Overshadowed by the recent revelations in the Epstein files, the 62nd anniversary of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination came and went with little notice. Yet new documents relating to that still-unsolved murder—released only recently by the Trump administration—deserve far more scrutiny than they have received from corporate media.
From the moment the latest batch of disclosures emerged this past March, the Democratic Party and their allies in corporate media assumed their familiar role as CIA stenographers, either overlooking—or outright refusing to look at—what more than 60,000 documents revealed.
At an April 1 House hearing, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX)—illustrating the Democratic Party’s loyalty to the U.S. security state—confidently insisted that the JFK files “show no evidence of a CIA conspiracy,” and complained that even hearing testimony from Oliver Stone, Jefferson Morley, and Jim DiEugenio amounted to “platform[ing] conspiracy theories.”
The New York Times’ Julian Barnes echoed the Democratic congresswoman nearly word for word, announcing definitively that “the CIA did not kill JFK…Oswald acted alone,” despite the sheer volume of documents that no reporter could have seriously reviewed in such a short span of time. Speed-readers Lalee Ibssa and Diana Paulsen of ABC News likewise asserted that, by calling for Congress to reopen the investigation into Kennedy’s assassination, filmmaker Oliver Stone was “reviv[ing] unfounded conspiracy theories.”
But despite committed insistence from Democrats and their corporate media allies, the Trump administration’s JFK disclosures, along with troves of previously released files, do in fact suggest a CIA conspiracy. We have ample documentation from unsealed congressional records of who worked hard to cover it up—among them a consortium of CIA officials who systematically lied to the Warren Commission, misleading the public investigation about the prime suspect in the president’s murder, Lee Harvey Oswald.
Perhaps the main architect of that cover-up was the CIA spymaster James Jesus Angleton, who, despite being the counterintelligence chief presiding over what was supposedly the worst intelligence failure since Pearl Harbor, wound up deeply involved in the CIA’s official investigation into the assassination.
Though Angleton insisted that the agency was inattentive to Oswald and unaware of the purpose of his activities leading up to Dallas, it has since been disclosed through unclassified JFK assassination records that Angleton personally maintained a classified 201 intelligence/surveillance file on Oswald for the four years preceding Kennedy’s assassination, strictly controlling which officials inside the CIA were permitted to see it through compartmentalization.
Angleton’s deceptions to investigators are so numerous that 60 years later they are still being uncovered; in one notable instance only revealed this year, Angleton committed perjury before the House Select Committee on Assassinations, claiming he knew almost nothing about Lee Harvey Oswald before the shooting. In another, Angleton concealed the fact that Oswald had visited the Cuban embassy in Mexico City—a visit the CIA publicly claimed it only discovered after the assassination.
As Jefferson Morley, author of The Ghost: The Secret Life of CIA Spymaster James Jesus Angleton, explained, the counter-intelligence chief “preferred to wait out the Warren Commission rather than explain the CIA’s knowledge of and interest in Oswald’s visit to the Cuban consulate” in Mexico.
Though Angleton left the CIA in disgrace, dismissed by many colleagues as a paranoid obsessive, his legacy has been consistently venerated by Israel’s intelligence services. In his memoir, the former director of the Mossad, Meir Amit, famously described James Angleton as “the biggest Zionist of the lot,” adding that “his total identification with Israel was an extraordinary asset for us.”
As Morley writes, “Angleton’s loyalty to Israel betrayed US policy on an epic scale,” probably allowing the Israelis to build a nuclear bomb using stolen materials from the U.S.-based Nuclear Materials and Equipment Corporation (NUMEC) facility at a time when it was the expressed policy of the U.S. government to prevent Israel from acquiring one.
"Angleton had regular professional and personal contact with at least six men aware of Israel’s secret plan to build a bomb. From Asher Ben Natan to Amos de Shalit to Isser Harel to Meir Amit to Moshe Dayan to Yval Ne’eman, his friends were involved in the building of Israel’s nuclear arsenal. If he learned anything of the secret program at Dimona, he reported very little of it. If he didn’t ask questions about Israel’s actions, he wasn’t doing his job. Instead of supporting U.S. nuclear security policy, he ignored it."
Among the most sensitive questions revived by the Trump administration’s releases is whether Israel may have had a role in or foreknowledge of the plot against Kennedy, who spent his final months battling the Israeli government over its nuclear program, its lobby power in the U.S., and the resettlement of Palestinians from the land the Israelis had expelled them from.
The mere suggestion that Israel may have been involved in Kennedy’s assassination, much more so than allegations against the CIA, produces the swiftest denunciations from across the establishment. When podcaster Theo Von made the allegation against Israel on a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, for example, Israel loyalists like Amit Segal rapidly denounced the claim as a “blood libel” and “antisemitic.” CyberWell, an Israeli-helmed censorship outfit staffed by former Israeli intelligence officials that partners with every major social-media platform, has likewise labeled the allegation an antisemitic conspiracy theory and worked with those platforms to censor it from the internet.
