Yeah I have no idea about today except for operation mockingbird in which in the 60s the CIAhad control of over 400 media professionals. I think they have some media control today ( probably not like before ) but when a war is up for debate after the president recommends it , it always seems the media is beating the drums to get us to support it and IMO after the 50s the only worthwhile war was the one with Afghanistan which is hilarious as we were afraid to use a lot of troops in the beginning ( Tora Bora) , most of wars like Vietnam and Iraq we bull dozed in and just got alot of kids killed and probably cost us multi trillions.

I like to read and there is a book called Breach of Trust which got me deeper into this as I strongly feel if it weren't for JFK during the missle crisis I wouldn't be alive as my family is from east Harlem and Levintown which almost certainly would have been hit by a battlefield nuke ( those were the instructions of wr invaded )

Back to the book , the author doesn't really get into who did it and why but just shows how ridiculous the Warren commission was when when seeing all the evidence we have today .

another crucial fact is the fair play for Cuba New Orleans branch that LHO supposedly was the sole head of was a CIA front headquartered in a fierce anti communist office - Guy Bannisters place - whose own secretary said Bannister told her LHO was with them , yet he was supposedly a communist, Guy was smart and after the hit he didn't leave his house until he died right around the release of the WC . Even worse is once the first HSCA investigators were getting closer in how important Mexico City was , one of them was handcuffed and escorted out and in comes George Joannides (new liaison with HSCA) who was running these fair play for Cuba fronts and conveniantly forgot to tell the HSCA, even getting Blakely who has also been the mob did it to say he now believes almost nothing the CIA told him.

Joannides was brought out of retirement for this role which indicates the importance . We know now that during Garrison investigation , the CIA planted several individuals in his office as spies ( why?) and sadly it was one of these individuals who interviewed Richard Nagel , possibly the most important witness . He was a double agent but working for us , the kbg caught wind of the anti Castro Cuban plot and ironically he was told by the Russians to either tell LHO he was playing with fire here ( Nagel stated he tried to convince him as he was LHO tail ) or kill him. Instead he fired a round in a bank in Texas , wrote a letter to Hoover about the plot and when asked by the policeman why he did it , he said you will find out in 2 months in Dallas and I wasn't going to commit treason, the police officer backs this up . The guy Nagell was sort of a looney to some but he did tell the author of the LA assassination plan and the players and it just happened to match his conclusions . He also was at the same Japan base as LHO tailing him I believe gong off memory . The book is the man who knew too much .

Interesting and never shown for national security reasons until recently , LBJ said he didn't believe the LHO story and felt it was the Cubans, this is on tv for all to see , which is somewhat convenient as you don't have to state anti Castro Cubans were involved ( just say Cubans did it ) and the CIA Miami station ran them and also RFK who was shell shocked for months as I'm sure he felt partly responsible .

Sadly I'm not sure we will ever get the smoking gun ( outside LHO being impersonated in his MC tapes which is fascinating on so many levels and proves their were more people involved) as several of the men possibly involved learned from their big executive action mistake in 1954 Guatamalean coup where many things were documented on paper . We will see in 2017.

Don't forget one of the top anti Castro Cubans , Antonio Veciana saw LHO with David Atlee Phillips ( aka Maurice Bischop) finally confirming it and when during the Garrison or HSCA ( can't remember ) investigation , every source traced back to Phillips who was head of disinformation for the CIA, the LHO cover atory was released to trusted media almost immediately . Phillips admitted to his nephew on his death bed he was in Dallas the day of the hit and was crying , showing remorse for his role .

The shit is just deep and JFK had to use civilians as back channels to leaders he was seeking peace with and once it was learned JFK was wxoring peace with JFK , I wouldn't doubt that's when things heated up .

the WC had no motive so just said LHO was seeking noteriety yet would never admit to killing LHO , even to his breath .

Im glad you have interest in the topic as it really was so crucial to our history , no Vietnam with JFK or Cambodia and likely the ending of the Cold War occurs in the late 60s as opposed to 80s
