The call was about first contact with extraterrestrials but the whole world was too distracted to pay attention."

A British newspaper received an anonymous phone call about "big news" in the United States minutes before President John F. Kennedy was shot, newly released files on the assassination say.
A batch of 2,800 declassified documents includes a memo from the CIA to the director of the FBI, dated Nov. 26, 1963, about a call received by the Cambridge News on Nov. 22, the day Kennedy was killed in Dallas.
The memo from deputy CIA Director James Angleton says the caller said that "the Cambridge News reporter should call the American Embassy in London for some big news, and then hung up."
The memo says Britain's MI5 intelligence service calculated that the call came 25 minutes before Kennedy was shot.
It said the reporter who took the call "is known to them as a sound and loyal person with no security record."
The memo was released by the U.S. National Archives in July but went unreported. It is also among a batch of files declassified by the U.S. government on Thursday.
Anna Savva, a current Cambridge News reporter, said Friday that the paper has no record of the incident.
"We have nothing in our archive — we have nobody here who knows the name of the person who took the call," she said.
It's unclear whether the call was merely a prank and the timing coincidental. The CIA memo says that several people in Britain had received similar anonymous phone calls "of a strangely coincidental nature" over the preceding year, "particularly in connection with the case of Dr. Ward."

Ahh. So you are one of those establishment Ivy Leaguers like the Bushes, and Clintons, and Kennedies.....
As for memory, I’m enjoying mine while I still have it.
I don’t think any of that spiel existed in 1963.
Harvard wasn’t so bad back then. And I went to grad school because I wanted to teach English lit, having enjoyed it very much in school.
Those missiles were already due to be removed. It's recorded fact. JFK allowed the Soviets to save face by agreeing to remove them later AFTER the Soviets removed their Cuban missiles. He was smart enough not to cause problems with the Soviet Politburo. There were too many war hawks in the Soviet upper echelon already.
"You have no clue how a forge works do you?"
That was joke you dumbass. Of course I know what a forge is at 67 years. It's a new ultra dark forged light saber. Everyone knows that.
What an entire crock of shit. Bet you also believe Cronkies declaration that we lost the Tet Offensive. You are the epitomy of needy conspiracy types.
That inane comment shows how little you know. The French were in Nam in the 50's before the US even had advisors.
"I knew people in JFK’s cabinet, and had a lot of information that the MSM naturally covered up—such as Kennedy’s crippled back and his womanizing. He went to bed with at least three different women a day, which didn’t give him a lot of time to run things."
You're full of shit. First prove you had ANY association JFK's cabinet. More importantly, if he had such a "crippled back", how could he bed 3 women a day? Go away you lying ass. Oh, and do you have a Trident on your jacket lapel?
It is no joke when you claim fire fueled by diesel will melt structural steel by comparing it to sword making.
No use arguing with a rock.
