What Are They Hiding? Govt. Releases More than 13,000 Documents Related to JFK Assassination – But FBI-CIA are Still Withholding 3% of the Documents
Gateway Pundit ^ | Published December 15, 2022 at 5:38pm | By Jim Hoft

In 2017 President Trump approved the release of approximately 2800 long-classified JFK assassination records.

News outlets from around the globe furiously combed through the files in search of more pieces to the puzzling death of President John F. Kennedy.

President Trump released a second trove of documents later that year.

One of the documents revealed that Democrat President Lyndon Johnson was a KKK member.

This was not a surprise. The Ku Klux Klan was founded as the activist wing of the Democratic Party.

On Thursday the National Archives released thousands of the JFK documents.

But the FBI-CIA would not allow the release of all of the documents. Around 3% of the JFK documents are still being withheld from release to the public — more than 50 years after the assassination.

What are they hiding?

Insider Paper reported:

A new trove of secret files related to the November 1963 assassination of US president John F. Kennedy was released on Thursday, but the White House held thousands of documents back, citing national security concerns.

The Warren Commission that investigated the shooting of the charismatic 46-year-old president determined that it was carried out by a former Marine sharpshooter, Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone.

That formal conclusion has done little, however, to quell speculation that a more sinister plot was behind Kennedy’s November 22, 1963 murder in Dallas, Texas, and the painstaking release of the government files has added fuel to various conspiracy theories.

The National Archives said a total of 13,173 documents had been made public on Thursday in the latest release, and that 97 percent of the Kennedy records — which total approximately five million pages — have now been made public.

President Joe Biden said in a memorandum that a “limited” number of documents would continue to be held back at the request of unspecified “agencies.”

Previous requests to withhold documents have come from the Central Intelligence Agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Just a question:

Has anybody written about the possible motives of CIA or the Deep State for assassinating JFK?

Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone and there is no evidence to lead to any other conclusion.

My takeaway, after 40 years of close study of every new twist and information release.

1. Lee Harvey Oswald was a fervent, dedicated Communist lunatic that was so nuts even the USSR deported him back to the USA.

2. It was well known by the FBI that he was a dedicated raving Communist lunatic.

3. Oswald traveled by bus all the way to Mexico City just before the assassinations and basically rang the bell on the gates of the Cuban and Russian embassies, trying to get a visa to move to Cuba. It appears he was rejected, his lunacy well known to both countries. Both embassies had CIA watch-stations across the street filming every single person going in and out for espionage links etc. Every person entering is logged and checked out. They knew Oswald, the defector to the USSR who returned to Texas, visited both embassies. This should have been a bright red rocket getting their attention, with “flash” notices to the FBI to keep an eye on Oswald at a minimum.

4. He returned to Dallas and to his conveniently located job at the Dallas Book Depository, which conveniently turned out to have the perfect sniper’s location for the JFK motorcade. He turned down better paying jobs to keep the Dallas Book Depository job.

Conclusion A — The Best Look:
The CIA, FBI and Secret Service are even after 60 years covering up their gross incompetence in not scooping up this high-profile fervent Communist lunatic, who was extremely pissed at JFK over the Bay of Pigs etc. They are to this day afraid to let the American people know what incompetent clowns they were in real life, at the height of the Cold War, right after the Bay of Pigs and Cuban Missile Crisis.

Conclusion B — The Worst Look: They knew or strongly suspected that Oswald wanted to kill JFK. “Somebody” (very likely Oswald) had tried to assassinate retired Major General Edwin Walker, and ardent anti-Communist, with the same 6.5mm rifle in April of 1963.

Oswald was on the radars of the CIA, FBI and Secret Service. They pretended not to notice him, even though there were many connections between the intel agencies and Oswald. The motorcade route passing under the Book Depository was even published in the local newspapers. The CIA/FBI nexus let Oswald take the shots.

See #4.

There is another option between “Oswald acted alone” and “The CIA killed JFK.”

Conclusion 3: Someone named Bush doesn’t want it released.

Lots of 'theories', not much in way of facts. According to leftist Oliver Stone, JFK was planning on pulling all the US troops out of Vietnam and ending the Cold War. So the CIA who believed JFK was a traitor, killed him.

It’s a Government of the Government, by the Government, for the Government.

JFK and Trump weren’t in for this part.

Because both agencies were involved in the assassination.

Everything old is new again. In Ancient Rome, the Praetorian Guard, initially charged with protecting the emperor, soon learned with their power that they could control the emperor, then direct the selection of the emperor. Later, with their power unchecked, they were responsible for assassinating several emperors who displeased them or who challenged their authority. The guard dog eventually eats the owner.

What are they hiding?

Second gunman on the grassy knoll.

Lee Harvey Oswald was a CIA sleeper agent.

Jack Ruby was another CIA sleeper agent.

The hit was ordered by Johnson or his Texas Mafia

“possible motives of CIA or the Deep State for assassinating JFK?”

There are dozens of books that touch on the subject.

A few motives:

(1) JFK fired Allen Dulles as CIA chief and installed one of his own lackies. JFK vowed to destroy CIA “operations” capabilities after the Bay of Pigs fiasco.

(2) JFK refused to allow Israel to get nuclear weapons capability as he opposed nuclear proliferation. Mossad and the CIA had very close ties—mostly importantly with the Chief of Counterintelligence James Jesus Angleton.
(More info on this here: https://www.deepstateblog.org/2019/03/09/in-honor-of-james-angelton-founding-father-of-the-cia-mossad-alliance/)

(3) On a more personal note, JFK had an affair with the wife of the CIA’s London Chief of Station. As Chucky Shumer said, the Deep State has many ways to get back at you....

(4) The Latin American branch of the CIA blamed JFK for the Bay of Pigs fiasco and were quite open about vowing revenge.

(5) The CIA had worked as an ally of the mob with attempts to kill Castro. RFK kidnapped Carlos Marcello (New Orleans mob boss), put him on a helicopter, and deported him by aerial drop into the jungles of Guatemala. Marcello eventually made it back to New Orleans and was caught in an FBI intercepted phone call to Miami mob boss Trafficante saying “get that stone out of my shoe”. So—the CIA would also be assisting its “friends” in an act of revenge.

Why would Biden notsign off to release all the documents?

Answer: The CIA and FBI have him by his balls.

Many times.

Read up on the Bay of Pigs and how the CIA lost operatives, lost face and were more than bitter because JFK pulled promised US military support from the effort to end Castro’s rule.

That’s an easy one. JFK got on TV with Walter Cronkite on afternoon and state publicly his policy was to pull out f Vietnam if the current president couldn’t get the corruption under control. He said it was their war, we won’t fight it. Bubbabing, he’s shot several months later.
