CIA conspired to Kill JFK
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. [or RFK Jr.] is known as the nephew of the beloved fallen President John F. Kennedy. Like his late uncle, he too enjoys the nuances of politics like no other and is actively involved in the betterment of America. He too has put his hat in the ring to perhaps continue the legacy his dear uncle left behind. But, even after years have passed by there are still hundreds of theories and conspiracies about JFK’s assassination, RFK Jr. has one shocking theory about which organization could possibly be behind it.
As per a recent article by The New York Post, RFK Jr. claimed that perhaps the Central Intelligence Agency, well known as the CIA, was responsible for the death of the 35th President of the United States. He’d also appeared on Hannity, a series hosted by Fox News, which is where he made the claim in the first place. RFK Jr. was in a conversation with host Sean Hannity involving the tragic death of JFK in 1963. “There are millions of pages of documents—of, uh, CIA documents, uh, documents of, uh, the Cuban Embassy, in, in Mexico City, from..." he trailed off and further mentioned that it was all a little difficult to “summarize.”
He then continued to note that there was allegedly a "60-year" cover-up in the murder of the famous fallen President. “There are confessions of people who are directly involved in the plot [of John Kennedy’s death], who were involved in the plot, uh who were peripherals to this plot,” emphasizes the Democrat candidate. He further offers a detailed explanation of possibly how the whole ordeal was staged and the participants allegedly involved in it.
He also revealed a shocking personal revelation about the big wig involved. As per his belief, it was perhaps JFK’s successor, Lyndon Johnson, who was involved in the whole cover-up operation. A fact to note is that he was also assigned by the Warren Commission to investigate the said assassination.
It wasn’t just him though; he specifically named Allen Dulles, the former director of the CIA, and his brother, John Foster Dulles, who at the time was the secretary of state, for their alleged involvement in the aforementioned incident. When asked why he held such a belief that these two people were linked to his late uncle's murder, RFK Jr. curtly responded with another alarming truth. He believes that both of them had a personal vendetta against his late uncle because they were fired by him in the past.
RFK Jr. later adds that 10 years after the incident, Congress had decided to investigate the crime to determine who really killed JFK. Apparently, they came across some possibly strong evidence. “It was a conspiracy, [and] there were multiple people involved. In conclusion, RFK Jr. said that he wasn’t alone in his thoughts of the organization’s hand in this, but there were others. “Most of the people in that investigation believe that it was the CIA that was behind it because the evidence was overwhelming to them.”

Joe Kennedy III says assassinations of grandfather and granduncle resonate with Northern Ireland families
10/16/23
Joe Kennedy III said the assassinations of his grandfather and granduncle resonate with families who lost loved ones to violence on the island.
Mr Kennedy, who is the Special Envoy to Northern Ireland, said the assassinations of the Kennedy brothers resonate with families who lost loved ones during the Troubles. Mr Kennedy is the grandson of former US Attorney General Robert F Kennedy and the grandnephew of former US President John F Kennedy.
Speaking on the Best of Belfast podcast, he said: "President Kennedy's passing was well before I was born. I was born in 1980, so 17 years beforehand, and my grandfather, 12 years before.

"So there was some passage of time, and by the time you're old enough to understand what that is, you absorb more of it just from culture, mass media etc."
The Special Envoy said it took some time before he fully understood not just what happened, but how it impacted his family at a personal level. He said: "Without question, these are significant historical events. And they're written down as some of the seminal moments of American history in the 20th century and these pivot points, particularly politically."

"The part that often gets lost in that is the humanity. America lost a president. A young woman lost a husband and two little kids lost a dad. There's a very deeply personal impact, which plenty of other folks can sympathize with. They're not the only ones that have had to endure that tragedy.

Let's bring in Louisiana Republican Senator John Kennedy.
"My grandmother had, at that point, 10 children and was pregnant with the 11th. The impact of that multigenerational trauma is still a very real thing. When you're talking about the historic nature of these events, that's not the thing that [people] think about first. It's the event, not the personal ramifications."
He added: "I think it's also what continues to draw resonance [between] my family and Ireland-Northern Ireland, because tragically, we are not the only family that calls this island part of their past or present that has had a similar experience.
"There's an understanding of what that loss actually means on a personal level, and the work that needs to be done to try to... you can never move beyond it, but to move through it. And to make sure that successive generations aren't held back by it."
Kennedy said that the island of Ireland was "always there" in his consciousness from an early age due to his family's heritage and political involvement. He said he grew up hearing about issues on the island, specifically Northern Ireland as his grandaunt Jean Kennedy Smith served as President Bill Clinton's Ambassador to Ireland in the run-up to the signing of the Good Friday Agreement in 1998.

He said: "My role is quite simply to support the future economic development prosperities of the people's Northern Ireland. Politics at the moment in a lot of places are complicated, the US as much as anywhere else! So if you start out any of these roles by getting kind of defined by the politics, you can find allies, but you'll create adversaries.
"Whereas if you focus on the fundamentals of, do you want a good school for your kids, a job that keeps a roof over your head and food on your plate, a safe and secure retirement, clean air to breathe, clean water to drink, and a safe community? I don't care what your political persuasions are, the answer to those questions is yes.
"You can't put politics wholly aside, but you can start from a baseline level of achievement to say if that's what we're moving towards, there's pieces on this that all of us agree are going to need further investment, further development, further activity."
