Files on the assassination of John F. Kennedy are declassified

• Thousands of files on the assassination of former US President John F. Kennedy have been declassified.
• Some photographs taken before his murder have also been released.
• Questions persist as to whether it was a conspiracy.

For the first time, thousands of files on the assassination of former United States President John F. Kennedy, including some of photographs taken before he was assassinated, have been declassified., according to LBC.

The assassination of one of the country’s most beloved presidents occurred in broad daylight and in front of thousands of people who were watching as his motorcade drove through Dallas, Texas. The images live on in posterity. One man was charged with the killing though theories that it was a larger conspiracy persist.

WAS JFK’S ASSASSINATION A CONSPIRACY?

Several photographs of the murder circulate on social media. Kennedy was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963. Since then, a series of rumors have circulated about whether the suspect acted alone or at someone’s command.

However, nothing has been proven. For years, thousands of files about the case have been kept classified by the United States government, until Joe Biden announced that in the spirit of transparency, he would declassify the documents.

WHAT DID BIDEN SAY?

Biden explained the following a few days ago: «Pursuant to my direction, agencies have undertaken a comprehensive effort to review the full set of almost 16,000 records that had previously been released in redacted form and determined that more than 70 percent of those records may now be released in full.»

And he added the following: «This significant disclosure reflects my administration’s commitment to transparency and will provide the American public with greater insight and understanding of the government’s investigation into this tragic event in American history.» Filed Under: John F.

OSWALD VISITED MEXICO

Within these files, it is reported that one of the key items is Oswald’s ‘Personality File’, which means Oswald was already on the US government’s radar. Oswald visited the Soviet embassy in Mexico City in September 1963, two months before Kennedy’s assassination, according to the files.

One of the newly published files indicates that a US intelligence was working with the Mexican government to wiretap Oswald’s phone. Some photographs of the high-profile case that have also been released. Filed Under: John F. Kennedy Assassination
