of his country, directly or through his representatives, and to take part in popular elections, which shall be by secret ballot, and shall be honest, periodic and free.\n\n38. Political rights, as considered by the Declaration, have two clearly distinguishable aspects: the right to directly exercise power, i.e., to participate in government; and the right to elect those who are to exercise it, i.e., the right to vote. This presupposes a broad conception of representative democracy, based on popular sovereignty, in which the functions by which power is exercised are performed by persons chosen in free and fair elections.\n\nThis is the case in Cuba. In addition to having the right to vote, every Cuban of voting age has an equal opportu

We'll never know unless we find a portal to some parallel universe where someone was able to intercept the shooter, or thwart the conspiracy, etc.\n\nThough we are seeing an incredible degree of corruption now, it didn't just start in 2000.  The groundwork was being laid well before Kennedy.  History shows that he was no saint, either, but then few people are.\n\n"If" is a mighty big word.  Every single decision and every single action has consequences.  Think about the butterfly effect.  There's just no way to take an isolated incident and say that it was the only thing that led to... whatever.  Also, an act is often the result of the time we live in, and many times we get the impression that if one person didn't do it, someone else would try.

The assassination of John F. Kennedy, the thirty-fifth President of the United States, took place on Friday, November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas, USA at 12:30 PM Central Standard Time (18:30 UTC). Kennedy was fatally wounded by gunshots while riding in a presidential motorcade within Dealey Plaza. He was the fourth U.S. President to be assassinated, and the eighth to die while in office.\n\nAn official investigation by the Warren Commission was conducted over a 10-month period, and its report was published in September 1964, concluding that the assassin was Lee Harvey Oswald, an employee of the Texas School Book Depository in Dealey Plaza. A later official investigation by the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) was conducted from 1976 to 1979, and concluded that Oswald probably acted with at least one other person. The assassination is still the subject of widespread speculation, and has spawned a number of Kennedy assassination theories.

Cuba, in retaliation for JFK trying to assassinate Castro via the Mob.  FBI agents tried to track down leads involving meetings between Oswald and Cuban agents in Mexico City, but were recalled by FBI central office....so the leads were never fully developed.  The Cuban agent involved has never commented on this subject.

Frankly I was not aware of this till now. But I did some 1 hour research for you question and here is what I found out.\n\nKennedy used "Castro-Card" to defeat Nixon as the Cold War was in full force. But he was unaware that the CIA had all planned and was more than happy to have the hawkish Kennedy to get elected.\n\nApparently Kennedy developed cold feet and tried to avoid "US Involvement" and did some utterly stupid changes to the plan which nothing but doomed the invasion. Its the worst fiasco to hit the Kennedy Administration.\n\nHere are some links with more material for your essay. If possible buy/rent that book "Decision for Disaster: Betrayal at the Bay of Pigs ". You will blow your peers' essays with your explosive view points...\n\nAll the Best. Please do message me as how you did and what score it fetched to you..\n\n.:Fishie:.
