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.

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.
CIA Cover-up Alleged in JFK's 'Secret UFO Inquiry' (archive)
A story that combines UFO cover-ups with the assassination of John F. Kennedy is a gold mine for conspiracy theorists. And that's just what author William Lester says he uncovered while conducting research for a new book on Kennedy: a memo written by JFK and addressed to the CIA in which the president requests confidential information about UFOs.

In the never-before-seen, top secret memo supposedly written on Nov. 12, 1963, the president ordered the CIA director to organize the agency's intelligence files relating to UFOs, and to debrief him on all "unknowns" by the following February. Ten days later, Kennedy was assassinated.
Killed off by the CIA so he wouldn't share UFO crash retrieval and reverse engineering details with the public or Russkies. RIP.
 
I get that this is a meme, but so much of Buddhist schlock is basically just suicide bait -- strips away all meaning, purpose, and care for anything in life; it's an ideology of ultimate defeat & resignation.
I'll be honest I was just trying to find a verse I could heavily edit into saying "Nothing ever happens" over and over.

You're alright champ; it's just a personal quibble of mine. I made the mistake of getting wooed by mysterious eastern religion at one point of my life and feel incredibly retarded for falling for the bit; don't want other people to get the idea that it's somehow profound.

If I Ctrl-F and find "Marilyn..."
 
What exactly do people think will turn up now, sixty years later? If you are a conspiracy theorist, do you believe that the CIA has an official payment slip for their hired assasin(s) still laying around or what? You do not leave a paper trail behind when killing a president, especially when he's part of a political dynasty.
 
I don't expect them to give us the real story, but I do look forward to tearing their fake story apart.

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).
Not likely.
This theory stems from people misunderstanding bullet physics.

People who've never seen a person shot are confused because JFK's brain splatters all over the back of the limo in the direction of Oswald. They think intuitively that all the brain matter and skull fragment would travel in the same direction as the bullet. So the kill shot has to come from the front.

If you've ever seen a head or big fruit get shot you would know that it opens like a flower towards the direction the bullet came from. The force of the impact has to release somewhere, and the easiest place to escape is the part just opened by the bullet. This creates a mess at the point where the bullet hits, and leaves a clean little bullet sized hole where the bullet exits. Unless you're using hollow point that is, but Oswald was using completely normal Carcano rifle rounds.
