Who Killed JFK? What Trump Document Release Could Reveal 

President Donald Trump has promised to release the remaining classified documents related to the assassination of John F. Kennedy, once again stirring public interest in one of the most debated events in American history.

Speaking at his Sunday rally in Washington, D.C., Trump declared, “In the coming days, we are going to make public remaining records related to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, his brother Robert Kennedy, as well as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.“

This announcement comes more than 61 years after Kennedy’s death, an event that continues to captivate the public and fuel widespread conspiracy theories.

A poll released in 2022 showed approximately half the country believed there was a larger conspiracy involved in the president’s murder, rather than the official narrative of a lone gunman.

Unraveling JFK: The Conspiracy Theories That Just Won’t Die

The assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963 remains a subject of intense scrutiny and debate, particularly within the context of modern political discourse. Recent conversations, especially among supporters of former President Donald Trump, have revived interest in various conspiracy theories surrounding Kennedy’s death. Many attendees of commemorative events at Dealey Plaza express doubts about the official government narrative, which claims that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.

The Warren Commission, established to investigate the assassination, concluded in its 1964 report that Oswald was the sole shooter. However, decades of skepticism surrounding this conclusion have fueled alternative theories. Recent polling data indicates that approximately 65% of Americans question the findings of the Warren Commission, suggesting a persistent mistrust of official narratives.

Individuals like Nelson Vargas and Jeff Fulginiti have come forward, suggesting that the assassination involved wider conspiracies that included elements of the military-industrial complex, organized crime, and possibly even high-ranking government officials. Vargas articulated his belief that government entities collaborated to orchestrate Kennedy’s death, while Fulginiti pointed out the apparent motives behind these factions.

It’s Time to Rationally Re-Investigate the JFK Assassination

A few weeks ago, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. suspended his presidential campaign to endorse former President Trump. As Kennedy joined Trump on stage, Trump announced that, if he is elected, he will immediately declassify all records related to the JFK Assassination that continue to be held by the National Archives – something Trump failed to do during his last term. Trump also announced that he would form a commission on assassinations, which would include looking at his own assassination attempt, and the murders of Robert Kennedy, Sr. and President John F. Kennedy.   

Whether it is former President Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris, America desperately needs leadership that will provide transparency into these historical events. While the declassification of remaining JFK assassination records would be a wonderful development, the most important thing that could be done to regain the trust of Americans in their intelligence agencies is to reopen the investigation into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. 

Most Americans know that the Warren Commission determined in 1964 that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone to kill President Kennedy. Fewer Americans are aware of the conclusion of a congressional committee – the House Select Committee on Assassinations – in 1978 that President Kennedy was “probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy.” Yes, you read that correctly. The recent government investigation into the JFK Assassination determined that there was a conspiracy. 

After Oliver Stone’s film, JFK, was released in 1991, the public outcry to remove the shroud of secrecy around this historical event resulted in the JFK Records Act, which was passed unanimously and signed into law by George H. W. Bush. The JFK Records Act required the declassification of records and created the Assassination Records Review Board (ARRB), which forced the respective agencies to turn over records and sit for depositions. 

The work of the ARRB and subsequent declassified documents led to a mountain of new information about the assassination that has now had sufficient time to be absorbed by JFK Assassination scholars. The weight of that evidence now establishes by a standard of clear and convincing evidence that Lee Harvey Oswald didn’t act alone to kill President Kennedy. 

So, what evidence has been unearthed that would justify the time and resources of reopening the JFK Assassination? There are at least ten indisputable facts that establish that President Kennedy was killed as the result of a conspiracy, all of which are explored in depth in a book that I co-authored with James DiEugenio, Paul Bleau, Andrew Iler and Mark Adamczyk called The JFK Assassination Chokeholds: 

  • Interviews with numerous insiders who worked on previous investigations, from the Warren Commission to the HSCA to the ARRB, confirm that the Warren Commission got it wrong. 
  • Oswald had indisputable connections to intelligence agencies. 
  • Oswald was impersonated by others on numerous documented occasions. 
  • Oswald could not have been on the sixth floor when the shots were fired. 
  • Jack Ruby’s murder of Oswald was not in the heat of passion. It was premeditated. 
  • There were at least two other prior plots to kill President Kennedy before Dallas. 
  • Best practices for conducting autopsies were not followed for President Kennedy, resulting in an evidentiary mess. 
  • The single bullet theory cannot be true. 
  • There is overwhelming evidence of shots fired in front of President Kennedy. 
  • There has been sixty years of obstruction of justice, which was apparent in each investigation, and continues to exist today. 

