JFK Facts -- JFK 2022: Bare Majority Believes in Conspiracy jfkfacts.substack.com/p/jfk-2022-wha…
This is not a Twitter poll. It is a statistically valid sample of midterm voters nationwide and a lesson in American history. To wit: JFK's assassination has always been a surrogate for trust in the federal government. Post-Warren Commission, liberals/leftists lost trust and ...
...suspected conspiracy. The right did not and embraced the official story. Post-Bush II, the Trumpian right lost trust in government--and faith in the "lone gunman." Now Republicans are more likely to see a JFK conspiracy, while Dems are somewhat less likely.
Still half of all Dems reject the official theory. The fact is: Americans, left, right and center do not believe the government or major media on the JFK story. Some attribute this to mass irrationality. But with CIA still withholding massively, the idea they're hiding something
...significant and incriminating is more plausible than ever, no matter what your politics. And that belief has a basis in documentary fact.

If the government wants to regain public trust, it has to come clean on JFK in 2023. #JFKFacts

THE ART OF SPIN: A CIA spox told selected DC reporters last month, "The assertion that CIA has been holding, and has not disclosed, a set of documents about Lee Harvey Oswald that were part of now-deceased, former CIA officer George Joannides’ files in the JFK Collection ....
is false." REPORTERS BEWARE: This statement is cleverly worded so as to be technically accurate and entirely misleading. Let me explain. CIA denies that it is withholding records "that were part of .. Joannides files in the JFK Collection." That is true because....
the 44 documents about Joannides' undercover operations in 1963 and 1978 that I discovered are NOT YET part of the JFK Collection. They are not in the JFK Collection because....

Tomorrow is a big day for me. I’ve been thinking about and researching CIA operations related to JFK’s assassination since November 1994 when I interviewed James Angleton’s longtime aide Jane Roman about the pre-assassination Oswald file.
washingtonpost.com/archive/opinio…
1/7
Roman's comments raised a lot of questions. Twenty eight years later, I will answer some of them. Tomorrow I will share my latest findings on JFK and CIA at the National Press Club at 9:30 am. If you can't come in person, watch here.

People ask me, Is there a ‘smoking gun?’ I want to say “Was there a smoking gun in ‘Spotlight’?’ Was there a smoking gun in “She Said?” No. Investigative reporting is not about ‘smoking guns.' Instead I say "No, there is no smoking gun proof of a JFK conspiracy," but ...

The @nytimes review of a new book on the Star Spangled Banner is admiring while @washingntonpost is more skeptical about F.S. Key than the author. What the reviews don’t quite capture is impact of the Banner on the politics of slavery. #4THJULY thread.
washingtonpost.com/outlook/2022/0…
1/In 1833 President Andrew Jackson appointed Key to be District Attorney for the City of Washington. Jackson wanted to deploy Key’s fame and liberal reputation in service of enforcing the slavery system. An ambitious man, Key obliged. #4THJULY
2/In 1834, Key prosecuted Benjamin Lundy, a courageous itinerant editor, who brought his antislavery publication to Washington DC. Lundy was actually acquitted of “seditious libel” but had to leave town under the threat of violence from the slavers. #4THJULY

The startling story that Gina Haspel, a future CIA director, oversaw the waterboarding of one of the men, Abd al-Nashiri, who bombed the USS Cole, didn't get the treatment it deserved until @SpyTalker picked it up and layered on the details. Thread
spytalk.co/p/the-unmaskin…
1) Nashiri was taken away from "ace FBI counterterrorism agent Ali Soufan." Instead of putting Nashiri on trial in federal court in New York "where many a terrorist suspect had been successfully prosecuted, the operatives threw him into the maw of the CIA’s black sites"
3) Nashiri was turned over to crackpot psychologist James Mitchell whom Haspel depicted heroically. (He “strode, catlike, into the well-lit confines of the cell at 0902 hrs…deftly removed the subject's black hood..) You can read Haspel's memo @NSArchive

Last Friday night, Pres. Biden released a ridiculous statement saying he will delay enforcement of the JFK Records Act until Dec. 15. The CIA has annulled a law passed unanimously by Congress. It is a proverbial 'smoking gun:' evidence of complicity. @AmandiOnAir A #JFK thread:
We are not in the realm of theory but of fact. The CIA is concealing material evidence in the murder of the 35th president. I want to talk about the political context of this sinister development and identify the redacted ('smoking') files which obscure our view of Nov. 22, 1963.
First a story: In March 1964, the Warren Commission learned that CIA had some 3 dozen documents about supposed assassin Lee Oswald which they had failed to share with the investigators for 10 weeks. DDP Dick Helms asked Jim Angleton for the docs...

I am not conversant in the details of RFK's assassination to the degree necessary to comment on what happened in the pantry on June 4, 1968. But I do know a lot of the reporters involved. Rather than offer my opinion, I will add two facts. A #SirhanSirhan thread
I know David Talbot as a good friend, a prodigious reporter on the subject. I trust him implicitly. Lisa Pease is also a friend, sharp in her commentary, but it was good research, not harsh words, is what got her findings about Dag Hammerskold’s death before the UN. #SirhanSirhan
Dan Moldea, my go-to guy on organized crime stories, is immersed in RFK story. He also hosts a bibulous annual banquet for impecunious Washington writers. As for Shane O'Sullivan, I have met him a couple of times and corresponded with him occasionally. #SirhanSirhan
