People React After Long-Awaited Release Of The JFK Files
on Mar 18, 2025
It Has Been Over 60 Years Since The Assassination Of JFK
On Tuesday, March 18, a historic moment happened for America as the classified documents related to JFK’s assassination were finally released.
It’s been over 60 years since the tragic killing of former President John F. Kennedy. He served as the 35th president of the United States from 1961 to 1963 before he was assassinated on November 22, 1963.
JFK was in Dallas, Texas, when he was shot from a distance while riding in an open motorcade with his wife, Jacqueline.
The man accused of killing JFK was Lee Harvey Oswald, a worker at the Texas School Depository. Two days later, Oswald was shot and killed by nightclub owner Jack Ruby as he was being transported to a different county jail. His murder was broadcast live on television, with a crowd of press capturing the shocking moment on camera.
Since JFK’s tragic death, many have wondered what happened and who was truly involved. While Oswald was declared the lone assassin, many Americans had their doubts. Some believe there was a larger conspiracy, possibly involving multiple people. Others even question whether Oswald played a role at all.
President Trump Orders For The Release Of All Files Connected To JFK’s Assassination
Now, the public finally has access to some of the answers they’ve been searching for the past six decades.
More than 80,000 files related to JFK’s assassination have officially been made public. This release follows an executive order issued by President Donald Trump, which called for the declassification of the documents.
The JFK files are available on the National Archives website for anyone to read.

So if they newly released jfk files contain nothing new and only backup the warren commission’s lee harvey oswald “lone gunman” theory, then why have they remained classified and unavailable to the public. I’m not buying any of it.

RELATED: WHY WERE THE JFK ASSASSINATION FILES KEPT CLASSIFIED FOR SO LONG?
Pretty amazed at how almost everyone posting "WOW!" bombshells from the JFK files have zero knowledge of what information has already existed on the subject. Nothing I've seen is from these files is new or revelatory. Yet.

These are initial results based on LLMs reviewing the files
Hopefully it’s not a total nothing burger
