John F. Kennedy's policies upset powerful interests, leading to a conspiracy involving the CIA, FBI, and the mob, with Lyndon B. Johnson as a key figure. Johnson is alleged to have been responsible for multiple murders and had connections to the CIA and the mob. The CIA's motive was Kennedy's handling of the Bay of Pigs and the Cuban Missile Crisis, while the mob sought to avoid deportation efforts against its leaders after Kennedy's father promised to stop them if he was elected. Johnson blackmailed his way onto the ticket in 1960 and was under investigation by Robert Kennedy. Witnesses and insiders linked to the assassination died mysteriously. The Warren Commission's findings are disputed, with claims of ignored witnesses and altered evidence. Witnesses claimed shots came from the grassy knoll, and a photo suggests a "badgeman" figure. The Warren Commission had members with conflicts of interest, and evidence suggests manipulation. A bullet found in the limo was later placed on Connolly's stretcher, contradicting the single bullet theory. Doctors reported seeing wounds consistent with shots from the front and back. Kennedy's body was illegally removed from Texas, and Johnson's swearing-in had ulterior motives. Johnson had control over Dallas and its officials. There were multiple shooters, including Malcolm Wallace, tied to Johnson. The Zapruder film was altered, and a second film exists. Trump withheld some Kennedy assassination documents due to their disturbing nature. Johnson knew about Oswald before his capture. Guy Des Moines Shield, possibly Oswald's handler, died suspiciously. Johnson was a psychopath, and E. Howard Hunt claimed Johnson ran the assassination. Nixon believed Johnson was involved, stating he "wouldn't kill for it." Kennedy challenged powerful entities, similar to Trump, who faced resistance from the "deep state."

According to the speaker's research, a domestic conspiracy existed to murder John F. Kennedy, involving various institutions and individuals with differing motives. The CIA believed Kennedy was soft on the Russians and wanted to use Cuba to provoke a war. The Secret Service, FBI, and CIA knew President Kennedy was addicted to methamphetamine, administered by Dr. Max Jacobson, who treated many famous people, claiming to provide vitamins and enzymes. Kennedy sought treatment from Jacobsen for severe back pain stemming from a WWII injury. These agencies allegedly used Kennedy's drug use to rationalize his murder, fearing he might concede too much to Nikita Khrushchev. Dr. Max Jacobsen's name appears on the manifest for the plane to Vienna for Kennedy's summit with Khrushchev.

Charlie Kirk addresses perspectives on political assassinations, including JFK’s. In the JFK files, Mossad is mentioned, but not tied to involvement; the best reading is “who wanted JFK dead the most,” with Israel frequently cited, yet Lyndon Baines Johnson, parts of the U.S. government, and the Cubans also implicated. There were “like, 15 or 20 things that happened that day that were inexcusable,” such as changing the parade route, JFK riding in an open-air convertible, LBJ not riding alongside him, the vehicle slowing down as it passed the Texas School Book Depository. The question emphasized is not only who did it, but that more than one person did it; acknowledging that could reveal government lies about JFK, leading to a broader skepticism about future government trust. Another participant comments that Charlie Kirk reminded viewers of common sense and not accepting force-fed narratives or “BS crap” from the government regarding a single gunman; the discussion notes “multiple people were involved” and “a lot of strange things occurred” that day. This aligns with a broader critique of government psychological operations: MK Ultra, Mockingbird, and Mockingbird II. The first government surveillance on the people after JFK’s assassination is described as Mockingbird I, designed to convince there was nothing to see despite much to see, with Mockingbird II deployed again to convince people that questions about Kirk’s narrative are crazy and to suggest there may be Turning Point USA employees engaged in an obvious cover-up. Frank Turek is cited as saying it’s crazy to imply betrayal by trusted individuals, though the historical note mentions Jesus Christ as a betrayal example; the discussion asserts JFK personally selected LBJ as vice president, and that LBJ was clearly implicated in JFK’s assassination. Charlie is said to be open to the idea that Mossad may have been involved, and he asserts that parts of the U.S. government and the Cubans were involved; he asks for more argument regarding Mossad. He suggests JFK’s assassination was plausible to involve multiple actors and notes that the question of “who wanted JFK dead the most” should be pursued further, including in examining who would want Charlie Kirk dead and why. The dialogue then moves to the political fast lane, with three motives for those who might want him dead: money, secrets, and power. He says he refused money, implying he knows his secrets; his youth political organization has gained influence. The discussion speculates on global implications, naming France, Israel, the U.S. government, and Egypt as mentioned in connection with the investigation. The McCrone couple are described as having paid for an assassination threat, and, notably, neither the Pentagon nor the White House or intelligence agencies nor the Elysee Palace dispute that narrative; the FBI is now listed as not denying that threat.

