These Six Assassination Files Can Clarify the JFK Story in 2024

The government keeps these documents under wraps, while insisting there’s nothing to see.

“It’s unlikely that somewhere in a CIA vault they have a document that says we did it,” Joseph Uscinski, a University of Miami political science professor told McClatchy News in December 2022 upon the release of several thousand JFK files that had long been partially classified. “So, I’m not exactly sure what people think they’re going to get.”

I have a pretty good idea of what we’re going get from the last of the JFK files: corroboration that certain top CIA officers were running a covert operation involving Lee Harvey Oswald when President John F. Kennedy was killed. Such disclosures will lend credence to Rob Reiner and Soledad O’Brien’s popular podcast “Who Killed JFK?” (7 million downloads and counting), which says the president was ambushed by enemies of his liberal foreign policies on Cuba, Vietnam and the Soviet Union.
