Newly released documents appear to contradict the government’s claims that it had no knowledge of Oswald prior to the assasination of President John F. Kennedy.
The CIA holds documents that show presidential assassin Lee Harvey Oswald was involved in an intelligence operation before the assassination of John F. Kennedy, “We’re talking about smoking-gun proof of a CIA operation involving Lee Harvey Oswald,” reporter Jefferson Morley.
Morley claimed the CIA operation involving Oswald took place in the summer of 1963, three months before the assassination. The allegation from Morley, who has written extensively about the CIA in the 1960s, could shake up the history of the Kennedy assassination if it proves to be true.
Morley (a veteran of the D.C. press corps and a preeminent expert on JFK’s assassination with the Mary Ferrell Foundation) told reporters that he and attorneys with the foundation obtained documentation relating to a still-classified covert operation approved by senior CIA officials three months before Kennedy’s death that suggested the agency used Oswald for intelligence purposes several weeks prior to shooting.
Morley claimed that Oswald, a former Marine who defected to the Soviet Union before returning to the United States as a supporter of Cuban communist leader Fidel Castro, was involved in a pre-assassination CIA operation meant to discredit American supporters of Castro. Morley’s allegations focused on files created by now-deceased CIA agent George Joannides, who was involved with anti-Castro exile groups. Morley said 44 documents in Joannides’s file are still being held by the CIA and could shed new light on the purported operation.
“No one outside of the CIA was any wiser,” Morley said of the effort, which he said involved work to promote Oswald as an unhinged pro-Castro figure.
President Biden has ordered the release of all documents related to Kennedy’s death. That trove should be released early next year.
Not to totally change the subject here and take this off-topic, but what about the trove of documents related to Joe’s boy Hunter?
Why is Joe going to release documents from a time most people in America today aren’t even aware ever happened, while withholding important document directly relevant to today?

“Latest Hunter Biden Problem Puts White House in Tight Spot”
Story by Nick Reynolds
15 December 2022
President Joe Biden’s administration is set to release hundreds of emails dating back to his time as vice president regarding his son, Hunter Biden, and millions of dollars the younger Biden earned from a Ukrainian energy firm while his father was vice president.
The trove of documents—which were requested under the Freedom of Information Act earlier this year by a lawyer for a right-wing nonprofit with ties to former Donald Trump adviser Stephen Miller — includes nearly 300 emails and dozens of photographs dating back to 2014, when Biden’s son joined the board of the Ukrainian energy firm Burisma despite having no experience in the sector.
Hunter Biden’s ties to the country — as well as the contents of a laptop acquired by journalists at the New York Post in late 2020 — have inspired widespread speculation in the conservative press that the younger Biden exploited his political connections to enrich himself.
The documents attesting to his role there could be a critical part not only of Biden’s story, but also of Trump’s, who was impeached by a Democratically-led U.S. House of Representatives for threatening to withhold aid from Ukraine unless its president, Volodymyr Zelensky, agreed to dig up compromising information on the Bidens.
That is, if the president decides to release them.
While the National Archives has already declined to release a number of documents containing sensitive information, Biden himself has 60 days to decide whether to employ his right of executive privilege to prevent the release of the entirety of the documents.
Experts tell Newsweek Biden’s decision could be a defining action for a power that dates back to the days of George Washington.
Though presidents have long deployed presidential privilege to protect themselves and their family members — as President Bill Clinton did for first lady Hillary Clinton during the Whitewater scandal in the mid-1990s — Biden’s decision could be seen by political opponents as comparable to efforts by President Richard Nixon to protect himself during the Watergate scandal, even though the records in question are the focus of a partisan political group’s efforts to discredit his administration.
“The problem [for Biden] is going to be that the justification for denying these records is going to be very weak,” said Gary Schmitt, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and a onetime minority staff director of the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
“So the Biden White House is going to have difficulties not only from a public relations standpoint on why they’re keeping something secret, even if there was nothing wrong going on or untoward going on.”
Politics aside, Biden could exert his authority to deny the release of the records.
But then he faces the prospect of a court battle against the nonprofit, America First Legal, that has already defeated his administration in numerous cases this year.
Biden — if he were willing to go to court — would need to make the case that executive privilege to protect his son would overrule the public interest.
As of now, it is not clear what that argument would be.
