Great C-SPAN interview here with journalist @jeffersonmorley, who has been trying to pry those #JFKFiles out of the government for many years now. 🗂🗄
Morley is also VP of the organization currently suing the #Biden administration & National Archives.
At 12 min, 40 seconds: “After the #JFKAssassination, Jackie Kennedy and #RFK sent a personal message to Soviet leaders that they did NOT think #Oswald was a #Communist.
Jackie Kennedy believed her husband was murdered by his domestic enemies. She held that belief all her life.”
“Bobby Kennedy also held this belief until the end of his life.”
(#RFK was assassinated while campaigning for president on June 5, 1968.)
At 21 min., 35 seconds:
“one month after the Assassination of #JFK, former president Truman (who created the CIA), wrote an editorial in the Washington Post calling for the abolishment of the CIA.”
The CIA has been caught lying about the #JFKAssassination so many times, starting with the Warren Report in 1964, that “they have no credibility in this case,” says Jeff Morley.
“That’s why they MUST release all these documents they’re still withholding after almost 60 years.”
At 26 minutes: “Fidel #Castro had nothing to do with President Kennedy’s murder. There is absolutely no evidence to support that claim in the #JFKFiles.”
Cuba is not withholding 14,000 pages of documents regarding the #JFKAssassination — the United States government is.”
At 30 minutes:
“Congress passed a law in 1992 compelling the release of all #JFKAssassination documents. Most agencies of the government complied. But the CIA continues to ignore and disobey this law. President #Trump went along with it, #Biden went along with it too.”
Jeff Morley was involved in litigation with the CIA for 16 years in a FOIA case regarding Oswald’s potential role in the agency’s AMSPELL propaganda operations — attempting to falsely blame #Cuba for the #JFKAssassination.
“The courts backed the CIA in that case,” Morley said.

Because the CIA encouraged it with well funded “black propaganda” programs such as CARTEL and AERODYNAMIC, targeting #Nazi insurgents in the #USSR to keep fighting #Russia.
The 🇺🇸 CIA and 🇬🇧 MI6 ran the programs jointly.

FLASHBACK: Barbara Walters, who died today at 93, filed this woman-on-the-street report in the hours following the #JFKAssassination. 📺
Barbara documented the eerie quiet in bustling #NewYorkCity on the night of Nov. 22, 1963.
And yes, that IS Barbara’s longtime ABC News 20/20 co-host Hugh Downs with her in this vintage 1963 clip.
Downs hosted the Today Show for NBC at the time. Barbara got her start as a writer at @TODAYshow before graduating to on-camera assignments like this one…
Barbara Walters visited the Russian Embassy in Manhattan on the evening of Nov. 22, 1963 and reported the Embassy was flying the flag at half staff in President Kennedy’s honor. An attendant at the door was clearly stunned with grief.
At the height of #ColdWar tensions with #Russia, the Soviets might have been pleased—or understandably frightened—to know that #JFK distrusted America’s military and intelligence establishment almost as much as they did. theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…
Kennedy had barely settled into the Oval Office when Admiral Arleigh Burke planned to publicly assail “the Soviet Union from hell to breakfast” in a speech.
#JFK ordered the admiral to back off & required all military officers to clear any public speeches with the White House!
President Kennedy’s biggest worry about the military was not the personalities involved but rather the freedom of field commanders to launch nuclear weapons without explicit permission from the commander in chief.
So he issued orders that no nuclear launch without POTUS approval
Things I shout at the TV while watching the 7-part Trauma Zone documentary about the fall of the #USSR by Adam Curtis:
“Dude! How did you even manage to get in and film that?”
“Dude! Holy shit that’s live ammo being fired at you! How are you alive?”😳
@RealCalebMaupin if you haven’t seen this yet, it’s a great binge-watch over the holidays.
Curtis is the king of random surprise edits. One minute you’re watching stunning nature photography of Siberian tigers; the next it’s Boris Yeltsin drunkenly making a speech, then jump-cut to a couple making a porn film in their apartment… lol… you never know what’s next!
