"Mr. President, all the JFK assassination files are going to be released to public!"

"Good! Now I can prove once and for all that Lyin' Ted Cruz's dad was behind it all!"

"But, sir, they just confirm that Oswald acted alone and was a really good shot."

"What? That can't be! Classify them, CLASSIFY THEM ALL!"

It's only the narcissist-in-chief that would make a big thing about doing something that would happen without him.   The stuff's almost certainly been FOIA'd for a long time and now that it isn't classified, the agencies have nothing to stop them from having to comply with that law.

The only possible interesting thing the files could show is that Oswald was funded and aided by the Russian government. That's the only meaningful question that needed to be answered.

"White House spokeswoman Lindsay Walters told the magazine because some of the records within the thousands of pages of information were not created until decades later, they needed to be reviewed to guarantee there would be no "identifiable harm" to national security if they were to be made public. "

Translation: Good luck if you think you'll learn a damn thing.

The Russian records that came out oust USSR collapse said he wasn't. They were as surprised he was a lone gunman as we were.

Zero channce the release will change any conspiracy theories. The declassification of over 3000 documents likely riddled with conflicting information is at best some flesh for a new Netflix Documentary Original. (2018 "The Knoll") In 1963, sure, but declassification is moot now that people stopped trusting the govt a long time ago.

I'm sure Trump wants to release them so that his buddy Alex Jones can comb through them and find proof that the Illuminati or Rosicrucians did it.

The Act requires that all documents be released with no redactions. You will get to see that page and wonder, "The government decided to classify this? WTF?!!"

As I've said in previous threads, I would rather see the files that the Kennedy Library keeps secret in order to continue the myth of Camelot.

You can't prove a negative.  So you can't prove I didn't do it, despite the fact that I wasn't alive then.

The fact that there is such a thing as corporate lobbyists with no limits on what they can pay for a politician is 100% proof of government corruption.
You don't need half-century-old files to prove this. Just the existence of entities such as Koch brothers is all you need.

Trump is going to find out that Cruz's father was not involved and releasing the papers will make him look like even more of a liar (if that's even humanly possible) and he'll decide to block them at the last minute.

Yep. Way, way too much stuff is considered classified. There would be much more trust of government if they weren't so ridiculously secretive (and how is it that agencies can keep info, especially financial info, from Congress? Not good).

Maybe we get to find out where George HW Bush in Dallas.  Says he can't remember where he was even though every American remembers and he was in Intel.

As I understand a lot of the conspiracy theories revolve around the idea that Kennedy was doing something that the organisation in question disliked (or was not doing something they wanted him to).

These days they would just start a super PAC to influence his actions.

The best part of this is that multiple agencies are scrambling to keep the documents classified because some of them were written as recently as the early 90's. I have a hard time believing anything from 25 years ago has any strategic value, let alone 50 years ago.

Lost Thought 00: The only possible interesting thing the files could show is that Oswald was funded and aided by the Russian government. That's the only meaningful question that needed to be answered.


It seems like we Americans in particular have no ability to grasp that some people feel a singular righteous cause with no input from another else, and some men just want to watch the world burn. There has to be a conspiracy, because none of us can be that evil.

Tinderlicious: Maybe we get to find out where George HW Bush in Dallas.  Says he can't remember where he was even though every American remembers and he was in Intel.


Likely answer: He was taking a mean dump. Somehow, the reverberations of his primal scream as it ripped its way out of his sphincter set off Oswald's gun that he'd had no intention of firing in the first place.

Trump and Trump base don't care if he is caught in Yet Another Lie, it happens just about every day anyway.
