 CIA killed JFK.

I didn’t realize that JFK was killed right after he signed an order to pull troops out of Vietnam, and then LBJ rescinded the order as soon as he became President.

 If true, it shows that the 3-letter agencies / deep state are in charge, and democracy is essentially an illusion. Very concerning.

 If you read the book “The Devils Chessboard” you will have little doubt ex-CIA chief Allen Dulles was behind the whole thing.

 Don't forget about the time the FBI sent MLK Jr. a letter telling him to kill himself and recordings of him having an affair. Oh and proposed Operation Northwood that JFK nixed.
