The release of 12,879 documents was not expected to include any new bombshells or change the conclusion reached by the commission led by chief justice Earl Warren that Lee Harvey Oswald, a former Marine and communist activist who had lived in the Soviet Union, acted alone. However, the latest cache will be useful for historians focusing on the events around the assassination.
Thousands of books, articles, TV shows and films have explored the idea that Kennedy’s assassination was the result of an elaborate conspiracy. None have produced conclusive proof that Oswald – who was fatally shot by nightclub owner Jack Ruby two days after killing Kennedy – worked with anyone else, although they retain a powerful cultural currency.
Congress in 1992 had ordered that all remaining sealed files pertaining to the investigation into Kennedy’s death should be fully opened to the public through the National Archives in 25 years, by 26 October 2017, except for those the president authorized for further withholding. All of the remaining JFK files were originally supposed to have been released in October 2021. Biden postponed that planned release, citing delays caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, and announced they would be instead disclosed in two batches: one on 15 December 2021, and another by 15 December 2022, after undergoing an intensive one-year review.

'Crazy and unpredictable': KGB's view on Lee Harvey Oswald revealed in latest release of JFK filesThe US National Archives releases thousands of documents related to the 1963 assassination of then-President John F Kennedy, including documents pertaining to Lee Harvey Oswald's connection with the USSR. A show I seen suggests when Oswald fired, a body guard in the car following JFK reacted and while bringing his rifle up accidently pulled the trigger & that's the shot that hit JFK's head, who knows but I good reason for a coverup, no ?. . Hilarious! The US govt asserts that all recirds will be released and that no records will remain redacted, yet they need to review the files before releasing them... What are they reviewing them for? It's a joke. Just like Warren's findings. The Lone Gunmen... . hold steady, anons this thread glows...

How to take the politics out of national securityAustralia should overhaul the way it makes national security decisions to ensure bipartisan support for long-term undertakings like AUKUS. So to translate that means you want Labor to include the LNP in running the government after they lost they election and will be out of power for a few more terms to come? Yeah thats not how that works… In a Democracy you cannot, for as we see with the silencing on TWITTER the elite then assume a State coresion right to force you to agree or else you are a security threat and they will use any means legal or otherwise to silence your resistance. Challenging paradigm=insane.
