Just read on ZH that apparently this isn’t going to happen. What’s that make the score for trump, like 1-15 or something? I give him the single ‘win’ for the Supreme Court seat he filled, but even that’s too soon to call. He may well end up being more John Roberts and less Scalia than we hoped.
Exactly. Are we to wonder if the CIA would pass on any inference, not to imagine proof, of their own complicity? Just how many times do you suppose those files were scrubbed? Might there be some collection of circumstances now gleaned that perhaps point some blame on them? I suppose but it doesn’t matter. We know what we need to know. The truth was hidden from the american people for 50+ years because our masters didn’t want us to know it and didn’t have to tell it.
God bless all those GI’s out there fighting and dying to protect our privileges.
“God bless all those GI’s out there fighting and dying to protect our privileges”.
Not sure if you are serious, or using sarcasm?
Privileges? How about rights? Do they count?
Fighting and dying to protect the military complex/Wall street corporate profits.
As far as “releasing” any “new” JFK assassination documents – may as well fart into the wind!
Nothing but a distraction, from what should be the focus of the nation. Criminal corruption.
Hey Out. Shit no it wasn’t sarcasm. It was the brutal truth. You have no rights. You never have. Here’s the truth you missed:

Trump Blocks Full Release Of JFK Assassination Records After Last Minute CIA Push
by Tyler Durden
Oct 26, 2017 6:38 PM
With much of America clicking furiously all day Thursday on the website of the National Archives, hoping to be among the first to catch the release of thousands of previously unseen JFK Assassination records, the U.S. government was in danger of missing the deadline to release the trove of previously classified records from the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, “adding an unexpected twist to a saga already rife with rumors and conspiracies” according to NBC.
Caving to lobbying pressure by intelligence agencies, Trump announced he would not order the release of the full tranche of records, instead following last-minute recommendations of his national security agencies that some of those records be redacted, White House officials said. During a call with reporters, White House officials explained that while some 2,800 JFK records will be released today, the publications of the remaining records has been postponed for 180 days to give agencies more time to figure out what they want redacted. By late Thursday afternoon, the memo specifying which material the CIA, State Department and other agencies still want to keep under wraps had yet not made it to Trump’s desk, intel officials told NBC News.
“There’s a mad scramble going on in the executive branch to get this done,” one official said.
As CBS adds, the delay requests – some of which were registered a couple of months ago and some more recently – come from agencies throughout the government including the CIA and FBI. Some of the worry seems to center around documents created in the 1990’s, when the congressional committee was crafting the legislation setting Thursday as the release date. Officials told CBS News there is concern the documents may reveal sources and operations from the near past and include current people or operations. Of particular concern, according to officials, are names in the documents.
CBS News’ Chip Reid interviewed JFK scholar Larry Sabato, at the University of Virginia’s Miller Center, who said he had been told that “at least most of it will not be released Thursday because not just the CIA, but apparently other agencies, unnamed — I assume the FBI is one — are appealing.”
Sabato says that the CIA wants some of the names in the documents redacted, and some of the paragraphs they say reveal the names of sources or methods used by the CIA.
In any case, the reason behind the delay remains a mystery. As CNN’s Jim Acosta notes, senior administration officials declined to discuss the contents of the files that will be released, including whether they contain evidence of a conspiracy surrounding Kennedy’s death.
Trump will issue a memo to heads of intelligence agencies saying “the American public expects and deserves its government to produce as much access as possible to the John F. Kennedy assassination records. “I am ordering today that the veil finally be lifted” on the records, the memo will say. The President will also note that law enforcement and foreign affairs agencies have requested that certain records remain redacted.
“I have no choice” but to keep those records under wraps, the memo will say. In his memo, Trump will order intelligence agencies to re-review their reasons for keeping the records redacted, and to report back in 180 days.
What will remain classified?
According to CNN, officials said the sensitive information that will remain redacted for now relates to “intelligence and law enforcement” details. That includes the identity of individuals involved in the investigation into the assassination and their roles as informants to law enforcement, a senior administration official said.
It also includes information about foreign partner organizations that were involved in the investigation, the official said.
“The President heard those justifications from the agencies that requested the continuing postponement and he acknowledged that information … requires protection,” the official said. Agencies requesting continued redaction of certain documents will need to submit a report to the archivist by March 12, 2018, explaining why those documents meet that standard, the White House said.
Documents determined to not meet those standards will need to be released by April 26, 2018.
Trump’s decision to keep some documents secret is likely to keep conspiracy theories alive, fueling those who have long questioned official conclusions about the assassination and argued that the government has helped cover up the truth.

