The Deep State has once again prevented the release of evidence documenting the CIA’s complicity in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy almost 60 years ago. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., recently stated that the “CIA’s murder of my uncle was a successful coup d’état from which our democracy has never recovered.” Thanks to President Biden, that rift may continue to widen.
None of the JFK-related files were to be withheld from the public after October 2021. But Biden, who protects the Deep State while it covers up for him, released only a few innocuous records while concealing the most important documents. Only 95% of the JFK documents have been entirely released to the public, as the Deep State hides its own misconduct by withholding the final 5%. In 1992, Congress required that all withheld documents about the JFK assassination be released to the public by October 26, 2017, except as ordered by the president.
Trump’s instincts were right when he promised to release all the JFK documents while he was president, but was reportedly talked out of it by his former CIA Director Mike Pompeo. Now Pompeo, backed by a web of dark money funding, is assembling the resources to challenge Trump’s reelection.
The next presidential election will be about reining in the Deep State, and part of that should be releasing all of the missing JFK files. The 95% figure that is thrown around might seem like a lot, but don’t think for a moment that the Deep State hasn’t been carefully holding back all of the most important ones. Only a full release of every file will tell the full story of how the CIA was involved in the national tragedy.
They say that sunlight is the best disinfectant. If that is true, our federal law enforcement bodies should be the first ones to be exposed. If they have a record of fumbling their duty that extends at least as far back as the Kennedy Administration, the American people deserve to know so that we can react accordingly. Grassroots power cannot be flexed in the absence of information.
