Because the US government has been captured by Organized Crime. Look up the documentary Everything is a Rich Man's Trick. Then look into all the connections between the mafia and the presidents of the USA.

Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes as of late: “You’re just saying ‘okay, the world is run by idiots,’ and I would say ‘no, the world is run by professional criminals.’ If you think it’s all by incompetence at this point, how come everything is so coordinated between all these guys with these policy agendas if it’s all just ‘by-chance incompetence?’” — Whitney Webb

  It's the deepest rabbit hole I've ever found and there's tons of receipts. The mafia actually formed something called The Commission which was basically their own Congress.

What’s the big deal with the film? JFK is a bigger deal because he didn’t survive. Otherwise his assassination is one amongst many. Whether or not there is this conspiracy going on, how much different would things be if the opposite really happened? I don’t think much would be diff. Very important assassinations like MLK and Malcolm X would still happen. Capitalism being the primary “thing” in all American’s lives would still be a thing. Liberalism would still make the government a tool for private capital/capitalism as it is now. Whether or not the US government is captured by Organized Crime seems unimportant. The deepest rabbit hole one could find these days in why the world sucks would be investigating capitalism, neoliberalism, and imperialism.
