WASHINGTON, March 17 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday his administration will make public around 80,000 pages of files related to former president John F. Kennedy on Tuesday.
Earlier this year, Trump signed an executive order directing the federal government to present a plan to release records related to the assassinations of Kennedy, his brother Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr.

I think it's more complicated than that. My money for a long time has been on the actual killshot coming from the Secret Service in the motorcade with JFK...and it being an actual accident, with the shot fired in response to a shot ringing out from the book depository.

Under this theory, Jack Ruby is required to kill Oswald and that's the coverup, and it starts because any competent defense at trial would find out via the discovery process that the trajectories give (at minimum) reasonable doubt that Oswald's bullet did the job. The trial would have been a mess, people would have still said the Secret Service did it on purpose, and so on.

I'm only putting this in writing because I'd like the credit if I'm right. If it really is just the "official story" for 80k pages, oh well, it was a longshot (pun intended).

Anyone with a synapse can work out that if the state chose to assassinate the head of state, they are not going to have written down a nice If I Did It report and file that away for future ref, for fuck's sake. Even if you believe the FBI had the Kennedys killed, there is no possibility any paper trail connected to such a decision or action ever existed. There is literally nothing to see here. I do not understand what 'releasing these files' is expected to accomplish.

I suppose if that Mortal Error theory turned out to be true, they might be willing to admit that it was an accident, and use it as a faux olive branch to Americans, as if to say “See, we’re willing to be more open and honest with you guys! …NOW will you join the armed forces???”

JFK from the alternate timeline where JFK didn't die which ended up leading to WW3 came back in time and killed JFK. It's the only thing that makes sense.

 

[Megaton Punch]

Donald Trump himself killed John F Kennedy. He's not going to snitch on himself. That's retarded.

Trump - if you can believe it - was still a minor when JFK was assassinated. We'll never know the truth due to laws that protect underage criminals.

Ruby killed Oswald for the notoriety thinking he would be lauded as a national hero and was legitimately shocked that it didn't pan out that way.

People really need to remember this.

Ruby was basically a JFK super-fanboy with anger issues. He loved JFK so much he kept a picture of him in his jail cell. He was also friendly with the cops because he wanted to be on good terms with them since the businesses he ran (ie; nightclubs and strip joints) often needed their assistance, and shit.

It's more than possible that the cops knew how devastated he was by JFK's death, and let him in to see Oswald get taken away not knowing just how big of a mistake that would be.

I want to be proven wrong, but as others have said, it'll probably be 99% redacted. The new parts will probably be various comments like: Agent Smith went to the supposed location of the shooter and noticed a lamp was knocked over.

 

[tehpope]

guys, Lee Harvey Oswald wanted to steal the Jack Ruby. that's why he killed jfk.

Or JFK went back in time to kill himself because the crew of Red Dwarf accidently pushed Oswald out the window of the book depository. Its a long story.

Or maybe it was GHWB on command of the CIA. And Mosad and the mob helped along the way.

I think not knowing what exactly happened is better than knowing the specifics.

The cops knew him by face and probably assumed he was there to bail out one of his girls (who frequently got arrested for the kind of things women who work grey area nightclubs get arrested for, drugs, solicitation, etc) - the last thing they would have considered (and obviously did) was that he'd suddenly try to become a self-made American hero by taking out JFK's assassin.


Nothing surprising will be released because there is nothing surprising to release.

Like the Epstein stuff. It won't matter almost everyone concerned in the JFK files is either dead or senile.

Remember watching this on TV as a kid. Remember watching Oswald's face as he was shot. Sure was something to see.

Is this gonna be like the epstein files that were on Pam bondis desk? Please for the love of God, I can't handle these nothingburgers anymore.

When you stop posting due to old age, we're gonna have a helicopter shitposting memorial. Assuming we aren't too distracted by the violent revolution caused by the JFK-RFK-MLK-Epstein-cough-UAP-cough Files.

 

[I've Seen Some More Shit]

I'm going to be frank I don't think a single page out of all 80,000 is going to be the paperwork related to El Beej and H.W. Bush in his early character development ordering JFK be turned into America's first PEZ™ meat dispenser. That'd be like hiding your porn in the folder labeled "Porn." If there even is any paperwork left of that that wasn't burnt or redacted to the point it looks like a Reese's wrapper, it's likely going to be categorized and documented in somewhere completely unrelated like a proposal for a new courier service commissioned by Jumbo himself that was coincidentally cancelled after one delivery (of a few bullets into Mr. Kenndy's dome) because you don't hide shit where you know people are going to search thoroughly.

To quote Verse 348 of the Dhammachudda:

 

[Dog-O-Tron 5000v5.0]

Eagerly awaiting the reveal it was MIC Glowies who were afraid JFK was going to slow down the Cold War by making nice with the Soviets, and that it leads to the fact that they conspired to set up Nixon with Watergate to destroy his Presidency over the same reasons.

Mark Felton recently dropped this about how British Glowies took out Harold Wilson for the same reasons a couple years later.

 

[Mullet Man]

Even if it’s a nothingburger, everyone knows the government had him assassinated at this point.
