A short post for the conspiracy naysayers.

273. Good point-I tend to forget about Johnson because he seems too obvious a benficiary to mention,

even though it's known that he hated Kennedy. You are right that we'd need more evidence of his direct involvement, but I wouldn't be surprised either.

Re "Kennedy had lots of enemies. There were a lot of people in the "dark establishment", if you will, that saw Kennedy as a real threat."

They saw Kennedy as a threat for a very good reason: He was an existential threat to the "dark establishment" and they knew it. At the height of the Cold War, JFK was involved in a secret correspondence with Khrushchev that would have ended the Cold War 25 years early, started nuclear disarmament negotiations and put the War Machine out of business.

This has recently been confirmed in an excellent article by his nephew, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. It originally appeared in this month's issue of Rolling Stone and reprinted by Reader Supported News.

It's called "John F. Kennedy's Vision of Peace." Please read it if you haven't already. It's quite long but very much worth the time invested, especially considering the high credibility of the source. In fact, I'm surprised someone hasn't turned it into an OP already. Maybe someone did but somehow I missed it.
