Are there people in government who know who killed JFK?

[David Andrews]

Well, but living people, today.  If Helms knew, then Colby knew, etc.

But, since we're doing this, if one finds Colby's 1996 death suspicious, consider the timing: in the ARRB period, and in the aftermath of Stone's JFK.  And not because he gave away the so-called "Family Jewels," but because of what, and who else, he might be tempted to give away.  Activities during that transitional node between Dulles and Helms, when McCone was kept out of the loop.

IMHO opinion, Colby's death is a murder. It looked as if he might sing like a canary. My interpretation is that during this uproar around the JFKA records, he was told what happened and why he needed to suppress that information, and it didn't sit well with him. He is CIA director from 73-76. GHWB succeeds him.

Porter Goss:

Goss attended Yale University, where he was a member of the secret society Book and Snake. He was also a member of the Psi Upsilon fraternity with William H.T. Bush, the brother of George H.W. Bush.[921] At Yale, Goss joined the Army Reserve Officers Training (ROTC) program and, during his junior year in 1961, was recruited by the CIA.

Over the next few years he was based at JM/WAVE, the CIA station in Miami where he worked with famous deep state operatives such as Ted Shackley. In a 2002 interview with The Washington Post, Goss stated that he performed “small-boat handling,” leading to “some very interesting moments in the Florida Straits.”[922]

It has been reported that Goss was one of the hundreds of CIA officers employed in Operation Mongoose, the covert U.S. project to displace Cuban leader Fidel Castro.[923] Vince Cannistraro, who was a CIA agent at JM/WAVE, claimed that Goss “was involved in the Bay of Pigs operation, he worked out of Miami with Cuban exiles... and took part in... attempts to overthrow Castro.”[924]

Goss later acknowledged that he had recruited and run foreign agents and he said that he would be uncomfortable traveling to Cuba.[925] Reuters called him a “mystery man,” and said that he had been “close-mouthed about his past.”[926]

In an interview Goss claimed that during the 1962 Cuban missile crisis he worked for the CIA as a photo interpreter.[927] Wirt Walker’s father did the same kind of work for the CIA’s National Photographic Interpretation Center at the same time.[928]

Over the next decade, Goss worked for the CIA’s Directorate of Operations as a covert operative in Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Western Europe. His primary role was to infiltrate trade unions in the fight against the perceived threat of communism.[929]

In his book, Barry and the Boys, journalist Daniel Hopsicker published a photograph that he had received from the wife of CIA operative and drug-trafficker Barry Seal. Hopsicker claimed that the picture “was taken at a night-club in Mexico City on January 22, 1963” and included members of a team called Operation 40. One of these men, according to Hopsicker, was Porter Goss.[930]

Operation 40 was a CIA-sponsored team of operatives accused of conducting assassinations. According to a senior member of the Cuban security apparatus, it was funded by an “important group of businessmen headed by George Bush (Snr.) and Jack Crichton, both Texas oilmen.”[931] Operation 40 would assassinate military or political members of a target foreign country, as well as those suspected of being agents of those foreign countries.[932] There have even been suspicions that the group was involved in the assassination of President Kennedy.[933]
