Why didnt they do to carter what they did to jfk? Also, do you think the cia director is more powerful than the president?
I don't know all the politics but Kennedy was fiercely hated by the Billionaire Class, the Italian Mafia, the Ivy League, The Military, the CIA, and he basically waged all out war against them. He fired the CIA Director Allen Dulles, removed the CIA as the intelligence arm that informs the President, and then he started to dismantle the agency altogether. Kennedy was a straight up G and his brother Bobby was right along with him trying high profile cases and locking the Mob.
The important thing to remember is that the CIA is the branch of Government that directly serves the Deep State. All the pomp and circumstance with the constitution, declarations of war, congressional approval and all that shyt is not applicable when it comes to the CIA. If a rich family wants to take some shyt in another country, they no longer have to lobby the Congress, President, etc and go through the bureaucracy to get it done.
The CIA has its own budget, its own military, etc and can attack at will. The Rockefeller family had mining interests in Cuba that was nationalized by Fidel Castro, the Rockefeller lead company Freeport wanted their mines and equipment back and that's why why the US has beef with Cuba. If you remember, the CIA started attacking Cuba first because as I stated previously, the CIA is the branch of Government that reports directly to the real leaders of the USA and it ain't the President or Congress.
The CIA was unable to get Castro out of office so that's why they wanted Kennedy to commit the full might of the US Military on Cuba and he was like "NOPE". This pissed off the true leaders of the USA which in turned pissed the CIA because they serve the true leaders, which pissed of the military leaders cuz they always want something to shoot, which then pissed of the corporations because airlines, defense contractors, bus lines, luggage companies, etc all make billions off of war.
So to answer your question, is the Director of Central Intelligence more powerful than the President? No. But the interests/players that the Director of Central Intelligence represents and advocates for are more important and powerful than every single person in the US Government combined. So if the DCI's bosses say a President has to go, that muhfukka is gone, end of discussion.
I think they wouldn't dare to assassinate another President after they struck both Kennedy and his Brother as it would cause too much noise and the people would want answers. It wouldn't have been good optically if they shot Carter...them killing Kennedy and his Brother already had them scared of a Civil War and guess what a Civil War will do?
fukk up the money. Guess what they are trying to avoid? fukking up the money. Why did they kill Kennedy? Cuz he was fukking up the money. This whole thing is about money and power...thats why the whole Mitch McConnell thing is funny...if the real leader of the USA wanted Americans to have $2000 stimulus Mitch McConnell couldn't do a damn thing to stop it.
He'd block that bill and then get a visit and he'd get his ass back out on the floor and pass it with no hesitation.
