SMOKING GUN IN THE JFK FILES?
What Has the Government Been Hiding for Nearly 60 Years?

With President Biden’s December 15 deadline for full JFK disclosure approaching, the non-profit Mary Ferrell Foundation (MFF), sponsor of the internet’s largest collection of searchable JFK documents, will present evidence of a potential major break in the JFK assassination story.

Biden set next week’s deadline in an October 2021 memo calling on all federal agencies to release their remaining documents related to the November 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy, which will be made public by the National Archives in College Park, Maryland.

"We have been peeling layers off the onion that is the murder of a U.S. president at the height of the Cold War, year by year," says MFF president Rex Bradford. "Our work remains unfinished." In October 2022, the MFF sued President Biden and the National Archives for failure to implement the JFK Records Act of 1992.

"Astonishingly, the CIA continues to conceal its 'sources and methods' around the alleged assassin Lee Harvey Oswald," says MFF vice president Jefferson Morley. "But we now know where the rest of the Oswald story is hidden: in JFK files the CIA has redacted or denied in full."

"These records relate to a still-classified covert operation, approved by senior Agency officials in June 1963, that used Oswald for intelligence purposes," Morley went on. "Is the undisclosed operational interest in the accused assassin evidence of CIA incompetence? Or CIA complicity? We can’t be sure. Only full disclosure on December 15th will resolve the issue."

Former CIA officer Rolf Mowatt-Larssen will comment on the new and hidden evidence in JFK’s assassination.

Lawrence Schnapf will discuss recent outreach to the president and Congress to release the remaining redacted records in the JFK Collection, tell what has been learned about the Trump postponements, and review the basis for the MFF lawsuit.

Hon. Judge John Tunheim, former chair of the Assassination Records Review Board, will talk about the review board’s work and the status of the JFK Records Act.

Fernand Amandi, pollster, will present the results of a nationwide poll, detailing what the American public thinks about the causes of JFK's assassination and what President Biden should do about the remaining secret JFK files.
