JFK with his CIA Directors, Dulles & McCone in 1962
On November 12, 1963, President John F. Kennedy had reached broad agreement with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev on joint space missions and sharing classified UFO files. This required both leaders instructing their respective UFO working groups to share information. Kennedy did this through a Top Secret Memorandum to the Director of the CIA to share UFO files with NASA and the USSR. His November 12 Memorandum was relayed on to the James Jesus Angleton, the CIA’s chief of counterintelligence. Angleton controlled access to the most highly classified UFO files in the U.S, and was in direct communications with MJ-12 - the UFO working group within the “MJ-12 Special Studies Project.” In responding to Kennedy’s request, Angleton followed a Top Secret/MJ-12 set of directives. One of the secret directives, revealed in a leaked partially burned Top Secret/MJ-12 document forensically dated to the early 1960s, was a cryptic assassination directive. In case any senior U.S. official did not cooperate with MJ-12, the directive sanctioned political assassination. If accurate, the leaked document is smoking gun evidence that former CIA Director Allen Dulles was involved in drafting and approving with other MJ-12 members a cryptic “assassination directive.” The MJ-12 “assassination directive” was later implemented by Angleton in response to President Kennedy’s November 12, 1963 request to the CIA to release classified UFO files.
Earlier in this investigative series I discussed the burned document and its genesis during the final months of Allen Dulles tenure as Director of the CIA. Dulles and other MJ-12 members were responding to Kennedy’s initial effort on June 28, 1961 to be fully briefed on MJ-12 intelligence operations and UFOs. Kennedy, according to a leaked Top Secret Memorandum titled “Review of MJ-12 Intelligence Operations,” requested Dulles to give a brief summary. In response and unknown to Kennedy, Dulles drafted a set directives shortly before his November 1961 retirement. Dulles’ draft document was addressed to another six members of MJ-12 requesting comments and their approval. It had clear instructions that under no circumstances would any U.S. President or his national security staff be briefed or given access to classified UFO files.
The most damming directive, drafted by Dulles and apparently approved by six other MJ-12 members was a cryptic assassination directive. In full, this states:
Draft - Directive Regarding Project Environment - When conditions become non-conducive for growth in our environment and Washington cannot be influenced any further, the weather is lacking any precipitation … it should be wet.
Dr Robert Wood who is the foremost expert in analyzing MJ-12 documents using forensic methods, has concluded that the burned document is an assassination directive. In an interview discussing the burned document, he pointed out that the cryptic phrase “it should be wet” originates from Russia, where the phrase ‘wet works’ or “wet affairs” denotes someone who had been killed and is drenched with blood. The codeword ‘wet’ was later adopted by the Soviet KGB and other intelligence agencies, according to Dr Wood. The term “it should be wet” therefore was a coded command to kill someone. In drafting this cryptic directive, Allen Dulles was seeking approval from six of his MJ-12 colleagues, to lay the justification for the assassination of any elected or appointed official in Washington DC whose policies were “non-conducive for growth”. The cryptic directive was a pre-authorization for the assassination of any U.S. President who could not “be influenced any further” to follow MJ-12 policies.
Kennedy’s 1963 efforts to end the Cold War, cooperate with the USSR on joint space missions, and share classified UFO files with the USSR created a final showdown with MJ-12. The trigger was Kennedy’s agreement with Khrushchev on November 12, 1963 on space cooperation that led to the National Security Action Memorandum (NSAM) instructing the new Director of the CIA, John McCone, to share UFO information with NASA, and due to NSAM 271, with the USSR. Kennedy’s explosive NSAM to the CIA Director was relayed by William Colby, then (Deputy) Chief of the CIA's Far East Division, to James Angleton in CIA counterintelligence. It was Angleton who had the authority to implement Kennedy’s NSAM. On the bottom of Kennedy’s NSAM next to the signature space appears the following handwriting: "Response from Colby: Angleton has MJ directive 11/20/63" Colby is here acknowledging that Angleton, two days before Kennedy’s assassination, had the MJ directives – the burned document – and would use them to respond to Kennedy’s NSAM. This handwriting directly implicates Angleton in the Kennedy assassination due to the cryptic MJ-12 assassination directive.
There is more evidence to directly implicate Angleton in the Kennedy assassination. Lee Harvey Oswald was among a small group of American citizens to have defected to the Soviet Union in 1959. The CIA established a file on Oswald in 1960, but some authors claim that CIA counterintelligence were monitoring Oswald even earlier, and that Angleton was directly involved through an intermediary. An alleged leaked CIA document also suggests that Oswald was trained by the CIA in 1957 for Soviet assignments. At the very least, as an American defector, Oswald was the responsibility of CIA counterintelligence headed by Angleton. Upon his return to the U.S. in June 1962, Oswald’s activities were closely monitored by CIA counterintelligence. Oswald’s subsequent association with a number of CIA assets including Clay Shaw provided opportunities for Angleton’s counterintelligence to not only monitor, but to manipulate Oswald. Ensuring Oswald’s participation in the Kennedy assassination, no matter how minimal, provided a powerful rationale for preventing a thorough investigation of the Kennedy assassination. As a former communist defector, Angleton and the CIA could persuasively argue that Oswald’s involvement directly implicated the USSR. This allowed the CIA to successfully argue to the Warren Commission, through Allen Dulles who was a member, that a thorough investigation was too dangerous due to the risk of nuclear war.
