Classified information drives controversies over Trump, Biden, and JFK files
The Public Interest Declassification Board (PIDB) is hosting "America’s Secrets: Classified Information and Our Democracy," a two-day event featuring a public meeting of the PIDB and a keynote conversation with the Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines on Thursday, January 26th, and a full-day conference featuring a keynote address from Senator John Cornyn on Friday, January 27th.
As Director of National Intelligence, Haines oversees the work of the entire U.S. intelligence community. She is a former deputy director of the CIA, which continues to withhold information from more than 4,000 records related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
Established by statute, the seven member PIDB advises the President of the United States regarding issues pertaining to national classification and declassification policy, including the JFK assassination files.
The PIDB’s blog: Transforming Classification has more information about the Board’s activities.
Gina Haspel comes to mind for some reason. Remember the Bitch of Buchenwald? But I digress.
Will she answer questions and will some journalist grill her over withholding the JFK docs? (No. This is the land of unaccountable bureaucrats and a domesticated, uncritical press.)
It's easy for the American people to think that a particular person or politician may be evil. What's hard for them to accept is that their government is evil--pure effing evil. What the CIA fears most is the American people coming to that realization. That's the reason for the continuing coverup of the CIA's involvement in the assassination.
The Men Who Killed Kennedy is a remarkable documentary series for those who haven't seen it. Full series:
