JFK was all over the place, once saying that we should disarm in favor of the United Nations. Very, very philosophically immature.

JFK and his dad promised the Mafia that if he was elected he would get Havana back from the Castroites. He tried and failed. The military and CIA failed miserably. The he made a huge mistake, he told the Military that he was going to withdraw the “advisors” from Vietnam, as Bobby was announcing a crack down on the Mafia. The CIA and the Mafia held a meeting. The Capos got their revenge and the CIA got its war.

Nope, sorry, no cigar Johnny. It was the CIA's boss who got his revenge.

He was one, Allan Dulles. But so did Sam Giancana and his counter part in NYC. I don’t smoke anyway, but yes I get a cigar on this one. Also, LBJ got his war also. JFK was in everyone’s sights it seems.

Sam and his brother wrote a book together claiming that the Mafia was hired by the CIA to do the job. Another Mafia type from the time that worked for the capo in NYC is on You Tube giving details on the hit, including the second shooter was in a storm drain in front of the caravan and was responsible for the head shot no one can explain.

The You Tube guy is Gianna Russo and his boss that made the NYC deal with Joseph Kennedy was Frank Costello.

Another guy I have found is Mark Shaw which I will look at.

Jack Kennedy was as you say, that is, until his "come to Jesus moment" at American University. His statement that we are all mortal still sends shivers down my spine.
