Who Killed The President? Why Kill The President?
The largest defining moment in America has happened right before our eyes! On November 22, 1963, our political innocence was tarnished with the assassination of one of the most powerful men of the free world. President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, undoubtedly the beacon of light, of hope, for many of us, gunned down before the world.
With the death of a man of this posture, how can there not be conspiratorial theories to acknowledge. Many questions will remain unanswered. With every answer a new question will arise. Why, and by whom? What does this mean? Is there something deeper, darker behind this? Could he be a “puppet” on the hand of a “deep state” controlling the course of political history? (Allen & Abraham, 2013). Was it the actions of disgruntled anti-Communists wanting to exact revenge for his failure to deal with Fidel Castro? Can one man be so capable to carry out such a precise and deliberate act without any help whatsoever?
There are several implications for American politics that can emerge from the death of JFK. One of them is the conspiratorial idea that there are certain elements within the U.S. system of government that act in a manner that benefit specific corporate and political interest groups. For example, the death of JFK can pave the way for the escalation of hostilities in Southeast Asia, including the Vietnam War. The conflict is leaving America in bad economic shape, lowered morale and causing political polarization. The death of JFK also gives rise to the idea of a wider conspiracy by big government and big business to keep Americans on a war footing. The wars in Vietnam and other parts of the Southeast Asian continent were very profitable for big corporate concerns (Douglass, 2010).
This could mean that elected American officials, particularly those at the very top, are not really in charge of steering the course of events. That there is really only a one-party system in America: the deep state, which is able to co-opt both the Democratic and Republican Party to advance policies that benefit the large corporations involved in the war industry. The American electorate is regarded as a passive observer in this relationship between big government and big business (Allen & Abraham, 2013).
Overall, the conspiracy surrounding the death of JFK will have major effects on the evolution of the American political consciousness. The American people continue to be concerned about the possibility that certain political factions, as well as big financial and economic corporations, benefit from the opaque nature of the political system (Douglass, 2010).
