Biden delays release of JFK assassination records, blaming COVID-19 pandemic

The US will “unfortunately” continue to delay the public release of records related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, and officials say the COVID-19 pandemic is to blame.

The move was announced in a memo signed by President Joe Biden and released by the White House Friday.

“Temporary continued postponement is necessary to protect against identifiable harm to the military defense, intelligence operations, law enforcement, or the conduct of foreign relations that is of such gravity that it outweighs the public interest in immediate disclosure,” Biden wrote.

In 1992, Congress ruled that “all Government records concerning the assassination of President John F. Kennedy . . . should be eventually disclosed to enable the public to become fully informed about the history surrounding the assassination,” the missive said.

The act allowed the government to postpone the release to “protect against an identifiable harm to the military defense, intelligence operations, law enforcement, or the conduct of foreign relations,” according to the memo.

This year, the National Archives and Records Administration ruled that “unfortunately, the pandemic has had a significant impact on the agencies,” and NARA needed additional time to research the material and “maximize the amount of information released,” the memo said.

The most sensitive information will now be released in December 2022 and material that has already been deemed “appropriate for release to the public,” will be dumped on Dec. 15 of this year.

They’ve had 29 years to get it ready, but COVID stopped the effort?

Yeah. That makes sense.

They use that “pandemic” they manufactured for *everything.*

Anybody who doesn’t see straight through that by now needs to turn off their TV for a while.

If what you are alleging happened, there is no way it is written down in any files.

The Democrats have three excuses that they alternate for every problem they have created; Covid, Climate Change, and Trump. They are never responsible for anything.

Secrecy is often a convenient shield to keep truth from people. After all, the truth can be embarrassing and expose bad decisions, corruption and ineptitude.

What the hell does the Covid 19 pandemic have to do with the release of those records?

Who needs a data release to know that the See Eye Hay executed a serving and duly elected President of the United States? By now, it is obvious, just as obvious as the blithering idiot they installed with the Junta this time. Let’s Go Butthead!

Breaking news: Covid KILLED George Washington! And Washington, like all deceased American heroes, was GAY! Shocking.

I’ve always assumed that’s what happened.

Biden doesn’t want people to deduce that LBJ arranged it. I will always be convinced of that, BTW.

I agree with you. It wouldn’t be written down.

I don’t know what is in the files. But it’s really very clear that the information in the files is very dangerous to the Deep State, because the Deep State doesn’t want you to see the information, and they keep moving the goal posts.

Something is there.

And, as someone on the thread said, if the story is simply Lee Harvey Oswald took some lucky shots, and Jack Ruby just got pissed about it — if that’s 100% of the story — then there would be no need to have files still classified 60 years later.

Something is there.

The Deep State protects its own.

I'm starting to believe Oliver Stone was on to something. His movie JFK warrants another viewing.

Everything is about it. I have not felt well for 3 weeks, off and on, just slight headache and in the beginning fluey like stuff in the head is all. nothing respiratory. but of course my liberal niece gets feeling a bit sick and she runs out and gets herself and her son a covid test.

I swear they WANT to get it to be part of ‘it’ or something.

It’s every thought every word out of their mouths every day.

This is the second year they’ve cancelled the local Mummer’s Parade, which is a very big deal here in the wastelands.

Why?

The Coof apparently flourishes in cold weather, wide open spaces and fresh air.

This year, the National Archives and Records Administration ruled that “unfortunately, the pandemic has had a significant impact on the agencies,” ...

Note that this is the same agency, NARA, that put “harmful or difficult to view” warnings on the US Constitution, 'Declaration of Independence' and other documents just last month (September 2021). Their rationale was that [these] so-called harmful historical documents could “reflect racist, sexist, ableist, misogynistic/misogynoir, and xenophobic opinions and attitudes; be discriminatory towards or exclude diverse views on sexuality, gender, religion, and more,” and “include graphic content of historical events such as violent death, medical procedures, crime, wars/terrorist acts, natural disasters and more.”

So comforting that the NARA has its priorities straight ... err ... in order ... politically correct! Oh and it appears that Sandy Berger was nowhere near those documents when he was stuffing his pants in 2003!

Remember the DA Jim Garrison and the N.O. connection?

Well, well, who is the Senator from LA but John Kennedy?

There must be a conspiracy here somewhere.