If and when these documents are finally released we can be sure that they will not prove anything. Any incriminating evidence connecting the CIA to Kennedy’s death was long ago shredded, burned, or made to disappear by some means. The CIA has had 50 years to tie up loose ends, so you can be sure everything has been scrubbed as clean as suit at a Chinese dry cleaner.
If you want to know what happened, read the book “JFK and the Unspeakable” by James Douglass. Douglass lays out a heaping pile of evidence that our own government took out the President because he threatened the CIA and the military-industrial complex. But don’t believe me, I wear a tin-foil hat.

If you are waiting for the same criminals who murdered JFK to release information that will incriminate them, then you have seriously fallen for the greatest lie in history (that government can be trusted for ANYTHING).

Prepare to gain a deep understanding of the man, Lee Harvey Oswald. You will know his deepest secrets, the types of friends he had, his complete travel history, his bowel movements 48 hours before the event and finally, the type of sandwich he ate and the cola he drank (Pepsi or Coke?) before firing the bullet that killed the President. The darkest question to be revealed will be, was he in Mexico for two or three weeks? I can’t wait for the answer to that one.
That’s about it. If there was a conspiracy, do you think the conspirators would seal their dirty deed in a sealed document? Or, maybe the presidents missing brain may suddenly appear between pages 708 and 709?
But what will happen will be the thorough exposure of the patsy with enough intriguing questions bantered about that the search for the actual truth of what happened and who the puppet masters were, will be lost in all the BS. Any attempt to expose the totally discredited official story will be laughed away; much as it was before the document release.
Maybe because some 90 year old contact in the Mexican government’s cover will be blown?
Actually, after going over all the documents, there may be some conflicting information that may shed light exposing the official story. Just a guess.

This will be like the Soviet Union, it was only after its collapse and replacement with a new system that the secrets of the old one were made known.
We won’t be allowed to know the truth, every President from Johnson on has cooperated in keeping the truth secret. Maybe, or maybe probably, because they didn’t want to meet or have their families meet the same fate.
It will continue this way till our current government no longer remains and something new takes its place that won’t need to keep the secret any longer.
A shame.

“It also includes information about foreign partner organizations that were involved in the investigation, the official said.”
Well of course! Maybe I give Americans too much credit but I tend to think many would go apeshit if Israeli involvement was documented.
I have no doubt about about the triad behind the JFK assassination….
1) CIA
2) Israel
3) The jewish mob.
That was my immediate thought when the announcement was confirmed by Trump.
Just read on ZH that apparently this isn’t going to happen. What’s that make the score for trump, like 1-15 or something? I give him the single ‘win’ for the Supreme Court seat he filled, but even that’s too soon to call. He may well end up being more John Roberts and less Scalia than we hoped.
The CIA made him an offer he couldn’t refuse.
A single win?
What a complete idiot you are.
Exactly. Are we to wonder if the CIA would pass on any inference, not to imagine proof, of their own complicity? Just how many times do you suppose those files were scrubbed? Might there be some collection of circumstances now gleaned that perhaps point some blame on them? I suppose but it doesn’t matter. We know what we need to know.

Having no doubts with no evidence to support not having them leads one into going many false and destructive directions.
Really!!! We are going to get un sanitized facts from the Kennedy investigation???
