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.

They were involved. It was America’s coup de tat and the conspirators had a solid stranglehold on Government and the intel community until very recently.

It’s laughable to think anything else.

I went to the newly released docs. I just picked a doc from the list, from the 60s. Turns out it was an NSA biggie explaining how the NSA was tasked with spying on our citizens in the US. NSA wasn’t too happy about it, but CIA and FBI would give them a list of people to survail. NSA was not happy about breaking the rules.

If that got out (and I think it’s kind of a biggie) wonder what else they’re covering up? I see the whole “ withholding “ thing as a mainly cover you ass operation. Deep state has to go way back to cover their tracks.

And that is why the dung flinging monkeys and the deep state freaked out about Oliver Stone’s movie. You may believe anything you want about the JFK assassination -except- that it was CIA approved and executed through their Cuban exile/mafia cabal.

They simply did here what they had done in numerous countries from the end of WWII through the 70s. Why is that so hard to see?

“then he was almost certainly involved with the attempt on President Reagan”

Are you seriously stating that George HW Bush somehow colluded with John Hinckley Jr. to assassinate Ronald Reagan? Yea, maybe ol George told Hinckley that Ronnie was secretly banging Jodie Foster.

Yup. I never believed the whole Oswald story, I do think he was involved, but none of this makes sense. You shoot the President, escape the initial dragnet and than instead of fleeing as quickly as you can or laying low somewhere non descript, you wander around and return to an area closer to the shooting, and then murder a police officer and instead of paying for a ticket, sneak into a movie theater in broad daylight. Add to that, that anyone who has ever done any kind of shooting under pressure knows that your first shot will be the best, because of the element of surprise.

Not necessarily- what may be at issue is the means by which certain intelligence was obtained that pertains to the assassination or its conspirators.

Or it could pertain to the bureaucracy’s perpetual tilting with the windmill of the Israel-Palestinian peace process, given that a Palestinian assassinated Robert Kennedy. If a group like the PFLP were involved in some fashion with Oswald, revealing it would be considered a threat by the State Dept to their sacred cow.

Or we may still have a human asset or want some nationn suchh as Cuba to believe we do that could be exposed.

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

Laughable. He was in from the early 50s. Zapata oil was a CIA front company, one of many companies. The CIA is nothing more than a partnership between the monied interests and government...and he was right in the thick of it.

Thane Eugene Ceasar, RFK’s “bodyguard” shot him that night as he was directly behind Kennedy in the pantry. The L.A. county police investigation is every bit the joke perpetrated by the F.B.I. in JFK’s murder.

Hinkley was a family friend of the Bush family. Probably just another coincidence. You know, “a coincidence”,...like a CIA connected loser traitor to Russia,
returning home to no consequences,
and happening to meet a wealthy CIA connected society man in Dallas,
who finds him a job in a building in Dallas,
and three weeks later... JFK drives by.

Total coinkydink

Talk to us, Mister President. Why? This country belongs to us, the People. It doesn’t belong to the CIA.

I think we need to redefine National Security to only mean the Security of the People of the USA, especially the troops, but us all. NOT ANY ORGANIZATION. And the National Security DANGER or THREAT should be to life, and immediate, not danger to REPUTATION.

If GHWBush was involved, and he had to have been to set up two different alibis, we need to know, whether he is alive or dead. Why should he get away with it?

Yep. In the 60’s I was a nut job for the beliefs I held. NOW, I am still a nut job for the beliefs I hold.

In the 60’s I was a long haired radical. Today I am a right wing radical.

It was, is and always be about personal freedom. You either believe in it or you don’t. Their is no middle ground or gray area.

In all of this I didn’t know until the last decade or so that I have always been a libertarian. go figure.

Yup! ;-)

President Trump is not going to release the documents that prove George Herbert Walker Bush participated in the assassination of JFK while GHWB is alive.

______________________________________________

I wouldn’t go so far as to say he participated. But as former head of the CIA (and former president) he certainly knows probably 90 percent of the true facts. If not more.

Vietnam. This started out as a CIA endeavor and morphed into a blowup under LBJ.

After more than 54 years, it’s far more likely that bad behavior involving a US government bureaucracy or official is the reason for still hiding information.

And I also don’t believe that all the withheld documents and redacted documents related to recent DOJ, FBI and Democrat wrongdoing is due to legitimate national security considerations.