The intensity with which critics denounce anyone who raises the question mirrors the vigor with which the government spent decades scrubbing any trace of the connection from its own files. For decades, dozens of references to “Israel,” “Tel Aviv,” and even the identities of Angleton’s Israeli operatives were blacked out of congressional testimony, including the Church Committee records.
In his 1975 Church Committee testimony, now available with many of the old redactions removed, Angleton confirms that during the CIA’s “Cuban business”—the covert campaign of sabotage and assassination plots against Castro run through Bill Harvey and Task Force W—he arranged for an Israeli intelligence officer in Havana to act as Harvey’s secret channel. According to Angleton, this “Israeli man” sent reports from Havana to Tel Aviv, from where they were passed directly to Angleton and then to Harvey.
This setup kept some of the agency’s most sensitive operations outside the normal CIA chain of command. A now-missing page of that same testimony uncovered by Aaron Good shows Angleton downplaying any need to brief CIA Director John McCone about his Israeli liaison, even while admitting that “what they were doing was enormous.”
Good also highlights how Angleton’s Israeli channel intersected with Lee Harvey Oswald. The Counterintelligence Staff officer assigned to read Oswald’s mail and collect it for the 201 surveillance file that Angleton maintained before the assassination was Reuben Efron—a committed Zionist who had lived in Israel, published on espionage in a World Zionist Organization–affiliated journal, and, as Jefferson Morley notes, sat in on Marina Oswald’s Warren Commission interview with no official role listed.
At the very moment a U.S. president was seeking to restrict Israel’s nuclear ambitions and limit the political power of its lobby in Washington, the CIA official in control of the Oswald file was secretly sharing intelligence channels, assassination communications, and off-the-books operatives with Israel—and lying to both Congress and potentially some of his own CIA colleagues about it.
The government spent 60 years redacting those facts and Americans have a right to know why.
Go ahead and believe the Warren Commission.
They would never lie to you.
Lol.
There was a brief flurry and then it was dropped. My guess is that it didn’t really generate clicks for ad revenue so they dropped it.
Millennials and Zoomers don’t care about stuff that happened before they were born. It’s not just history, it’s ancient history.
The few Boomers left who might care are far less online and not a target audience because they don’t generate the click ad income.
Three letters is all you need. CIA.
Everything is a distraction except the issues you care about...
Lol.
i think it was Castro, with more than 1 shooter.
“The CIA’s Cuban business”
“Our Man in Havana” is a 1959 film and a 1958 novel by
Graham Greene, starring Alec Guinness as a vacuum cleaner salesman recruited as a British spy in pre-revolutionary Cuba. The story is a satirical spy thriller where the protagonist, Jim Wormold, fabricates reports and “agents” to earn money, but his fictional activities become dangerously real, drawing him into a world of actual espionage. The film adaptation features an all-star cast including Alec Guinness, Maureen O’Hara, Ernie Kovacs, and Noel Coward.
The problem is that E. Howard Hunt confessed the CIA did it—and named specific names.

In addition Castro could not maintain a sixty year cover-up.
Only the CIA could do that.
Castro is a diversion just like involvement by the mafia.
Now certainly Castro did not like Kennedy, but the CIA was running a covert operation out of Opa Locka, Florida called Operation Mongoose run by a General Landsdale, it was to try and kill Castro using the Mafia to help. It was a total failure. The Mafia was rather inept on doing anything sophisticated like Dallas.
Because we know Oswald killed Kennedy.
Interesting Book....
For
Conspiracy Buffs, kinda tells us where This subject is.
.
Oswald was The Patsy.
I knew a Dallas attorney who knew Ruby and Oswald, used to hang out at Ruby’s club. Carl Journagon (sp? I’ve forgotten). He went to the FBI and told them he heard Ruby and Oswald talking about killing Kennedy (that part is on the net). Ruby had control of the School Book Depository. Journagon said Ruby gave Oswald a key and told him he would keep the building clear and get rid of the gun.
The FBI concluded Journagon was an alcoholic (true) and not to be trusted. They ignored him. He used to rattle in veiled terms about the story when I fished for bass in his ponds at his home, which had a view of Oswald’s grave, oddly enough. The cost of entry was a bottle of whiskey.
The Warren commission is more credible than E Howard Hunt.
So when will Tucker Carlson interview Harrison Berger?
“So when will Tucker Carlson interview Harrison Berger?”
Cuck Tarlson is still around?
Don’t all these conspiracy theories clash with each other?
How many thoroughly detailed, 100% factual and true conspiracy theories are there anyway? a dozen, more?
Remington Mohawk, .222 Rem. ammo. Fired from in front of the car, went through the windshield and struck the throat. Very few know or acknowledge the bullet hole through the windshield. Many witnesses saw it at Parkland.
For sixty years your government has been lying to you about the assassination of a U.S. President - and you’re not curious why? You’ll just accept their papered-over version? You don’t have any questions?
It’s no wonder this vast unelected deep state continues to get away with treason.
When questioned about what Crockett had actually read, she screamed, again in several accents........ Raaaaaacism!!!
I was 20.......reviving everything changes nothing. He’s dead...
