Shielded Kennedy Files Hid Spies, Not Conspiracies

For years, as the government has declassified and published documents related — some very tenuously — to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the assumption expressed by conspiracy theorists and some historians was that anything still being withheld could be big.

That assumption led some of President Trump’s allies, including Kennedy’s nephew, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is now the nation’s top health official, to push him to release the final tranche of files from the Kennedy archives, believing they might reveal damning evidence: namely, that Kennedy was not assassinated by a lone gunman in Dallas.

But with the release of nearly 64,000 pages by the National Archives over the past 24 hours, including some that previously included redactions, it is becoming clear that something else might have been behind the secrecy: protecting the sources and occasionally unsavory practices of U.S. intelligence operations.

… In another striking example, Arthur Schlesinger Jr., a top White House aide, reported to Kennedy on the day of his inauguration in 1961 that “47 percent of the political officers serving in United States embassies were” intelligence officers working under diplomatic cover — spies, in other words. …”

I got it from the CIA, the agent told her, according to a newly released Central Intelligence Agency document. In doing so, he blew off the one request the agency had made—to keep its name out of it—and helped set off decades of secrets, contortions and coverups that are still being unraveled today.

A cache of 82,864 pages that the Trump administration released this week related to the Kennedy assassination lay bare the extent to which the CIA tried to hide what it knew from the very day Kennedy was shot, and how its clumsy efforts fed dangerous suspicions about the agency and the nature of the American government. …”

What bs. The CIA started jacking the public around when they were still the OSS. Between Bill Donovan, the Dulles brothers and their coterie of Ivy League assholes, they played games all over the world.
