Did JFK embody the pre-existing state/system or a mortal threat to it?
Those who killed JFK did not emerge in 1963 as new players. They were/are the long-established state/system which JFK endangered.
By killing JFK the assassination's sponsors did not take control of the state/system, but rather consolidated and strengthened their control.
It is we who threaten their national security.
Q.1: The latter.
Q. 2: I think he embodied the idealism of the American political system but what he and those millions of idealists failed to understand was the intrinsic greed and corruption of human nature.
Therefore, my unequivocal answer to your question is that he represented a mortal threat to the ruling elite and their carefully cultivated deception, known as democracy.
Para 3: I agree.
Para 4: I agree.
Para 5: I agree. Informed individuals are a great threat to the power elite. They can see when a policy initiative has no logic or benefit for the common good. Especially on forums like this, because unlike professional journalists and commentators, we have no boss to answer to and therefore can't be corrupted or coerced---at least initially. No names mentioned.
