Comment on How come assassinations went away for the most part? Why send a bunch of god fearing young kids into a battle the upper class started or wanted when clipping one leader would stop it?

Because the CIA is like a clown car of stupid, and bungled Castro’s so bad it just made us all look stupid.

Then by an amazing coincidence, JFK got shot in the head a couple of years after the attempts.

Also Executive Order 12333 signed by Regan after someone shot him.

Plus Trump just did kill the ayatollah, it changed nothing.

In the end, all you do is make them a martyr and propel us faster into war.

I think the lesson they learned from the martyrs they created in the 60s (King, the Kennedys) is that it’s much easier and just as effective to assassinate character. And it’s mostly legal.

  Yup.
  
  Fox News brainwashing and lies are way more effective than a bullet, and really really profitable.
  
  Well, profitable up till that whole voting machine thing.
