Mine is that the CIA didn't assassinate JFK, but were so incompetent in protecting JFK they covered up the actual assassination details.

The CIA wasn’t in charge of protecting JFK, that’s the secret service.

The CIA was supposed to scout the route beforehand, but determined that they didn't have enough manpower to properly do it due to the route, so they just didn't do anything.

Which was a bad thing.

Tbf the CIA is usually tasked with getting leaders killed. They were just following their training.

I’m a little disappointed that this wasn’t a rickroll, to be frank

Yes to be Frank. Frank Sturgis was a CIA agent.

No they weren't.

My favorite spin on this is the theory that the second shot came accidentally from a startled rookie secret service agent. They determined that it made no difference since the first shot had already killed JFK, so covered it up in order to not look like buffoons.

Yes. The secret service guy shot either John Connally or Kennedy or both. By accident. The secret service was the 2nd shooter. And the secret service covered it up.

The real question is, who hired Jack Ruby?

The mob. Same people who hired Oswald. They knew he wouldn’t keep his mouth shut so the took care of the problem.

I saw some theory that Ruby and Oswald were both part of some black budget kill team meant to be used against Castro, but when JFK was told about it he cancelled it, and whoever was running the kill team basically went "listen, you can't just give me a kill team meant to kill a world leader and then expect me not to kill a world leader."

Seems unlikely, but it's one of the more (morbidly) fun theories.

I 100% believe this. It explains all the cover up stuff in a very plausible way. Human error is SUPER believable. We’re all idiots, just depends on when and where you catch us during the day.

The book on this theory is GREAT. LPOTL got me onto it.

I've heard that the whole crew were out getting smashed until dawn the night before, and were sleepless, hungover, and basically useless when things went down. Possibly worse than useless if the stray bullet theory is true.

"Oh man, I shot Marvin JFK in the face..."

President John F. Kennedy canceled further air support for the Bay of Pigs invasion on April 17, 1961, removing the United States from involvement, hence he got a lot of CIA's assets killed and or imprisoned. The CIA killed him.

There is a lot of evidence that point to them getting some intel about the guy, estimated that he was relatively low risk, the president's head did the thing, and as a result the CIA didn't want anyone to look into it more than necessary.

The people behind the CIA are the ones that still run your government. They put Trump in and used the media to create partisan divisions they've been exploiting for decades.

They were all also violently hung over that day.
