FBI knows who shot President JFK. "What difference does it make, now?"

Does it make a difference to me? I was in Junior High School, in Houston Texas. The assassination of JFK has never helped me trust the United States of  America, Inc. Not only POTUS was assassinated but Robert Kennedy,



1963 The biggest news from 1963 was the assassination of the US President Kennedy on November 22nd which thrust Lyndon Johnson into the role of president and the murder two days later of Lee Harvey Oswald by nightclub owner Jack Ruby. 



Vietnam where the Viet Cong Guerrillas had now killed 80 American Advisers.



Campaign for civil rights by the "colored people" caused violent reactions from whites including Mississippi, Virginia, and Alabama where the black civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr was arrested.

More Information for President Tito.
The nation of Yugoslavia became the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in April of 1963 and the country’s leader, Josip Broz Tito, was named as the “President for Life.” The changes to the European nation’s name and Tito’s authority were a part of several socialist reforms added into the country’s constitution during that year. With his increased authority, Tito relaxed many religious and political restrictions and helped to improve the economy by encouraging foreign tourism and the expansion of private enterprise. Tito was generally liked by the people and was commended for going against Soviet-era communism and developing a successful form of socialism. Tito died in 1980 and the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia broke up in 1992.
