Trump promises to release CIA files on the JFK assassination: What will they show? Who Did It??

Most Americans would be shocked to hear who some of the best researchers say had the motive and the means -- and everything to lose if JFK remained president

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. stepped up onto the stage at the Trump rally last Friday night to a wall of sound — the cheers and applause of tens of thousands of Trump supporters, as the line from the Foo Fighters song rang out - “There goes my hero.”

It was ELECTRIC, and a sight never to be forgotten by those of us who watched it.

But it was soon followed up by an equally thrilling announcement from President Donald Trump, during his on-stage introduction of Kennedy.

“In honor of Bobby, I am announcing tonight that upon my election I will establish a new independent presidential commission on assassination attempts … and they will be tasked with releasing all of the remaining documents pertaining to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy,” Trump said.

A roar of approval rose up from the packed stadium and Kennedy, standing off to Trump’s right, clapped gladly.

What will the documents show?

What do we know?

On his “Judging Freedom” podcast earlier this year, Judge Andrew Napolitano, formerly a Fox News commentator, was interviewing Columbia University professor Jeffrey Sachs, and told Sachs about a phone conversation he had with President Trump about a week before he left office, in January of 2021.

In that conversation, Napolitano said he told Trump that he was disappointed that he hadn’t followed through on a promise he made to the public many times and to him privately.

He said Trump responded with surprise, saying: “What, what? I’ll take care of it right now…”

Napolitano reminded Trump that he’d promised he would release all of the records related to the JFK assassination.

He said Trump responded:

“Judge, if they showed you what they showed me, you wouldn’t have released it either.”

So Trump has seen the records on the JFK assassination, but didn’t want to release them.

Why?

The redacted 28 pages of the 9/11 report — which were withheld from the public for 14 years and were finally released by the Obama Administration in 2016 — showed that the government of Saudi Arabia was in contact with and providing material support to at least some of the 9/11 hijackers — a stunning revelation considering the close relationship between the Bush family and Prince Bandar, a member of the Saudi royal family and the Saudi ambassador to the United States for 22 years. Also stunning because following 9/11, the United States spent $7 TRILLION on waging wars on three different countries (Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya), none of which had anything to do with the attacks of 9/11 — while maintaining a close relationship with the country that was most likely involved in sponsoring the hijackers.

Is there a parallel with the JFK assassination records?

Was a foreign nation involved in the JFK assassination? Is this why Trump didn’t want the records released?

In Roger Stone’s 2013 book, “The Man Who Killed Kennedy: The Case Against LBJ,” it’s revealed that after the assassination of JFK in Dallas on November 22, 1963, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev was “inconsolable.”

“He just wandered around his office for several days, like he was in a daze,” a Soviet official told Pierre Salinger, who was the press secretary to JFK and after JFK’s assassination, to President Lyndon Johnson.

Soviet intelligence later concluded that Johnson was responsible for the assassination of JFK.

The reports from Cuba were also interesting.

Also from Stone’s book….Two days before he was assassinated, JFK had sent a journalist to Cuba in an attempt to open a channel of communication with Fidel Castro.

When told two days later of Kennedy’s assassination, Castro was not happy.

“This is bad news,” he said. “This is bad news. This is bad news,” repeating the same sentence three times.

Both the Soviet Union and Cuba were suspected by many Americans of some involvement in the JFK assassination, given that JFK’s standoff with the Soviet Union in the Cuban Missile Crisis had taken place just a year earlier, in October of 1962.

But there was never any real evidence of guilt by either Russia or Cuba, and Stone’s book reports that Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona and many others in Washington suspected Johnson, or Johnson and the CIA.

I have to confess that prior to just a few years ago, the JFK assassination did not hold only special interest for me and I was somewhat perplexed as to why so many Americans of an earlier generation seemed so fixated on it.

It wasn’t until reading Roger Stone’s book — which I picked up after reading his excellent takedown of the Bush family in “Jeb! and the Bush Crime Family” — that I finally understood.

It wasn’t just that the shocking and violent killing of an American president had shattered the psyche of most Americans. It was the deep suspicion most thinking people had that the terrible deed was done by members of our own government, and the realization of what this meant: That our country was not ours anymore — that it was lost on that day in 1963 and remains under the control of … of whom? We don’t know exactly.

Having finally understood the importance of this enormous event in our history, I began to read a little more.

For a while I accepted that it was the CIA that planned and carried out the assassination of JFK in 1963 (using Lee Harvey Oswald as a patsy) and then Robert F. Kennedy in 1968, just as it was looking like he would get the Democratic nomination for president.

I’m a little embarrassed now, however, that I just accepted the simple statement that: “The CIA did it.”

I shouldn’t have.

From 2012 until 2015 I’d worked with three former CIA analysts; one of them, Fred Fleitz, on an everyday basis, editing a global intelligence website that was to compete with Stratfor. Fred and the others were hardly villains. Fred certainly wasn’t. But one thing I learned from Fred and also Lisa Ruth, who also worked with us and was still at that time a CIA trainer, was that the CIA is highly compartmentalized, with the Iran desk having no idea what people on the Russia desk or the Cuba desk were doing, for example. It was all on a need-to-know basis. There were no company-wide meetings. There was no one CIA.

Earlier this year, I happened to come across a piece on the excellent website The Unz Review, run by Ron Unz, former tech entrepreneur, Republican U.S. Senate candidate from California and for a time the publisher of The American Conservative. Basically ALL of the third rail issues of American politics are covered on his site, which makes it a fascinating read. Unz has written on the JFK assassination himself and last November published a piece with the headline: “Kennedy Assassination: ‘CIA Did It’ Theorists are Covering for Israel.” It was written by Laurent Guyénot, the author of the book The Unspoken Kennedy Truth, and of the film Israel and the Assassinations of the Kennedy Brothers.

