  • The Shadow of Intelligence Agencies
    Aug 28 2025
    The declassified files reveal Kennedy's assassination wasn't isolated but part of a broader political earthquake targeting transformative leaders. Internal Pentagon memos show military officials viewed JFK as "unreliable" on Vietnam and national security, while CIA documents reveal operations conducted without presidential approval. FBI surveillance extended beyond Oswald to systematic monitoring of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy, whom Bureau officials labeled "dangerous radicals." The files document psychological profiles and harassment campaigns against civil rights leaders, antiwar activists, and political dissidents. Cold War paranoia provided cover for domestic intelligence operations that prioritized institutional power over democratic governance, creating patterns of government surveillance and political violence that defined the decade and established precedents for decades of public mistrust.

  • The Shadow of Intelligence Agencies
    Aug 28 2025
    Newly released CIA cables and FBI memos reveal how America's intelligence agencies prioritized protecting their operations over discovering the truth about Kennedy's assassination. Within hours of Dallas, CIA stations worldwide received instructions to sanitize records connecting to Oswald, while the FBI actively managed the Warren Commission investigation to avoid exposing anti-Castro operations and organized crime connections. Interagency rivalries between CIA and FBI created competing cover-up efforts, each protecting their own secrets. The declassified files show systematic deception that extended through congressional investigations in the seventies. This intelligence secrecy established precedents for government deception that fueled decades of public mistrust, proving that institutional self-preservation took precedence over democratic accountability and the American people's right to truth.

  • Lee Harvey Oswald Reconsidered
    Aug 28 2025
    The newly declassified files shatter the Warren Commission's portrait of Lee Harvey Oswald as an isolated gunman. CIA surveillance from Mexico City reveals Oswald met with Soviet and Cuban officials just weeks before the assassination—not as a confused defector, but with operational knowledge that suggests intelligence connections. FBI memos show they maintained closer contact with Oswald after his return from Russia than ever admitted, facilitating his involvement with pro-Castro groups while using Bureau informants to monitor his activities. Rather than the disturbed loner of official accounts, Oswald emerges as someone embedded in networks of intelligence operatives, Cuban exiles, and FBI assets. Cold War paranoia shaped the government's need for a simple narrative, but the declassified documents reveal a far more complex truth about the man who changed American history.

  • JFK Declassified
    Jan 24 2025
    The declassification of the remaining JFK assassination files, initiated by former President Donald Trump through an executive order in January 2025, marks a significant step toward transparency and accountability. By mandating the release of all remaining federal records related to the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr., the effort aims to address decades of public speculation and skepticism. The initiative holds the potential to uncover new details about Lee Harvey Oswald's actions, government intelligence activities, and the broader political climate of the 1960s. It also highlights the ethical and logistical challenges of balancing transparency with national security concerns. While the release of these records may not settle all questions, it reinforces the importance of truth and openness in democratic governance and sets a precedent for the future handling of classified historical events.
