The JFK assassination was one of the darkest moments in American history. Most boomers remember exactly where they were when news of JFK’s death broke. Transparency on this event from the government is long overdue.
It’s been well over 50 years since the JFK assassination. Many government documents pertaining to the event have remained classified. Only now are we getting a glimpse at some of the material that the government has kept hidden for so long.
In total, 2,891 documents have been released.
The President made the right decision in allowing these documents to be released. Unfortunately, not everything was made public today. A last minute decision was made to release the remaining material in a separate batch following a detailed review over the next 180 days. This was done primarily at the request of the FBI and the CIA.
NPR:
President Trump had issued a memo to executive agencies ordering the release of the records.
The files are among the last to be released by the National Archives under a 1992 law that ordered the government to make public all remaining documents pertaining to the assassination. There has long been a trove of conspiracy theories surrounding Kennedy’s death in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963, including doubts about whether assassin Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, as the Warren Commission determined in its report the following year.
Other files are being withheld owing to what the White House says are national security, law enforcement and foreign policy concerns. The vast majority of what’s being withheld is at the request of the FBI and the CIA.
The remaining redactions are going be reviewed over the next 180 days, and any not sufficiently demonstrated to need withholding will be released on April 26, 2018.
What this probably means is that the most intriguing material has yet to be released. The President should have ignored these requests from the FBI and the CIA. Most of the people who were involved with what happened are dead. It’s also hard to see how documents pertaining to an event that occurred over a half a century ago would have any present day national security, law enforcement or foreign policy consequences. The FBI and the CIA are probably more concerned about the public relations damage they’ll suffer with the full release of these documents. Any further delays in its release are just going to fuel more suspicions and conspiracy theories. There is no good reason not to release them immediately.
Despite that, there’s still a ton of documents to go through. We need some serious autistic types scanning through this document dump.
Here’s some of the stuff that people have found in the first few hours since its release:
- KGB believed that Lyndon Johnson was responsible for JFK’s assassination.
- Anti-Castro Cuban claimed on 11/21/63 that his group was backed by Jews and that the Jews would take care of JFK (page 64).
- NBC promised to only broadcast information on JFK’s assassination that was consistent with the FBI’s official report.
- Reference to multiple shooters during 1964 speech by Christian Identitarian Oren Fenton Potitio.
- Informant described article claiming that police officer J.D. Tippit assassinated JFK and was killed by Jack Ruby aka Jack Rubenstein.
- Jack Ruby aka Jack Rubenstein visited Israel in 1962.
- FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover expressed concern that the public wouldn’t believe that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone gunman.
There’s definitely some interesting material here but it’s too early to draw any conclusions. Hopefully when all of the documents are released we’ll have a better understanding of what really happened. There’s certainly some legitimate questions about the conclusions of the Warren Commission. It is time for maximum transparency on what many would consider one of the darkest events in American history.