“In this environment, there would have to be a justification, and that justification would have to be compelling,” Glenn Altschuler, a professor of history at Cornell University, told Newsweek.
“And I don’t know what that justification would be.”
If Biden did have a compelling argument, Altschuler said, he would need to consider the potential precedent that would be set by using the power of the Oval Office to shield his family members from political embarrassment.
Executive privilege, he noted, is an evolving concept, with its definition constantly in flux and being defined.
“Biden needs to think about the political fallout of a decision to invoke executive privilege,” Altschuler said.
“He needs to consider the precedent and what that might mean for a pending conflict with President Trump over his invocation of executive privilege.”
“He needs to consider, as well, whether or not the information that he is fielding is going to come out anyway,” he added.
And so it goes still covering our government involvement in the association of our president was a sad day
I don’t know about anyone else, but I was sitting in a study hall when word came over the intercom that JFK had been shot in Dallas.
At that, a friend of mine and I looked at each other with mutual looks that said, “WOW, they did it,” because for the preceding weeks we had been talking in one of my classes about Kennedy going to Texas, where he was “hated,” and the odds that he would be killed if he went there.
The reason he went there as I understood it was to show the world there was NO PLACE in America and American president couldn’t go, and he chose the open car to show the world he wasn’t afraid of the Texans.
I think all of that history has been changed, and we talked about that, as well, after Kennedy was dead, how history was going to be whitewashed to protect the people of Texas and to preserve the union.
So it went from the people of Texas killed Kennedy to Oswald acted alone.
And speaking of the Irish, what on earth could have been up with Joe Biden the other day at a town hall on veterans’ benefits in New Castle, Del., when goofy old Joe seemed to say that if people other than him are Irish, then they are stupid?
Let’s get more on that story from the New York Post article titled “Biden slings ‘anti-Irish’ words, claims to be Italian in gaffe-ridden speech” by Mary Kay Linge on 17 December 2022, where we have as follows, to wit:
A befuddled President Biden casually maligned the Irish while botching his wife’s family history during a gaffe-filled appearance in Delaware on Friday.
end quotes
Isn’t he something, people, our Joe Biden!
A lot of people think so, anyway, hundreds of millions of them, in fact, all who love him because he is Joe Biden, which takes us back to the story, to wit:
“I may be Irish, but I’m not stupid,” Biden inexplicably said as he greeted 102-year-old World War II veteran Ray Firmani during a town hall on veterans’ benefits in New Castle, Del.
“I married Dominic Giacoppa’s daughter,” Biden continued.
“So, you know, I got a little Italian in me now, you know?”
end quotes
Isn’t that so Joe, people?
And this next line is a great one as it so captures the mood which followed that inane outburst, to wit:
The audience of military veterans and federal officials received the off-script comments in puzzled silence — but critics on Twitter took comic umbrage at the ethnic slur.
end quotes
Love that bit about “puzzled silence.”
As to those TWEETS on TWITTER, this expressed things quite well, I thought: “Giacoppa was actually Jill Biden’s grandfather, not her father,” wrote Steve Guest, a communications adviser for Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas.
“Joe Biden gets the dumbest things wrong.”
end quotes
And doesn’t he ever, but that is the Joe Biden hundreds upon hundreds of millions of people in every country all over the world love as their world leader, and so, we all have to accept him as he is, which takes us to this, to wit:
The bizarre comments — which rehashed a line Biden trotted out on St. Patrick’s Day earlier this year — came moments before the 80-year-old president spun a chronologically impossible yarn that conjured an apparently mythical Purple Heart for his uncle Frank Biden, who fought in World War II.
As for that Biden-istic flight of fantasy, let’s go to the Fox News article “Biden skewered for ‘ridiculous tall tale’ about giving uncle a ‘Purple Heart’: ‘Biggest serial liar elected'” on 18 December 2022, where we have this insight into that portion of the story of the decline and fall of the wits of Joseph Robinette Biden, Junior, to wit:
Conservatives on Twitter blasted President Joe Biden for telling another “ridiculous tall tale” about himself in a speech, claiming that his uncle won a Purple Heart for his actions during World War II.
Biden made the remarks during a town hall for U.S. veterans in Delaware on Friday.
At one point during his speech, the president stated, “My dad, when I got elected vice president [in 2008], he said, ‘Joey, Uncle Frank fought in the Battle of the Bulge.’”
