Let’s talk about…the JFK files released!

Last night Donald Trump’s administration released two-thousand files, totaling over 60,000 pages, pertaining to the assassination of President John F Kennedy.

You can read them all here.

The files are in seemingly no order, with no index or search system, so combing through them will take a while.

The National Archive press release claims these are “all records previously withheld for classification”, but that’s then admit that’s not technically true [emphasis added]:

In accordance with President Donald Trump’s directive of March 17, 2025, all records previously withheld for classification that are part of the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection are released. The National Archives has partnered with agencies across the federal government to comply with the President’s directive in support of Executive Order 14176. As of March 18, 2025, the records are available to access either online at this page or in person, via hard copy or on analog media formats, at the National Archives at College Park, Maryland. As the records continue to be digitized, they will be posted to this page.

This is only the digitized ones, the undigitized ones are all available as well, you just have to go to the national archives in Maryland to see them. They’ll put those on the internet too, just as soon as they’re done digitizing them. Honest

Of course, the process of “digitizing the records” and the weeks it’s expected to take “historians and experts” to go over the files keeps the narrative open. They can add new files as they see fit to steer the conversation.

So far the media coverage has been exactly as you’d expect, with a quasi-religious repetition of the Official Story best exemplified by the pathetically predictable New York Times, where Adam Nagourney headlines simply:

Here’s what to know. (Oswald still did it.)

Propaganda so laughable you wonder if they’re really trying…and perhaps they’re not.

Social media reactions have been as you’d expect, too.

Republicans claim this is a case of “promises made, promises kept”. Democrats claim there’s no new information here, it’s just the same files Biden released with parts unredacted.

As is usually the case, it’s likely neither is entirely correct.

Author and JFK Expert Reveals a Critical JFK File That Was Not Released to the Public and Still Remains a Secret

Questions remain regarding the assassination of JFK even after President Trump fulfilled one of his long-standing political promises to release the files.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Donald Trump ordered the release of approximately 1,123 PDF files of previously classified documents related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, fulfilling a long-standing promise to declassify all remaining records.

These files, part of the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection, are accessible online at the National Archives (JFK Release 2025) or in person at the National Archives at College Park, Maryland.

There were several highlights, especially concerning alleged JFK assassin Lee Harvey Oswald. The files reveal Oswald was reportedly considered a “poor shot” during his target practice in the USSR, was under surveillance by the CIA 59 days before the assassination, and was a spy.

The files also show that former CIA agent Gary Underhill claimed the agency was responsible for JFK’s assassination. He was later found dead in what was ruled a “suicide.” More shockingly, a man named Sergy Czornonoh reportedly knew that Oswald would be killed after assassinating Kennedy and that legendary civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr. would also be assassinated. Czornonoh also allegedly knew in advance that Kennedy would be killed in Dallas.

But there remain unanswered questions, particularly surrounding the CIA and the man who succeeded Kennedy as president following the assassination: Lyndon Baines Johnson.

James Johnston, author of “Murder, Inc.: The CIA under John F. Kennedy,” explained to the USA Today revealed that a crucial document exists but has not been turned over to the National Archives. This paper concerns the first one-on-one conversation between President Lyndon Johnson and CIA Director John McCone, which occurred after Johnson assumed power following JFK’s assassination.

Trump’s promise to release JFK files sets off all-night scramble by DOJ’s National Security Division

The Justice Department’s National Security Division has been in a scramble trying to meet President Donald Trump’s promise on Monday to release declassified information from the JFK assassination investigation today.

Trump, during a visit Monday to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, announced the government would be releasing all the files on Kennedy’s assassination on Tuesday afternoon.

Less than half an hour after that announcement, the Justice Department’s office that handles foreign surveillance requests and other intelligence-related operations began to shift resources to focus on the task, sources said.

In an email just before 5 p.m. ET Monday, a senior official within DOJ’s Office of Intelligence said that even though the FBI had already conducted “an initial declassification review” of the documents, “all” of the attorneys in the operations section now had to provide “a second set of eyes” to help with this “urgent NSD-wide project.”

Eventually, however, it was other National Security Division attorneys who ended up having to help, sources said.

