Will Joe Biden Release JFK Assassination Records?
Newsweek ^ | Nov 22 2020 | Brendan Cole

Posted on 11/29/2020 8:42:52 AM PST by rintintin

Sunday (Nov 22) marks the 57th anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy and nearly six decades on, fascination still abounds over the details of one of the 20th century's landmark events.

The 35th American president was fatally shot by Lee Harvey Oswald shortly after midday on Friday November 22 1963 while riding in a presidential motorcade through Dealey Plaza, in Dallas, Texas.

Footage of him in the car with his wife Jaqueline and Texas Governor John Connally and his wife, has gone down in history as one of the iconic images of the age.

Most of the documents related to the killing were made publicly available under the 1992 John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act, which mandated that all the material be made public 25 years later, by October 26, 2017.

However, President Donald Trump yielded to concerns by U.S. national security and intelligence agencies. He allowed the National Archives to release a small percentage of the total—around 3,000 documents. A much larger batch was withheld at the request of the CIA because more time was needed to review the documents.

“How, when, and where did Oswald coordinate with the other shooter(s)?”

The night prior to the JFK Assassination, Oswald took an Uber to Love Field and placed a GPS tracker on the presidential limo, he then used the GPS trackers bluetooth capability and linked it with his Apple Watch. The next morning Oswald met with the second shooter at a Dallas Starbucks where they paired their Apple Watches to their bluetooth enabled rifle scopes.

From Wiki:

Jack Leon Ruby (born Jacob Leon Rubenstein; April 25, 1911 – January 3, 1967) was an American nightclub owner. He fatally shot Lee Harvey Oswald on November 24, 1963, while Oswald was in police custody after being charged with assassination of John F. Kennedy, the incumbent United States President, and for murdering Dallas policeman J. D. Tippit about an hour later. A Dallas jury found him guilty of murdering Oswald, and he was sentenced to death.

Ruby’s conviction was later appealed, and he was granted a new trial. However, as the date for his new trial was being set, Ruby became ill in prison and died of a pulmonary embolism from lung cancer on January 3, 1967.

No this isn’t an “outdated” irrelevant controversy.

The Intel agencies want the files held back TODAY not 50 years ago. Their
demand for secrecy on this issue is a demand they’re making TODAY. By definition that makes it a contemporary issue. It is an issue RIGHT NOW - ie whether Intel agencies should be allowed to hold back files on the killing of a US president.

The people in power TODAY are holding back those files. Why are they doing that and should they be allowed to? That’s a question for us RIGHT NOW because the Intel officials are doing it RIGHT NOW. Why are they doing it?

I used to think that but I no longer believe that.

I think the deep state killed JFK because he was going to end the CIA and was pulling out of Vietnam.

The radical changes in the US started after JFK was assassinated , a clear demarcation point in our history.

Look at what has happened to Pro-American Presidents since then, Nixon (driven out of office), Reagan (Assassination Attempt, Iran-Contra) and Trump (Multiple attempts to drive him out of office)

The more plausible explanation is that those who hated JFK for not invading Cuba did it. That would be the Alpha 66 guys trained by the CIA and the mafia who lost their Cuban assets. The CIA gave it a wink and a nod and turned their head.
Probably something innocent sounding like telling the Alpha guys that they were out of business until JFK was gone.

No Castro, no Russians, no Oswald alone. I believe he was indeed, “a patsy”. Whether he was in the plot or told he was stopping a plot... he was a fall guy on a platter. And THAT is why he was killed by the mafia in the Dallas police garage.

Today's young people upon hearing that explanation:


"Yeah, of course. Makes sense."

Ha ha. I guess you think “nothing to seee here” when Oswald gets conveniently gunned down before he can be put on trial.

Kind of like “nothing to see here” when all the battle ground states stop counting votes and send GOP poll observers home

Let’s make fun of people who notice that’s somethings not right!

Like your meme that says we shouldn’t wonder about the convenient assassination of Oswald, there are Dems creating memes right now to ridicule those of us who think the 2020 election was stolen.

“The CIA needs more time to examine the documents???? My goodness...how much more time do they need??”

Fifty-seven years since the assassination. What could be in the files to be of national security concern unless the CIA was involved in the assassination?

If something looks like a mob hit, a witness assassination, let’s ridicule and mock anyone who dares to say so out loud

Let’s make fun of anyone who says what common sense suggests: “that looks like a mob hit, a convenient assassination of a witness or conspirator before he can spill the beans”

The Dems enjoy making fun of Freepers and our “conspiracy theories” about the “stolen” 2020 election

Are you a conspiracy theorist, or do you think Biden won fair and square?

“Nice to see Newsweek providing some background on the story.”


Although I can remember it as if it were yesterday, for most today it is as remote as the McKinley assassination was for my generation.

That poster was put out years ago by a punk rock band called the Dead Kennedys. You can see the band’s logo on the wall.
