I’ve been hearing from news reporters for major news organizations, who ask, “What’s in the new JFK files? Is there a smoking gun?”
The answer is no. There is no one piece of evidence in the 113,00 pages of JFK records scheduled to be released by October 26, 2017, that will change people’s minds...
But the new JFK files, if released in their entirety, will fill in the two key gaps in the JFK assassination story that have long been obscured by government misconduct, official secrecy, and lazy journalism.
Think of the JFK assassination story as an incomplete mosaic. The new files help complete the picture in two ways.
The new files shed light on the CIA’s use of Lee Oswald for intelligence purposes before November 22, 1963. They also illuminate the illegal actions of government officials to conceal the CIA’s manipulation of Oswald and its plot to kill Fidel Castro in late 1963....
The CIA’s Use of Oswald:
The new files strengthen the claim–long denied by the CIA and mainstream news organizations–that the agency used accused assassin Lee Oswald for intelligence purposes.
Part of the story was brought to light the JFK review board in the 1990s when they released, a complete version of one of the agency’s many pre-assassination cables on Oswald. It was prepared by Jame Angleton’s Counterintelligence Staff on October 10, 1963.
More of the story is coming in the testimony of Orest Pena, a New Orleans bar owner who said he saw Oswald in the company of a senior FBI agents in the summer of 1963. The Pena testimony was not included in the first batch of National Archives releases last week.
The newly-declassified financial records of the CIA front group, the Cuban Revolutionary Council, are also relevant, as Larry explains at The New JFK Show Blog. In his turn as a public supporter of Castro in the summer of 1963, Oswald had repeated contacts with people associated with the CRC. I will be writing more about these records in comings weeks.
Meanwhile, intelligence historian John Newman has already begun to use the new files to develop the granular knowledge of CIA covert operations and cryptonyms necessary to tell this story.
The Criminal Cover-up:
The JFK release last week includes a great deal of material about Russian defector Yuri Nosenko, who claimed to have seen Oswald’s KGB file. The veracity of Nosenko’s claims in the face of CIA interrogation is a key issue that requires deeper analysis, as Newsweek has already reported.
Key documents to come include the still-unreleased testimony of Angleton to the Church Committee on September 12, 1975.
Also important are the operational files of CIA officers hostile to JFK who were involved in assassination operations including Bill Harvey, David Phillips, and Howard Hunt.
None of these files were included in the first Archives release.
Uh, no.
Based on what I’ve just read, Newman has uncovered some pretty amazing facts regarding the CIA’s relationship with LHO. He spoke at a conference in 1999, whereby the whole Oswald Trip to Mexico City at the Cuban or Russian Embassy gets shredded.
Less than 24 hrs of LHO being declared the ‘lonewolf’ the CIA begins misplacing or erasing tapes from their office in Mexico and denying access to photographic evidence.
“The CIA never released the photos from the special “pulse camera” which they had just installed to watch the Cuban Consulate, shortly before Oswald’s visit.
Worse, when the HSCA asked for the “pulse camera” photos, the CIA replied, falsely, that this camera had not been in operation until three months later. See Lopez report, 13-30; footnote 363 on p. A-25, as quoted in Deep Politics II: Essays on Oswald, Mexico, and Cuba, (Grand Prairie, JFK Lancer, 1998, 2nd Printing). p. 9]

All the doctors who actually attended JFK said the autopsy photos were consistent with what they saw in the operating room. Crenshaw was a publicity hound.
Lol wut? Those guys don’t accidentally discharge their weapons.
It was not a 100 yard shot. It was an 81 yard shot.
We wouldn’t have needed a non-entity like Oswald. At the time all of this was going on we had a mole who was routinely in personal contact with the top leadership of the Kremlin. Morris Childs, a CPUSA official, who secretly began working for the FBI in 1958. He was our most valuable spy during the entire Cold War.
Childs was in fact in Moscow when Kennedy was assassinated. Through him we know the reaction of the Soviet leaders- they were as shocked as we were and were trying to come up with who they thought must have done it.
Oswald’s love of Communism wasn’t an act. He was fascinated with Russia and had been haranguing his fellow Marines with communist propaganda while he was in the service- they hung the name ‘Osvaldovich’ on him. This was 1956-59, before he moved to Russia and applied for citzenship, which they denied, although they allowed him to live there.
The conspiracy nuts will immediately demand the release of the “real files”. You know, the ones that prove a conspiracy.
You're right. When they do it, they call it a negligent discharge.
Too bad Freeper “leadpenny” isn’t around anymore to discus this JFK thread.
2009. I was 62 yo. Elk hunt. M1A standard grade with military sights. Reloaded 7.62 for hunting. 84 yards to the four inch wide neck at the base of the skull. (That was all that was presented.) Five degree downhill shot with the animal walking straight towards me. Standing, off-hand with no sling assist. Bullseye. Sight picture when the round went off was perfect.
Luck or training? Both. My point being I cannot dismiss Oswald based solely upon his prior lack of ability and his equipment. It was only a hundred yards or so and the rifle was scoped. Look for information regarding accuracy of that rifle when test fired after the fact. Was it?
Don’t hold your breath. His days look very limited based upon his appearance. In the documentation, Bush is likely referred to by some obscure cryptonym anyway and has no reputation for terminal work.
However, he was very involved with the Cuban ex-pats & Operation Mongoose, BoPigs. That much we know for a fact. And those men surface more than anecdotally in a cursory search in the existing JFK research records. Those guys were itching to retaliate and did not need any coaxing, just the golden opportunity. Same for the mob enemies.
I've long thought that Kennedy and Castro were trying to have the other killed. Castro won.
Wasn’t there a book pushing that theory? That has always sounded plausible to me based on Occam’s razor. If there really was something explosive being covered up, then wouldn’t you think that either a right-wing (Nixon, Reagan) or left-wing (Clinton, Obama) administration would want the truth exposed? Saving this guy’s family from disgrace sounds like the only argument for keeping quiet that everyone would agree to. Especially since its revelation would not advance any cause one way or the other.
Thank you. Very interesting. The question I have is, why would the CIA or others want to assassinate President Kennedy? I have heard rumors that he was going to expose the Federal Reserve and the central banks’ crimes.
I saw the film on Netflix a few years back...
Was John F. Kennedy Accidentally Shot And Killed By A Secret Service Agent?
No laughing matter...
A new documentary makes the startling claim that former president John F. Kennedy was shot and killed by a Secret Service agent by accident.
The documentary titled “JFK: The Smoking Gun” claims that George Hickey, a Secret Service agent riding in the car behind Kennedy, accidentally fired his weapon on Nov. 22, 1963.
The new documentary is based on the work of Colin McLaren, a veteran police detective who has undertaken a four-year investigation into the killing of Kennedy.
Have you watched the Zapruder film? Looks like the had shot was from the rear with blood gushing out of his face.
had = head
And to further undermine their legitimacy.
Russia, Russia, Russia ... Uranium One... Whose side are they on? ... Not ours.
Yep, they’re corrupt and we’re supposed live in ignorance or pretend like we don’t care, forever.
And under FOIA, do they alter those docs prior to release, IDK.
