Isn't it a sad thing that the Deep State can't even keep its secrets anymore?
I wonder if it’s because so many of us lost faith in the federal government after its absurd overreactions, bad public health policies, and demonstrable lies respecting COVID, or is it just the passage of time and changes at the top making it harder to keep secrets, but this week both the FBI and CIA are in the line of fire.
The CIA
Sixty years after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the National Archives and Records Administration has finally released over 13,000 records in its possession relevant to that tragic event. Some 3% of the records are still being hidden from us. Why? So many years have passed and so many of the key figures have passed away it seems hard to imagine a benign explanation. The event was always the subject of theories critical of the official line. Truth to tell, one need not have been a conspiracist to question it. To take just a single example, the single-bullet explanation never stood up to analysis in my view. And that’s just one part of the story. After the record release, Tucker Carlson reported that someone with “direct knowledge” of the still-withheld records states the CIA is connected to the assassination. (The agency had at that point some expertise in political assassinations, having engaged in them in the Congo, Dominican Republic, South Vietnam, and Chile.) Adding fuel to the fire, Robert Kennedy, Jr., nephew of the assassinated president, indicated he suspects the agency had a hand in it, and asked, “What are they hiding?” He added, that this assassination was a “successful coup d’etat from which democracy has never recovered.”

I posted this on a thread last night:
“Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you.”
–Sen. Charles Schumer, January 2017”
I have said several times that this comment by Schumer should have been front page news in every newspaper in America. This wasn’t some freshman representative; this is the senior democrat in the U.S. Senate admitting that he is afraid of the CIA and NSA. That means without a doubt we have a government within a government that is unelected and obviously accountable to no one.
Trump ordered all JFK assination records released. But, the deep state would not release all of them. I wonder what was in the ones that were not released.
I mostly agree with your take, except for this part:
>>> “This wasn’t some freshman representative; this is the senior democrat in the U.S. Senate admitting that he is afraid of the CIA and NSA.” <<<
Schumer is NOT afraid of the CIA, NSA, FBI, etc. They are his mailed fist. He is one of the captains of Team Deep State, one with an official government overt face. He was giving a warning to those who oppose Team Deep State. He’s part of it.
FBI Releases All JFK Documents Except For The Ones That Says They Killed Him
Face it. We live under a tyrannical, fascist government. And at least half of the people,if not more, are fine with it.
This Republic has failed. What comes next is going to be ugly.
My takeaway, after 40 years of close study of every new twist and information release on the JFK assassination:
1. Lee Harvey Oswald was a fervent, dedicated Communist lunatic who was so nuts that even the USSR deported him back to the USA.
2. It was well known by the FBI that Oswald was a dedicated raving Communist lunatic.
3. Oswald traveled by bus all the way to Mexico City just before the assassinations and rang the bells 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 I.D.’d, logged and checked out. The CIA and FBI both knew that Oswald, the prior defector to the USSR who then lived in Dallas, visited both embassies. This should have been a bright red rocket getting their attention, with “flash” notices to the FBI in Dallas to keep a close eye on Oswald at a bare minimum.
4. He returned from Mexico City 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, still 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 in Texas (very likely Oswald) had tried to assassinate retired Major General Edwin Walker, an ardent anti-Communist, with the same 6.5mm rifle in April of 1963. The sniper missed, but it was big news that it happened.
So without a doubt Oswald was on the radars of the CIA, FBI and Secret Service. They pretended not to notice him, even though there were many prior 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 “Deep State” nexus let Oswald take the fatal shots. Jack Ruby, another well-known-to-LE lunatic, was used to silence Oswald forever.
Thanks, Matt.

“That means without a doubt we have a government within a government that is unelected and obviously accountable to no one.”
Which one?
“Schumer is NOT afraid of the CIA, NSA, FBI, etc. They are his mailed fist. He is one of the captains of Team Deep State, one with an official government overt face. He was giving a warning to those who oppose Team Deep State. He’s part of it.”
I don’t necessarily agree with that. I don’t think any politician runs the deep state. The people like Schumer and Pelosi are useful idiots for the deep state, but if the politicians cross them the deep state would tear them apart. I would agree with it in the sense that as long as the politicians do as they’re told they have nothing to fear. Personally I believe the deep state is run by the Gates, Soros, and Schwab people.
So it turns out that the FIB are, in fact, scummy CCP aligned trolls?

‘Break it into a Thousand pieces’ JFK.
DS is the Problem.
Good morning, good friend, and thanks for your interesting post. I’ll pass my thoughts and family history along for you to review before hopefully commenting back further.
My father was raised on a small farm in Texas, near Dallas. As a child, guns were his main and only hobby, but being rather poor, not something they could afford to shoot regularly. His main opportunity to shoot was when he was hunting, and his father would only ever give him one bullet to go out and secure that evening’s dinner. This was apparently a family tradition, to not only help financially, but to help the child develop expert marksmanship.
He was of the drafting age when the US entered the Korean War, and was sent off to basic training. During that initial training, they discovered what an expert marksman he was. Apparently as was normal practice, the best marksmen were not actually sent off to war, they were kept stateside as trainers, and to compete in marksmanship contests between the various services. I believe small arms expert or rifleman expert may have been his official title, but he shot guns every day, and often traveled to train or compete.
He was retired out when JFK was shot, and living in Tennessee at the time. My older brother distinctly remembers his long distance conversations on the telephone regarding it. There were many long distance conversations, between our family back in Dallas, and his fellow marksmen he served with, and this was at a time when long distance conversations were rare, and short. Typically, a long distance call back then would only last 59 seconds, due to the cost, but apparently these calls went on for long periods of time.
I didn’t hear those conversations, but did hear what they were all about later as I was growing up. My father, and his contacts both in and out of the service, simply didn’t believe Oswalt could have made those shots, so quickly, at that range, in that tight of a pattern. They didn’t believe the flimsy firearm was capable of it, for starters. They also didn’t believe anyone, even an expert marksman such as my father, would have been able to pick up the rifle without practicing the shot before, and pull such a tight pattern at that range. Maybe they were just in denial, I don’t know, other than they didn’t believe it just happened as claimed.
Apparently, this doubt by experts grew to the point that there were actually some attempts at re-creating the shot. I don’t think anyone was ever able to do it, either, or if they were, it was only one out of many tries, and the person who did finally do it still doubted Oswald could have. These recreation attempts were apparently well known within the marksman community, but I don’t know how nationally known they may have been.
One last piece of interest is, if you ever go to to the building where Oswald supposedly performed the miracle shots, there’s actually two different vantage points overlooking the car track path. The first one comes much earlier int he route, and is much closer. The second supposed angle is much further and a more difficult shot, so the question my father always had was, if you had such a poor firearm to use, you would have never waited for the more difficult shot.
Now my father never really dove into conspiracy theories, especially regarding a US government plot to assonate JFK, he just didn’t believe Oswald acted alone. He was more of the mind other Soviet agents were involved, and Oswald was the turkey, and was offed himself soon afterward to cover up the truth. Other theories have emerged about a possible accident regarding someone in the motorcade trying to return fire at Oswald, again the main theory my father had was that Oswald didn’t act alone, and beyond that no one knew.
Personally, I have no idea, and haven’t ever researched it further, choosing just to assume the analysis by my father and his associates was likely sound and there was another shooter, and this far off in the future, we’re unlikely to ever know the full truth. Hopefully I’m wrong, and we will, but I’m not expecting it, unfortunately.
Best Regards, and Merry Christmas.
Oswald was a patsy
