Back in October, President Donald Trump blocked the release of hundreds of records on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, agreeing to appeals from the CIA and FBI.

Now, Trump has accepted a recommendation from the National Archives to keep the lid closed, more than five decades after the 35th president was killed.

The people who worked on the TWA Flight 800 later ADMITTED that they had lied about what happened. They ADMITTED their conspiracy.

Bush and others are still alive. The papers might jog his memory on where he was that day.

Sad. When will people learn that it does us absolutely no good being "protected from the truth". Seriously contemplate that phrase "protected from the truth". We don't want protection from the truth. We want protection from lies and half-truths and mis-directions. The truth sets us free. We were a free nation once. These secrets damage that. Release the truth; let us heal.

All this talk about transparency, and they still think they can’t trust us not to jump out our windows or go shoot any still alive. Hello? We The People are more law abiding than our government!

Ah yes. When John Kay , of Steppenwolf , called it a monster in the 60’s the conservative establishment went nuts.

When I hear "Power Play" now, it is funny - to me - how easily it can be interpreted as a shout against the current progressive US government/media.

Bush is close but not quite dead yet.

What National Security interests are still at risk more than 50 years after the crime? All this does is fuel the theories that the Alphabet agencies were involved.

An attempted Coup mainly over Cuber and the VEEEEETnam war.

If Bush was involved with the Jfk assassination then he was almost certainly involved with the attempt on President Reagan.

Think about that.

I hope for the sake of the country that he had nothing to do with it.

But one way or another, the truth needs to come out.

The Conspiracy Theory it makes seem more suspicious are the ones involving who was in Dallas that day and is still alive.
********
Bush doesn’t have much time left... I’d like to see these docs released so he can die in disgrace.

I actually think it’s quite important, given that Trump seems to be the victim of an attempted soft coup. If the CIA, LBJ and FBI were involved in the Kennedy assassination and it is revealed, that may wake some of the sleeping idiots in this country to the very frightening parallels.

It is exactly what the song says it is.


From the lyrics to Steppenwolf’s “Monster”...

And though the past has its share of injustice
Kind was the spirit in many a way
But its protectors and friends have been sleeping
Now it’s a monster and will not obey

The spirit was freedom and justice
And its keepers seemed generous and kind
Its leaders were supposed to serve the country
But now they won’t pay it no mind
Cause the people grew fat and got lazy
Now their vote is a meaningless joke
They babble about law and order
But it’s all just an echo of what they’ve been told


I’ve been thinking that somewhere, recently, there has been a weird polarity swap in the political parties. The Left is now the authoritarian party that wants rule for everything, and very strict rules. They’re the ones calling for banning speech they don’t like and books they find heretical. And the Left is all in on preserving the unrestrained power of the Federal spy agencies and the FBI.

In this polar shift, the Right has now morphed into what was the Left of the 1960’s. The Right is now arguing for more freedom of expression and constraining the powers of the FBI.

Interesting times.

WTH does it mean if a sitting President continues to allow such info to be secret. A coconspirator.

Implicating Bush in the JFK assassination is ridiculous.

He was living in Houston at the time and that year had just been elected to his first political office- Chairman of the Harris County Republican party.

He wasn’t elected to congress until 1967 and he wasn’t involved in the CIA until 1976

What it will show is what we already know and that is how our own government is not trustworthy and how our own government conspired and assassinated JFK

I surmise one reason for Trump’s decision is the fact that daddy Bush is still alive. Outing daddy Bush’s involvement could have a detrimental effect on Trump’s health

Yeah, we’re walking down the same path. Barbara died, hubby ended up in the hospital. President Trump is a decent guy. In spite of all the venom the President has had to put up with from Bush family and allies, I get it that President Trump has more class and empathy than they do.
