Was There a Government Conspiracy to Kill JFK? | The JFK Assassination
🕑 Added 2024-06-03 07:00:05 +0000 UTCNovember 22, 1963. A day that lives in infamy in American history when a President was shot in Dallas, Texas. Though someone was arrested for the crime, many theorize that the man apprehended was not the actual perpetrator. Today, we dive back into the world of conspiracy theories as we tackle one of the most layered ones of all: the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
Sensitive topics: extremist conspiracies, anti-semitism, death, violence, mental illness

Sorry to hear that! I can’t imagine what you’re going through :(

I just rejoined the Task Force tonight. I missed this show a ton and really wanted to listen again. My favorite thing about this show was breaking down episodes to my wife you loved mysteries but wasn't really into podcasts. Sadly I lost her earlier this month and her memorial was tonight, after that I decided to rejoin and start listening again. This episode would've fascinated her.

This was awesome! I can’t wait to hear the task force’s therapy about Bobby Kennedy and the theory behind his death. Was it the mafia and Bobby and JFK’s dad’s ties with them, or was it racists who didn’t like that Bobby was close with MLK JR or the CIA again? A good book to read is “The Dark Side of Camelot” talks about the dirty secrets of the Kennedys!

LBJ would have been eligible for 2-4 year terms plus the 1 year remaining on JFKs terms… so he could have served 9 years as President.

It’s not that crazy to think the government would assassinate their own president. You gotta remember JFK was going against a lot of the norms and against a lot of the things the government was doing. He was making a lot of people in powerful positions very angry with how personal views and what he wanted to change in the country, including racial stuff and I believe lgbt stuff. Also I’m surprised nobody mentioned X-men days of future past during the magic bullet section do the podcast.

Yes! While Patreon syncs with Spotify automatically, you’ll need to copy the RSS feed url given to you in an email or your settings. Add that manually to Apple, Google, etc. and you should be set!

I'm surprised at how skeptical they are of the CIA conspiracy theory, considering they had already done an episode on MK ULTRA and had already heard of how rogue and unaccountable the CIA and its leadership was at this time in history. Also kinda wish they had mentioned more about how many enemies JFK actually had at the time, and the foiled prior attempts on JFK's life.

Zapruder asked that the original publication of the film be censored, specifically the frames showing the actual fatal headshot. But the full film was since become available.

Meethmen back at it again

my husband and I just went to Dealy Plaza for the first time about 3 weeks ago. he thinks the shooter was in a different building. it was... odd... there were X's sunken into the asphalt where the 3 shots hit.

It was also missing a frame or two.

Oh man. I'm glad that you all are back but there were so many details missed. Allen W. Dulles was fired from his role at the CIA by JFK and then he was appointed to the Warren Commission? Seriously?

Task force can finally leave the bunker. I think a few on level 42 didn't make it but not sure if that was aliens or the buff scientists got too rowdy. Jokes aside, glad you guys are back!
Shealynn Imler
So glad to be back in the field with yall!
Akizato
I really appreciate the pop back in to clarify extra info on Ruby- that's a good habit to have to clear up questions that come up during recording! Congrats on your return!

I worked at the JFK Presidential Library & Museum for a bit, and we had some strict rules on certain things we weren't allowed to talk about or answer questions about and one of them was anything to do with conspiracy. We had to shut down any questions immediately. The other big thing was Marilyn Monroe lol
Michael Miniere
Anyone see the 2007 movie "Shooter" with Mark Wahlberg. It basically shows how to frame someone for assassinating a president and try to cover it up via the government. Just food for thought
Robert White
Welcome back, y'all have been missed
Paul
We are so back!
Kyle Voltti
I've felt for a long time the conspiracy was not to kill JFK but to obfuscate how easy it was for one nutjob to do it by themselves.
Andrey Chichagov
Wild thing i saw, but never could confirm was that the memorial was created and closed in the depository because the angle to shoot out the window would need the person to hang upside down

So happy to have a lot of my podcasts back!!! I’ll continue to support you guys. Thank you for making my long drive to work and to home spooky 👻 ❤️
Mary M
Yes!!!! Glad to have my Mondays back on track!

An oversight in fact checking in the episode: The Zapruder film was NOT the only film of the event. It was the clearest and most complete film of the shooting, which is why it was the most cited record.
Simon Miller
So juicy. One (me) could also add jfks proposal for a joint US-Soviet space mission as a possible motive for an anticommunist CIA
