I have come to believe, over the years, that the most likely theory of the Kennedy assassination is that Castro had Kennedy killed and the U.S. covered it up for national security reasons.

Castro had the clearest motive in that Kennedy had tried numerous times to assassinate him. The U.S. also had every reason to cover it up. If the American people had learned the truth, there would have been irresistable pressure to invade Cuba.

At this time, Cuba had Russian tactical nuclear weapons. An invasion could have gone nuclear and resulted in a US/Soviet nuclear exchange. One of the reasons I came to believe in this theory above the others is the ongoing US/Cuban embargo. We have embargoed Cuba for over 40 years.

This is ridiculous. What could possibly explain this attitude to a former enemy? We have made peace with everyone from the cold war except Cuba. We continue to trade with countries today that are our political and active enemies like Syria and Iran. I think the only rational explanation for the Embargo is that we cannot normalize relations with a man who killed our President.

If Castro dies soon, maybe we will find out the truth. The reason for keeping the Kennedy assassination truth a secret might die with Castro. I hope this is the case, and we lay to rest the conspiracy theories and close that sad chapter of American history.

Spencer Perceval was murdered in 1812, and it still hurts.

I am always bemused at all the wonder that surrounds JFK, ask anyone on the street and he is one of the most popular presidents, he has a certain aura which for some reason put him with greats such as Franklin D. Roosevelt, George Washington, etc..

Looking at his achievements leaves one a bit confused perhaps, what did he accomplish that recieves such a strong devotion and following. Also every year JFK death day, hear it on every tv, newspaper mention it, and the radio.

So in essence to fit in, long live the legacy of camelot, and the kennedy's I guess.

Who?

Who?
lol, the only British Prime Minister to be assassinated.

I think I'm nearly over the pain though.

When do they release the information on that? Is it 2025 or something?

You people still aren't over that?

Well, Christians still aren't over the death of Jesus, and that was 2000 years ago, so you might keep on hearing these theories for a while.

I hardly think that someone who's soul achievement as President was to call himself a doughnut is quite comparable to God on Earth.

And Bill Hicks is an idiot.

Whatever do you mean? I think it's the same exact arena of fantasy on both parts.
Just a matter of how many dupes ... er, fans there are that are "keepin' the faith".

You never know... he might have been a prophet for the Flying Spaghetti Monster?

Food shall be your god!!!

I don't think he was God on Earth. And Kennedy's accomplishment was becoming president. See, for that, you have to get voted for. Jesus just walked around and talked to people. That is much easier.

and I disagree. Bill Hicks is the shit. I think he would make a better God on Earth than Jesus. I mean, at least Bill is funny.

Capricorn One?

I havent a f***ing clue.

It's really not a long fall from the tree. No worries.

I dont believe that it was indeed Castro.

Too many coincidences happened on that day for it to be anything other than an inside job.
Not just an inside job, but one that came from the most powerful men in America.
Who else would have that kind of influence in this country, to get such people as future Presidents to continue the lies surrounding the murder?

I think he opposed some very powerful families, who had some very radical ideas concerning globalization, and stood in the way of that progress, and becuase he was a very popular president, who had some very strong allies, he presented too much of a threat to thier plans.

[insert conspiracy nutbaggery]
Furthermore, I think George Bush Sr, may have had something to do with it.
He claims he did not work for the CIA in 1963, but records show he was employed there as early as 1961.
His job was supplying weapons, and skilled teams for paramilitary missions.
In other words, he may have organized the team that killed Kennedy.

He can be placed in Dallas on the day of the murder.

If anything at all, hes an accesory before the fact, and probably had no actual part in the events that day beyond arranging and supplying.

Anyone care to look at the connection between Bushes, and Senator Connelly?

Theres some compelling, if not conclusive evidence that names Bush as an accessory, not all of it garbage.

I love a good conspiracy theory as much as the next person! However I think yours is a little OTT. Why would the US government have let Castro survive all these years (unless the Republicans were secretly thanking him for offing a Democrat)? Tell me you step down as the Mayor of Carzytown! :p

I was watching a documentry on this the other day and the most bizzare part is that the mortion lost a large part the presidents brain.

Where did it go? Down the back of the sofa?

I think he got himself killed just to fuck with us.

lol, the only British Prime Minister to be assassinated.

We've only had one assassinated? That's rubbish! The yanks have had four presidents offed and they're newbies!

I suppose we've had plenty of kings and suchlike killed in office, but dying in battle's the ultimate aim of a monarch, really.

Oswald was a communist and supported Cuba. Probably as close as the connection goes.

This has been disproven too many times now.

It was an agent of the Illuminati, conspiring with the Freemason Shadow Army to track down extra-terrestial infiltrators - the group better known as Majestic 12. *nods*

Only one British First Lord has been assassinated. Amazing, isn't it? As to kings dying in battle, I most certainly wouldn't want to if I were on the throne.

And slightly disappointing. They'll get complacent. Oh, wait...

It is called Executive Action (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0070046/).

I would rather have a general lead the Armed Forces. After all, what are they being paid to do? Anyway, religion is what got my ancestors deposed.

Damn, you know too much.

Now please allow these men in black coats to escort you to the black car with tinted windows outside, no screaming nor calling for help.

¿Comprende?

Now, to the serious part.

No, I dont think Castro had JFK killed, though it sounds like a good theory.

Reality <---------------------------------------------------------->You


Indeed

I dont think it was Cuba, but I think the relations with Cuba at the time had somehting to do with it.

Also, LBJ could have been pissed that he only got the VP position and ordered a hit.

Who knows.

Famous person plus assassination equals Sainthood and martyrdom
Lincoln kennedy Selena and Lennon were all jumping the shark or beyond until they were assassinated. In some quarters being a martyr has proven to be such a powerful siren song that folks assassinate themselves just to reach it.

I was watching the history channel and I learned that prior to his assasination, Kennedy was getting close to making peace with Cuba. I doubt Castro, knowing that this would mean fewer assasination attemts, would have Kennedy killed.

I also doubt Oswald could have been the one to fire the fatal bullet.
