Far from proved, to put it mildly. Have you been watching a lot of Oliver Stone movies?

This whole scenario depends on the belief that JFK was somehow not a good imperialist. But he was a rabid anti-Communist who campaigned on the fraudulent missile gap; to the Kennedys, Ike wasn't a sufficiently aggressive imperialist. He cut taxes on rich people; supply-siders revere him as a pioneer.

What about Nixon? Did the CIA depose him, as John Ehrlichman and Kevin Phillips say?