According to the speaker, JFK's assassination was a conspiracy involving the Italian mafia, the CIA, and Zionists. The CIA wanted JFK gone because he threatened to dismantle their rogue operations and disliked Director Alan Dulles. The mafia felt betrayed after JFK's father allegedly made a deal to rig the election, and then JFK's brother, RFK, targeted them as Attorney General. The FBI was allegedly neutered in investigating the mafia because Hoover was being blackmailed by Meyer Lansky of the Jewish mafia. Israel wanted JFK dead because he threatened their nuclear program, which they developed secretly after stealing uranium with the help of the French. The speaker claims politicians knew of Israel's involvement. Lyndon B. Johnson allegedly forced his way onto the ticket as VP by threatening to expose JFK's adultery. Lee Harvey Oswald was a patsy; there were multiple shooters, including Jack Valenti and David Ferry, CIA contractors. Jack Valenti allegedly fired the kill shot. Jack Ruby, real name Jacob Rubinstein, killed Oswald and confessed he did it for Israel and the Jewish people. The Zapruder film was filmed by Abraham Zapruder, a Jewish Zionist. Oliver Stone's movie JFK was funded by Arnaud Milchan, a Jewish Zionist billionaire involved in covering up Israel's nuclear program.

President Kennedy's assassination remains a hotly debated topic. While the official Warren Commission concluded Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, evidence suggests a more complex narrative. Many eyewitnesses reported shots coming from the front, contradicting Oswald's position. The rushed investigation and immediate pronouncements by President Johnson and FBI Director Hoover to quell any notion of conspiracy raise serious questions. The CIA actively discredited those questioning the official story, labeling them "conspiracy theorists." Kennedy's shifting stance on the Cold War and his growing conflict with the military and intelligence agencies further fuel ongoing debate about his death. The lack of accountability for those behind Kennedy's murder casts a long shadow over US foreign policy.

Today marks the 60th anniversary of the JFK assassination, and there are still unanswered questions. The speaker discusses liaison activities, where the CIA and FBI can avoid reporting their actions to Congress if done jointly with partner agencies like MI6 or MASA. This is used as an excuse to withhold JFK documents, as revealing that the FBI and CIA used foreign henchmen to manipulate the president would jeopardize their existence and partnerships. The speaker mentions Trump's reluctance to expose allies. They emphasize the need for truth and urge action on liaison activities to dismantle the deep state and uncover the truth behind JFK's assassination.

President Kennedy died, and Vice President Johnson took office. The assassinations of John and Robert Kennedy are widely regarded as cover-ups, often attributed to a Kennedy curse rather than a common motive. Robert, deeply loyal to John, served as his attorney general and trusted advisor. After John's death, Robert felt compelled to continue his brother's legacy, prompting fears among those responsible for John's assassination. Robert began his own investigation and reached out to foreign intelligence operatives. Evidence suggests Sirhan Sirhan didn't fire the fatal shots that killed Robert. Eyewitness accounts and audio analysis point to a second shooter and more bullets fired than Sirhan's gun held. Experts believe Sirhan may have been hypnotically programmed. There are also indications that Israel was experimenting with assassinations in 1968.

