New conspiracy in the death of JFK and it's not that crazy.

I’m not one to believe in conspiracy theories, but check this link out and read the article. It is a piece on a new documentary coming out called Rendezvous with Death that explores the possibility that JFK was killed by Lee Harvey Oswald. For some, that is big news. It goes on to say that Oswald was acting on the behalf of Cuba. Apparently Oswald was a bit of a Marxist and Cuba exploited his bitter feelings towards the country. Oswald met with some Cuban higher ups and was paid to assassinate the president. There was an investigation into Cuba’s involvement, but it was called off after a few days. The lead investigator now calls it, “the worst investigation the FBI was ever involved in.”

It goes on to say that while Cuba was behind it, it was unknown if Castro knew about it. Robert Kennedy ordered nine assassination attempts on Castro’s life so a Cuban attempt on JFK would not be so far fetched. It was said that Lyndon Johnson ordered the abrupt end to the investigation into Cuba’s involvement because he did not want to have to invade the island and something like this would seem to be heading that way. The U. S. and Russia had already gone through the Cuban missile crisis and Johnson did not want to put the country at risk of entering into a nuclear situation.

It is an interesting article and I would like to see the film, but this subject is one of the best for conspiracies. I do believe that this conspiracy sounds better than a second shooter on the grassy knoll. It would make sense that Cuba would want JFK dead because we had been trying to kill Castro for years. Did Castro get the last laugh?
