This is a very high level bullet point list of facts and suppositions and reasonable speculation: (links will be to various sources, some of which are notorious for providing info/disinfo).
First, consider what Mungia stated with regard to what he had been informed in relation to the importance/secrecy of the UFO phenomena... [paraphrased] - "more secretive, more important then the H-Bomb." This suggests the time frame of this as near the end and just after WWII... keep this in mind.
Fact: WWII ends and
Operation Paperclip begins (if it had not begun already prior to the official end).
Fact: John Kennedy (JFK), probably due to James Forrestal's relationship with his father, Joe Kennedy, invited JFK to go with him on the trip to Germany in the summer of 1945 (note Paperclip was "formally approved" in August of 1945).
Supposition: First you have "the crashes" (
Missouri 1941) and finally "Roswell" (which was several crashes in the New Mexico region of the US around roughly the same time).
Reasonable Speculation: Forrestal, as Secretary of the Navy, which had a cabinet level position until the establishment of the Secretary of Defense, would likely be privy to the "UFO" evolving picture. Based on significant documentation (news reports, diaries), it seems likely that Forrestal and JFK had established a relationship whereby JFK may have learned for the first time of the "UFO phenomena."
Fact: Soon after Roswell, you have the National Security Act (creating the NSC and the CIA) which came into law one day after James Forrestal became the first Secretary of Defense.
Supposition: Majestic 12 (MJ-12, MJ12) came into being via executive order (by Truman) around this same time.
Fact: US Naval Intelligence was (and probably still is) the lead military branch regarding all things "UFO."
Supposition: Project Blue Book (US Air Force) was likely meant to be, more than anything, the "official UFO investigative military front" for the purpose of providing distraction and info/disinfo dissemination "for management of public perception."
Supposition: Forrestal was a founding member of MJ12. Forrestal was a strong proponent of "going public about UFO."
Fact: Forrestal, being an opponent of much of Truman's policies, and in consideration of Truman's discovery that Forrestal had met with Truman's 1948 presidential rival, Thomas Dewey, where an agreement was reached where Forrestal would continue as Secretary of Defense, Truman "asks Forrestal to resign" (fired him) in early 1949.
Fact: Forrestal experiences a "mental/emotional breakdown" on the same day he tenders his letter of resignation. Hospitalization occurs - a Naval doctor placed in charge who sent him to the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland where instead of being located on the first floor (where cases such as his were housed) he was placed on the sixteenth floor. (Even Wikipedia casts doubt on the "official cause of death" which actually does not conclude suicide.
See Here.
Speculation: JFK was aware of UFO. JFK's interest continued through his rise to the presidency.
Supposition: MJ12, the "military-industrial complex," Paperclip ex-Nazi's involvement with what became NASA, compartmentalized areas within the CIA, all grow in power and control over the "publicly perceived" US Government, that "the people" elect their leaders, and that the leaders are fundamentally doing the bidding of the people and what they are doing is discoverable and thus known to the free press and thus known to the people.
Supposition: Eisenhower and his realization that he's "not in charge" -
Eisenhower threatened to invade Area 51 with the First Army out of Colorado. - Note there's an video of a "deathbed confession" in the link provided (22 minutes) - suggesting MJ12, et al. were running this show, not a US president (at least from the perspective of the US and the US Government goes... maybe further... ie. cooperation in certain matters with intelligence agencies /defense departments / non-US bases private military research and development corporations and/or multi-national corporations involved in R&D and yet private and thus perfect for SAPs and black within black project management / protection.
Another interesting "item" raised by this "deathbed confession" is the operation on US soil of someone "in the CIA."
Now let's get to the meat...
Fact: JFK is elected President taking office in January of 1961. JFK has a few private conversations with Eisenhower (could UFO have been discussed? Could "the military-industrial complex" have been discussed?) Recall the famous
farewell address of Eisenhower. Kennedy attempts to take control back of the CIA (well documented). In my opinion, if you don't consider "the possibility" that elements of the CIA (which includes current (at that time) and former (at that time) "employees" of the CIA, as well as current and/or former "contractors" as well as current and/or former "friends, associates, beneficial relationship parties" of the CIA) had a hand in the assassination - perhaps playing a key "operational and/or coordinating role" in the operation - is to be naive.