The Kennedy family had a long-standing feud with the CIA. Joseph Kennedy, the family patriarch, called for an end to the CIA's operations, and John and Robert Kennedy criticized the CIA's role in Vietnam. Before his assassination, John Kennedy planned to remove the clandestine services from the CIA. There were many enemies, not just from the CIA, who opposed the family. It wasn't until recently that doubts arose about who killed John Kennedy. Paul Schrade, a close friend of Robert Kennedy, believes Sirhan Sirhan did not act alone. The autopsy report and ballistic evidence suggest that Sirhan couldn't have shot John Kennedy from behind. The speaker doesn't draw any conclusions but emphasizes the importance of facts, autopsy reports, ballistic evidence, and eyewitness accounts. The involvement of the CIA or another government agency remains uncertain.

We spoke to someone with access to hidden CIA documents about their involvement in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The response was clear: yes, the CIA was involved. This revelation suggests that there are powerful forces within the U.S. government that operate beyond democratic control, capable of influencing elections and concealing their actions, including the murder of a president. This undermines the very concept of democracy. Trust in the government has declined since Kennedy's assassination, and those in the know, including every CIA director since 1963, have been aware of this troubling reality.

After the assassination, doubts emerged about the official story, leading to various conspiracy theories. The single bullet theory from the Warren Commission report is a key piece of evidence. It suggests that a bullet from the 6th floor of the building entered Kennedy's back, exited his neck, hit Connally in the armpit, broke his ribs, went into his wrist, and then into his thigh. However, the Zapruder film, which was released later, shows that Connally turned to his right before getting hit, indicating that the bullet that went through Kennedy couldn't have hit Connally. Connally himself maintained this until his death, suggesting another shooter and a conspiracy.

Speaker 0 introduces the topic of Israel allegedly having influence over the US government and mentions that Israel assassinated JFK, pointing to William Cooper as the source who was also assassinated by Israel. Speaker 0 references Cooper’s book Behold a Pale Horse and notes that Cooper was the first to obtain original footage from a CIA whistleblower showing who shot Kennedy and how they shot Kennedy. He says the media’s clips started at a cropped frame, and that Cooper’s release prompted further questions. Speaker 1 explains that the assassin was the driver in the car with Kennedy, visible in a film with public help. He brings the film, saying it shows the motorcade on Elm Street in front of the Book Depository Building, Kennedy having been shot in the throat, Jacqueline pulling Kennedy toward him in shock, and the driver turning around with a pistol in his left hand, firing over his right shoulder and shooting the president in the head. Speaker 2 asks for a repeat and then the duo watches the film. Speaker 1 identifies the driver as William Greer, noting he was a secret service agent. He describes the weapon as an electrically operated gas-powered assassination pistol built especially for the Central Intelligence Agency, asserting there is no puff of smoke. Speaker 2 questions whether the weapon is indeed a pistol in the lower right corner of the frame. Speaker 1 confirms it is an air-operated pistol (pneumatic) and claims it fired an exploding pellet that injected shellfish toxin into the president’s brain, so that if the pellet’s explosion did not kill him, the toxin would. He states that he read all of this in the documents. Speaker 0 asks what type of weapon was used to assassinate JFK and references the 1963 time frame, saying that intelligence agencies would have such weapons. He then questions whether intelligence agencies could have used such weapons to assassinate Charlie Kirk. He suggests listening to Jack Posobiec and others who are “carrying water for this administration,” implying time will tell.

Lyndon Johnson became president after Kennedy's 1 PM death. Some claim supporters of Israel's nuclear weapons program were involved in JFK's assassination. Robert Kennedy was shot in 1968 after winning the California primaries, potentially paving the way for Richard Nixon's presidency. Both Kennedy assassinations are often treated as unconnected tragedies, but the speaker argues they are linked and will solve them beyond a reasonable doubt. John trusted Robert unequivocally, making him his attorney general and closest advisor. Robert encouraged John to endorse black civil rights. Robert ran for president in 1968 to continue his brother's legacy. Robert doubted the Warren Commission's conclusion about JFK's assassination and started his own investigation, including sending a message to Nikita Khrushchev suggesting a right-wing conspiracy. Jim Garrison believed the fatal shot came from the front, not from where Oswald was positioned. Ballistic evidence suggests Sirhan Sirhan's bullets didn't hit Robert Kennedy, and multiple witnesses reported a second shooter. Some claim Sirhan was in a trance and may have been hypnotically programmed. The speaker questions why Israel would kill Robert Kennedy if he was pro-Israel, suggesting his pro-Israel statements were merely campaign rhetoric. The Kennedy family wasn't known to be particularly fond of Jews. The speaker claims a Zionist cabal was involved in JFK's assassination, motivated by Kennedy's opposition to Israel's nuclear program. Lyndon Johnson is implicated, with claims he was secretly loyal to Israel. The speaker concludes that both Kennedy assassinations share common elements: Johnson and Israel. John Kennedy Jr. died in a plane crash, which some believe was not an accident, preventing him from potentially reaching the presidency.

