Ok so here's the game we're playing. I post evidence below (which I'm about to do).

Then you claim that what I posted is not "really solid facts" because nothing will meet that impossible threshold especially not a crime that's been covered up for 50+ years, with many of the relevant documents either destroyed or classified by the same government that overthrew the legitimate government in 1963. And besides, you are the official decider of what is a "really solid fact" so you'll declare everything to be really un-solid.

But sure. Let's play! (After all you did say "please" so your manners are impeccable.)

Motives for the 1963 Coup

After President Kennedy was violently removed from office by the government coup his policies were reversed.

The policy reversals highlight the motives for his murder.

Here are six examples:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1-President Kennedy evolved into, per his words, a "peace at any price president"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yet he was surrounded by cold warrior chiefs of staff, in particular Gen. Curtis LeMay, Air Force chief of staff, who was the inspiration for the satirical insane character of General Jack D. Ripper in the 1964 movie "Dr. Strangelove."
LBJ quickly abandoned all of JFK’s strides towards peace.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2-President Kennedy was ending the Cold War with Russia
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While JFK's generals urged the dropping of nuclear bombs PREEMPTIVELY on Russia, JFK repeatedly made peaceful overtures to Chairman Khrushchev, epitomized by his 1963 speech at American University to curb nuclear arms in which he said:
“I have, therefore, chose this time and this place to discuss a topic on which ignorance too often abounds and the truth is to rarely perceived - - yet it is the most important topic on earth : world peace.
…
What kind of peace do I mean? What kind of peace do we seek? Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war. Not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave. I am talking about genuine peace - - the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living -- the kind that enables man and nations to grow and to hope and to build a better life for their children - - not merely peace for Americans by peace for all men and women - - not merely peace in our time but peace for all time.
...
For, in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal.”
He made a 1961 speech at the UN where he proposed a “peace race”:
“It is therefore our intention to challenge the Soviet Union, not to an arms race, but to a peace race--to advance together step by step, stage by stage, until general and complete disarmament has been achieved. We invite them now to go beyond agreement in principle to reach agreement on actual plans.”

And he made yet another speech at the UN in 1963 he suggested a joint US/Russia moon mission:

“Finally, in a field where the United States and the Soviet Union have a special capacity-in the field of space--there is room for new cooperation, for further joint efforts in the regulation and exploration of space. I include among these possibilities a joint expedition to the moon. Space offers no problems of sovereignty; by resolution of this Assembly, the members of the United Nations have forsworn any claim to territorial rights in outer space or on celestial bodies, and declared that international law and the United Nations Charter will apply. Why, therefore, should man's first flight to the moon be a matter of national competition? Why should the United States and the Soviet Union, in preparing for such expeditions, become involved in immense duplications of research, construction, and expenditure? Surely we should explore whether the scientists and astronauts of our two countries--indeed of all the world--cannot work together in the conquest of space, sending some day in this decade to the moon not the representatives of a single nation, but the representatives of all of our countries.”

All this while his military team vehemently demanded nuclear war against Russia.
LBJ immediately ceased reaching out to Russia.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3-President Kennedy was withdrawing from Vietnam
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

President Kennedy ordered the withdrawal of all US troops from Vietnam in National Security Action Memorandum (NSAM) 263, which approved the recommendations of the McNamara-Taylor report to remove troops.

Four days after President Kennedy's assassination new President Johnson reversed that order by issuing National Security Action Memorandum 273, which kept US troops in Vietnam.

In fact the draft of NSAM 273 was done less than 24 hours after President Kennedy's assassination. Clearly it was a top priority.

Of course the military, CIA and US corporations wanted to stay in Vietnam for many reasons, not the least of which was profit.

Johnson backers Brown and Root and Bell Helicopter became very rich, compensating them many times over for their investment in Johnson.

By 1969 Bell Helicopter Corporation was selling nearly $600 million worth of helicopters to the United States Military.

According to author Robert Bryce: "Vietnam made Bell Helicopters"
Brown & Root was the principal source of campaign funds for Johnson's initial run for Congress in 1937, and they expected a lot in return.