When we put these bodies of evidence together, it is clear that President Kennedy was not killed by a lone assassin. Researchers and authors have speculated as to who was behind the conspiracy and whether Oswald was involved at all over the years. Still, we do not know exactly who killed President Kennedy.

Tucker Carlson Shares Details on Jack Ruby’s Sudden Death by Cancer After Being Visited By CIA Psychiatrist Involved in MKUltra

Alex Jones recently interviewed Tucker Carlson on Info Wars, and the founder of the Tucker Carlson Network had some interesting facts to share regarding Jack Ruby’s death.

Jack Ruby, who was born Jacob Rubenstein, was a nightclub owner who killed Lee Harvey Oswald just two days after Oswald was accused of assassinating President John F. Kennedy.

Tucker told Jones, “You do sort of wonder of how Jack Ruby died of galloping cancer like a week before his second trial.”

Jones added, “They have weaponized cancer that will kill you in two weeks.”

Tucker continued CIA psychiatrist, “Joylon West visits him, and next thing you know, ‘oh, I have terminal cancer. I’m dead in a week.’”

According to CIA declassified documents, Joylon West did administer special techniques to Ruby shortly after being jailed for the murder of Oswald.

In a report released by the CIA titled “Report of Examination Psychiatric Examination of Jack Ruby,”  it was revealed West used “hypnosis and intravenous sodium pentothal” techniques on Ruby.

Before becoming Ruby’s psychiatrist in prison, West was known for taking part in MkUltra, which was a CIA program that used LSD to brainwash and psychologically torture people.

West was also infamous for killing an elephant with LSD in 1962, which makes it even more bizarre that the CIA tagged him to take care of Ruby in jail just a year later in 1963.

CIA Secrecy On JFK Points To Criminal Culpability

More than 30 years ago, Congress enacted the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992. Enacted in the wake of Oliver Stone’s movie JFK, which posited that the Kennedy assassination was a regime-change operation on the part of the U.S. national-security establishment, the law mandated that all the assassination-related records of the Pentagon, the CIA, the Secret Service, the FBI, and other federal agencies be released to the public. Having succeeded in keeping their assassination-related records secret for almost 30 years, they didn’t like that at all.

Today — more than 60 years after the assassination — the CIA continues to keep thousands of its assassination-related records secret. Its justification? You guessed it: “national security,” the two most powerful and meaningless words in the American political lexicon. CIA officials maintain, with straight faces, that if those still-secret assassination-related records were released, the United States would fall into the ocean, be taken over by communists, or have its “national security” endangered in some other silly way.

How in the world can “national security” be threatened by the release of records that are more than 60 years old, regardless of what definition is placed on that nebulous term? Indeed, how can any American really believe this nonsense? They obviously take Americans for dupes.

It is a virtual certainty that those still-secret records contain circumstantial evidence that further confirms criminal culpability on the part of the CIA and the Pentagon in the assassination of President Kennedy. After all, the CIA knows that that is precisely what most everyone is thinking with respect to the continued secrecy of those records. Why would the CIA want to leave people thinking that? One reason: Because it’s better to have people thinking that those records contain incriminating evidence rather than knowing that they do.

What could the CIA be hiding with those still-secret records? The answer necessarily has to be speculative in nature, but my hunch is that some of the still-secret information deals with Mexico City, where the accused assassin Lee Harvey Oswald was supposed to have met with Cuban and Soviet officials.

“The New York Times Bestseller. about the search for the assassins of JFK. “Garrison’s book presents the most powerful detailed case yet made that President Kennedy’s assassination was the product of a conspiracy, and that the plotters and key operators came not from the Mob, but the CIA.”—Norman Mailer

More than fifty years after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, his murder continues to haunt the American psyche and stands as a turning point in our nation’s history.

