JFK was trying to force AIPAC (the American Israel Political Affairs Committee) to register as a foreign agent.
The Israel Lobby is believed by many to be the most powerful lobby in Washington DC.
AIPAC, formerly known in the 50's as the American Zionist Council, is considered the biggest part of the Israel Lobby.
If he was successful at forcing AIPAC to register as a foreign agent it would have seriously diminished their ability to influence the U.S. government.

I describe myself a JFK Democrat. Present day that means I am a neo nazi.

I don't know why the downvotes. Killing Kennedy cleared the way to escalate Vietnam, start the welfare state, open the borders, switch US coins from silver to worthless copper, get off the gold standard, defund the space program, begin enacting gun control, etc. How is that NOT a war that we lost?

beg to differ, was in a fantasy he wouldn’t live to regret. man had been to war. older brother was probably assainated and his drunken lecherous father would have known plenty about the mafia and national security services. chauffeured car took a wrong turn, at that moment alarms should have gone off in his head, not a .30 projectile. less aware time, but come on bud, that was a failure to integrate intel, it was some sloppy stupid intel bungling. Caesars can and do fuq up tho.

He cared so much about white America, that he was fixated on pussy 24/7.

His priority was getting pussy. Not America.
[–] madhatter67 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
Maybe he was....but that's not what got him killed....hinting at fucking over both the CIA and fed reserve almost certainly did
[–] tokui 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
I'm sayin, he was no martyr.
[–] Anonymous171717 3 points -2 points 1 point (+1|-3) ago
So, pussy got him killed? Damn.
Now, THAT is a new conspiracy that I haven't heard. I like this one the most, though.
