There were some sketchy circumstances leading up to JFK's assassination. A few questions include: Why was Lee Harvey Oswald allowed to return to the United States after defecting to the Soviet Union, with little to no questions asked? Why was Oswald's office located at the same place as the previous officials of the Central Intelligence Agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigation were in New Orleans? Why was the route of the Dallas parade changed at the very last minute?

The CIA
The CIA had been pretty corrupt around the time of JFK's assassination. For example, the CIA experimented on American citizens, without their consent or even knowledge, with dangerous mind-altering drugs. In addition, the CIA had a larger motive than Oswald did to kill JFK. The CIA considered Kennedy a national security threat of the U.S. because he had humiliated the CIA during the Bay of Pigs invasion by not delivering enough air support. Kennedy also was aware of the CIA's corruption and promised that he would "smash the CIA into a thousand pieces." Therefore, the CIA felt betrayed by Kennedy and thought that he needed to be destroyed.

The Secret Service
The U.S. Secret Service is a federal law enforcement agency and part of the U.S. Department of Homeland security. It has two main responsibilities. One involves treasury (counterfeit, treasury bonds, and fraud). The other is to protect and insure the safety of national figures, like the President, Vice President, and their families. They have been known to begin trolling places that the President goes months before his arrival. Therefore, it is very strange and suspicious that they were so careless during the parade through Dealey Plaza, in which JFK was assassinated.



(and the Warren Commission)
The investigation of the JFK assassination is even more troubling. The government jumped to the conclusion that Oswald was responsible for the murder and hastily ruled out all other possibilities. At least 50 witnesses strongly believed that at least one, or all, of the shots came from a "grassy knoll" near the parade. The government not only neglected to include these witnesses in their investigation, but also abused and threatened them to keep quiet about what they had seen. Another disturbing detail is that, even today, the government cannot and does not want to explain who the men at the grassy knoll who identified themselves as Secret Service agents were. The theory of the "magic bullet" also seems like a copout to investigating the idea of multiple gunman. It is impossible to answer these questions, however, until the government opens the files on the investigation, which, as of right now, it still refuses to do.
