Cont: JFK Conspiracy Theories VIII

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.






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.

I agree about Trump...but...The President John F Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992 mandated that all the records be released by 2017. But when the date rolled around both the CIA and FBI had a spaz attack because neither one had fully reviewed their documents, and demanded some be withheld until they could be vetted, and sanitized. In short, the FBI and CIA had 25 years to get the job done, but they stuck their thumbs up their butts instead.

And in the interest of fairness, Biden's release outed a former University of Miami professor as an FBI mole. The big issue few mention is 80% of the JFK files have NOTHING to do with the assassination. Most are CIA records of ant-communist efforts in Central America, and worldwide, as well as the FBI's obsession with communist aggravators inside the US. While it's all very interesting for post-war America historians, most of it just brings into focus things we already knew.

Releasing the Social Security numbers and other personal details was deliberate according to Donald

Trump on releasing the JFK files: "We even released Social Security numbers. I didn't want anything deleted."

Here's some Cold War CIA gold the National Security Archives dug out of the drop:

The CIA isn’t above “active measures.”

Then again, the Cold War was a crazy time. Both sides viewed it as an existential struggle, and acted accordingly.
 
So we can summarize this new documents dump, as it relates to the JFK assassination, using British Civil Service vernacular. Paraphrasing in the style of Parliamentary Press Secretary, Mr. Bernard Wooley.... "Minister, that is what we in the Civil Service call a CGSM, a Consignment of Geriatric Shoe Manufacturers..... A load of old cobblers"

For mine, I prefer the NZ Civil Service vernacular, and call it a BFN...... a Big Fat Nothingburger
 
Supposedly JFK said, "I will break the CIA into a thousand pieces," which encouraged them to assassinate him

Did he actually say that, or is it a conspiracy invention?

At first glance it fits the conspiracy theory. I don't know if he actually said it and I suspect neither do the conspiracy theorists.

The actual quote was...

'I will splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it into the wind'

To my knowledge, is a quote that first appeared in an article in the New York Times dated April 1966. The article credits an unnamed source, claimed to be a high-level official in the Kennedy administration. There was no second source for the quote

Given all that, I seriously doubt JFK actually said that. Its sounds to me more like the sort of thing McGeorge Bundy (Kennedy's National Security Advisor) would say. He was the type of person who was not afraid to speak his mind!
 
Sounds like something Nixon might have said, minus the profanity.

Or Trump, minus the first-grade bully level of communication.

Nevertheless, it is an established part of the conspiracy theory. They even have him saying it in public.
 
Throughout these threads I've stated that on the off chance the CIA and FBI engaged in a conspiracy to kill JFK, and cover it up that such an operation would never have a paper trail. After yesterday it's clear that if the current administration engages in this kind of thing it will be recorded in a group chat compromised by China, Russia, France, Israel, and Germany.
