The feigned outrage of boards users at every single little thing that Trump lad does is hilarious ��

The US establishment knows Trump is mentally unstable and a sick man. He is not the decision maker and has not been for some months now.

And just to say - people thought this was a normal press conference by Obama - it was not. This was a well orchestrated warning to all Americans that this man is not fit before the election.




The administration knew the chaos a Trump administration posed.

We could talk about the files, or talk about the irrelevant sitting President who happens to be not blocking their release.

Odd. You'd think Ireland's historical attachment to JFK would have brought the focus there but nope. It's all about Trump.

Trump, as per usual, is trying to claim credit for things that are none of his doing. Those files were long since scheduled to be released this month.

Trump isn't trying to claim credit for this, read Trumps own tweet on it. All he said was he will be allowing the scheduled declasification to go ahead, he could stop it if he wanted to. I'm all in favour of bashing Trump but what you've said above is inaccurate. If you start using half truths and taking things out of context to imply a different meaning then were no better than Trump and his idiot supporters.

I wonder how much of these files will be redacted?

I suspect Trump is hoping this will distract the media and everyone else from the other failings of his administration, specifically the controversy surrounding Niger. I also think that the CIA probably don't want this info to be declassified so Trump sees it as a good way to put the boot into them.

Wonder will Ted Cruz's father make an appearance in the files?

George de Mohrenschildt was Oswald's CIA handler. As someone who shoots, the most accurate shot is your first shot, in Oswalds case it is his last shot that is the accurate head shot. If there were 2/3 discrepancies fair enough bu there are so many around the Kennedy shooting, the mind boggles.

There is also the case of key witnesses who disappeared or who turned up dead in the years after, none more so than NY journalist Ruth Killgallon.

It is also worth remembering the Select Committee on Assassinations in 1976 concluded that Kennedy was probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy. The Warren Commission was a botch job.

As for the shooter(s) well we will never know for sure but E Howard Hunt (one of the Watergate burglars) did confess on his death bed to being part of "the big event" plot to have Kennedy killed.

Co-incidentally I just watched JFK this weekend, In that Jim Garrison (Kevin Costner) mentions that these files are due to be released in 2038 - so Trump brought the date forward then ? or are these different documents ?

Seemingly the film helped bring forward the release schedule.

For someone unfamiliar with this whole thing - what is the alternative theory on what happened to him?
Govt insiders shot him is it?
Save me googling and reading

I think the general idea is that Kennedy wasn't too keen on escalating tensions and risking war in southern east asia particularly after the bay of pigs fiasco in Cuba. He had been furious with the army generals who'd made a monumental screw up. Having been chewed out about that to put the foot down, Kennedy was seen as a weak leader by the most senior people in Defence. The cuban missile crisis ensured that mutual assured destruction was a stark reality for the two super powers and the horizon for nuclear exchanges was reduced significantly. Kennedy at the time was 3 years into his presidency and likely to remain until the end of the 60's after re-election. With a country that had a military industrial complex built up since the end of the 2nd World War and was in an ideological 'cold' war with communist Russia the growing influence of communism in south east asia was seen as an affront to US foreign affairs and that the US needed to police against that using conventional warfare. Having been supportive of the south against Diem in the north, who himself was assassinated 3 weeks before Kennedy.

They wouldn't be engaging Russia but would eliminate those who seemingly began to adopt communism. Vietnam was the place. The idea is that why would you spend billions upon billions of tax payer money on machines of war and simply have them lie idle while the true enemy was allowed to grow it's influence abroad. It was Kennedy's preference to use diplomacy in that regard which signed his death warrant.

The idea was that a psychological conspiracy developed among those in power, that it would be in no way bad thing if the President was not the President anymore. It must have been seen as what was best for 'the country' or 'national security'. Just like how US foreign wars are designed to remove 'undesirable' elements from resource rich countries to impose puppet governments for the sole (unstated) purpose of securing those resources for a good price, the conspiracy was to remove Kennedy without making it look like it was murder. Through coded, veiled communiques a group of skilled marksmen was assembled to assassinate him. All the while the same conspiracy moved to ensure that they had a patsy that fitted the official cover story, which was an intricate sequence of events that lead to Oswald winning the role completely unbeknownst to him i.e. it was a disgruntled commie who shot 3 shots off that managed to hit the most protected public servant in the world.

With him out of the way, the choppers and the hardware was now freed up to fight the fight against communism in Vietnam.

Or something.

Wasn't the gruesome 'magic bullet' shot to be the back of the head supposed to have been an accident from a secret service agent behind him?

I mean it's all theory etc but that one sounds logical and mundane enough to be credible I'd think.

Yeah a book came out in 1992 about that it was called "Mortal error"
Debunked I believe
