Real reason for JFK assassination?

This is something I had never heard before, but if it's true, the whole thing makes a lot of sense. I thought RI readers might find it interesting and/or have some insights. From one of the comments in: <a href="http://www.alternet.org/story/23195/">www.alternet.org/story/23195/</a> <blockquote>Quote:<hr> In 1913 Congress passed The Federal Reserve Act which gave the right to create currency to the private bankers. They selected the operating name The Federal Reserve Corporation. Despite all the name implies, it is a private organization benefiting from interest charged to the Nation by lending their privately created Reserve Notes to the country. As the debt spirals skyward the revenue to the banks soars as well. In 1963 President Kennedy signed an executive order returning the banking operations to the country. $4 billion in "United States Notes" were printed to replace the private notes with a national currency. As article 1 of the Constitution states, Congress would regain the power to coin and regulate money and we would be a debt free nation. President Kennedy's assasination followed and the new currency was destroyed. The banks remained in the hands of the members of the Russell Trust Corporation. <hr></blockquote>

At this late date in history, forty-years after the crime, establishing a sole-source 'reason' for JFK's assassination is obviously a rigged-game. However, looking at those who were in positions to play active roles and analyzing their probably motivations, AND looking at 'who benefitted', provides the most likely reasons, which also have a great deal of overlapping consequences. Among them: 'Payback' for Kennedy's perceived betrayal of Bay of Pigs invasion, compromising military, organized crime, Cuban guerrilla and CIA assets; Kennedy threatened/promised to scale-back and reform the Intelligense agencies, as they were becoming too secretive, powerful and unaccountable before the law and Congress; Kennedy planned to pull military-advisers out of Vietnam and disconnect US policy from backing-up Frances' colonial interests, thus eliminating the potential for lucrative supply and weapons/military contracts for major corporations and the struggling Military-defense complex; The Kennedy dynasty challenged business-as-usual for the Mafia organizations; Western oil companies had a keen interest in exploring and developing Vietnam's land and offshore oil reserves -- thus, Kennedy's plan to extricate the US from Vietnam threatened these oil interests. (As Bitscape pointed-out), Kennedy apparently had plans to challenge the Federal Reserve ponzai scheme by transferring monetary authority to a branch of the Federal Government, operating monetary supply more equitably as a national resource -- thereby directly challenging the big Federal Reserve private international banking dynasties -- and confounding plans to make the US dollar a global trading currency, thereby subsiding cheap-imports and serving as the economic basis for subverting 3rd world nations -- creating a form of neocolonial indenture that was to be far more destructive in many ways than the Communism threat that legitimized the US's brutal foreign policy. I don't think any one reason by itself would have been sufficient motivation for those who planned, directed and then covered-up the crime (and benefitted from it) with all the tragic consequences that have since become apparant. The Kennedy assassination was a coup that had huge effects on shifting the balance of power in the US towards the military industry, with noteable impact on institutionalizing organized crime and increasing the political-economic power of corporations. The US reputedly killed or seriously injured/maimed and dispossesed some 6 million people in SE Asia, while poisoning and leaving mines in-place over huge swathes of territory (people are still being killed/maimed by mines on a weekly or at-least monthly basis even yet -- the US has also refused clean-up, demining costs or restitution for Vietnamese and Cambodian/Laotian people it has injured, including refusing the past and ongoing consequences of Agent Orange chemical warfare, a war-crime violation). Would the US have been 'better-off' if JFK hadn't been gunned-down by the corporate/banking/covert/crime/military interests who executed the master coup that November day in '63? I think it's likely, and a damn good case can be made for where the US began to take a severe, terrible turn toward abuse of power, unprecedented corruption, global hegemony and supporting right-wing military regimes as a result -- but we'll never really know, as America's future and legacy was stolen that day.

don't forget the normalization of relations with Cuba (his reps were meeting with Castro the day he was assassinated) and the windfall profits tax on the oil companies to stop huge excessive and debilitating (for Americans and the world) profit taking. That oil tax was one of the main reasons I believe they gunned him down: $$$$ Vietnam was about $$$ Cuba was about $$$ and the covert ops there in black market money from drugs, prostitution and gambling which Marcello and the deep traitorus spooks like Bush at the CIA were using to fund blackops and murder inc globally (they wanted and want this slush fund back) Now it is all kinda moot though: they got what they wanted after they engineered 9-11

500 billion or thereabouts was made by various companies in the Vietnam debacle; people have been murdered for a lot less. But the convergence of circumstances articulated by Starman guaranteed that Kennedy would be killed- he had come to "get" it, to understand "deep politics" and had the power, charisma, and popularity to disrupt the nefarious and corrupting plans of right-wing thugs who were determined to take over this country for the benefit of their own selfish, greedy, power mad ends- the same people who have now done just that. John Newman's Oswald and the CIA and JFK and Vietnam are invaluable sources that make use of official, classified documentation and make it abundantly clear what happened to a beloved President (despite his flaws) who could have changed the course of history.

You're correct, there were a myriad of overlaying interests better off with JFK dead. I agree with all listed, although Kennedy did more than threaten to reform the intelligence agencies: he fired Dulles. Who conveniently turns up on a "commission" investigating his death. Remember, this was when Texas, and the US, was THE leading oil exporter in the world. One thing, one motive , is missing: the oil depreciation allowance, which Kennedy vowed to end, infuriating Eisenhower's "Stupid....Texas oilmen", one of which just so happened to also be pissed over HIS failed Bay of Pigs fiasco. And perhaps his ties to the underworld, which RFK was raking over the coals. His ties? Through drug running of the CIA. You need "retail outlets" to move your stuff. Who better, more closed mouth, than the Mafia? Remember, this was when Texas, and the US, was THE leading oil exporter in the world. George Herbert Walker Bush.