The theory that Oswald was a pro-Castro communist and that Kennedy's assassination was a CIA false flag to blame Cuba is flawed. Evidence suggests a conspiracy involving Johnson and the CIA, with James Angleton as a key figure. Oswald's assassin, Jack Ruby, had ties to organized crime and claimed he killed Oswald "for the Jews." The Dallas Citizens Council, influential Jewish businessmen, played a role in the assassination's context. Kennedy's push against Israel's nuclear ambitions and support for Palestinian rights angered Israeli leaders. After Kennedy's assassination, U.S. foreign policy shifted dramatically in favor of Israel, with increased military aid. The connection between Israel and the assassination remains largely unaddressed in discussions about the event.

The CIA was watching Oswald before the JFK assassination. A man connected to the CIA, Gary Underhill, claimed a small CIA group was responsible and was later found unalived. The FBI received an anonymous tip prior to Oswald's death warning that he would be unalived by the same group that unalived JFK, yet no extra security was provided. A CIA memo indicates that Jack Ruby and Lee Harvey Oswald met at a nightclub weeks before JFK's assassination. New reports surfaced that Ruby said he had to unalive Oswald due to a bigger picture and concerns for his family's safety. The KGB deputy director stated Oswald was never a KGB agent. The Soviets feared the assassination would be used by the U.S. to start World War III. Documents revealed the CIA had 34 secret bases worldwide. The FBI ordered surveillance on Oswald's family, fearing his wife might question the official story.

From the outset, one of the speakers says there was a sense that the official narrative about the day didn’t add up, expressing that many Americans feel they were being lied to. The major problem they identify with the assassination narrative includes inconsistencies and unanswered questions rather than acceptance of the official story. Speaker 1 recalls being told Charlie Kirk was shot and initially in critical condition, but notes that the video shows an exit wound and movement of Kirk’s shirt that suggests an impact nearby. With extensive experience around gunshot wounds, they say what they saw didn’t make sense. They reference the FBI’s announcement of a shooter and describe a separate incident involving a person on the roof who allegedly disassembled and reassembled a firearm, aligned a scope, fired a cold bore shot, moved to the roof, and then wrapped the rifle up. They mention texts from the shooter that didn’t sound like a typical 22-year-old and state that these observations raise questions. They say asking questions leads to being torn down or accused of holding conspiracy views, and they specify they aren’t claiming “Israel did it,” but insisting the questions about the event “don’t look good.” They raise specific questions: did the security team remove Charlie Kirk’s lapel mic after the incident and give it to someone else; what happened to the SIM card; did someone take the camera behind him; why was the crime scene contaminated and rebuilt. They admit they don’t know what is true but insist the questions deserve answers. They note that once they question, they’re labeled antisemitic, and they say they didn’t even bring up Israel. They emphasize the personal and national significance of the incident. Speaker 0 mentions a claim that Charlie Kirk was portrayed as Superman, with his body supposedly stopping the 30-odd-six bullet, and asks what would have happened if a 30-06 round hit him. Speaker 1 says it would likely blow his head off and leave remnants of the bullet, arguing that they don’t think such remnants have been found yet. They question why the chair and desk were moved and contend that a forensic expert could determine the shot’s origin, insisting they are simply asking questions. If those questions can be refuted, they would stop asking; but they claim they’re not getting any answers beyond “this is what happened” and being told to “shut up.” Speaker 0 adds that telling someone to be quiet amounts to labeling them antisemitic, and that when the trial comes, they will look like a fool. Speaker 1 says that’s a tactic of the left—when you call them out, they label you a name—and that the right is now doing the same to them.

