CIA killed JFK theory
The CIA-killed-JFK theory centers on Kennedy's documented conflicts with the Agency: his refusal to provide air cover at the Bay of Pigs invasion in April 1961, his firing of CIA director Allen Dulles, his stated intention to 'splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces', and his moves toward detente with Cuba and withdrawal from Vietnam (NSAM 263).
Key evidence cited includes the presence of CIA-connected figures in Dallas that day (E Howard Hunt, David Atlee Phillips, David Sanchez Morales), Lee Harvey Oswald's pre-assassination activities in Mexico City monitored by the CIA station, and the agency's repeated stonewalling of the House Select Committee on Assassinations.
The 1979 HSCA concluded Kennedy was 'probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy' but could not identify other participants. Trump-era and Biden-era JFK record releases have continued to drip new documents through 2023.
