JFK & Conspiracy Theorists

On JFK and who killed him. Plenty of people tell me it's no biggie, and only conspiracy theorists would think otherwise. But I'm of the mind that if that were so, then why not release all the classified material on it. 

And right now, in the mediasphere, the likes of the right (Tucker Carlson) are the only ones saying as much (an odd right wing hatred for the services, which if true, means that we should use it to clip these services for real and not just use it as political capital like Trump did), apparently. And I have no love for the man, especially since he's against an immigrant like me, but that doesn't mean a broke clock isn't right twice a day (so just being against what he's for isn't the way, just as he had sense at the start of COVID). 

So with all the evidence I think it does point to a CIA/Deep state assassination that they are still scared about letting us know. The questions is, right or left, will it lead to actual reforms to make sure that power is never held by such types? Or will it just be a political ploy? Very important IMO. 

Well, damn then there's Parenti (chomps up Chomsky broad day and everything):

Edit: I asked the internet and got some decent answers. Some people claimed that there is never a conspiracy because the truth always comes out (jfc, are people that statist?). Then some linked proof that JFK was dovish af, and actually did want to pull out of Vietnam (this would mean that Oliver Stone et al were right... so the conspiracy theorists really were correct). 

Super interesting, to include that the intel agency, CIA, changed its reports to change policy:

The alternative would have been to withdraw the troops while acknowledging failure. And this, Newman argues, Kennedy was prepared to do if it became necessary. He saw no reason, however, to take this step before it became necessary. If the troops could be pulled while the South Vietnamese were still standing, so much the better.4 But from October 11 onward the CIA’s reporting changed drastically. Official optimism was replaced by a searching and comparatively realistic pessimism. Newman believes this pessimism, which involved rewriting assessments as far back as the previous July, was a response to NSAM 263. It represented an effort by the CIA to undermine the ostensible rationale of withdrawal with success, and therefore to obstruct implementation of the plan for withdrawal. Kennedy, needless to say, did not share his full reasoning with the CIA.

IOW, this kinda shit has always been going on. Crazy. Also most people who mention that it's not a conspiracy also mention that information about the assassination that are classified are not being released because reasons. Really seems like an easy thing to clear up, if you ask me.
