The Long Shadow of the Kennedys
Briefly

The recent release of JFK files by the National Archives, ordered by Trump, seemingly serves to placate conspiracy theorists rather than disclose any significant revelations. Many documents, including a debunked letter claiming Biden is a traitor, generated online buzz but lacked consequential insights, reiterating established narratives surrounding the assassination led by Lee Harvey Oswald. Further complicating matters, personal information of individuals mentioned in the documents was mistakenly divulged, harboring potential legal ramifications, while the broader reality remains unchanged since the Warren Commission's findings in 1964.
The recent release of Kennedy files by the National Archives, primarily aimed at appeasing conspiracy theorists, offers nothing of real significance or new insights.
Memories surrounding John F. Kennedy's assassination continue to inspire unfounded speculation, with the same key players and agencies involved in the ever-spiraling myths.
Trump's release of old records seems more about satisfying his base's thirst for conspiracy than revealing substantial new evidence about the Kennedy assassination.
Despite the excitement on social media, most of the newly released files lacked any groundbreaking revelations, reaffirming the long-accepted narrative established by the Warren Commission.