It was the first I’d heard that Israel may have been involved in the assassination of JFK.

In the article, Guyénot drills down into the accusation that the CIA was involved.

“First of all, what CIA are we talking about?” he asks. “Certainly not the CIA that CIA director John McCone (appointed by Kennedy) knew about. Most CIA-theorists agree that the CIA’s strings attached to Oswald came from the office of Counterintelligence chief James Jesus Angleton. In the words of John Newman, a respected CIA-theorist, ‘No one else in the Agency had the access, the authority, and the diabolically ingenious mind to manage this sophisticated plot.’

Guyénot notes: “But Angleton was certainly not ‘the CIA.’ Rather, as Peter Dale Scott wrote, he ‘managed a “second CIA” within the CIA.’”

James Angleton was accountable to no one. His supervisor, Richard Helms “let Angleton do as he pleased, few questions asked,” his biographer wrote.

In addition to being the head of Counterintelligence, Angleton also headed the Israeli desk at the CIA and was particularly close to the leadership of the Mossad — reportedly closer to them than he was to his own CIA bosses.

“Meir Amit, head of Mossad from 1963 to 1968, called him ‘the biggest Zionist’ in Washington, while Robert Amory, head of the CIA Directorate of Intelligence, called him a “co-opted Israeli agent,” writes Guyénot.

When Angleton died, five former heads of the Mossad and Shin Bet came to his funeral.

The claim that the CIA did it Guyénot refers to as a “cover story” for the real perpetrators — the Israelis.

He posits that Israel wanted to eliminate JFK because he opposed Israel’s development of nuclear weapons at Dimona, a city in the Negev desert.

Declassified documents show that Kennedy was vehemently opposed to Israel becoming a nuclear power, and that Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion was insisting that Israel had to have nuclear weapons — that its survival depended upon it.

In May of 1963, Kennedy wrote a letter to Ben-Gurion, explaining his position that Israel’s pursuit of a nuclear weapons capability was a serious threat to world peace.

Ben-Gurion begged Kennedy to reconsider his position, but in a reply, Kennedy stood firm, insisting that Israel allow a visit from U.S. observers to calm any doubts about the nature of the Dimona project.

Ben-Gurion didn’t reply. He resigned as prime minister shortly after.

That fall, on Nov. 22, 1963, Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas.

Lyndon Johnson became the president, and although most people said that Johnson appeared to continue the policies of the Kennedy administration, there was one exception: There was no continuation of Kennedy’s insistence that Israel not pursue nuclear weapons and Israel did in fact become a nuclear power.

Also, Johnson supported Israel’s invasion of Egypt and Syria in 1967 and let Israel get away with the attack on the USS Liberty, a U.S. Navy research ship that was attacked by Israeli fighter jets and torpedo boats, suddenly and without warning, killing 34 sailors and wounding 173. The $40 million ship was damaged beyond repair and never sailed again.

The assassination of President John F. Kennedy, says Guyénot, should be viewed as a coup d’etat. And of course, the assassination four years later of his brother, Robert F. Kennedy, should be seen as the attempt to prevent the truth about the assassination of JFK from being revealed as Bobby had promised that if elected president, he’d get to the bottom of who really killed his older brother.

Before this year, I had never heard of Israel being mentioned as responsible or partly responsible for the assassination of JFK, and on mentioning it to a few people — including one friend who worked on Capitol Hill for more than 15 years, and then at the Pentagon and at NASA, and another who worked on policy at the Pentagon for many years — none were familiar with this theory.

I’ve since found out that Laurent Guyénot is not the first to write about the high likelihood of Israel involvement in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, and that the evidence was laid out in a 1993 book written by Michael Collins Piper. The title of that book was “Final Judgement: The Missing Link in the JFK Assassination Conspiracy.” It’s now in its 6th edition and can be purchased here on Amazon.

I haven’t read Piper’s book or spent a great deal of time evaluating the claims of Israeli involvement, but found the information in Guyénot’s article startling and deeply disturbing. I was also interested to read that Ron Unz himself, in a long article he wrote in 2018, also found the idea of Israeli involvement in JFK’s assassination to be persuasive and that he in fact thinks that Israel is likely the main culprit — that it was Israel that likely planned and carried out the assassination, with Angleton’s CIA staffers acting in a peripheral role and LBJ at least aware of what was going to take place.

We are told that Israel is our friend and ally and I know that many Americans fervently believe this to be true. Both the Republican and Democratic parties are dependent upon the support of pro-Israel Jewish donors and recent presidents of both parties (Biden, Trump, Obama) have all had top advisers who are Jewish. President Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, converted to Judaism before marrying Jared Kushner and their three children are being raised as observent Jews.

These factors, and his close relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, would certainly have given Trump reason to be hesitant to release documents that pointed to Israel as the main culprit in the JFK assassination, if this is in fact what they show.

More than 60 years have now passed since that terrible day in Dallas, when President John F. Kennedy was shot and killed as his motorcade came through Dallas. It’s past time that Americans had full access to the truth about the assassination and knew the names of all who were involved. President Trump’s announcement that these remaining documents would be released was a watershed moment — maybe the beginning of what is needed for the people to retake control over their government.

I would only wonder whether, in reading the documents, they may feel as one congressman did when he read the missing 28 pages from the 9/11 report — that everything he thought he knew had been wrong, and that he needed to re-arrange all of his thinking to adjust to the new set of facts.