Attorneys from across the division were up throughout the night, into the early morning hours, each reading through as many as hundreds of pages of documents, sources said. Only prosecutors with an impending arrest or other imminent work did not have to help, sources said.

Trump says JFK files will be released Tuesday without redactions

President Donald Trump announced on Monday at the Kennedy Center that the files regarding former President John F. Kennedy’s assassination will be released on Tuesday without redactions.

“We are tomorrow announcing and giving all of the Kennedy files,” Trump said. “So people have been waiting for decades for this, and I’ve instructed my people that are responsible, lots of different people, put together by Tulsi Gabbard, and that’s going to be released tomorrow.”

The release will happen Tuesday afternoon, The Daily Wire reported.

“We have a tremendous amount of paper. You’ve got a lot of reading. I don’t believe we’re going to redact anything. I said, just don’t redact. You can’t redact,” Trump added. “But we’re going to be releasing the JFK files, and that would be tomorrow.”

“It’s approximately 80,000 pages,” he said. “So it’s a lot of stuff, and you’ll make your own determination.”

Trump said that the documents will be released without summaries so the public and media could drawn their own conclusions.

AG Pam Bondi Provides Update on Epstein Files, January 6, JFK, and MLK Assassination Documents

Attorney General Pam Bondi has promised again that the American people will finally receive long-awaited answers on the Epstein client list, the January 6th investigation, and the long-classified records related to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Pam Bondi is encountering growing impatience from MAGA supporters due to the absence of charges against prominent elites.

In an interview with Maria Bartiromo, Bondi made it clear that the government’s history of stonewalling crucial information is coming to an end under the new administration.

During the interview, Bartiromo pointed out that MAGA supporters are furious over the lack of transparency regarding Jeffrey Epstein’s associates.

It can be recalled that the so-called “Epstein Files: Phase One” was a colossal disappointment — heavily redacted pages handed over to a select group of MAGA influencers.

Bondi had hyped the release on Fox News with Jesse Watters the night before, promising “flight logs, names, and a lot of information” about Epstein’s depraved criminal network.

Conservatives braced for a bombshell that would finally unmask the elite swamp creatures tied to the notorious pedophile. Instead, they got a dud.

Speaking with Maria Bartiromo, Bondi confirmed that critical information has been withheld, and she is determined to get to the truth.

Sen. Tom Cotton Responds After Tucker Carlson Accuses Him of Working to Block Release of JFK Files

It’s Tucker Carlson versus Tom Cotton: And there’s not much room for misunderstanding.

The former Fox News host and popular podcaster used an interview Monday with former CNN host Chris Cuomo to make an incendiary claim about Cotton, the Republican senator from Arkansas.

And Cotton wasted no time in responding.

In his interview with Cuomo, Carlson claimed — without citing a source — that Cotton had used his post on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (Cotton is the committee’s chairman) to obstruct the hiring of an individual in an intelligence position because the individual would push for the release of files related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963.

“In January there was a scramble over who’s gonna get what jobs in the new administration,” Carlson said, about the 44-minute mark in the video above.

“At one point there was someone who was being discussed for a job in the intel world, and a member of the SSCI, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and Intel Committee, went to the people making the decision and said, ‘You cannot hire this person because this person will be certain to push for the release of the JFK files,’” Carlson said.

“So this is in — this is fact — this is in 2025, less than two months ago, and you have a sitting member of the United States Senate whose main goal is to keep those files secret. Then you have to ask yourself, ‘Why?’”

Carlson noted how much time has passed and how much information has come to light about covert activities since Kennedy was killed.

“If you’re telling me that six weeks ago, a member of the United States Senate was trying to keep someone out of a job in order to keep these files secret, that is to protect the CIA, I don’t believe that for a second.”

Carlson then asserted there continues to be a high-level conspiracy surrounding the Kennedy assassination.

Report reignites suspicions would-be Trump assassin wasn’t working alone

The New York Post recently published a report suggesting that the July 13 attempt on President Donald Trump’s life in Butler, Pennsylvania, may not have been solely the work of Thomas Matthew Crooks but rather the doing of a “criminal network” that has benefited from alleged efforts by law enforcement to suppress critical information about the shooting.