The Warren Commission rushed out its report in 1964, but questions continue to linger: Was there a conspiracy? Was there a coup at the highest levels of government?

On March 1, 1967, New Orleans district attorney Jim Garrison shocked the world by arresting local businessman Clay Shaw for conspiracy to murder the president. His alleged co-conspirator, David Ferrie, had been found dead a few days before. Garrison charged that elements of the United States government, in particular the CIA, were behind the crime. From the beginning, his probe was virulently attacked in the media and violently denounced from Washington. His office was infiltrated and sabotaged, and witnesses disappeared and died strangely. Eventually, Shaw was acquitted after the briefest of jury deliberation and the only prosecution ever brought for the murder of President Kennedy was over.

On the Trail of the Assassins—the primary source material for Oliver Stone’s hit film JFK—is Garrison’s own account of his investigations into the background of Lee Harvey Oswald and the assassination of President Kennedy, and his prosecution of Clay Shaw in the trial that followed.”

JFK assassination at 60: Oswald ‘doubles’ show CIA hand in plot

Few things unite Americans like the certainty that John F. Kennedy was assassinated as the result of a conspiracy. This November 22, on the 60th anniversary of Kennedy’s assassination, polls show the overwhelming majority of US citizens do not believe accused assassin Lee Harvey Oswald acted without accomplices. Many contend the Communist “lone nut” shooter was in fact merely an innocent “patsy”, as he himself proclaimed not long before being snuffed out by mafioso Jack Ruby.

That such skepticism overflowed in the aftermath of Kennedy’s assassination, and has endured ever since, is highly unusual. Almost without exception, mainstream politicians, pundits, and journalists have enforced the official narrative of a single bullet taking Kennedy down. Along the way, Western audiences have been deluged with articles, books, “documentaries” and more reinforcing the findings of the Warren Commission, a politicized whitewash set up by Kennedy’s successor Lyndon B. Johnson, specifically to convict Oswald, and Oswald alone.

This is despite the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) concluding Kennedy was “probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy.” The CIA aggressively stonewalled that probe, and has since engaged in extensive information warfare efforts to publicly defend the Commission and its conclusions, while discrediting what it calls “conspiracy theories.” 

In 1967, the Agency circulated an internal brief calling upon its operatives “[to] discuss the publicity problem with liaison and friendly elite contacts, especially politicians and editors [and] employ propaganda assets to answer and refute the attacks of the critics… Book reviews and feature articles are particularly appropriate for this purpose.”

The CIA’s concerns were well-founded, and remain so. The Warren Commission and HSCA each unearthed enormous amounts of primary source material and eyewitnesses pointing away from Oswald’s guilt, and towards the Agency and its assets. Both struggled to provide any satisfactory resolution to the innumerable discrepancies, anomalies, oddities and suspicions its own investigators uncovered, which have perplexed and bedeviled independent researchers ever since. Chief among them, incontrovertible indications Oswald was being impersonated at numerous junctures prior to Kennedy’s assassination.

Strikingly too, Oswald “doubles” were often found in close quarters with US intelligence operatives, and assets. The existence of these impersonators is evidenced by ample documentation. In its totality, the paper trail documenting Oswald’s doppelgangers may provide the best proof of a JFK assassination plot orchestrated by elements of the CIA.

Dr. Cyril Wecht continues to rejet Warren Commission’s findings on JFK’s assassination

Sixty years ago today, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas.

The Warren Commission was created to determine what happened and concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald was the sole assassin. It’s a conclusion that Dr. Cyril Wecht continues to reject, as Wecht told KDKA-TV political editor Jon Delano.

At age 92, Wecht, a noted forensic pathologist, doctor and lawyer, is convinced that Oswald — if involved at all — did not act alone to kill the president.

“There were two shooters,” he said. “One from the rear and one from the right front behind the picket fence on the grassy knoll. I don’t believe Oswald was the shooter, but I’m not uptight about that. If they wanted Oswald as a shooter, we still have a conspiracy, two or more people involved.”

