As far as the sponsor issue goes (with me being an almost complete numpty on JFK obviously), I thought the recently referenced John Judge footage in which he related the anecdote of his mother said it all.
It was the military-industrial-intelligence-organized-crime-complex.
The Joint Chiefs order to rework new troop numbers and their prediction of 57,000 US troop deaths from the Vietnam war (uncannily accurate btw), three days after JFK caught bullets (in other words the very next "working" day), is clarity itself.
There's no more mystery.
The sponsors were the war lobby. All of them: the Pentagon (who love bang-bang); the arms companies and war "materiel" boys; the banking and finance community to finance the whole package; the political muscle to see it through; the organized crime families to "manage" the drugs train, prostitution and other proscribed activities that are all factored into a big war; the big construction companies to build the infrastructure needed to house, feed and otherwise accommodate half a million men of war; the medical big shots and big pharma to repair the resultant ravaged and mangled men of war, the airlines for shipping out the troops...
The list is endless. The cost was enormous.
And it is the ordinary guys in the street who are expected to pay for it and are also chosen (obviously) to bleed for it, and to pay what the generals and politico's like to call "the ultimate sacrifice" --- as they swill their Jack on the rocks and puff on their Habana cigars from the comfort of a luxury club or restaurant (hey, no bleeding or paying for them).
The war lobby remains in place today.
Let's also remember what especially significant facts that Fletcher Prouty revealed in his JFK book. At the end of WWII al the accumulated US military surplus was placed in two great 50/50 blocks. One block was shipped to Korea and the other to French Indochina (Vietnam).
The World War was now over so new ones were planned. And this is why the CFR's "War and Peace Study Project" (beginning 1939) has never been made public even to this day because in the words of the CFR the study would:
Yup, they sure guided it alright.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
