#1 Alright, let's cut to the chase shall we ?

Was Oswald, or had Oswald ever been, a US Intelligence Community source? Should be a simple YES or NO.

Beso,

Exactly. Every couple of years we get reports of 'smoking guns', which usually end up being something along the lines of 'Oswald liked to drink Moxie', or something like that.

I have always said, and still do, that if there's a smoking gun in there, it will be that it turns out that Oswald was making no secret of what he wanted to do, and a half dozen Alphabet Agencies had clues that, had they put them together, would have stopped him cold.

#3 ...Oh, and one other thing - especially after the last few years, anyone who thinks the US Government is going to release documents that prove it knew anything about the assassination of a President simply hasn't been paying attention.

#5 No assertions here, just an....An interesting story about a man named Ross Lester Crozier.

“I always thought he worked at Zenith Electronics”

Some things, they just never change.

#6 Just another old but interesting article from the Atlantic.

"I'll tell you something [about John Kennedy's murder] that will rock you," he said. "Kennedy was trying to get to Castro, but Castro got to him first."

#8 From American Conservative:

Judge Andrew Napolitano recounting a phone call with Trump in December 2020, when Napolitano asked Trump why he hadn’t released the JFK files. Trump’s answer, if true, was cryptic: “Judge, if you saw what I saw, you would know why I can’t release them.”

#9 Some of us older generation, remember JFK was openly discussing NOT doing a build up, and pulling out....

But there was a lot of $$$$ to be made by the Military Industrial Complex.

Plus, LBJ wife and/or family owned Braniff Airlines, that ferried a lot of troops in and out of Nam.

Plus, she/they were a primary stockholder in Bell Helicopter Textron.

I guess there are a lot of DC Swamp reasons the 1963+ findings still have never been completely released

#10 This release will just start more speculation.

#11 'Oswald liked to drink Moxie',

Well, that would be a surprise - that shit was awful. My mother used to drink that crap because she knew us kids wouldn't. I think I used it a few times to clean pennies when I started a coin collection kit.

#12 If you're going for a conspiracy theory, I kind of like the one that says that known communist Oswald had enough of a link to Soviet agents to make the assassination suspicious, but nothing actionable. Rather than risk escalation (nukes can ruin your day), they hid the dubious stuff--a conspiracy to cover up junk. Sort of like keeping grand jury testimony secret.
But without information, I'll stick with Oswald the loner.

Raj,

You're the FIRST person I've ever actually run across who knows about the stuff! I gather it was an....um...acquired taste - can you describe it?

#15 Consider that case of Oswald's repatriation to the US and the re-issuance of a passport without the traditional investigation at DoS. What agency short-circuited that whole event? Research the Gill book and you find interesting hints.

#17 Moxie is an acquired taste that I got used to in High School. The aftertaste I never got used to. It is a bad version of Dr Pepper. No reason to drink it other than as an affectation.

As for Kennedy files, this seems like the Charlie Brown football gig. About all anyone can hope for is that they divulge something unintentionally.

#18 The next prexidential assassination will be as unexpected and shocking as any of them. It was never going to be Trump.

#21 My wife's step-father drank Moxie. Named his dog Moxie also.

It's an "Interesting" taste for sure. I tried it a couple of times and the closest I can come to describing it is unsweetened, carbonated, bitter, Licorice soda. Not good at all. Right up there with horehound candy.

#24 If the gov't can obfuscate, hide, and deny truth for another 5-10 years, no one will remember. Few appear to care much about the sordid event now.

#26 You know, it's honestly clear to me that the CIA, FBI and other three letter agencies are not on the side of America. They should all be transferred to Alaska and the north sea at the old NORAD radar sites with no internet to ensure all their files (On paper) are correct. Never let anyone finish until they quit or retire. Complaints should automatically receive demotions.