See Robert A. Caro's book "The Path to Power" for more details.
Today, Brown & Root is called Kellogg, Brown & Root a Halliburton subsidiary better known as KBR.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4-Kennedy made peaceful overtures to Castro
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the same time US businesses and the CIA (two sides of the same coin) wanted embargoes against Cuba to punish Castro for nationalizing US assets, Kennedy was negotiating with Castro to normalize relations.
After JFK’s murder Castro repeatedly tried to open lines of communication with LBJ, only to be ignored.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5-Kennedy was pro-union
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kennedy was pro-union, which is blasphemy in a predatory capitalist environment like the US that considers labor unions public enemy number 1.
Kennedy sided with the Steel Worker's Union over US Steel corporation after a tense negotiation and stand off against between in 1962, forcing US Steel to lower prices.
LBJ never opposed big business in favor of worker’s rights.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6-Kennedy wanted to eliminate tax breaks for the wealthy
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On 17th January, 1963, President Kennedy presented his proposals for tax reform. This included relieving the tax burdens of low-income and elderly citizens. Kennedy also claimed he wanted to remove special privileges and loopholes. He even said he wanted to do away with the oil depletion allowance. It is estimated that the proposed removal of the oil depletion allowance would result in a loss of around $300 million a year to Texas oilmen.

Texas oilmen were infuriated at the pending loss of the oil depletion allowance.
After the assassination of Kennedy, President Lyndon B. Johnson dropped the government plans to remove the oil depletion allowance. Richard Nixon followed his example and it was not until the arrival of Jimmy Carter that the oil depletion allowance was removed.

W. D. Hamilton, one of the most respected and famous evolutionary biologists of the 20th century, said that he was 95% certain the AIDS epidemic in Africa was a direct result of Koprowski's experimental vaccine.

While Koprowski has denied again and again that he used chimpanzees (the carriers of SIV) in the production of his polio vaccine, this claim has been proven false with surviving video footage and witness testimony.

Here's an excerpt from this book:

>From 1957 to 1960, after years of tinkering with monkey kidneys and polio germs, Dr. Hilary Koprowski tested his own experimental polio vaccine on 325,000 equatorial Africans, including 75,000 citizens of Leopoldville, Belgian Congo. 98% of the vaccine recipients were infants and toddlers. The youngest children received 15 times the adult dosage. Though Koprowski claimed he had the backing of the World Health Organization, WHO denied sanctioning the large-scale trials.

>In 1959, Dr. Albert Sabin reported in the British Medical Journal that Koprowski's polio vaccine used in the African trials contained an "unidentified" cell-killing virus. It was never identified. However, in 1986 the earliest known blood cample containing antibodies against HIV was traced back to 1959. The serum came from a patient visiting a clinic in Leopoldville.

>Koprowski's vaccine was not approved for human use, so it was discontinued in 1960 following the African trials. Thus, it was only administered to inhabitants of the Belgian Congo, Rwanda and Burundi--the precise area where high levels of HIV infection were identified by researched 30 years later. Furthermore, the AIDS virus is known to infect mucous cells, prevalent in the mouth. The African vaccines were squirted into people's mouths.

Not rigged, it is how systems work. 42 movies grossed more than the rest of movies, 42 songs grossed more than rest of the songs, 42 diseases killed more than the rest of the diseases. Not exact figures, but close enough. You should probably read The 80/20 Principle.

To reiterate my commentary from the other sub:

Should make for interesting conversation in TI (targeted individual) community. I can see the potential use as of this technology to disarm hostile forces in combat zones, as well as the myriad if not countless ways this could be abused by the intelligence community to target and harass dissidents, hypothetically of course.

Although this isn't the first instance of such V2K (voice-to-skull) technology, so much as it is the first instance of this technology using lasers to create a ball of plasma to create said V2K effect.

One more interesting anecdote, from Michael Aquino's 'MindWar' paper, authored while working in the US Army's PSYOPs division (ca. 1980):