CIA counterintelligence was responsible for Kennedy's assassination, according to newly reviewed documents. CIA counterintelligence officers targeted Oswald for recruitment as an agent in 1959, surveilling him for four years, then lied about it to investigators. The documents reveal deep CIA involvement with Oswald before the assassination and subsequent deception. Oswald was never regarded as a security threat, despite actions that should have raised alarms. James Angleton had two FBI reports on Oswald on his desk in mid-November, confirmed in the latest JFK releases. Whether or not Oswald was a shooter, he was not the intellectual author of Kennedy's death. The focus should be on the actions of CIA counterintelligence. Fifteen specific JFK documents, known to exist and easily retrieved, have never been seen in their entirety by the public, violating the JFK Records Act.

There is active pressure on elected officials to stop the disclosure of information, specifically regarding the JFK assassination. The source of this pressure is unknown, but it is not believed to be the CIA or John Ratcliffe. The question is, who is powerful enough to scare people into slow-walking disclosure, which is the same as preventing it? The purpose of this slow-walking is to continue hiding facts. What force is acting on the US government and the new administration to prevent disclosure? It is a fair question because the president of the United States was murdered, which overturned the vote of the people. It is important to get to the bottom of the JFK assassination.

Secrecy is repugnant in a free society. The assassination of President Kennedy occurred at 1 PM CST. We must overcome societal divisions – racial, economic, etc. – and work together. The assassinations of both Kennedy brothers are acknowledged. The dangers of excessive concealment outweigh the justifications for it. We must not let the need for security be used to expand censorship. The CIA’s purpose was creating constant wars for the military-industrial complex. Many Americans distrust the Warren Commission report. We must protect our freedoms; they are coming after us. No official should use my words as an excuse to censor, stifle dissent, or withhold facts. Some media push personal agendas, threatening our democracy. We seek a true peace, not one enforced by American weapons; we all share this planet and our children’s future.

Eugenio, author of *JFK Revisited*, and David Montague, an academic with a background in investigations related to the assassination. Both guests share their insights and experiences regarding the event and its implications. Eugenio discusses his long-standing interest in the JFK case, which began after reading Jim Garrison's interview, leading him to write several books and establish organizations focused on the truth about political assassinations. Montague, who was involved with the JFK Assassination Records Review Board, emphasizes the importance of releasing classified documents related to the assassination, noting that delays in declassification have persisted for decades, with the latest expected release date set for December 15, 2022. The conversation touches on various conspiracy theories surrounding the assassination, including the involvement of the mob, political figures, and the military-industrial complex. Both Eugenio and Montague express skepticism about the official narrative that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, suggesting that a conspiracy was likely involved. They highlight the significance of the assassination in shaping public trust in government, which has dramatically declined since 1964. Guests from Belarus, Ernest Tiovets and Paul Gregory, share their personal experiences with Oswald, describing him as a complex individual who was not inherently violent. Tiovets recounts his friendship with Oswald in the Soviet Union, while Gregory reflects on Oswald's life in the U.S. and his ambitions. They both agree that Oswald's character and motivations are often misunderstood. The discussion also delves into the broader implications of the assassination on American society and politics, with a focus on the erosion of trust in government institutions.

JFK EXPERT: CIA Plot FURTHER EXPOSED In New Files
reSee.it Podcast Summary
A recent release from the JFK archive revealed significant documents, prompting insights from journalist Jefferson Morley. He emphasizes the importance of identifying fact patterns rather than seeking a "smoking gun." Key documents include a memo from Arthur Schlesinger to President Kennedy, revealing Kennedy's frustration with the CIA post-Bay of Pigs and his desire to reorganize the agency, which he ultimately did not pursue. Additionally, nine documents about James Angleton show that Lee Harvey Oswald was closely monitored by the CIA for four years, contradicting the narrative of him as a lone gunman. Morley argues that the lack of accountability following JFK's assassination allowed the CIA to dominate policy debates, fostering a culture of suspicion towards the government.

