Stone Says Trump Told Him the JFK Files Were “Horrible”

When he had the chance, PDJT should’ve declassified and released everything re the JFK assassination as he promised he would do. He was talked out of it and, IIRC, Pompeo was one of those people.

Maybe he kept a copy of everything, as was this right. Can he still release of he’s not on office now?

[MayflowerMadam]

“the intelligence agencies don’t want them released because it will possibly expose sources and methods.”

Has nothing to do with sources and methods. It has to do with humiliation. That’s why Pompeo talked him out of releasing the files.

The “horrible” is that the CIA/FBI continuously gas light people into doing these things. Oswald did it, but he wasn’t the only one the CIA/FBI was gaslighting into doing it. There could have been, and probably were, dozens more people they were working on to commit the shooting. Gaslighting lets them keep arms distance from the perps, but provides significant control over their actions. Oswald was an easy patsy. He wanted to do something like this, so they only needed to guide him into it.

You mean Oliver Stone?

He does make some good movies.

Roger Stone wrote a book “The men who killed Kennedy” and it is very compelling

"60 years after the fact, how much could sources and methods matter - even if that was real, and not just an excuse to cover up nefarious crimes and corruption?"

Sources and methods may be irrelevant with regards to individuals, but not with generational cabals and hereditary positions.

Oswald did it, but he wasn’t the only one the CIA/FBI was gaslighting into doing it.

The Italian rifle found on the sixth floor of the book depository most likely belonged to Oswald. It matched the rifle he ordered by mail. Oswald's palm print was found on the barrel of the rifle. And the rifle matches an eariler selfie photo Oswald took with the rifle.

But he most likely did not fire the weapon on 22 November 1963. Consider these facts:

1. Oswald's paraffin test on the day of the assassination did not reveal gunpowder residue on his face. The absence of significant quantities of residues on Oswald’s cheek meant that he almost certainly had not fired a rifle that day.

The FBI’s message to the Warren Commission stated that “as a result of these [neutron activation analysis] examinations, the deposits found on the paraffin casts from the hands and cheek of Oswald could not be specifically associated with the rifle cartridges”

2. The US Army and the FBI both tested the rifle on behalf of the Warren Commission, and found it to be unreliable and inaccurate. The rifle was in such a poor condition that it needed to be repaired before it could be tested. In its original condition, it could not have been fired accurately.

- Shims had to be applied to the telescopic sight before the rifle could be aimed.
- Even after the telescopic sight had been repaired, it proved unreliable and inaccurate.
- The condition of both the bolt and the trigger pull meant that the rifle could not be aimed accurately.

3. Five of the six witnesses who saw a man on the sixth floor of the TSBD were able to describe his clothing. All of them said that he was wearing light–colored clothes:

- Howard Brennan: “He had on light colored clothing”; “Light colored clothes, more of a khaki color”.
- Arnold Rowland: “He had on a light shirt, a very light–colored shirt, white or a light blue or a color such as that. This was open at the collar. I think it was unbuttoned about halfway, and then he had a regular T–shirt, a polo shirt under this”.
- Carolyn Walther: “a white shirt”.
Ronald Fischer: “light in color; probably white … it was open–neck and light in color”.
- Robert Edwards: “light colored shirt, short sleeve and open neck”.

Oswald did not wear a light–coloured shirt with an open neck on the day of the assassination. At the time of his arrest, Oswald was wearing a brown shirt over a white T–shirt, and dark trousers.
