JFK was not a socialist by any means, he just wasn't a full on libertarian.

JFK was against Israel having a nuclear bomb, like very very against it, it's more than just the CIA.

JFK was also trying to revive the idea of a 2nd bill of rights.

Ctrl + F "Bill of"

Im not saying JFK was assassinated by the CIA, but I am saying assassinations tend to happen when a charismatic leader starts making their ideas about class warfare and not race, religion, gender, etc. (EG: MLK Jr.)

Oh 100% this is why. It always comes down to money and power. This bill threatened both, especially #4.

  1. "The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the nation."
  2. "The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation."
  3. "The right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him and his family a decent living."
  4. "The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home and abroad."
  5. "The right of every family to a decent home."
  6. "The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health."
  7. "The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accidents, and unemployment."
  8. "The right to a good education."
