JFK: The CIA's Secret $300B Lie 🤯

For six decades, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy has been synonymous with government secrecy. Following the massive, recent unredaction of National Archives files, this program delivers a crucial historical reset, revealing what was hidden in plain sight and how institutional dishonesty fueled decades of skepticism.
The JFK Records Act of 1992 forced the release of documents that confirmed the existence of covert operations, profoundly reinforcing the CIA’s role as the central suspect in the conspiracy narrative.
Scale of Clandestine Ops: Unredacted files show that the number of CIA personnel attached to key U.S. embassies approached 40% to 50% of the total staff in some critical Cold War hot spots, confirming that intelligence often dominated diplomacy.
Confirmation of Lethal Intent: Documents explicitly confirm the CIA's "established willingness" to engage in assassination, revealing the cryptonym MSL for the operation aimed at the violent removal of Dominican President Rafael Trujillo just two years before Dallas.
Disinformation Campaign: A declassified CIA cable reveals that instead of cooperating with early investigations, the agency explicitly instructed agents to employ propaganda assets to refute critics, actively shaping public opinion by linking legitimate skepticism to "communist propagandists."
The greatest indictment of the initial investigation was the CIA's deliberate withholding of information that would have compelled the Warren Commission to investigate the retaliation hypothesis seriously.
The AmLash Plot: The CIA failed to disclose the AmLash operation, which involved a high-ranking Cuban official plotting Castro's assassination. This plot was active at the very moment JFK was killed, providing Castro with the ultimate motive for retaliation.
The Mafia Nexus: The CIA also hid its use of high-ranking organized crime figures (like Sam Giancana, Santos Trafficante) to eliminate Castro. This omission concealed the introduction of the American Organized Crime Syndicate into the highest levels of U.S. covert policy.
The high level of suspicion surrounding the crime itself centers on the connections the initial investigation ignored:
Ruby’s Mob Ties: The HSCA computer analysis of Jack Ruby’s phone records revealed significant contact with figures tied to the National Organized Crime Syndicate (including associates of Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa and Mafia bosses Sam Giancana/Santos Trafficante)—the very people Robert Kennedy was relentlessly cracking down on.
The Havana Link: Tourist card documentation confirms Jack Ruby’s first trip to Cuba in August 1959 coincided exactly with Santos Trafficante’s detention there, establishing a potential foundational link between the killer of the primary suspect and a key figure in the CIA's anti-Castro plots.
The New Orleans Bridge: The HSCA found credible evidence of an association between Lee Harvey Oswald (the self-proclaimed Marxist) and David Ferry (the fervent right-wing anti-Castro partisan who worked for mob lawyer G. Ray Gill), directly complicating the simplistic lone communist narrative.
Even without the unredacted files, the scientific evidence fundamentally challenges the official story:
The Single Bullet Theory (SBT): The SBT—which claims one bullet caused seven injuries to JFK and Governor Connolly—remains the point of greatest skepticism.
Final Question: The CIA's institutional decision to withhold critical, motive-driven information severely handicapped the original investigation. Given the scientific finding of a probable second shooter and the proven motive of powerful enemies, what other foundational truths of the 20th century might still be hiding in documents that were once fully redacted?
