There is a common belief that the CIA assassinated JFK. There is no evidence and no motive though. There is some indirect evidence that the CIA was involved in the "cover-up" after the assassination.
Let's check this out 😎
🔸 Let's check the historical context.
1961: Berlin crisis: WW3 between the Soviet Union and the USA could have started. It took a lot of effort from both sides to diffuse the situation.

1962: Cuban missile crisis: WW3 between the Soviet Union and the USA almost started. It took a lot of effort from both sides to diffuse the situation.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuban_Missile_Crisis
1963: ???
It is clear from the above that at the beginning of the 1960s each year there was a crisis that could lead to a war between the Soviet Union and the USA. Each time the dynamics was started by a 3rd party.
Neither the Soviet Union nor the USA were interested in the war. The result of the Nuclear war between the powers would have resulted in total annihilation of the Soviet big cities in Europe and in a huge damage (although not fatal) and many losses to the United States East Coast.
Note to self: the #1 priority of the secret services of both powers during this period was Nuclear war prevention.
🔸 What was the real meaning of the JFK assassination.
Based on the historical context described above - the 1963 JFK assassination was a conspiracy organized by a 3rd party to create a casus belli for the US to attack the USSR and start a Nuclear war (similar to the Berlin Crisis and the Cuban Missile Crisis 1 and 2 years prior).
🔸 What was the conspiracy and how is war related?
The conspiracy plan was:
1. Oswald (alone or within a group - doesn't really matter) kills JFK.
2. While Oswald was in custody - known journalists were supposed to start "investigating" who was Oswald. They would "discover" that Oswald lived in the Soviet Union and was married to a Russian woman. Journalists could interview Oswald himself and his wife, etc.
3. The organized MSM campaign with many articles follows. All articles would point out that it was Russians who killed Kennedy. A lot would depend on what Oswald was going to say to journalists and/or during the trial.
The following MSM campaign was an essential part of the conspiracy. This was similar to the assassination of Franz Ferdinand in 1914 which led to WW1 after the public trial of Princip and the following MSM campaign in Austria.

The MSM was supposed to put a huge pressure on the US government to start the war with the Soviet Union.
🔸 Why the CIA had to cover up the story.
As I mentioned above: the #1 priority of the secret services of both powers during this period was nuclear war prevention. Given the historical context of 1961-62 the CIA quickly realized that the JFK assassination was a replay of the 1914 Ferdinand assassination.
🔸 Why the cover-up was needed.
The CIA and the FBI had to quickly diffuse the situation.
- Oswald had to be silenced - that was done with the help of the Mafia: Jack Ruby killed Oswald.
- Any evidence that connected Oswald to the Soviet Union had to be destroyed.
- Possible co-conspirators should have been found and killed.
- Journalists suspected in the conspiracy should have been silenced.
- Any other necessary damage-control should have been done.
🔸 Conclusions.
That's why the CIA did not assassinate JFK but was involved in the "cover-up". If the CIA was really responsible for the assassination - then no "cover-up" would have been needed 🇺🇸
The Bellwether Counties argument is frequently cited on Twitter as evidence of an anomaly in the 2020 elections. In 2020, Trump won the popular vote in bellwether counties but lost the election, whereas in 2016, he won both the popular vote in these counties and the election.
The argument states: there are 15-20 bellwether counties, and the candidate who wins the popular vote in these counties will win the General Election.
This concept is flawed since the winner of the General Elections is not decided by the popular vote but by the Electoral College.
Interestingly, there is only one county in the United States that has consistently voted for the winner of the presidential election since 1980: Clallam County, WA.
I have identified 16 bellwether counties that have allegedly predicted the winner. Among them are three counties in South Carolina (Calhoun, Colleton, and Darlington), two in Ohio (Ottawa and Wood), and two in New Mexico (Valencia and Hidalgo).
What do bellwether counties predict, and what do they ...
People think that the Wikipedia is not a reliable source because anyone can edit any article.
📣 Actually, Wikipedia is an excellent source for information. However, it is important to learn how to use it effectively. Here are a couple of examples of how to dig into a Wikipedia article:
- You can check the Wikipedia article in other languages and cross-check the information using Google Translate. The information on the same subject may vary significantly depending on the language in which it is written.
- You can go through the history of Wikipedia article edits and compare the information. You may discover that some essential information was removed by an editor.
I plan WIKI to be a series of articles on the Debunked, where debunking can be done solely using Wikipedia.

On September 26, 1983, Stanislav Petrov, a duty officer who was stationed in the nuclear early-warning system of the Soviet Union saw a big RED BOLD message all over the screen - 5 missiles launched from bases in the United States.
Petrov saved the world by not reporting them to his superiors, and instead dismissed them as a false alarm. This was a breach of his instructions, a dereliction of duty. The safe thing to do would have been to pass the responsibility on, to refer up.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the story did get into the press. Mr Petrov received several international awards. But he does not think of himself as a hero 😆
"That was my job", he says. "But they were lucky it was me on shift that night."
📣 The story has all attributes of a classic hoax: only one source, no witnesses, unnecessary visual details that make the story sound more trustworthy.
