Did the US assassinate JFK?

I haven’t done a lot of research into this one because whenever I try to look into it all the sources are either complete wackos I wouldn’t trust to tell me much of anything, or people clearly just repeating the state narrative. I used to blankly dismiss the idea in my Libshit days and I would like to examine it more in depth. So I would very much appreciate opinions and good sources to read up on it.

  I mean, I’m sure no one looked at the JFK assassination and thought “wow cool I should be a marxist too!” Even though I can’t exactly blame him for wanting to kill JFK, it didn’t seem to accomplish much. Of I went and shot Trump, I’m sure it would only embolden his rabbid fanbase anyway.

Don’t plagiarise. Quotation of historians is acceptable and encouraged, but please cite them so that people can look at the source themselves.
Provide sources where applicable, and be ready to provide sources for any claim you make. Wikipedia is not a source.
Remain on topic. Follow-up questions on the same topic are allowed and encouraged, but entirely unrelated questions should be asked in a new thread. Jokes are allowed, but please use common sense - a thread should not consist solely of comic relief!
Don’t be afraid to question established narratives, or narratives presented by other users, but refrain from conspiracy theories or pseudo-history. If you want to discuss Nazi Antarctic bases, credible sources are expected.
Speculation and presentation of original ideas is allowed and encouraged, but do NOT attempt to pass it off as undisputed fact. Make it clear that this is your own thought/opinion.
Debate is allowed, provided that it remains structured, civil, and on-topic. A thread about the Kronstadt Rebellion is welcome to contain debate on that topic, but the debate should not become a general debate between Marxism and Anarchism as ideologies. Debate in a comradely fashion. Personal attacks won’t be tolerated.
