creation of the U.S. House of Representatives Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA).

The CIA has been in the business of overturning governments. We will never know the extent to which rogue agents from any agency of this country or foreign countries may have been involved in the JFK assignation. The Warren Commission sufficiently quashed a further investigation at the time. What we do know is that the physical evidence is inconsistent with the lone-gunman assertion, that our own governmental agencies did not look further, and that the MSM often denigrated those who asked at the time for a more through investigation as being conspiracy theorists. For more information about the CIA's connection with the MSM, Google Operation Mockingbird. They say that Operation Mockingbird has been discontinued.
