Release of JFK Files Imminent

Post Reply New Topic

In what is the most sober, insightful interviews I've seen on the JFK assassination; author of "Last second in Dallas" Josiah Thomson lays out a indisputable case for Kennedy being assassinated by 2 and up to 3 assassins with the fatal shot coming from the now famous grassy knoll. Thomson has studied and published on the JFK assassination without pause since 1963 making it 62 years now. I was on the fence, but this video convinced me of a government conspiracy.

Thompson makes it clear the newly released JFK files will contain nothing new because they government conspired to keep the truth from the public.

I personally believe that if there had been a conspiracy, the perpetrators had been on the CIA'S payroll as contract agents and contacts, but not career agents involved in a secret war against Castro's Cuba. A great many were Cuban exiles, though there would have been Americans among them (primarily right wing paramilitary types and mercenaries, and elements of organized crime - which often overlapped with other categories), all of whom hated Kennedy almost as they hated Castro. These were the foot soldiers in the Bay of Pigs invasion, those who carried out guerilla warfare against Castro's Cuba, gun runners, as well as those who ran training camps. At this time, there was a partnership between the CIA, the Mafia, and right wing business interest to overthrow the Cuban communist government, and they weren't too choosy about who did the dirty work. Eventually, the Kennedy administration demanded the camps of the more rabid types be shutdown, and cut them loose. Well, these characters didn't just fade back into the woodwork, but continued on their operations with mob and right wing sponsorship. Lee Harvey Oswald had had associations with these very same Anti-Castro fanatics in New Orleans, a hub of the CIA's secret war, in particular with CIA and mob pilot David Ferrie (who Oswald had known in the New Orleans Civil Air Patrol prior to joining the Marines), and his boss, ex FBI higher up, ex Office of Naval Intelligence agent, and professional anti-communist Guy Banister, who ran training and gun running operations out of his private detective agency. Incidentally, Bannister's specialty was infiltrating agents into leftist organizations - - much like Oswald in the Fair Play For Cuba Committee. In fact, Oswald's Pro-Castro flyers had been printed in Bannister's office. Tehre of course were many others.
I could go on, but dinner's ready. I'll end with how the Warren Commission had ignored this information, even though they had much of it. It was only rediscovered by New Orleans District Attorney, Jim Garrison, who had conducted his own investigation into the assassination, culminating in the failed prosecution of New Orleans businessman and alleged Oswald associate, Clay Shaw (basis for the movie, JFK).
I believe the CIA hadn't itself been behind the assassination, but they had covered it up rather than admit that their own contract employees had been behind it.
But after writing all of this, I conclude... there won't be a smoking gun in those files, just maybe more questions.

As much as I'm interested in finding out the truth about the circumstances around JFK's death, I am more interested in finding out who wanted him to die and why. I doubt they will allow the releasing of any of that information as it would most likely implicate several very powerful people with possible treason. JFK was in the process of getting rid of the federal reserve, or at least appeared to, which made him enemies with the elite bankers who owned and controlled it then and now. They can definitely afford multiple assassins to insure the success of their desires.

Agree with all of the above points.

Thomson makes it clear it's highly unlikely the CIA or any other existing government agency would have risked an actual assassination of JFK and that other parties were involved (He would not volunteer whom?). And agree with what's being said that the CIA and FBI sought to cover up a) a lapse in security and b) inability to identify the shooters by pushing the lone gunman narrative which explain the eagerness of the Warren Commission to use every opportunity to pin the assassination on Oswald.

One thing to consider here, is that the JFK assassination coincided with an era covering almost 2 decades from 1961 - 1981 where there were multiple assassinations or assassination attempts on high profile leaders around the world. The killing of UN secretary general Dag Hammarskjöld in 1961 started this era which included the suspicious assassinations of JFK, Bobbie Kennedy, MLK and Malcolm X, and finished with the attempted assassination of Reagan in 1981.

Coincidentally prior to these assassinations, the US ran a covert program in involving using drugs to brainwash people between 1953 – 1964 which led to the idea the US were covertly training so called Manchurian candidates who were psyops brainwashed to undertake assassinations. Its almost as if the program wrapped up, the assassinations started.

Going back to the Josiah Thomson video, the evidence is highly compelling (infact undeniable) for the shooter in the grassy noll as being the one who made the fatal shot. Forensics collected by Thomson make it impossible for somebody in the book depository to have made the fatal shot on Kennedy based on pure ballistics.

Its a pity news outlets and journalists who covered the JFK consiracy for years like Geraldo Rivera stick dogmatically with the lone gunman being Oswald even though the evidence was already overwhelming even back in the 1960s, in 2025 its a joke the US government continues to play games with the constituents who elected them.

trumpy is talking out his farteye. he will not sign off on any major release of secret documents without major redactions. some secrets are forever.
