A 23-year-old Ray McGovern, fresh in the CIA, a believer in John F. Kennedy, sat for a lecture from a senior operations officer at the agency. And was shocked by the rant he heard: “This president is a coward! He failed to back us up on the Bay of Pigs! He’s so cowardly, this is an awful, awful thing!” That was the summer of 1963. Three months later John Kennedy was assassinated.
McGovern, who worked in the CIA for 27 years and has spent an equal number of years critiquing it, lays out step by step the factors that led to what he suspects is the agency’s role in the assassination of a president.
First, he explains, was that “Kennedy threatened to splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and throw it to the four winds. Now, what President Kennedy didn’t realize is you don’t say those kinds of things. You don’t threaten to do those kinds of things.”
Already in dangerous territory, Kennedy also went rogue on the CIA’s war: “Not only had John Kennedy already made two executive orders to pull our troops out of Vietnam, but in June 1963 he gave an incredible speech saying ‘Why can’t we just get along with the Russians?’”
The result? “He was killed. Very simply. He was assassinated and it was a warning to all other presidents who might want to threaten the CIA.”
McGovern, who since leaving the CIA founded the anti-war group Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity, is calling for the CIA to be disbanded. “It should be splintered. It serves no useful purpose. Somebody should set up an apolitical, agenda-free institute to do substantial, substantive, and untainted intelligence.” He adds, slyly: “And then if you want to do operations like blowing up pipelines, you put that in the Pentagon.”
Watch the full interview to hear Ray McGovern dissect the CIA’s proxy war in Ukraine, the Biden administration’s hoax of Russian disinformation, and the shocking private Trump quote that made him ask: “Who the hell is running this country?”

JFK's assassination changed the direction this country was heading. We are much worse for it. 58,000 Americans and countless more Vietnamese died as a result of it. The nation changed it's attitude from a nation of can-do people to a nation of citizens who do not trust their government. It was a major turning point for the United States of America. We feel the results of it, still. He wasn't a perfect man, but he made us proud to be Americans. Now, we're embarrassed. I was eleven the day he was shot. I was in sixth grade and remember it like it was yesterday.

"First we overlook evil, Then we permit evil. Then we legalize evil. Then we promote evil. Then we celebrate evil. Then we persecute those who still call it evil."

Those of us who remember the Kennedy assassination are finally getting confirmation of what we suspected all along. He was a visionary humanitarian leader. The world was changed that horrible day. BTW…my best friend was killed in Vietnam. He was 19 and left a young wife and a 6 month old son.

Can you imagine what US’s history might have been if JFK had lived?
-
Whenever the public is being called "conspiracy theorists" it means they are getting close to the truth.
-
Painful to get confirmation 60 years later, for what many of us suspected or knew all along but were shamed as unpatriotic to think it. How different would our world be today if Kennedy had stopped Vietnam before it shredded so many lives. RIP America

I remember JFK was murdered like it was yesterday . My school was dismissed as soon as word came we were all crying and scared . It was showed on television over and over. We watched his funeral we didnt go back to school till after his funeral. It was a very sad time for our country i remember like it was yesterday .

The first man I seen killed at Bao Loc, South Vietnam was an ARVAN South Vietnamese officer. When he got hit, immediately I thought the kill shot on President John F Kennedy was from his right front, from the grassy knoll! If you do a forensics on that shot. He was turning to his right and was struck high on his right temple. The exit wound was at the base of the skull behind him. The reason I say that is, Jackie crawled out onto the trunk lid, to grab part of Jack’s brain which landed on that long trunk lid. Another problem for the CIA (assassination bureau) is, the fought was changed just days before it happened, and Oswald was hired months before. A total Democrat ran operation, since they held Congress and ran the Warren commission. Then, the Democrats said, we couldn’t know what happened sealing the report for fifty years. We had a Democrat President when the fifty years was up, who didn’t open it, that I’m aware of. Too many fingers pointing to the DNC being in on the assassination of one of their own!

It's called psychopathy. This is why you do not allow rich people nor any small group of people making decisions for the rest.

Maya's mom here: We, the 98 percent majority of Americans want peace or our world! And honesty in our government! I cried like a child after this revelation about JFK's assassination being so true, oh my country...my country!?! Are we so lost?... look at us now! Sold to the highest bidder? LOST..SAD!

Karamela calling other people stupid is the definition of hypocrisy!
-
I was 5 years old when it happened and we all knew what was going on , so simple a child could easily understand it . But when the whole country acted like the lie was the truth it shook me hard , since then I knew the entire world was a lie and boy was I right .

As an Irish citizen I never bought the Warren commission from day one , now 60 years later I still don't buy it & boy I'm so glad you're hat I never wavered . Since 1963 one piece of information after another has come into public domain I lost all respect for American policts it's such a shame . God help us all .

No way in Hell it wasn't pre-approved, encouraged, and applauded by LBJ & J.Edgar Hoover.

Ray is a moderate and left leaning, but I believe him. Honest, Patriot. Thank you for having the Guts to stand up for the truth! Matt

This is nothing short of amazing. All of the research some of us have done and have figured out from those great researchers is now revealed to be the truth.Bravo Ray McGovern for your courage and RFK Junior as well.
-
Sincere sympathies to Glen Greenwald and family
-
All politics aside, you have to love this guy. He is a natural storyteller who appears to love what he is doing, informing us in an entertaining fashion. I could listen to this guy all day long and just may. Great stuff.
-
I appreciate how you just let him talk, he's great!
-
Ray McGovern is very credible, and deserves our appreciation.
