Last night I watched a new documentary film about the backgrounds of President Kennedy´s assassination.

Sorry, German link I´ll try to summarize:

The reporter met some former members of the Mexican and Cuban secret service. Another source is a CIA member named Laurence Keenan. They say that Lee Harvey Oswald met a Cuban agent in Mexico City who ordered the assassination.

Furthermore the documentary film tells that John F. Kennedy´s brother Robert ordered the killing of Fidel Castro. However these attempts were prevented by Cuban secret service. Castro was not amused of this. He contacted a Colombian journalist and told him that further attempts to kill him may have consequences... His intention was to give a warning to the Kennedys.

However Robert Kennedy started another attempt, Castro was not amused and Oswald came into play.

After Kennedy´s death the new President Lyndon B. Johnson was very soon informed that there were traces that lead to Cuba. But he decided to abort all researches and to close the case. The reasons for this, says the documentation, were these:

1. The fear of being driven into a nuclear war after the public uproar.
2. The fear of a long lasting swing to the right (politically) in the American people


What do you think of this version of the story? I think it´s rather sound, certainly better than those CIA conspiracy theories as it was presented in the Oliver Stone movie. It also gives another explanation why the US are maintaining their strict attitude towards Cuba even after Cold War is some time ago (Yes, I am also aware of the exiled Cubans in Florida and their political influence )
