The tortured path that began with a left turn onto Dealey Plaza on Nov. 22, 1963, will find its unlikely end point this October in College Park, Md. At a National Archives annex, the last remaining documents related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy are being readied for release.
Under the terms of the 1992 JFK Records Act–a result of Oliver Stone’s 1991 movie JFK, which revived fascination with the idea of a cover-up–the government was given 25 years to make public all related files. The time is up on Oct. 26, 2017. About 3,000 never-before-seen documents, along with 34,000 previously redacted files, are scheduled for release.
The files–many of which trace back to the House Select Committee on Assassinations from the 1970s–promise to be less about second shooters and grassy knolls and more about what the government, particularly the CIA, might have known about assassin Lee Harvey Oswald before Kennedy’s death. Already, the law has helped fill out one of the most significant periods of the 20th century, revealing information on military plots to invade Cuba; Kennedy’s plans to execute a withdrawal of U.S. forces from Vietnam; and the formation of the Warren Commission, which investigated the assassination.
According to the National Archives, the final batch includes information on the CIA’s station in Mexico City, where Oswald showed up weeks before JFK’s death; 400 pages on E. Howard Hunt, the Watergate burglary conspirator who said on his deathbed that he had prior knowledge of the assassination; and testimony from the CIA’s James Angleton, who oversaw intelligence on Oswald. The documents could also provide information on a CIA officer named George Joannides, who directed financial dealings with an anti-Castro group whose members had a public fight with Oswald on the streets of New Orleans in the summer of 1963.

Maybe we will learn more about the 11/2/63 planned attempt on JFK in Chicago, and the 11/18/63 attempt in Tampa. Both were discovered and broken up. Dallas on 11/22/63 was attempt number 3 that month.
If you choose to believe Ion Pacepa, the whole Soviet communist bloc was in on it.

Not expecting one milligram of truth to escape.

The actual release date is not until October 26, 2017.
Poppy forced Cruzwald to get out in Indiana.
LOL!, I was thinking Henry Winkler?!..............
I bought a book about 30 years ago on the assassination of JFK but I can’t remember the title. about a 1/4 of the way through it the authors claimed that Reagan was responsible for it! I threw it in the trash.
An opportunity to see where the father of Ted Cruz fits into the puzzle.
He was CIA Director for only a year in the 76-77 period..............
Bush did it.
Anything not related to the rise of The Alinsky Stalinist mindset in the democrat party is bogus.
I would rather have Assange make the leak... it would be more believable than this officiality pomp release.
You're saying you know Who was on the grassy knoll?
That's right.
So, Who was the assassin?
That's what I'm saying.
No, that's what I'm asking. Who was on the knoll?
Absolutely!
I believe this was the plot of the movie EXECUTIVE ACTION back in 1973.

"OLWALD! LEE HARVEY OSWALD!"
Although, my first thought was that most of people were dead. Arlen "Magic Bullet" Specter was the first of the last to come to mind.
“It’s just interesting to me that we’re still dealing with this as a country 54 years later.”
That alone has meaning. Nobody has reasonable doubts about Lincoln, Garfield, Reagan, etc. But the mass of the country has a very strong sense that the JFK story is pure cold war BS from our intelligence agencies.
The details might never be known exactly, but the story they told us is clearly a bit much.
GHW Bush was an oil company exec in Texas during that period................
“He was CIA Director for only a year in the 76-77 period..............”
He had a long record of involvement with the CIA before that. And charmingly, he is the only person in America who cannot remember where he was when JFK was shot.
He was in a hotel room with a hooker?......................
Oswald did it, end of story.
>>Oswald did it, end of story.
