JFK assasination files won't be released until October 2021 (another Trump lie)

[OnlinePoker]

That's a firm commitment that Biden should make. 58 years is enough and there can be no "National Security" argument that could be made to justify delaying it again. If government agents were involved, so be it, but it's time to release all documents, unredacted.

1. Really all depends on who is mentioned in it.

[Srkdqltr]

2. I thought it was 80 years? That is what was said at the time.

Of course, that can change.

[hlthe2b]

3. Yes. I agree. Way past time for those records to be opened fully.

I do feel for Caroline, but she is certainly inured by now. I've never heard her views on this, but I tend to think she'd agree.

4. After "Operation Northwoods" was made public, I'm not...

... sure how it could be much worse.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods

Operation Northwoods was a proposed false flag operation against the Cuban government that originated within the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) of the United States government in 1962. The proposals called for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) or other U.S. government operatives to both stage and actually commit acts of terrorism against American military and civilian targets, blaming them on the Cuban government, and using it to justify a war against Cuba...

The proposals were rejected by President John F. Kennedy.

5. Who was on the Warren Commission? Set up to calm people

Decided pretty quickly Oswald acted alone, I remember thinking.

Much later, I remember being surprised by who was on it. Don't remember names now, but think Ford may have been on it

[dflprincess]

9. The Warren Commission began with the conclusion

that Oswald acted alone and it just had to come up with the story to "prove" it. If the official story was true it's hard to understand why anything would have to be sealed especially after all this time.

And yes, Ford was on it.

[stopbush]

12. Not true. I doubt you've read the Warren Report.

[elevator]

14. Ford was the FBI's man on the committe

and basically worked for them, instead of justice. Of course there were US intel, military people involved at some level or another. Not that the military, CIA, FBI et al were in on it, but individuals from them were for certain.

[stopbush]

6. Does it matter to the CTists? No matter how much solid evidence is presented

that Oswald acted alone, they will insist that every state, local and federal government entity, the mob, the Cubans the Russians and apparently 80% of the world population was in in the JFK killing. No amount of evidence will ever satisfy them.

The usual “lack of evidence is the proof of the conspiracy” bullshit.

10. People don't realize how truly weird that whole weekend was to those of us who lived through it

Suddenly we learn Kennedy has been shot.

Then with no time to process the information a somber voice announces 'The president has died.'

Then we watch LBJ and government people crammed into a plane going back to DC while LBJ is sworn in as the new president.

Then there are the views of Kennedy's body going to DC

Then WHAM out of the blue OSWALD IS SHOT

He was in police custody, for crying out loud!!! How was that even possible!!,

Well, no trial. No defence lawyers questioning evidence.

Then the funeral, the horse drawn carriages, the slow beat of the drums

I couldn't imagine that weekend would ever end.

Very hard to believe any explation is sufficient. A totally traumatizing, incredible event

[stopbush]

11. I remember that weekend. It was surreal.

[elevator]

16. I only remember a few words that my father said that entire weekend.

And that was when Ruby shot Oswald he said something like that tells you all you need to know right there.

[elevator]

15. Anyone who takes the time to read deeply into the evidence

that has been presented in books, documentaries and articles that doesn't accept that it was a conspiracy is willfully ignorant.

JFK, RFK, MLK were all assassinated by conspiracies.

[stopbush]

17. Have you read Bugliosi's book?

[bobbieinok]

7. Found out few yrs later that guy I dated in college was at the time intern where they took JFK

[Under The Radar]

8. For whatever reason that records were sealed...

Is there anyone left alive to with first hand knowledge that can dispute anything that is released? Will anyone be shock to learn of a government coverup?

[USALiberal]

13. Oswald did it, end of story. Nt
