Probably the biggest mistake that the JFK assassination research community has made over the last 50 years is endlessly debating "the reason" for the assassination, as though there was only one of them.
It is 2015 and people are still asking the question "who did it?"
It is important to understand that these questions are meaningless unless and until we, a) define our terms, and b) place them within a coherent analytical framework.
It is this lack of logical rigour that has had every nebulous entity imaginable, from "the CIA" to "the mob" to "the military industrial complex", floated as potential Sponsors of the assassination. And none of them are.
To be honest, it makes my fucking head hurt.

“The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him.â€