Joe Rogan Experience #1759 - Oliver Stone
Guests: Oliver Stone

Joe Rogan welcomes Oliver Stone to discuss his documentary on the JFK assassination, expressing his long-standing fascination with the topic. Stone emphasizes the importance of understanding historical events like JFK's assassination, which he views as a pivotal moment that has led to a decline in trust in the U.S. government. He argues that since JFK, no president has effectively challenged the military or intelligence agencies, which have grown increasingly powerful and paranoid. Stone reflects on JFK's attempts to pursue peace, particularly during the Cuban Missile Crisis, where he resisted calls for military action, a decision that alienated him from the military establishment. He believes JFK's desire for peace and his efforts to reduce military influence ultimately led to his assassination. Stone critiques the U.S. as a global bully, citing the inflated threats posed by countries like China, Russia, and Cuba, and discusses how the narrative of perpetual war has persisted since World War II. The conversation shifts to the case of Julian Assange, with Stone noting the hypocrisy of the U.S. government in prosecuting him while claiming moral superiority over other nations. Stone argues that the state often views dissidents as enemies, a sentiment echoed in the treatment of Assange. Rogan and Stone delve into the details of the assassination, discussing the numerous inconsistencies surrounding the evidence, including the infamous "magic bullet" theory. Stone highlights the lack of credible evidence linking Oswald to the crime and the questionable circumstances surrounding the autopsy and subsequent investigations. He mentions the involvement of various intelligence agencies and the potential for a conspiracy, suggesting that many people were aware of the manipulation of evidence. Stone recounts multiple assassination attempts on JFK prior to his death and discusses the role of figures like Jack Ruby, who killed Oswald, in the broader narrative of the assassination. He emphasizes the need for transparency and accountability in government actions, particularly regarding the intelligence community. The discussion also touches on the media's role in shaping public perception and the challenges faced by independent journalists in the current landscape. Stone expresses hope that more documents related to the assassination will be released, allowing for a clearer understanding of the events. In closing, Rogan praises Stone's documentary, "JFK Revisited," which he believes presents compelling evidence of a conspiracy and the need for a deeper examination of the historical narrative surrounding JFK's assassination. Stone encourages viewers to engage with the documentary to better understand the implications of these events on contemporary society.

Why People Think The Government Killed JFK
reSee.it Podcast Summary
The assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963 sparked a government cover-up, with the FBI and CIA withholding information from both the public and the Warren Commission. This secrecy fueled conspiracy theories, as many Americans doubted the official narrative that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. JFK's attempts to rein in military and intelligence operations created tensions, and after his assassination, Oswald was killed before a trial could clarify the facts. Subsequent investigations revealed that the Warren Commission had cherry-picked evidence and ignored contradictory testimonies. Despite the release of millions of documents, no definitive evidence of a conspiracy has emerged, leaving public distrust in the government.

The CIA, Men in Black and the Plot to Take Out JFK | The Maury Island Incident
reSee.it Podcast Summary
The episode recounts the Maury Island incident of 1947, a UFO sighting that reportedly left Harold Dah and his family traumatized and led to a cascade of deaths and mysterious events tied to those who investigated it. The hosts trace how the story expanded from a sighting of six donut-shaped crafts over Puget Sound to a web of intrigue involving military and civilian figures, journalists, and investigators who became entangled in later investigations about the JFK assassination. The narrative emphasizes the involvement of the FBI, CIA, and other intelligence actors, as well as figures like Fred Chrisman and Guy Bannister, linking the Maury Island case to broader Cold War era concerns over secrecy, security, and control of information. Throughout, the show peels back layers of testimony, declassified documents, and conflicting memories to examine how a single event could morph into a long-running conspiracy theory that spans multiple decades and geopolitical tensions, including calls for declassification of UFO files and debates about who knew what and when. The discussion also interweaves JFK-era politics, suggesting a clandestine network of insiders who opposed Kennedy’s stance on the CIA and disclosure of UFO information. It explores how individuals connected to intelligence, defense, and political operative circles might have used wartime and postwar paranoia to influence public narratives, investigations, and even the trajectories of prominent cases. By juxtaposing archival memos, witness testimony, and archival reporting with modern commentary, the episode highlights the enduring appeal and peril of conspiracy theories in shaping collective memory around national security, science, and historical truth.