Dana Kennedy, a reporter who previously worked at CNN and MSNBC, did her apparent best to justify the Post’s claim of an exclusive by speaking to various people who knew Crooks. The report hinged, however, on a well-established theory, this time restated by a Pennsylvania private investigator who has reportedly done some digging in Butler.

Doug Hagmann told the Post that he was hired by a private client to look into the assassination attempt shortly after the deadly rally and has been working the case for several months with a team of six other investigators.

After interviewing over 100 people and conducting geofencing analysis of cellular devices not belonging to Crooks that were detected at his home, the rifle range where he practiced, and at the high school where he graduated two years prior to the shooting, Hagmann concluded, “We don’t think he acted alone.”

Various individuals who spoke to the Post characterized Crooks as a happy and “nerdy” individual — as someone whose transformation into a killer must have been private and possibly even nurtured.

U.S. Indicts 12 Chinese Nationals in ‘Hackers-for-Hire’ Conspiracy

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) on Wednesday announced 12 Chinese nationals have been indicted in a global “hackers-for-hire” scheme to “inflict digital harm on Americans who criticize the Chinese Communist Party.”

Court documents unsealed on Wednesday accused China’s Ministry of Public Security (MPS) and Ministry of State Security (MSS) of directing and financing the hackers to “conduct computer intrusions against high-value targets in the United States and elsewhere.”

“Victims include U.S.-based critics and dissidents of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), a large religious organization in the United States, the foreign ministries of multiple governments in Asia, and U.S. federal and state government agencies, including most recently in 2024,” DOJ said.

“By employing these hackers-for-hire, the PRC government further allowed these same hackers to profit by committing additional computer intrusions around the world with impunity, and then to sell stolen data through Chinese data brokers,” DOJ added.

The first two Chinese nationals indicted in the case, Yin “YKC” Kecheng and Zhou “Coldface” Shuai, were allegedly linked to a state-sponsored Chinese hacking group known as APT27, “LuckyMouse,” or “Emissary Panda.” 

The group has been active since 2010, with an early emphasis on cyber-espionage attacks against corporate and government systems in the Western world, the Middle East, and Taiwan. APT27’s later exploits included profitable cyber-crimes.

DOJ charged Yin and Zhou with “sophisticated computer hacking conspiracies that successfully targeted a wide variety of US.-based victims from 2011 to the present day,” inflicting “millions of dollars worth of damages.” Both Yin and Zhou have previously been named in multiple-count indictments for fraud, identity theft, and money laundering.

A second announcement from DOJ on Wednesday added indictments for two MPS officers and eight employees of an “ostensibly private” company called Anxun Information Technology Col. Ltd., also known as i-Soon.

Bridgeport Dem Arrested On Election Charges Says He Was Just “Following The Orders Of The Democratic Party”

Last week, five members of the Democrat Party in Connecticut were arrested on a variety of election charges, including Wanda “the ballot stuffer” Pataky, along with Bridgeport City Council members Alfredo Castillo, Maria Pereira, and Jazmarie Melendez, and campaign staffer Margaret Joyce.

In a statement Friday afternoon, Chief State’s Attorney Patrick J. Griffin said the charges were connected to “the misuse of absentee ballots” during Bridgeport Mayor Joseph Ganim’s campaign for re-election in 2023.

In response to his arrest, according to Only in Bridgeport, Castillo said he was “pissed off and frustrated” that he had to “go through this” because he had been told Ganim would lose “if we don’t get out the vote.”

Castillo then specifically accused Governor Ned Lamont, Sen. Richard “Danang Dick” Blumenthal, Sen. Chris Murphy, and Congressman Jim Himes of directly benefitting off the illegal actions which resulted in increased turnout in Bridgeport.

Castillo further claimed he was innocent and just “following the orders of the Democratic Party.”

“This is what they tell us to do, get out the vote. Then we get criminalized,” Castillo said. “Our job is to get out the vote. We’re loyal. Always the foot soldiers get whacked and then everyone benefits –  Ganim, Lamont, Blumenthal, Murphy, Himes. Then it’s thank you, we’ll see you in four years.”

Bridgeport election results did show a higher percentage of democrat votes than the state average for 2024, with around 75% of votes going to Murphy and Himes in Bridgeport, as compared to around 60% for those candidates at the state level.