The assassination of President Kennedy directly resulted from his efforts to gain access to the CIA’s control of classified UFO files. Unknown to Kennedy, a set of secret MJ-12 directives issued by his former CIA Director, Allen Dulles, proscribed any cooperation with Kennedy and his national security staff on the UFO issue. It was Dulles and another six unknown MJ-12 members who sanctioned the directives found in the burned document including a political assassination directive against non-cooperative officials in the Kennedy administration. While Dulles and his six associates pre-authorized the assassination of Kennedy, it was the CIA counterintelligence chief who gave the final orders that culminated in Kennedy’s assassination. In doing so, James Angleton arranged for a communist defector to be involved so as to eventually take the blame and ensure that no thorough investigation would follow by federal or congressional authorities. Documents and facts bear witness to the complicity of former CIA officials in the assassination of President Kennedy. The implications of leaked MJ-12 documents relevant to the Kennedy administration require a thorough public inquiry.

What a story! Incredible!
Reads plausable, now go to the horse's mouths and get the real truth face to face, documented with videotaped the interviews......
Richard Hogland's book DARK MISSION also talks about Kennedy working with the Soviets in future Space Exploration. I'd not heard of the Oswald-Angleton connection before, though. Perhaps we are all wrong and JFK was killed by a weather balloon?
JFK's "cooperation" with the Soviets is supported in part by "Conversations With The Crow."
Where is this "burned document"? How much of it was burned? Have you seen it? Got a copy? Seems to me your story hangs on this document. If you can't produce it, you're just blowing smoke.
I happen to know from multiple sources that Bigfoot shot JFK.
Perhaps it was the CIA that was behind the murder of Olof Palme here in Sweden in 1986.
He was involved in Cuba and US considered him to be a communist friend.
The murder was very professional executed.
The gun used was a Smith and Wesson, and people had seen persons talking in walkie-talkies in the area with American accent just before the murder. Walkie-talkies were very unusual in 1986.

So did you do all this work by sluething through Presidential libraries or are you parroting somebody else's research in an attempt to look like you figured this all out yourself? I don't see much in the way of references other than to Bob Wood's work. Are you working with Bob or simply taking credit for his or someone else's research?
I admire Michael Salla so much: The guy manages over and over again to write history. Virtual reality history of coarse. Based in controversial and disputed documents, beliefs and conspiracy publications that are themselves based on speculation, conclusions are drawn, for that not even indications
exist.
The captions of this article "President Kennedy’s UFO involvement led to assassination order" is stated as a hard fact. We all accept, Mr. Salla can have this opinion, but without a tangible proof, the story remains what it is:
An open hypothesis.
And such things are normally indicated by words like 'could be' or 'might'. Since Michael Salla regularly omit this simple rule of scientific methodology, the objection, he deceives and fools people is justified.
Of coarse Michael Salla can delete this post too with the claim it contained an ad hominem attack. However, I think, educated people recognize the manipulative style of reporting.
While it is true that some of the documents cited in the article are disputed, others are undisputed historical documents and events. Kennedy's NSAM 271; his Sept 22, 1963 speech to the UN; and Oct/Nov 63 conversations with Khrushchev on space cooperation; and Oswald's relationship with CIA counterintelligence are facts. These were the least classified parts of his efforts to have classified UFO files released. The more highly classified leaked documents are disputed, but contextual events and forensics support their validity.
The burned memo with the MJ-12 directives is obviously controversial, but historic events and forensics bear it out as authentic. When all the known facts are combined with the burned document, the inescapable conclusion is that Kennedy was assassinated for getting to close to classified UFO files.
As for criticisms expressed, none are specific but only general vague assertions that reflect a skepticism on the topic.
For those that question: The burned document in on the MJ12 document website.
Michael,
You are quick to dismiss without actually answering any questions...
Nothing vague about asking you if this is your personal research, the result of your original investigation of archives and docs or are you offering your opinions via a web of disparate factoids and opinions gathered by others? I don't see any reference to your work, your discovery of anything... its all about what somebody else did, what they found and what you claim that means. Have you done any work to valdate the relevent documents? Have you ever seen the actual document itself? Have you actually done any of this work or are you just sewing together an opinion? I don't have a problem with the idea, its just that you are presenting it as truth and offering damned little of your own work to support it.
Would it be better to say "It's Michael Salla's own opinion that JFK was murdered for his interest in disclosure" rather than claiming factually that "JFK was murdered for his interest in disclosure?"
@exopolitics:
My objection is, you draw conclusions from a thinkable variant of history and make statements, as these would based on rock-solid historical facts, were no other possible interprestation would be possible; while accepted historical facts are rare.
