I once read (Don DeLillo?):

The John F. Kennedy assassination could not have been a conspiracy, some conspirator would have spoken sooner or later (maybe on his/her death bed).

This is obviously not a lone perpetrator, so the truth will come out.

But it may take decades, e.g.:

JFK was one of many contemporaneous high-profile political assassinations that share a common theme -- those assassinated were strong leaders that basically opposed the global ambitions of the growing transatlantic military-industrial-white-supremacist complex.

JFK, RFK, Dag Hammarskjöld, MLK, Malcom X, Patrice Lumumba, Thomas Sankara, et al. to just name a few.

When you put it all together in historical context, it seems improbable that these were random unrelated events that just happen to advance the interests of a very powerful class that felt victimized by the end of European imperialism/American slavery and the rise of Communism and the Global South.

Otto Skorzeny is emblematic of the character that was central to this history.
