Who benefitted? Who benefitted the most – and the most directly – from the assassinations of both JFK and RFK?
The underlying and unspoken assumption concerning the assassinations of both John F. Kennedy (1963) and Robert F. Kennedy (1968) was that they were political hits. They certainly seemed like political hits, and the list of potential perpetrators included the CIA, the FBI, Cuba, Russia, LBJ, and the Mafia (let’s put aside the single shooter theory and the magic bullet theory for now).
Another assumption was that the two assassinations were not connected – that the motive for the JFK assassination was not the same as the motive for the RFK assassination. But what if the same person or group was behind both Kennedy assassinations, and for reasons that involved obsession, possession, and ambition more than politics?
In America, when there is a crime, investigators “Follow the money.” But in Europe, the equivalent saying is, “Cherchez la femme,” “seek out the woman involved.”
This app answers the question about who benefitted – directly – from the two assassinations. The JFK and RFK assassinations were planned by flesh and blood men with flesh and blood motives who wove a tangled web of love and obsession obscured by politics and hatred.
Here’s a joke: A man who has been researching the JFK assassination for 40 years dies and goes to Heaven. He demands a face-to-face meeting with God because he has one big question to ask Him. God agrees to the meeting, expecting the question to be “What is the meaning of life?” But instead, the researcher asks, “God, who killed JFK?” And God says, “You know, I have a theory about that…”
