The notion that US authorities would \u201cfinally come clean\u201d on what happened that day in Dallas is not only flawed. It also creates the illusion that the controversy has finally been settled, thereby supposedly confirming the official version that Kennedy was assassinated by a lone malcontent, Lee Harvey Oswald.<\/p>\n<p>CNN\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2017\/10\/26\/politics\/jfk-assassination-files-classified-document-release-donald-trump\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cke-saved-href=\"http:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2017\/10\/26\/politics\/jfk-assassination-files-classified-document-release-donald-trump\/index.html\">reported<\/a>\u00a0the release of official documents this week thus: \u201cMore than 50 years after President John F Kennedy was killed, Americans on Thursday may finally get the US government\u2019s full accounting\u2026 to quell conspiracy theories that have long swirled around the assassination.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The New York Times\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2017\/10\/25\/us\/jfk-assassination-files-questions.html?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2017\/10\/25\/us\/jfk-assassination-files-questions.html?_r=0\">wrote<\/a>: \u201cThe final trove of sealed government records to be released\u201d will lay to rest the \u201cgrand-daddy of all conspiracy theories\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;click on the above link to read the rest of the article&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JFK Files: Cover-Up Continues of President\u2019s Assassination The murder of President John F Kennedy 54 years ago has been described as the \u201ccrime of the century\u201d.
