The CIA killed JFK

This position catalogues the theory that the CIA assassinated John F. Kennedy. It points to the agency's disagreements with the president, to gaps in the Warren Commission, and to oddities like the 'umbrella man' in the Zapruder film. It runs counter to the official finding.

  1. The umbrella man's timely appearance when JFK was shot in the Zapruder film
    A suspicious person appeared during the time when JFK was shot. He was seen in the Zapruder film with a black umbrella. Because he was the only person with an umbrella on a sunny day, near the road when JFK was shot, he could very well have been involved with the assassination plan.
  2. The CIA disagreed with JFK
    The CIA disagreed with Kennedy's politics prior to his assassination.
  3. Missing information from the Warren Commission
    The U.S. government excluded information from the Warren Commission report.
