Biden BLOCKS Release Of JFK Assassination Files
- Thread starter The Anonymous
- Start date
Biden has further postponed the release of secret government files related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, citing delays caused by the coronavirus pandemic. The files had originally been scheduled to be released by next week.
President Donald Trump in 2017 announced he planned to publicly disclose the remaining JFK files. In 2018, Trump did end up authorizing the disclosure of 19,045 documents.
Jefferson Morley, the editor of JFKFacts.org who in 2003 sued the CIA for records related to the Kennedy assassination, said he was outraged by Biden’s decision to further postpone the release, calling it the “covid dog ate my homework" excuse.

Earlier this month, some members of Congress wrote to Biden urging him to fully release all of the JFK files, including 520 documents that remain withheld from the public and 15,834 documents that were previously released but are partially or mostly redacted. The letter was signed by DEMOCRAT Reps. Anna G. Eshoo (Calif.), Steve Cohen (Tenn.), Jim McGovern (Mass.), Jamie Raskin (Md.), Sara Jacobs (Calif.), Joe Neguse (Colo.) and Raul Grijalva (Ariz.).
“Democracy requires that decisions made by the government be open to public scrutiny,” the lawmakers wrote. “Yet excessive secrecy surrounding President Kennedy’s assassination continues to inspire doubt in the minds of the American public and has a profound impact on the people’s trust in their government.”

Biden on Friday said the need to protect records “has only grown weaker with the passage of time” and that he agreed it was critical the U.S. government “maximizes transparency.”
“Almost 30 years since the Act, the profound national tragedy of President Kennedy’s assassination continues to resonate in American history and in the memories of so many Americans who were alive on that terrible day,” Biden wrote. “It is therefore critical to ensure that the United States Government maximizes transparency, disclosing all information in records concerning the assassination, except when the strongest possible reasons counsel otherwise.”
“Let’s not make hasty decisions? After 29 years of stonewalling, they don’t want to make a hasty decision," Morley said dryly in an interview. “They are saying very clearly they do not intend to obey the law … it’s a ruse.”
Morley, who is also a former Washington Post staff writer, said Congress needs to step in.

The JFK Records Act, passed unanimously by Congress in 1992, called for “expeditious public transmission” of all JFK files into the public record.
Twenty-nine years later, the intent of Congress has been effectively nullified by the demands of federal agencies, particularly the CIA, which is responsible for 70 percent of the withheld records.
The National Archives website says 15,834 JFK files that have been released remain redacted, though some redactions involve only a single word.
Kennedy was shot dead as his motorcade passed through downtown Dallas on November 22, 1963. Oswald, a 24-year-old leftist, was arrested 90 minutes later. He denied shooting Kennedy, claiming he was a “patsy.” The next day Oswald was shot dead on national TV by Jack Ruby, a nightclub owner with organized crime connections. The causes of Kennedy’s death have been debated ever since.
Federal Judge John Tunheim, chair of the civilian review board which declassified more than 300,000 JFK documents in the 1990s, called on Biden to release the JFK files without exception. “Why keep on holding back stuff?” Tunheim told The Intercept. “I don’t think there is any reason to protect any of it.”

Dr. Fauci paid the University of Georgia to kill him.
Is that so?

You silly sucker what does President Kennedy have to do what is going on now who has been dead for over 60 years when President Biden was basically a teenager? Consider what is really important in 2021
Biden declines Trump request to withhold White House records from Jan. 6 committee
The White House is authorizing the National Archives to turn over an initial set of documents related to Trump’s activities on Jan. 6.
WASHINGTON — The White House on Friday formally blocked an attempt by former President Donald Trump to withhold documents from Congress related to the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, setting up a legal showdown between the current and former presidents over executive privilege.
In a letter to the National Archives obtained by NBC News, White House Counsel Dana Remus rejected an attempt by Trump’s attorneys to withhold documents requested by the House Select Committee regarding the then-president’s activities on Jan. 6, writing that “President Biden has determined that an assertion of executive privilege is not in the best interests of the United States, and therefore is not justified as to any of the documents.”

no, if that were true, and the government was still "in on it," then they would release a document that completely absolved any government connection....duh. why make people wonder if you have the power to just bury the truth completely?

No, they wouldn't. They'd stoke doubt. You don't believe in magic bullets do you?
