Trump Orders 2,800 JFK Assassination Files Released, Withholds Others
npr.org ^ | October 26, 2017 | Brian Naylor

President Trump has issued a memo to executive agencies ordering the release of 2,800 remaining records related to the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy.

The files are among the last to be released by the National Archives under a 1992 law that ordered the government to make all remaining documents pertaining to the assassination public. There has long been a trove of conspiracy theories surrounding Kennedy's death in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963, including doubts about whether assassin Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, as the Warren Commission determined in its report the following year.

Other files are being withheld due to what the White House says are national security, law enforcement and foreign policy concerns. The vast majority of what's being withheld is at the request of the FBI and CIA.

I don’t think it’s a stretch at all, Leni.
If you are familiar with JVBaker’s testimony, you are aware of the history behind that statement. Names, dates, projects, etc.

Her testimony is consistent with the pattern of doing away with “troublesome” witnesses and others who stood in the way of the CIA/FBI.

Frankly I don't give a damn how Ruby died....and if incontrovertible evidence turns up that some "conspirator" injected him with lung cancer cells, I'll buy it, and still won't give a damn.

He's dead...and there's enough conspiracy theories now floating around this country to consume everyone's energies for a lifetime.

That’s because we are the only free nation on Earth, and the bankers along with their CIA consider that to be a solvable problem.

Whatever you wish to “give a damn” about is your choice and not my business. It amazes me that 50 years on, the CIA-created term “conspiracy theories” is still being successfully deployed to discredit plausible credible explanations.

CIA agents killed in the line of duty protecting JFK? Did I read your posting correctly?

My wildest theory is that the CIA promised the USSR that they’d take out JFK in exchange for moving their nuclear warhead missiles out of Cuba. Mission accomplished. The American people wouldn’t know how to handle that.

Doubt after 54 years any of those people are still alive. I remember when they sealed the files and said they would be unsealed after 50 years, so I thought OK in 50 years I’ll find out. Well it’s been more than 50 years!

Well some still may be, plus lots of times those involved had kids that may still work there or be senators. :-)
