Why did "they" killed John F. Kennedy?
What were the "minor motives" and MAIN motive?
( Revised: Nov. 2023 )

President Kennedy reportedly said he wanted to "splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it into the winds.". This comment and the forced resignation of Allen Dulles (CIA director), Gen Charles P. Cabell  (CIA deputy director and brother of the major of Dallas), and possibly others that I am not aware of, and the forced reassignment and demotion of William King Harvey (CIA commander of ZR/RIFLE) gave these CIA "big shots" motive for wanting to eliminate Kennedy. But these were not the only motives.

The "American Mafia" also had motives for wanting Kennedy eliminated. Under orders from JFK and RFK, Carlos Marcello, (New Orleans crime family) was deported to Guatemala. But Marcello returned to New Orleans. Then they took him back to Guatemala and dropped him from a C-130 military cargo plane, over the jungle. However, once again he return to New Orleans (with a few scars).

Kennedy wanted to eliminate or modify the "Federal Reserve". That gave motive to some Wall street bankers and/or members of the "Suite 8F Group" and/or some member of Skull & Bones who had gone into the banking (money lending) system.

The anti-Castro, anti-Communism, pro right-wing, pro-segregation feelings were also used as motivators.

However, the main motive for the assassination was GREED.

Yes, the Military-industrial complex  ( including some oil corporations and chemical companies that can be considered part of the complex) and "Suit 8F Group" wanted a war. And it was becoming very difficult to "drag" Kennedy into a war. They tried in Berlin, then they tried twice in Cuba (Bay of Pigs invasion and the Cuban Missile Crisis), then they tried to convinced Kennedy to escalate the Vietnam war. But Kennedy wanted to "limit" the war. So some CIA guys, some Generals, and businessmen convinced LBJ that it was for the good of the country that Kennedy had to be eliminated, making him President, and then he could continue to build up the military, and escalate the Vietnam war. Or may be it was LBJ's idea all along.

Like they say in crime solving "follow the money".

The long (10 years) Vietnam war, halfway around the world. With lots of materials being shipped so far away (a lot of fuel to transport all that material). With some of the containers coming back with drugs in them. Was very profitable to the military industrial complex (and the mafia). Texans made hundreds of billions of dollars in military contracts because of the Vietnam war.

Hey, what a coincidence, we were in another never-ending war in Afghanistan (& Iraq), started by another president from Texas (Bush Jr.), that seems very profitable to the military industrial complex, the oil companies and the mafia. The Afghans are the world's biggest producer of opium (& heroin), what a coincidence. I bed some of the containers, used to supply our troops there, were coming back with some heroin and/or marijuana in then. And I wonder were some of those pallet, full of $100 bills, that are loaded in military cargo planes (headed for Afghanistan), end up?

Don't get me wrong, I am not anti-military, I served in the military, during a war, just like Kennedy did. But just like Kennedy and IKE, I believe in restrain, control. And not allowing wars to go on and on for years, without end, just so that a few greedy billionaires become richer. Those who waste trillions of dollars in useless wars are the real traitors to this country.

All those who participated in the assassination and cover-up of President John F. Kennedy (a war veteran, and dedicated public servant) are traitors to this country, they didn't just break the law, they metaphorically pissed on the flag and the constitution.

We are a civilized constitutional democracy, with good ethical and moral values. If a President does something wrong (Like Nixon did, and like Trump tried), it's up to Congress to remove him from office, or allow him to resign. We don't assassinate him.

When it comes to military strategy, Kennedy was correct and ahead of his time. He believed that the Special Forces (Green Berets and Navy Seals) would play a very important role in future conflicts. In fact, it was JFK that officially started the Navy Seals, and he stated, that we could send small numbers of these special forces, to help allies from other countries, instead of sending large number of regular troops. Large number of regular military forces can give the impression, to parts of the population, that we are militarily occupying that country, instead of helping an allied solve an internal conflict.

When Kennedy convinced Nikita Khrushchev to remove the nuclear missiles from Cuba, without starting a war with the Soviet Union, he proved that some conflicts can be resolved without a war. Something that military hawks, like General Curtis Lee May (bombs away Lee May)  did not like.

What general Lee May and the CIA did NOT know at the time of the Cuban missile crisis, was that the Russians did already have some nuclear war heads in Cuba, and some short range nuclear missiles. Bombing the silos in Pinar del Rio, might have started a nuclear war. And in a nuclear war, nobody wins.
