The Persistence of Conspiracy Theories
For over 60 years, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy has remained one of the most scrutinized events in American history. Despite the Warren Commission’s official conclusion in 1964 that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, skepticism never faded.
Numerous conspiracy theories have endured, implicating the CIA, organized crime, Cuba, and even figures within the U.S. government. Many Americans believe that critical details about the assassination were deliberately concealed, fueling endless speculation. The latest release of 80,000 pages of newly declassified government documents, mandated by an executive order from President Donald Trump, promised greater transparency.
However, not everyone is convinced that this latest document dump brings any real clarity. Jack Schlossberg, grandson of JFK, has been vocal in his criticism of the release, questioning its true significance. His remarks reflect a broader sentiment among those who feel the U.S. government is still withholding critical information.
With so many documents still redacted or classified, the question remains: Does this release finally provide the answers people have sought for decades, or does it merely fuel further speculation?

THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION DID NOT GIVE ANYONE IN PRESIDENT KENNEDY’S FAMILY “A HEADS UP”ABOUT THE RELEASE
a total surprise, and not shocker !!
But @RobertKennedyJr definitely knew.
New Insights from the JFK Files
The newly released files contain a wealth of information about Cold War espionage, Oswald’s movements, and U.S. intelligence activities in the 1960s. While no “smoking gun” has emerged, key details have been uncovered.
Oswald’s Soviet and Cuban Connections
The documents confirm Oswald’s interactions with the Soviet Union and Cuba before the assassination. He visited the Soviet and Cuban embassies in Mexico City, allegedly seeking a visa to defect. The CIA had monitored these meetings, and the files suggest there were concerns about Oswald’s intentions.
The Role of U.S. Intelligence Agencies
One significant revelation is how closely intelligence agencies were tracking Oswald. Some documents indicate the CIA had an active file on him well before November 22, 1963. This raises questions about whether more could have been done to prevent the assassination.
Australian Intelligence Involvement
A surprising revelation involves Australia’s intelligence agency, ASIO. The files show that Australian authorities had requested certain documents remain classified, as they contained details of anonymous phone calls to the Canberra Embassy, speculating about Soviet financing of Kennedy’s assassination.
Potential Cover-Ups
Several reports suggest that U.S. agencies, including the FBI and CIA, withheld information from investigators at the time. The files reveal that some officials believed releasing certain details could damage national security or diplomatic relations. However, they do not conclusively prove an organized cover-up regarding Kennedy’s murder.
What’s Still Missing?
Despite this massive document dump, some records remain classified. Researchers and JFK historians have pointed out that critical files, especially those detailing CIA operations in the early 1960s, are still either redacted or withheld. Many believe that these missing documents could provide deeper insight into possible covert operations involving Cuba, the Mafia, or other potential actors linked to the assassination.
For some, the fact that classified files still exist only reinforces suspicions that the U.S. government is hiding something. Even if these remaining documents are eventually released, it is unlikely they will satisfy all conspiracy theorists. The assassination remains a subject of fascination precisely because of the lingering uncertainties.
Hubbers’ Takeaway
The release of these JFK files represents an important step toward transparency, but it does not deliver a definitive answer to the questions that have plagued historians and conspiracy theorists for decades.
The documents provide new insights into Cold War intelligence operations, Oswald’s movements, and the extent of government surveillance at the time. However, they stop short of offering undeniable proof that contradicts the Warren Commission’s original findings.
For now, the JFK assassination remains a mystery wrapped in bureaucracy, and the debate over what truly happened on that fateful day in Dallas is far from over.
