CIA Split into 1000 Pieces

John F. Kennedy was reportedly frustrated with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) following the failed Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961, an operation planned and executed by the agency. According to historical accounts and declassified documents, Kennedy expressed a strong desire to reorganize or dismantle the CIA due to its perceived incompetence and misleading assessments regarding the invasion's potential success. One of the most cited expressions of this frustration is the alleged quote where Kennedy stated he wanted to "splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds".

This sentiment was not only a reflection of Kennedy's personal frustration but also led to actual discussions about reorganizing the CIA. For instance, Kennedy convened a meeting of the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board (PFIAB) in May 1961 to explore options for restructuring the agency.

Despite these intentions, Kennedy did not follow through with a complete dismantling of the CIA. Instead, he made some personnel changes, such as firing CIA Director Allen Dulles and his deputy Richard Bissell, and appointed his brother, Robert Kennedy, to oversee covert operations through the Special Group Augmented.

The quote itself has been referenced in various forums and publications, including a Reddit post on r/AskHistorians and a Quora question, where users and contributors discussed the authenticity and context of the quote.

Additionally, the quote has appeared in articles and books, such as Vincent Bugliosi's "Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy," which notes that the quote is often attributed to Kennedy but lacks a direct, confirmed source.

• there is video confirmation if anyone wants to search it up.

In summary, while the exact wording of the quote may be apocryphal, it encapsulates Kennedy's dissatisfaction with the CIA following the Bay of Pigs and his subsequent efforts to reform the agency's structure and oversight.

Kennedy knew, and tried to tell us. But they never imagined he started things rolling. They've tried waking us up many times. I remember the children's pictures on milk cartons eating breakfast before school. 1 of many times they've tried.
