Cont: JFK Conspiracy Theories VIII

I'd say she's gonna need help from Sylvia Browne, but she's dead, too.

Everyone who served on the committee is dead. Four of the assistant council are still alive, aged 96, 94, 93 and 92. And two of the staff are still alive, aged 85 and 88. If she wants to interview any of the surviving people even associated with the Warren Commission, she'd better hurry.

This has been the level of intellectual discourse on this subject since 1966.

It is interesting that people seem to think assassinating a US president is somehow unlikely. It feels to me that US presidents are statistically more likely than leaders from an average country to be assassinated. There have been 45 people who have been US president, of whom 4 were assassinated, another two were wounded in shootings, a third was fired upon recently, and another 13 had verifiable assassination plots against them.

Anyway, I’m going to report my own post to mark it for moving to the JFK thread.

I'm not sure why "arrrgggh!" but "arrrgggh!"

And if you include candidates for the presidency, add RFK.
 
For what it's worth, Tucker Carlson is on the record stating Senator Tom Cotton and Mike Pompeo have been force behind not releasing the final JFK Assassination documents. I don't trust Carlson, but Cotton and Pompeo are morons...so...
 
So far the only interesting thing is a long memo about the status of OXCART, which would become the A-12, and SR-71. Discusses the problems they had with the engines, but details how the test plane had sustained Mach 2 at 60,000 feet. I got all warm an fuzzy reading it.

The rest is a mix of unrelated CIA cables about JMWAVE, and spying on American leftists in Europe. I'm only six pages in out of 88. Not expecting any bombshells.

Here's another interesting thing, at least from my perspective:

ASIO wanted Canberra link to JFK murder probe kept secret

The Trump administration has declassified documents revealing the CIA investigated anonymous calls made to the US embassy in Canberra before and after president John F Kennedy's assassination.

Yes, those phone calls were extensively investigated, and the progress of that investigation is documented in detail within the other three document releases along with a handful of others, including some poor slob from El Salvador the CIA handed over to Guatemala to "aggressively question" until he admitted he was making it all up.

What incidents like this prove is the CIA and FBI followed up every lead and tip they received, which is counter to the claims of a coverup.

The frontal headshot at Z-331 is what pushes JFK’s body violently back and to the left.

I know I am replying almost a year later but this is pure comic gold. This person you quote is using Hollywood physics!! And this person is supposed to know physics?!

Anything he says can be dismissed out of hand concerning this matter.
 
Here's some Cold War CIA gold the National Security Archives dug out of the drop:

CIA Covert Ops: Kennedy Assassination Records Lift Veil of Secrecy | National Security Archive

Washington D.C., March 19, 2025 - On the day of President John F. Kennedy’s inauguration in January 1961, “47 percent of the political officers serving in United States embassies were CAS”—intelligence agents working under diplomatic cover known as Controlled American Sources, White House aide...

Nothing about the assassination, but...
  • A key document from the CIA’s famed “Family Jewels” series describing “examples of activities exceeding the CIA’s charter,” including a CIA counterespionage operation against the French embassy in Washington, D.C., that included “breaking and entering and the removal of documents from the French consulate” and DCI John McCone’s dealings with the Vatican, including Pope John XXIII and Pope Paul VI, which “could and would raise eyebrows in some quarters.” (Document 4)
  • The CIA Inspector General’s report on the 1961 assassination of Rafael Trujillo, dictator of the Dominican Republic, revealing the names of CIA officers and others who assisted in the plot. (Document 6)
  • A series of summaries of briefings by DCI John McCone to members of the President’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board (PFIAB) that provide more details about known CIA political action programs and previously unknown details about “the Agency’s covert financial support to political parties in the fight against communism” around the world. (Document 2)
  • A CIA inspector general report on the workings of the CIA station in Mexico City providing one of the most detailed views of how the CIA organizes its operations on the ground. (Document 3)
  • A history of CIA operations in the Western Hemisphere covering 1946-1965, including expenditures by CIA stations in Latin America, and details on CIA payments and influence operations in Bolivia to orchestrate the election of their chosen candidate General René Barrientos. (Document 5)

Shrug. And they didn't release everything...again...
 
Russell Brand thinks Penelope Keith shot JFK in 1963.
In fact Ms Keith was part of a Marxist terrorist group operating out of the BBC Light Entertainment Department at that time. Other members included:
Ken Dodd, Leslie Crowther, Peter Glaze and Cilla Black.

Demonstrating why even unclassified documents can still have redactions, the fully unredacted documents released contained more than 400 Social Security numbers and other personal information of congressional staffers and other people involved in the investigation.

“It’s absolutely outrageous. It’s sloppy, unprofessional,” said former Trump campaign lawyer Joseph diGenova, 80, whose private information was included in the release.

“It makes sense that my name is in there,” he said, because of his work in the 1970s investigating intelligence abuses, “but the other sensitive stuff — it’s like a first-grade, elementary-level rule of security to redact things like that.”

Outrageous. Sloppy. Unprofessional. Yes, that pretty much sums up this administration. And failure at "first-grade, elementary-level" tasks is what happens when untrained amateurs with no clue what they're doing are put in charge.
