Release of JFK Assassination File Is Delayed as Deadline Looms
NBCNews ^ | October 26, 2016 | KEN DILANIAN and CORKY SIEMASZKO

The U.S. government was in danger Thursday of missing the deadline to release a trove of previously classified records from the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, adding an unexpected twist to a saga already rife with rumors and conspiracies.

The National Archives needs the official approval of President Donald Trump to begin releasing the 35,000 documents online and meet a deadline to divulge the papers set by Congress 25 years ago by The John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act.

But as of Thursday afternoon, the memo specifying which material the CIA, State Department and other agencies still want to keep under wraps had not made it to Trump’s desk, U.S. intelligence officials told NBC News.

“There’s a mad scramble going on in the executive branch to get this done,” one official told NBC News.

The CIA is asking only for some redactions, not for all the documents to be held, the official said. But the other agencies involved in the process have not yet finished their submissions.

So only a handful of documents were expected to be released on Thursday, not the entire batch, officials told NBC News.

"George Herbert Walker Bush is still very much alive. He and his Operation Mongoose team killed Kennedy."

Yup, right after they were abducted by space aliens.

For a guy whose only experience in politics at the time was support for Barry Goldwater and being a county GOP chairman, GHW was quite the inside manipulator!

54 years ago, the technology of the time could be manipulated to a “believable” extent. Present-day technology has exposed almost all of the manipulation. Your government killed it’s President, then manipulated things to be believed. Their guilty hands have been exposed by technologies they never dreamed would one day exist. Mr. Bush did what he was instructed to do. Believe in the tooth fairy if you like. I believe in the truth.

“Just heard from someone on the White House conference call. 2,800 documents will be released immediately.”

“The remainder will be delayed until April 26. Agencies will have until March 12 to make their objections.”

Hmm ... bad news, good news. Good news is the focus is still on Hillary’s crimes.

The magic bullet is the fairy story, sprinkled by the pixie dust of the Warren Commission. Those of us who have researched this for many, many years have pretty much solved the puzzle. We don't need any more documents. Bush did it. The Bushes are evil people.

>>>Just some guy with a $29 rifle, no?<<<

Back then you could by a WWII era German Anti-Tank Cannon for $179.00 by Mail Order.

Would you prefer Oswald used on of those? It would have only taken one shot.

I guess if he could have lugged it up the stairs.

but then, his car-pool-buddy said he told him it was “curtain rods”. Not sure if the cannon would have fit but O.K.

Heh. While I believe there was a conspiracy involved - “conspiracy” in the most basic sense, nothing involving bigfoot, aliens or George 1 and/or 2 on the grassy knoll - I find the nuttier theories to be a source of some great good comedic amusement.

That "guy" was a former U.S. Marine.

On Sebastian Gorka talked about this on Lou Dobbs tonings and he says failure to release this in full “stinks to high Heaven”.

Mr. Dobbs is none too happy himself.

You, on the other hand, seem quite cavalier; even dismissive about keeping many of those documents away from public scrutiny.

Apparently one of you knows something the other doesn’t. Maybe you could contact one or both of them and set their mind at ease about this.

Oswald = Patsy. Connect the Dots.

CIA (James Angleton & others) were watching and coordinating every move Oswald made, this intensified April-Nov ‘63.

CIA operatives in New Orleans worked to utilize Oswald in ‘recorded’ publicity stunts for FPFCC ( a purely CIA concocted Pro-Commie Castro Support Group) that was coincidentally housed in the same building, same floor as a ‘retired’ CIA operative. (Ola’ Sr. Cruz! LOL)

Some how Oswald’s Agency handlers made sure the penniless Lee with no driver’s license or job got exactly where he needed to be for photo ops: Russia, New Orleans, Mexico City(?) & Dallas.

Oswald’s family lived in the Paine residence (CIA operative family by way of father and brother and sis-in-law). Ruth Paine picked up the Oswald family and drove them to her home from New Orleans a 10/1963. And they stored all the incriminating evidence in their garage.

Ruth Paine arranged the job for Oswald at the TSBD three weeks before 11/22/63. The Kennedy SS recon team, altered (11/18/63) the motorcade route to pass by the TSBD, how convenient!

Anti-Castro Cuban operatives (3-4) just happened to be on location in Dallas 11/22/63 and over the years, survivors and/or documents have convincing implicated each other.

These guys had extensive prior contact with the CIA and their clandestine Miami projects directed through JMWAVE, including Bay of Pigs, Operation Mongoose and others. These alliances and training missions including CIA agents names have been exposed and well documented.

The records of George Joannides (Psyc Ops- CIA) HQ in Miami are very likely among the documents being redacted or withheld. It has recently been discovered that Joannides was positioned in New Orleans for the preliminary work. Joannides was called in as an expert for the HSFC 1972 investigation which was a conflict. His involvement was never disclosed to the Warren Commission and he was basically investigating his own work and his own cabal. His CIA records have been subject to a separate FOIA for 14 years which has been stonewalled quite intensely.

Lots of fun coincidences already revealed. Connect the Dots. The records release would solidify the trails. Deceased Agents Joannides records and Angleton’s records are the key.

George Joannides became chief of the Psychological Warfare branch of the CIA’s JM/WAVE station in Miami. In this role he worked closely with the Directorio Revolucionario Estudiantil (DRE), a militant right-wing, anti-Communist, anti-Castro, anti-Kennedy, group.

This was a group that Lee Harvey Oswald was in contact with in New Orleans in August 1963. Yet Oswald was also demonstrating for FPCC- Fair Play for Cuba Committee.

Joannides’s role was not revealed to the rest of the CIA until after Kennedy’s death. It wasn’t until John Whitten conducted the in-house 1964 CIA investigation that he realized that the FBI had also been withholding important information on Oswald from him. He also discovered that Richard Helms had not been providing him all of the agency’s available files on Oswald. This included Oswald’s political activities in the months preceding the assassination and the relationship Joannides had with the Directorio Revolucionario Estudiantil. In fact, Whitten had not been informed of the existence of Oswald, even though there was a 201 pre-assassination file on him that had been maintained by the Counterintelligence/Special Investigative Group.

If Whitten had been allowed to continue with the investigation he would have sought out what was going on at JM/WAVE. He was not allowed to pursue leads in that direction. This would have involved the questioning of Joannides and several other agents.

Had his CIA team been permitted to research further, and had that information been included in the Warren Commission report, that report would have enjoyed more credibility with the public. Instead, the CIA submitted a half-azzed investigation of Oswald. The HSCA concluded that Kennedy had been killed by Oswald and unidentifiable co-conspirators.” Too many roadblocks which is why we are here 54 years later.

Trump should have told the agencies he had no interest in their f__ing objections. Their bosses (aka the American people) have a right to see the documents _now_.

The problem inside the beltway is that they forget who is the boss—they need to be reminded.
