A 23-year-old Ray McGovern, fresh in the CIA, a believer in John F. Kennedy, sat for a lecture from a senior operations officer at the agency. And was shocked by the rant he heard: “This president is a coward! He failed to back us up on the Bay of Pigs! He’s so cowardly, this is an awful, awful thing!” That was the summer of 1963. Three months later John Kennedy was assassinated.
McGovern, who worked in the CIA for 27 years and has spent an equal number of years critiquing it, lays out step by step the factors that led to what he suspects is the agency’s role in the assassination of a president.
First, he explains, was that “Kennedy threatened to splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and throw it to the four winds. Now, what President Kennedy didn’t realize is you don’t say those kinds of things. You don’t threaten to do those kinds of things.”
Already in dangerous territory, Kennedy also went rogue on the CIA’s war: “Not only had John Kennedy already made two executive orders to pull our troops out of Vietnam, but in June 1963 he gave an incredible speech saying ‘Why can’t we just get along with the Russians?’”
The result? “He was killed. Very simply. He was assassinated and it was a warning to all other presidents who might want to threaten the CIA.”
McGovern, who since leaving the CIA founded the anti-war group Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity, is calling for the CIA to be disbanded. “It should be splintered. It serves no useful purpose. Somebody should set up an apolitical, agenda-free institute to do substantial, substantive, and untainted intelligence.” He adds, slyly: “And then if you want to do operations like blowing up pipelines, you put that in the Pentagon.”
Watch the full interview to hear Ray McGovern dissect the CIA’s proxy war in Ukraine, the Biden administration’s hoax of Russian disinformation, and the shocking private Trump quote that made him ask: “Who the hell is running this country?”

"First we overlook evil, Then we permit evil. Then we legalize evil. Then we promote evil. Then we celebrate evil. Then we persecute those who still call it evil."

JFK's assassination changed the direction this country was heading. We are much worse for it. 58,000 Americans and countless more Vietnamese died as a result of it. The nation changed it's attitude from a nation of can-do people to a nation of citizens who do not trust their government. It was a major turning point for the United States of America. We feel the results of it, still. He wasn't a perfect man, but he made us proud to be Americans. Now, we're embarrassed. I was eleven the day he was shot. I was in sixth grade and remember it like it was yesterday.

Those of us who remember the Kennedy assassination are finally getting confirmation of what we suspected all along. He was a visionary humanitarian leader. The world was changed that horrible day. BTW…my best friend was killed in Vietnam. He was 19 and left a young wife and a 6 month old son.

Can you imagine what US’s history might have been if JFK had lived?

It's called psychopathy. This is why you do not allow rich people nor any small group of people making decisions for the rest.

Whenever the public is being called "conspiracy theorists" it means they are getting close to the truth.

I remember JFK was murdered like it was yesterday . My school was dismissed as soon as word came we were all crying and scared . It was showed on television over and over. We watched his funeral we didnt go back to school till after his funeral. It was a very sad time for our country i remember like it was yesterday .

I was 5 years old when it happened and we all knew what was going on , so simple a child could easily understand it . But when the whole country acted like the lie was the truth it shook me hard , since then I knew the entire world was a lie and boy was I right .

Painful to get confirmation 60 years later, for what many of us suspected or knew all along but were shamed as unpatriotic to think it. How different would our world be today if Kennedy had stopped Vietnam before it shredded so many lives. RIP America

Maya's mom here: We, the 98 percent majority of Americans want peace or our world! And honesty in our government! I cried like a child after this revelation about JFK's assassination being so true, oh my country...my country!?! Are we so lost?... look at us now! Sold to the highest bidder? LOST..SAD!

One of the biggest mistakes of the modern era is to call people we elect into office "leaders." They are "representatives." There used to be national referendums for important issues. Where did they go?

Karamela calling other people stupid is the definition of hypocrisy!

As an Irish citizen I never bought the Warren commission from day one , now 60 years later I still don't buy it & boy I'm so glad you're hat I never wavered . Since 1963 one piece of information after another has come into public domain I lost all respect for American policts it's such a shame . God help us all .

No way in Hell it wasn't pre-approved, encouraged, and applauded by LBJ & J.Edgar Hoover.

Here's the main key to the JFK killing. You'll need to Google map this to understand it. The original motorcade route was supposed to remain on Main St through downtown Dallas. At the last minute, someone leading the motorcade decided to turn right on N Houston St, then make a hard (slow) left turn onto Elm St. This put the motorcade directly in front of the book depository and the grassy knoll. Since the original route was published in all the newspapers, all the people were lined up on the Main St. side at Dealy Plaza. That's why you see people running across the grass over to Elm St in the films. Oswald would not have known about the route change. Abraham Zapruder certainly didn't know. He just wanted to get on higher ground to film the motorcade as he thought it would continue on Main St. The secret service apparently didn't know and one or more SS agents were pulled away from their assigned positions along Kennedy's limo. It's important to understand from the standpoint of a shooter that the closer your target is the greater accuracy you will achieve, and the less likely there will be collateral damage. Had the route not changed at the last minute, we wouldn't be talking about this. Do the math. Measure the difference in distance between the two routes from anywhere that a shot might have come from. Consider the obstructions like trees and people and the speed that the limos would be moving on either route. Really study it. There's only one logical conclusion. And also dig deeper into the CIA's modus operandi. They were good at carrying out assassinations, manipulating people, setting up "patsies" and unseating foreign leaders that didn't bow down to the USA.

All politics aside, you have to love this guy. He is a natural storyteller who appears to love what he is doing, informing us in an entertaining fashion. I could listen to this guy all day long and just may. Great stuff.

Sincere sympathies to Glen Greenwald and family
-
It’s common knowledge among researchers that JFK ordered the removal of military in Vietnam. It been cited in Newman’s book “JFK and Vietnam” I pray RFK Jr has a better security team than his uncle and father. 🙏🏻

Gun “control” starts with intact family structures with a mother and father under the same roof.

It's nice to see an elected official validating the manner in which I participate in all video meetings including zoom.
