After Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev sent nuclear weapons into Cuba in an effort to gain strategic leverage on the Cold War chessboard, the United States was almost provoked into a military confrontation with the Soviets that could have easily gone nuclear.   In this episode, we analyze the Cuban Missile Crisis. How did it get started? What exactly was at stake?

But, this is nothing new in the study of the JFK Assassination. Every accused group or institution that we’ve studied and will be studying has a motive. That’s why they’re even in the conversation. And that’s why this case is so confusing.

Given the performance of the Kennedy brothers on the McClellan Committee – Chief Counsel Robert Kennedy, in particular - most of the bosses in La Cosa Nostra did not expect the Kennedys to suddenly become lenient towards organized crime.
