80,000 secret JFK assassination files just dropped.

For 60 years, the CIA fought to keep them hidden.

Now we finally know why.

These documents reveal what really happened in Dallas - and it wasn't a "lone gunman.

🧵

Five months before Kennedy was shot, something unbelievable happened:

A man walked into the American embassy in Bulgaria with a warning:

"Lee Harvey Oswald is planning to kill President Kennedy in Dallas."

The warning was ignored.

This isn't a conspiracy theory. It's in the files.

The man even predicted:

- Martin Luther King Jr. would be assassinated
- James Earl Ray would be blamed
- Oswald would be killed afterward

All came true.

The documents expose two shocking facts:

Multiple warnings about Oswald were ignored

CIA operations involving Cuban exiles spiraled out of control

What began as propaganda became assassination.

Meet James Angleton.

CIA counterintelligence chief.

Kennedy's secret enemy.

The man whose 100-page testimony was hidden from the public.

Until now.

The seeds were planted in 1961.

After the Bay of Pigs failure, Kennedy withdrew crucial air support.

The CIA was furious.

Cuban exiles felt betrayed.

Kennedy told aides he wanted to "scatter the CIA into a thousand pieces."

By summer 1963, the CIA was watching Oswald closely.

He was promoting pro-Castro groups in New Orleans.

He visited the Soviet embassy in Mexico City.

He met with a KGB assassinations expert.

The CIA photographed everything.

Gary Underhill, a former CIA employee, fled Washington the day after JFK’s assassination.

He told friends, "a small clique within the CIA" was responsible.

Six months later, he was found dead, shot behind the left ear.

Ruled a suicide.

He was right-handed.

The documents reveal extensive CIA operations to overthrow Castro:

- Explosive sabotage plans for Havana power plants
- Arms shipments to anti-Castro groups
- Surveillance operations using hidden microphones

All happening in the months before Kennedy died.

Kennedy's policy on Cuba had shifted dramatically.

After nearly triggering nuclear war during the missile crisis, he wanted peace with Cuba.

The CIA and Cuban exiles wanted the opposite.

Kennedy became the obstacle to their plans.

These files show why the government fought for 60 years to keep them hidden:

They didn't just fail to prevent the assassination.

Key elements within intelligence agencies created the conditions that made it possible.

Castro's reaction to Kennedy's death? "Very upset."

Cuban leadership reportedly felt Kennedy wouldn't invade Cuba.

They saw his assassination as potentially dangerous for Cuba.

Castro ordered his government not to criticize Johnson.

Strange reaction from an alleged enemy.

The most damning evidence in these files?

CIA documents on Oswald were manipulated before the assassination.

Key officials later lied under oath to Congress.

Crucial evidence was destroyed.

Not the actions of innocent bystanders.

We still don't have everything.

20,000 pages remain to be digitized.

2,400 FBI documents are coming.

But after 60 years of secrecy, the truth is finally emerging from the shadows.

For anyone seeking reliable information on these documents, experts recommend the Mary Ferrell Foundation.

They provide crucial context that separates fact from speculation in this complex case.
