Key Revelations from the Declassified JFK Assassination Files

The release of over 30,000 pages of previously classified documents sheds new light on the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Key findings include:

• Oswald's Activities: Details of Lee Harvey Oswald's trip to Finland, his attempts to defect to Cuba, and his interactions with Soviet officials, including a KGB officer specializing in assassinations and sabotage, are revealed.
• CIA and FBI Actions: The CIA and FBI's withholding of information from the Warren Commission regarding Oswald's contacts with Soviet and Cuban officials is highlighted. This includes a deliberate effort to avoid escalating tensions with the Soviet Union by suppressing information about plots to assassinate Fidel Castro.
• CIA Involvement: Documents reveal that the CIA orchestrated interviews between journalists and a former Soviet intelligence agent about Oswald, reimbursing the agent for his time.
• Mexican Government's Stance: A 1960 document indicates that the Mexican President, Adolfo López Mateos, publicly supported the US plan to overthrow Fidel Castro.
• Surveillance: The CIA's installation of hidden microphones in a Maryland safe house where Cuban exiles were meeting with US officials is documented.

Ongoing Investigations and Implications

Experts believe the newly released documents will facilitate further investigation into whether the CIA and FBI ignored warning signs about the assassination plot. The documents raise questions about potential knowledge of Oswald's intentions by Cuban or Soviet officials.

The revelation of the CIA's "benign cover-up" underscores the complexity of the assassination and the ongoing debate surrounding the official narrative.