Nothing has been covered, written about, investigated in the last 56 years more than the JFK assassination but understand, there's potential fact, potential accurate supposition, potential erroneous conclusions and potential intentional info/disinfo in all conclusions drawn from these investigations and in my opinion,
all "finger pointing" articles, books, videos related to the Kennedy assassination are, to me, all playing a part within an overall "perfect way" to deal with it whereby the actual reasons can never be determined. Many people hated and/or feared Kennedy (like they do Trump today for example
because he wasn't under control of the "actual government" some of us "suspect" exists whereby I believe it all began as I have been suggesting up to this point and all because of "UFO" and the alien presence." I believe there were many, many reasons Kennedy had to be stopped albeit fear of an "unwalkbackable" UFO disclosure is, in my opinion, the "principle reason." But also... where a case could have been made if it all came out, that the decision to do so was actually done legally (yes... I know that will come across as ludicrous to suggest... but read on).
Fact:
Allen Dulles is named CIA Director in 1953 and "fired" by JFK after "the Bay of Pigs" fiasco in late November of 1961.
Supposition: Dulles was made MJ1 sometime prior to Kennedy's election as President. Dulles also represented a tight group within the 12 of six other MJ12 participants. In addition, there is documentation (refuted by the FBI as "bogus") that there was a "license to kill" anyone who was concluded to be a real threat to "outing" UFO/ET. The document known as "
Project Environment" which was written cryptically and for obvious reasons. See that link and it will be understood.
Supposition: JFK "pillow talk" with Marilyn Monroe didn't help JFK any as the information she gathered was written in a well known "
red diary" that somehow had been "disappeared" for years where only fragments here and there somehow emerged years later. Some suspect the missing fragments mentioned Kennedy sharing about his "supposed" visit to a US military base where he had been shown the bodies of aliens. Recall Monroe's threat to reveal some "embarrasing content" from her written recollections. Recall her interesting death. Recall the speculation Bobby Kennedy and his contacts with the LAPD may have played a role.
Supposition: Kennedy had been (behind the scenes) working to wrestle control of "UFO/ET" away from the governmental powers that were controlling it (MJ12 / and elements within and around the CIA) -
see this memo and commentary.
Supposition: Kennedy may have planned to form a joint effort with the USSR focusing on "the threat" perceived to exist related to UFO/ET. The MJ12/"military industrial complex"/CIA elements were ideologically opposed to such and it can be reasonably speculated the possibility of reverse engineered "alien artifacts from crashes" could have been perceived to provide this group a significant advantage over the Soviets. Thus we have another reason MJ12 could be concerned with the maverick, JFK.
If indeed, as Alex mentioned to Lance Mungia... specifically this -
Speculations: Note that Vannevar Bush (not related to the Bush political family by the way) was, along with Forrestal, one of the original MJ12. Note also the H-Bomb (the Big Nuke) was being developed during Truman's presidency. Edward Teller was known as "the father of the hydrogen bomb" and was also a part of MJ12 (not the original group but appears sometime near 1953). The point here being that though the Wilbert Smith memo and
Project Magnet did not become public
until years later (during Nixon?) it all started in 1950, thus at the time the hydrogen bomb was well under development.
So now I will create a Part 2 post which will lay out the theory some hold with regards to the bigger picture from those early days up until today - "...and all that leads us through "Watergate," Iran/Contra, 9/11 and now..."
Regarding all of the above, I want to mention one reference - a book by Michael E. Salla entitled -
Kennedy's Last Stand: Eisenhower, UFOs, MJ-12 & JFK's Assassination.
It is important to note that Salla
blew up his reputation within a few years after he published this book. My theory as to why he did so is because his
Kennedy's Last Stand book went way too far and so his "throw in" with the clown show that emerged within the UFO research community starting in 2015. That is a very important part of this overall story but I won't go down that path at this time as it diverts from the "part 2" part of Alex's question which I will provide in my next post.
One last comment - If anyone thinks JFK was assassinated by order and/or action of just one interested party... I suggest one shouldn't just settle on that which appears the easiest (most logical or most obvious) party to point to. Open up to the possibility there be a large yet loosely (and in some cases, barely) connected series of relationships whereby it can be easily understood that individually (and/or individual groups) of each of these specific parties had their reasons for wanting Kennedy out of power... and perhaps permanently.
