Could there be security information hidden in those files that are not directly connected to the assassination? Possible but not likely that there are issues really detrimental to the function of the US government right now in 2013. There could be certain individuals named that are still alive but not active in government who could be in danger. But the fact that there are hidden files is a real indication of something we're not meant to know until it is revealed to clarify history for future generations.

I'm not an advocate for keeping those files secret; I think they need to be open to public scrutiny for the purpose of having a government that is the people's, not a government that exercises an exclusive power above us, without us. That kind of power makes democracy a sham. My personal desire is to know what's in those files, but that is neither here nor there.

My only post on the JFK assassination [View all] scheming daemons Nov 2013 OP

There is probably so much more in those files than who killed JFK. morningfog Nov 2013 #1

if you can think of reasons, present a plausible one scheming daemons Nov 2013 #3

Yeah, damage like learning that our own government killed our president. n/t GoneFishin Nov 2013 #8

LOL, like the government did 911? Logical Nov 2013 #35

Different topic. Nice bait attempt though. n/t GoneFishin Nov 2013 #60

That TPTB will not let the public know how 9-11 really played out speaks volumes imo indepat Nov 2013 #61

Are those reasons consistent with keeping Oswald's tax returns secret? Zen Democrat Nov 2013 #11

Well how about sharing a reason? You say you think of some. KittyWampus Nov 2013 #12

Agreed. There are probably CIA & FBI operational secrets in those files stopbush Nov 2013 #18

Here's the answer to your question: Th1onein Nov 2013 #21

Thanks for the link. But why be so selective in your quoting? stopbush Nov 2013 #26

I'm not being selective. And your quotes, including the bolded one, just proved my point. Th1onein Nov 2013 #27

The point is that everything is scheduled to be released in 2017, as the article points out. stopbush Nov 2013 #29

You believe everything that comes from "authority," don't you? Th1onein Nov 2013 #30

and whoever impersonated "Oswald" in the Mexico City phone call, presumably also acted alone. Warren DeMontague Nov 2013 #9

The impersonator is bottom right, without his 'stache Holly_Hobby Nov 2013 #62

Very logical post. defacto7 Nov 2013 #10

Sorry, don't understand what your post specifically refers to A-Schwarzenegger Nov 2013 #33

"and informants" Spider Jerusalem Nov 2013 #52

if Oswald acted alone... what informants? scheming daemons Nov 2013 #54

The ones who would've told the US government that Cuba and the Soviet Union et al weren't involved? Spider Jerusalem Nov 2013 #56

I remember hearing that the files wouldn't be opened until 100 years after the event. Kablooie Nov 2013 #22

LOL, because you cannot think of a reason means there are none? Classic! nt Logical Nov 2013 #36

Can you think of a reason? JDPriestly Nov 2013 #41