Wecht says there was a cover-up to hide the truth, beginning with the failure to use expert pathologists in the autopsy and the failure to examine the president’s brain.

“There’s no question about it,” he said. “Two shots were fired. They covered up. The autopsy was by two military pathologists who had never done a medical, legal gunshot autopsy in their entire careers. The brain was never examined. It was never dissected because it would have shown two hemorrhagic tracks through the brain by the bullets.”

The unanswered question remains: Who was responsible for the conspiracy to kill Kennedy?

Secret Service agent who was with JFK on day of his assassination breaks silence with claim that blows up the ‘magic bullet’ theory and suggests there WAS more than one shooter

A former Secret Service agent who was present at President John F. Kennedy’s assassination has come forward with a new claim that would debunk the ‘magic bullet’ theory and raises questions about whether there was a second shooter.

Paul Landis, 88, broke his silence on Saturday, nearly 60 years after Kennedy was shot dead in a motorcade passing through Dallas, to share his bombshell recollection with the New York Times. 

Landis, who in 1963 was a young Secret Service agent assigned to protect First Lady Jaqueline Kennedy, said that in the chaos following the shooting, he picked up a nearly pristine bullet sitting on the top of the back seat of the open limousine.

It was just behind where Kennedy was sitting when he was killed, he says. Landis says he took the projectile and placed it on the president’s hospital stretcher to preserve it for the autopsy investigators.

That bullet, the first piece of evidence logged in the murder investigation, has for six decades been said to have been found on the stretcher of Texas Governor John Connally, and was hypothesized to have fallen free from a wound to his thigh.

Landis thinks the bullet may have rolled onto Connally’s stretcher from Kennedy’s while they were next to each other. 

It has long been known as the ‘magic bullet’ — the bullet that supposedly passed through Kennedy’s neck from the rear, then entered Connally’s right shoulder, struck his rib, exited under his right nipple, passed through his right wrist and hit his left thigh. 

But Landis’ assertion that it had actually exited Kennedy in his Cadillac could lay waste to the magic bullet theory – and bolster the claim that Lee Harvey Oswald did not operate alone on the day of the murder.

JFK Documents Reveal Assassin’s CIA Monitor Was Reuben Efron, a Jewish Spy

For decades, armchair analysts scrutinizing the mysteries of the President John F. Kennedy assassination have fixated on whom, exactly, opened his future assassin’s mail while he was under CIA surveillance.

As the conspiracy theory went, that person would have understood Lee Harvey Oswald’s relationship with the Soviet Union and thus could unlock new information about a possible Communist plot against Kennedy — or a U.S. government plot to obscure his true killer.

Last month, a new document dump in the ongoing declassification of Kennedy documents revealed the identity of the CIA screener: one Reuben Efron, a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army and a Jewish immigrant from Lithuania.

The New York Times was the first to report Efron’s identity. “And that means — what, exactly?” the newspaper asked in its report. “A tantalizing clue to unraveling a complicated conspiracy that the government has sought to cover up for decades? Additional proof that the C.I.A. knew more about Oswald than initially acknowledged? Or a minor detail withheld all this time because of bureaucratic imperatives irrelevant to the question of whether Oswald was the lone gunman on the fateful day?”

A deep dive into Efron’s Jewish identity does not answer those questions. But it does reveal that Efron not only worked as a spy but had a deep knowledge of the spies in Jewish tradition.

The Jewish Telegraphic Agency has confirmed that Efron spent time living in Israel before dying on Nov. 22, 1993 — 30 years to the day after Kennedy’s assassination. While there, he contributed five articles in the 1970s to the Jewish Bible Quarterly, a World Zionist Organization-affiliated publication based in Jerusalem, that channeled his expertise in espionage.

“Rahab and her premises were under surveillance of a counterintelligence team of the king of Jericho who soon established that the two men visiting Rahab were actually Israelite spies,” he writes in one of the essays, referring to a Jericho courtesan who, according to the Book of Joshua, assisted the Israelites in preparing to rout the Canaanites. Efron called Rahab “a prototype of a Mata Hari,” the World War I-era exotic dancer-turned-spy.
