On the afternoon of Friday before arguably one of the busiest holiday weekends in America, the Biden administration issued a memo announcing that due to national security, it was going to postpone the release of certain classified documents relevant to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy (JFK).
Despite the quiet announcement on the eve of the July 4th weekend, it sparked off outrage led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK Jr.) who has in recent times openly speculated that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was behind his uncle’s assassination and that he could be in danger from the agency.
In a barrage of Twitter posts, Kennedy, who is gaining momentum against Joe Biden for the 2024 Democratic nomination for president, suggested a coverup.
“The assassination was 60 years ago. What national security secrets could possibly be at risk? What are they hiding?” he asked.
He blasted Biden for choosing the timing to cover the “bad news” he would be “maintaining secrecy indefinitely” on JFK assassination records.
Kennedy charged that the postponement was an “unlawful” violation of the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992, which mandated the release of all government-held JFK assassination records no later than October 2017.
The White House announcement is unlawful. In 1992 the JFK Records Act was passed unanimously by Congress with the promise that all assassination related records would be released no later than October 2017. This promise has broken once again with this midnight announcement.

The records have been kept with the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). The deadline to release the JFK assassination documents has been repeatedly extended including under the Trump Administration.
However, the law does include an exception in instances where the president certifies that a continued delay is “made necessary by an identifiable harm to the military defense, intelligence operations, law enforcement, or conduct of foreign relations” and the harm is “of such gravity that it outweighs the public interest.”
In December, as part of a partial release of new records, Biden issued a signed agreement that the remainder would be released on June 30, the eve of the Independence Day weekend.
On Friday, the White House announced that more than 99 percent of the records have been publicly released. But in the memo signed by Biden, the president said that NARA’s acting archivist recommended he postpone the public release of “certain redacted information” in the records released back in December.
“[C]ontinued postponement of public disclosure of that information is necessary to protect against identifiable harms to the military defense, intelligence operations, law enforcement, and the conduct of foreign relations that are of such gravity that they outweigh the public interest in disclosure,” the memo states.
Biden also said that future release of the withheld JFK assassination records would “occur in a manner consistent” with a policy called the Transparency Plan, which was established by the National Declassification Center (NDC).
“The Transparency Plans will ensure that the public will have access to the maximum amount of information while continuing to protect against identifiable harms to the military defense, intelligence operations, law enforcement, and the conduct of foreign relations under the standards of the Act,” wrote Biden in the memo.
Since declaring his candidacy for president, Kennedy has become increasingly vocal about his belief that evidence shows his uncle JFK was murdered by the American government.
He noted that among the members of the Warren Commission, as it was named, to review the assassination, was ex-CIA Director Allen Dulles, who was fired by President Kennedy.
Dulles died in 1969, six years after Kennedy’s 1963 assassination and denied any involvement in Kennedy’s murder.
Dulles International Airport in Washington was named after his brother John Foster Dulles, who served as secretary of state under President Dwight Eisenhower.
RFK Jr. believes Dulles used his position with the Warren Commission to cover up evidence of CIA involvement. He said in a recent interview that his own father’s “first instincts” was that the federal agency carried out the killing.
The CIA has long denied any involvement in the 35th president’s death.
In 1979, a U.S. House review committee appointed to study evidence of the assassination concluded that at least two gunmen and co-conspirators were involved in Kennedy’s murder.
The only person ever accused of killing Kennedy was former U.S. Marine Lee Harvey Oswald. Oswald, who denied being the assailant, was killed a few days after Kennedy’s death by nightclub owner Jack Ruby.
Ruby was convicted and sentenced to prison where he died in 1967 while waiting for a new trial after winning an appeal of his conviction.
In mid-June, national conservative podcaster Joe Rogan asked Kennedy if he was concerned about his safety in relation to being targeted by intelligence agencies, like the CIA.
Kennedy said yes, that “he has to be careful” and that he does “take precautions.”

I seem to remember Trump also choosing to continue the stonewalling on JFK.
Yes.
So stated in the article.
Jim Garrisons book…….On the trail of the assassins . ………..makes a very compelling case it was the CIA.
Garrison just didn’t go far enough; it was the CIA along with other agencies and the Israelis.
If indeed there was an assassination. The whole thing could be another hoax. I have read credible witness testimony, some from Secret Service agents, that JFK faked his death because he didn’t want to be remembered as a president who got us into a useless war (useless to us; not to the MIC) and RFK faked his death to cement the conspiracy angle and deflect away from the truth. One agent claimed that JFK was replaced by a look-alike who had special-effects makeup appliances around his face and neck (what they call squibs in the movies) and that was who got “shot.” His story actually has some credibility too, because JFK’s motorcade made at least two stops along the way before going into Dealey Plaza, once for JFK to holler at a girl and another where he actually got out of the limo and went inside a building, coming out several minutes later. Or maybe he didn’t.
The Kennedy family is one of the richest, most powerful families in America. Do you really believe a family with that much stroke is going to allow two of their male heirs to be killed (without retribution)? Honestly: what do you think the odds are?
According to one agent who was present at the party the night Teddy supposedly drove off the bridge in Chappaquiddick, it was JFK — who was still alive in 1969, living at the Kennedy compound in Hyannis Port — who was involved with Mary Jo Kopechne, who foolishly threatened to blackmail him, and that Teddy never left the party. The agent claimed it was the Secret Service who took care of Mary Jo, and the reason Teddy took the fall was, he was never going to be president; he was the family fuckup. This is also why Teddy was never charged in the incident: he wasn’t there.
So, having said all that, are you still ready to believe Garrison told the whole story?
Hmmm….
Thanks, captain.
As stated……..I think he makes a good case for CIA/MIC as the killers.
The tinfoil helmet is screwed on a bit too tight…. bruh…
Another distraction by constantly talking about documents that mean absolutely nothing. Do people actually believe there are classified documents in a safe somewhere that say that the CIA killed Kennedy? What utter nonsense.
Anybody who’s capable of doing basic research knows that Oswald didn’t kill Kennedy, and that the magic bullet theory is complete bullshit, and that the Warren Commission was put together to cover all that up. What’s the fucking mystery here?
The governments of China and Russia lie to their own people. The Feds would never do that here.
10 years old when it happened. Likely no records left to incriminate the real perps. Those with personal knowledge are our enemies.
Seeing that JFK was demanding that Israel come clean about their nuclear program at Dimona… by submitting to inspections there and losing U.S. foreign aid if they didn’t– and the fact that PM David Ben-Gurion RESIGNED in protest to Kennedy’s demands– why don’t people think Israel had a MASSIVE motive to get rid of Kennedy? And the means via the Mossad, possibly THE MOST SUUCCESSFUL international hit squad in world history, possibly in collusion with the CIA? KENNEDY– like all viable, vetted pres candidates nowadays– was also indebted to big jewish campaign donors.
The Kennedy’s were declared Ex Communicado by the High Table decades ago. It’s only a matter of time before his contract goes wide. That’s bad for your health, Robert.
Hah! Would publicizing proof that the deep state (long denied even to exist, ya conspiracy nuts) assassinated the president (and his brother) be a national security risk? I asks ya, would it?
How deep into primaryville will Trump or Kennedy get before the deep state (rumored to exist by a few conspiracy kooks) assassinates them? Or will they wait until the general? Probably better to wait, easier to select the next figurehead once the deplorables have blown off their steam and it’s down to two and the wire. Maybe even wait until after the election, like they did with JFK.
If the evidence was exculpatory it would have been made public years, decades ago. One problem with censorship of all overt kinds, it tells you directly what the mutts (referred to by some paranoids as the deep state) are afraid of.
