White House further postpones disclosure of JFK assassination documents, citing Covid
The White House announced late Friday that it would further postpone the release of more documents related to the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy, pointing to the "significant impact" of the Covid-19 pandemic.
President Joe Biden issued a memo that said the national archivist recommended he "'direct two public releases of the information that has ultimately 'been determined to be appropriate for release to the public.'" The first will be an "interim release" later this year, with a second, "more comprehensive release in late 2022," the memo said.
The memo said that the Covid-19 pandemic has slowed down the process of reviewing whether redactions continue to meet the "statutory standard."
The Act permits the continued postponement of disclosure of information in records concerning President Kennedy's assassination only when postponement remains necessary to protect against an identifiable harm to the military defense, intelligence operations, law enforcement, or the conduct of foreign relations that is of such gravity that it outweighs the public interest in disclosure.
Since 2018, executive departments and agencies (agencies) have been reviewing under this statutory standard each redaction they have proposed that would result in the continued postponement of full public disclosure. This year, the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) has been reviewing whether it agrees that each redaction continues to meet the statutory standard.
The Archivist of the United States (Archivist), however, has reported that "unfortunately, the pandemic has had a significant impact on the agencies" and NARA and that NARA "require[s] additional time to engage with the agencies and to conduct research within the larger collection to maximize the amount of information released." The Archivist has also noted that "making these decisions is a matter that requires a professional, scholarly, and orderly process; not decisions or releases made in haste."
The Archivist therefore recommends that the President "temporarily certify the continued withholding of all of the information certified in 2018" and "direct two public releases of the information that has" ultimately "been determined to be appropriate for release to the public," with one interim release later this year and one more comprehensive release in late 2022.

I guess if you waited almost 60 years what is another few months/year(s). I doubt there is some massive truths about to be revealed. What are the JFK-theorists waiting for or expecting?

Hiding the fact that "they" are just like you. Not special, not different, the same shitting farting boring ignoramuses that can't program the remote control either.

You're right. I just love chatting via satellite phone with my friendly neighborhood robber barons, spooks, and warlords while we fly around in our private jets. Hey! Did you hear what my team of mercenaries did last month? LOL. How is your new offshore bank account working out? I'm considering opening one there too. BTW, that bribe ended up being less than I thought. Catch ya later!

I'm interested in any connections between major and minor actors. Maybe there's a tenuous connection between some moderately important guy and Russia. There's almost certainly some pretty strong connections from multiple players, and the CIA. And, that is exactly what I think is still being covered up. How deeply was the CIA involved in all of this?
I give some credence to the idea that Kennedy was actually assassinated by the Military Industrial Complex. Note the fact that his replacement all but raced into the Vietnam war. Then, there is the Federal Reserve angle. Central banks have an ugly history, including financing both sides of the same war, knowing they would collect from somebody after the war.
Also, I want to see more about that "impossible shot". If that shot couldn't have been made from the library, then WTF actually shot Kennedy? Surely the documents have some theories.
Again, I just want to see it all dumped, and made freely available to the news media and the public.

There's definitely connections between Oswald and the Russians, he moved there for a bit. But, the fact is that the Russians thought he was a loser and left being largely snubbed. It's highly unlikely that they would have trusted such an obvious suspect, especially one that was mentally deficient, such an important task.

Yes, they trusted Trump would be a bad president for USA, so good for them.
They trusted he would annoyed all USA's allies and divide western nations, and they were right.

A whole bunch of assholes wanted him dead. The MIC wanted Vietnam, the WASPS didn't want a catholic prez, the owners of the Fed didn't want it nationalized. Who actually pulled the trigger was probably a CIA agent working for both the MIC and the Fed. Oswald was a nutjob who was set up as the fall guy.

Who controls the MIC, US intelligence, monetary system, all media, etc? The fucking Jews, that's who. Hitler was right! Shabbos Goy slave states killing their racial brothers were wrong! LBJ was a crypto-jew, too. Who was behind the attack on the USS Liberty? the fucking Jews. It goes on and on. Learn about the Talmudic international Jew.
