Solving JFK

In the final episode of our Israel series, we bring together the remaining evidence and arguments relied upon by researchers who believe Israel may have played a role in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. We revisit Jack Ruby through the lens of his alleged connections to Mickey Cohen and Meyer Lansky, examine the operational capabilities of the Mossad in the early 1960s, and explore newly declassified material touching on Israel’s involvement in covert operations related to Cuba. We also analyze claims involving Cuban exile foreknowledge, including the Homer Echeverria file, and address allegations surrounding Israeli intelligence ties to Oliver Stone’s film JFK.
After weighing motive, means, opportunity, and the available evidence, we assess whether the case against Israel holds up under scrutiny.

In this episode, we continue our deep dive into the theory of Israeli involvement in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy by expanding the lens beyond James Angleton. We revisit Meyer Lansky through the specific context of his ties to Israel, organized crime, offshore banking, and intelligence-adjacent networks, examining whether those relationships plausibly intersect with Dealey Plaza. Along the way, we explore Lansky’s connections to figures like Jim Braden, the Corsican mafia, and the murky financial world that sat at the crossroads of intelligence agencies and criminal enterprises.
We then turn to Permindex, a shadowy international trade organization that has long fueled speculation among assassination researchers. Was it simply a failed commercial venture, or a covert financial cut-out tied to intelligence operations and political violence abroad? By analyzing its leadership, banking relationships, alleged ties to the CIA, and its connection to Clay Shaw, we weigh what can be supported by documentary evidence against what remains unresolved. As always, we separate what is provable from what is possible—and leave you to decide how compelling the case really is.

This episode centers on CIA Counterintelligence Chief James Angleton and his exceptionally close, largely unsupervised relationship with the Israeli government and its intelligence services. We trace Angleton’s rise inside the CIA, his exclusive liaison role with Mossad, the extraordinary authority he exercised with minimal oversight, and his deep personal ties to senior Israeli political, intelligence, and nuclear figures during the critical years leading up to 1963. We then turn to Israel’s secret nuclear program and the unresolved mystery of the missing highly enriched uranium from the NUMEC facility in Pennsylvania.

In this episode, we begin a multi-part examination of Israel, focusing on whether serious and escalating policy disputes between the Kennedy administration and Israeli leadership could constitute motive.
This episode examines four major areas of conflict: Kennedy’s effort to enforce the Foreign Agents Registration Act on pro-Israel lobbying groups, his comparatively pro-Arab Middle East policies, disputes over UN Resolution 194 concerning Palestinian refugees, and—most critically—his confrontation with Israeli leaders over Israel’s secret nuclear weapons program at Dimona. Drawing from historical records, declassified materials, and firsthand accounts, this episode lays the groundwork for a deeper exploration of Israel’s potential role.

In this bonus episode of Solving JFK, I’m joined by acclaimed JFK researcher and author Jim DiEugenio for a conversation that begins with reflections on the recent passing of Rob Reiner and Robert Tanenbaum, both of whom previously appeared on this podcast. Jim discusses his work with Reiner on the project that ultimately became the Who Killed JFK podcast, and why Reiner’s late-career involvement in the JFK case was significant.
The discussion then turns to Tanenbaum’s underappreciated role on the House Select Committee on Assassinations, before shifting into a rebuttal of several claims made in the recent Mafia series on Solving JFK. Jim critiques key sources, offers alternative interpretations, and lays out his overarching theory on the killing of Lee Harvey Oswald by Jack Ruby.