The hypoteses you advocate are undoubtly extraordinary. E.g. there is no document, that even confirms the involvement of CIA. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proofs; particularly, when intelligence agencies are involved, who are well known to be masters of disinformation, deception and secrecy. So if you wanted, other people than UFO-enthusiasts took you for serious, I'd suggest, you turned the caption of these sorts of articles into questions, and, outlined other possibilities too. E.g. another hypothesis could be Kennedy was murdered, because he wanted to end the Cold War. That would be a rather compelling argument about defence industry. Or what if Oswald's offense was a coincidence?
JFK was an officer in the Naval reserve in 1947 at the time of the Roswell event, and likely would have had limited knowledge of the ET from that time. During the Cuban missile crisis there were attempts by the ‘secret’ government to ‘trigger’ a nuclear exchange and begin a general nuclear war. JFK would have likely ‘connected the dots’ and possibly had a basic understanding of what the politics of the Extraterrestrials may have been from that time and may have planned to put pressure on the secret government by working with the Russians to reveal the presence of the High-level Extraterrestrial powers.
Professor Merrick of Cambridge, Massachusetts claims in his book “Killing the messenger: The Death of JFK, that he was killed for his plans to reveal the Extraterrestrial presence. Note cards with the JFK speech were found after the death of John Connolly who rode with JFK in Dallas and had been given to them read.
Here is the speech JFK planned to read

Interesting how allegations about the JFK murder bring out such rhetoric. The 1978 House Assassinations Committee report stated that there was evidence of conspiracy in the murder. Before he died, CIA officer David Atlee Phillips told Mark Lane that the CIA was monitoring the Oswald-in-Mexico story, at the time. No evidence of Oswald having gone to talk to the Soviet embassy in Mexico has ever surfaced. Instead, CIA surveillance picked up someone else there. In other words, Phillips was admitting CIA culpability in the ruse. CIA officer E. H. Hunt admitted a partial role in the assassination--he told his son. See the Rolling Stone article about St. John Hunt and his father's deathbed confession. Hunt said LBJ was complicit, apparently to get rid of the (Johnson aide) Bobby Baker-mafia ties investigation. It was an obstacle to LBJ's aspirations. Other direct CIA agents have admitted an agency role in the murder, so Michael has good, multiple corroboration for his CIA mentions.
Also, that photo of Dulles above is when he was on the outs. McCone was to replace him. Dulles was considered a screw-up: he allowed Trafficante, Giancana, and other mafioso to be key players in "the Bay of Pigs thing," as E. H. Haldeman referred to the larger matter. Haldeman's reference was actually a hint made directly on the Watergate Oval Office tapes as Nixon was going down in flames. Historians see it as a hint at the JFK murder. Dulles worked for Du Pont-owned United Fruit Co. in Guatemala. Some Du Ponts hated JFK because he AND Eisenhower made them give up DuPont corp. control of GM (DuPonts kept most of their shares, individually, nonetheless). Kennedy's prosecution of the mob impinged on DuPont family money networks, and Du Ponts tended to wine and dine that Operation Northwoods military faction that wanted to do false flag attacks on US citizens to get war w. Cuba. Dulles-DuPont protege Gen. Ed Lansdale was photo'd at Dealey Plaza. See Dulles' little boy oral, loser look?
I feel that that concept behind something such as exopolitics is greatly threatened if we continue to adhere to such opinionated and suggestive articles. YES, it is good to be reaching outside the box and trying to find new answers, however, creating articles that are so easily taken apart, unfortunately creates a round hole, square peg situation when it comes to making exopolitics something credible. I believe some objective ontology is what the doctor would order here!
I haven't seen a shred of evidence that even indicates that JFK had an interest in things ET much less was motivated to disclose anything UFO-related. Not a hand scrawled note, not a meeting brief.... so how do we go from there to "JFK was killed because of his interest in UFO Disclosure".
This is must crazy talk. Of course Exopolitics is all about saving the race of humanoids hiding under the surface of Mars, dodging the electrical grid frying solar flares of 2012, etc....
They certainly aren't about disclosure, they are about self-promotion of their own brand of UFO lunacy. I would think a disclosure movement would be driven by wanting to know the truth rather than by telling everyone what it claims to be the truth...
Snake oil....
Angleton was one of the more interesting characters in JFKdom. His special unit was in charge of all the spy/defector stuff. Otto Otepka of the State Department investigated the Oswald Defector program and was 'dismissed' afterwards. I guess the Oswald, 'top secret' did him in. Angelton reported directly to Dulles who was in charge of the Warren Commission (cover up commission), and went directly to Mexico City when the station chief over David Atlee Phillips met a sudden death after writing his book. His wife said he had the Mexico City photos of Oswald in his safe, and Angleton broke in and took that before the funeral. As far as the UFO stuff, I don't think it's too much of a stretch to know it was a high interest of both govt's real or imagined. It would stand to reason that it should be scrutinized on a level as to not interfere with a seeing of something in the sky. They did shoot down an American spy plane over Russia for goodness sakes.

@ Weirdlarry....Okay. Yeah. I agree with that. Perhaps my argument preceeding yours should have given that comparisson. Exopolitics SHOULD stand for disclosure, when it clearly doesn't at the moment. It damages the push for disclosure.
