I first brought forward the JFK-as-traitor hypothesis in the early 90s when outlining my yet-in-progress novel Autumn Too Long, and rekindled discussion of it in the immediate wake of Seymour Hersh's aforementioned comment.
"Proof" of JFK's "treason" could be traced to his tenure at the London School of Economics where he studied Political Science with and was "recruited" by the noted Labor Party leader and socialist Harold Laski.
Older brother Joe, Jr., by the way, had previously studied with Laski and returned to the States very much enamored of socialism -- a position he was not shy about revealing.
For whatever it's worth, I am convinced that Operation Traitor was activated for the reasons discussed here. The Great Lie at its core worked then, and more than likely remains in use to this very day.
I further believe that, at the time, it was used to convince and get the blessings of some very highly placed, very famous military and civilian leaders.
JFK's mortal sin -- literally -- was his realization that it was all a charade ... that as I imagine him saying to his young and as yet non-comprehending children, "You're my country now."

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
