Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made accusations that the Central Intelligence Agency murdered his uncle, John F. Kennedy, during an interview with WABC 770 AM’s “Cats Roundtable.”
“There is overwhelming evidence that the CIA was involved in his murder. I think it’s beyond a reasonable doubt at this point,” RFK Jr. exclaimed.
“The evidence is overwhelming that the CIA was involved in the murder—and in the cover-up.”
JFK was aboard a motorcade in Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963, when he was shot and killed by Lee Harvey Oswald in broad daylight.
Despite no evidence of a possible conspiracy, people demand an explanation for his death and have linked various entities who might be interested in killing the president.
In an appearance on a podcast, “All In,” RFK Jr. raised his speculation again, highlighting the CIA’s involvement in orchestrating the murder of his uncle.
“They were definitely involved in the murder and the 60-year cover-up. They’re still not releasing the papers that [legally] they have to release,” he argued.
“For anybody who has doubts about that, I would recommend a book by Jim Douglass called “JFK and the Unspeakable.” Because I think he’s done a better job than anybody else at kind of assembling and distilling all of the millions and millions of documents that have been released over the past 50 years. And these revelations are released incrementally, and so nobody really takes notice of them. But when you put them all together, the story is very clear.”
RFK also quipped that one major factor in the murder of his uncle was his apprehension to go to war:
“When my uncle was president, he was surrounded by a military-industrial complex and intelligence apparatus that was constantly trying to get him to go to war in Laos, Viet Nam, etcetera. He refused.
He said that the job of the American president is to keep the nation out of the war. He refused to send combat troops.”
RFK also added that Douglass’ book “distilled millions of documents of evidence, including confessions and people who were involved in the crime, and the six-year cover-up is the best kind of distillation.”
In 2010, Simon Schuster published “JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters.”
Schuster wrote: “At the height of the Cold War, JFK risked committing the greatest crime in human history: starting a nuclear war. Horrified by the specter of nuclear annihilation, Kennedy gradually turned away from his long-held Cold Warrior beliefs and toward a policy of lasting peace. But to the military and intelligence agencies in the United States, who were committed to winning the Cold War at any cost, Kennedy’s change of heart was a direct threat to their power and influence. Once these dark “Unspeakable” forces recognized that Kennedy’s interests were in direct opposition to their own, they tagged him as a dangerous traitor, plotted his assassination, and orchestrated the subsequent cover-up.”
