Clik here to view.
After over half a century, are we finally going to learn the truth about the JFK assassination?
It’s been 62 years since President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas back on November 22, 1963, and there are plenty of people who still question the official narrative that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone gunman who killed the president. Despite multiple commissions over the years all coming to the same conclusion (at least publicly), many still believe that the CIA or FBI were involved, and some even suspect that then-Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson had Kennedy killed after it was suspected that the president would drop him from the ticket during his re-election campaign.
There are honestly too many conspiracy theories to go into here, and it seems like more keep popping up all the time, but there are plenty of people out there (myself included) who don’t buy the official story. I mean, the Warren Commission concluded that Kennedy was struck by a bullet that exited the left side of his head, and then hit Texas Governor John Connally (who was seated directly in front of Kennedy) on his right. And then there are the dozens of witnesses who claimed to have either seen a shooter on the grassy knoll outside of Dealey Plaza, or heard gunfire coming from that area.
Like I said, there’s just too much to get into here, but I could talk about JFK conspiracy theories all day.
And for people like me who are fascinated by the assassination, tomorrow could end up being our Super Bowl.
President Donald Trump announced today that 80,000 documents related to the assassination would be released tomorrow, after the president signed an order on January 23 declassifying those documents and ordering that they be made public.
The release comes after the JFK Records Collection Act of 1992 had ordered the documents be released no later than October 2017 unless the president found that there would be harm to national defense or intelligence operations by releasing them.
Trump released some of the JFK docs during his first term, though a significant portion were still withheld. And Biden continued to postpone the release of the remaining documents, for two years (allegedly) due to COVID before an additional 13,000 were released in 2023.
There are (reportedly) only around 5,000 documents that are currently unreleased, so we’ll have to see what’s in the 80,000 documents being released tomorrow and whether these are all new or whether that number includes documents that have previously been released. But Trump promised that this release would be “all” of the JFK docs:
“We are, tomorrow, announcing and giving all of the Kennedy files. So peopel have been waitiing 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. We have a tremendous amount of paper. You’ve got a lot of reading. I don’t believe we’re going to redact anything…
It’s going to be very interesting… It’s many pages. Approximately 80,000 pages.”

The release of the records is supported by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the nephew of JFK and Trump’s Secretary of Health & Human Services who has expressed his own skepticism about the official narrative. But many online don’t seem as excited about the release of the records – and don’t seem to believe that the release will answer many of the questions that have given rise to the conspiracy theories over the years:

I just don’t believe this sadly. No way we’ll get the full truth just like the Epstein files https://t.co/V54KJggBX8

Would be great if they released without redactions, but I'll believe it when I see it. https://t.co/53ZzSvgnB6

I believe this about as much as I believe Oswald was the lone gunman. https://t.co/cz0FbmlMqe

The idea that the JFK files would contain some smoking gun is laughable. Anything truly damning was either never recorded or fed to the shredder decades ago. What’s left is just sanitized scraps they’re willing to show you—a giant nothingburger served cold. https://t.co/nIYPMzpScP

I think it will be, but I’m a pessimist when it comes to anything government.

Prepare to be disappointed.
There won’t be anything on there that isn’t already known.
And people will continue arguing about who killed JFK until the end of time. https://t.co/3JZy9lvQVM

I’ll admit, even as somebody who’s obsessed with this kind of stuff, I’m already prepared to be let down by what’s released tomorrow. I hope it’s unredacted, but even then I seriously doubt that there’s any kind of smoking gun that wasn’t destroyed long ago.
Maybe I just don’t trust our government, or maybe there was just never any conspiracy to begin with. But either way, I don’t think we’re going to know anything tomorrow that we don’t already know today.
I hope I’m wrong though…I think.
