US President Donald Trump on Thursday ordered the final secret files related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy to make public, this is a case that gives air to the principles of conspiracy even after more than 60 years of his death.
Trump signed an executive order that will also release a document on the killings of JFK’s younger brother Robert F. Kennedy and Civil Rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. in the 1960s.
While signing the order at the Oval office of the White House, Trump told reporters, “This is very big, huh? Many people have been waiting for it for years, decades.”
“Everything will be revealed.”
After signing the order, Trump gave the pen to one of his colleagues, saying, “Give it to RFK Junior,” the nephew of JFK and the current President’s nominated person to become the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.
The order that Trump signed on, requires the “complete and full release” of the JFK files, without any amendment he accepted when he released most of the documents in 2017.
“All records related to these murders are finally in the national interest without any delay,” the order said.
Trump had previously promised to release the last files, recently during his inauguration on Monday.
‘overwhelming evidence’
The US National Archives have released thousands of records related to the assassination of President Kennedy on 22 November 1963 in recent years, but have stopped thousands of national security concerns.
At the time of the latest mass release in December 2022, it was said that Kennedy’s 97 percent record – which are a total of five million pages – are now made public.
The Warren Commission, who investigated the 46 -year -old Karishmai President, determined that it was alone by a former maritime sharpshooter, Lee Harvey Oswald.
But that formal conclusion has not played any role in reducing speculation that there was a more frightening conspiracy behind Kennedy’s murder in Dallas, Texas, and a slow release of government files has promoted various conspiracy principles.
Trump’s move is partially one of the most prominent supporters of those conspiracies – Robert F. Kennedy Jr. – is a gesture.
RFK Junior said in 2023 that his uncle was “tremendous evidence of the CIA involvement in the murder of JFK and” very strong “evidence that the agency was also behind the murder of his own father, Robert F. Kennedy in 1968.
Former Attorney General was killed while campaigning for Democratic Nomination for the presidency. Sirhan Sirhan, a resident of Jordan, a Palestinian origin, was convicted of his murder.
Anti-vaccine activist RFK Junior was rewarded with health clearance in Trump’s cabinet to give up his independent presidential claim and support Republican, but faced a difficult enrollment process.
Conspiracy theory
Thousands of documents related to Kennedy’s murder were issued from the National Archives during Trump’s first term, but he also stopped some on national security basis.
While issuing the document in December 2022, the then President Joe Biden said that the “limited” numbers would be stopped at the request of the unspecified “agencies”.
The previous requests to stop the documents have come from the CIA and the FBI.
Kennedy’s scholars have said that the documents still placed in the archives are unlikely to stop any bomb blasts or a large -scale conspiracy principles about the 35th US President’s assassination.
Oswald, who once joined the Soviet Union, was shot dead by Jack Ruby, owner of a nightclub, two days after Kennedy’s murder, as he was being transferred from the city jail.
Hundreds of books and films like the 1991 Oliver Stone film “JFK” have promoted the conspiracy industry by raising finger on Russia or Cuba, Mafia and even Kuba, mafia and even Kennedy Vice President Linden Johnson.
Martin Luther King Junior was murdered in April 1968 in Memphis, Tennessee.
James Earl Ray was convicted of murder and died in jail in 1998, but the children of King expressed doubts in the past that Ray was the killer.