“He was not feeling very well now — not because of the Battle of the Bulge, but he said, ‘and he won the Purple Heart and he never received it.'”
“‘He never got it.'”
“‘Do you think you could help him get it?'”
“‘We will surprise him.’”
He continued, claiming, “So I got him the Purple Heart.”
“He had won it in the Battle of the Bulge.”
“And I remember he came over the house and I came out and [my father] said, ‘Present it to him, okay?’”
“We had the family there.”
Biden concluded the story, claiming he gave the medal to his uncle despite his Frank’s humble protests.
Though the New York Post shot holes through the story in a Friday report, stating, “The known facts indicate it’s not true.”
“Biden’s father, Joseph R. Biden Sr., died in September 2002 — more than six years before his son was elected vice president.”
“Frank Biden, Joe Sr.’s brother, died in 1999.”
end quotes
But seriously should any of that really matter?
If it disagrees with what Joe said, it has to be wrong, doesn’t it?
So as far as Joe is concerned, both his father and uncle were actually still alive when Joe was vice president and anybody who thinks otherwise is simply confused.
Preface to Dereliction of Duty – Lyndon Johnson, Robert McNamara, The Joint Chiefs of Staff, AND THE LIES THAT LED TO VIET NAM by H.R. McMaster, copyright 1997:
Despite scores of books on the subject, the WHY and HOW of direct U.S. intervention in the Vietnam War remains unclear.
The war continues to capture the public interest in part because, looking back, its cost seems exorbitant – and would seem so even if the United States had “won”.
The war took the lives of fifty-eight thousand Americans and well over one million Vietnamese.
It left Vietnam in ruins and consumed billions of American dollars, nearly wrecking the American economy.
Vietnam divided American society and inflicted upon the United States one of the greatest political traumas since the Civil War.
Indeed, the war’s legacies proved to be as profound as the war was traumatic.

Ukraine is the Viet Nam quagmire of Joe Biden and Charley “CHUCK” Schumer that is going to continue to bleed our economy like Viet Nam did back then, as Joe and Charley “CHUCK” look for the elusive “LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL” for the FACIST DICTATOR Zelensky who Joe and Charley “CHUCK” are supporting with OUR tax dollars without our informed consent:

“Schumer urges show of support for Ukraine with spending bill”
Story by Kevin Freking, Associated Press
21 December 2022
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate inched closer to passing a $1.7 trillion government funding bill Wednesday with supporters pointing to a visit by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the evening as another reason to advance the measure in a show of support for the beleaguered nation.
The measure includes $44.9 billion in emergency assistance to Ukraine and NATO allies, above even President Joe Biden’s emergency request, and ensures that funding flows to the war effort for months to come.
The measure would also boost U.S. defense spending by about 10% to $858 billion, addressing concerns from some lawmakers that more investment in the nation’s military is needed to ensure America’s security.
Schumer said the worst thing Congress could do now is give Russian President Vladimir Putin any signal that the U.S. was wavering in its commitment to defend Ukraine.
“By passing this omnibus and confirming a new ambassador, we can send President Zelenskyy back to Ukraine with the message that the Senate, the Congress and the American people stand unequivocally behind the people of Ukraine,” Schumer said.
“And we’re backing that up with real dollars and real resources.”
While further increasing OUR national debt that we, the people pay the interest on, while without our informed consent, by giving the corrupt fascist Zelensky regime more American tax dollars to not only maintain the corrupt and dictatorial Zelensky regime, but further American dollars for the thuggish twerp Zelensky to pour into CRYPTO exchange FTX, although there’s “no evidence” (nudge, nudge, wink, wink, a nod’s as good as a wink to a blind man) FTX laundered U.S. aid money back to the Democrat Party and Joe Biden, which we know for certain and beyond any kinds or shades of shadows of doubt because we were told so by Zelensky’s propaganda organ the Kyiv Post in an article titled “FACT-CHECK: No, Zelensky Didn’t Invest Billions into Collapsed FTX” By Jay Beecher on Nov. 21, 2022, as follows:
“A viral conspiracy theory claims that the recently collapsed cryptocurrency exchange company FTX was being used by Ukraine to launder money for the benefit of the ruling Democratic Party in America.”
“However, the claims are false.”
end quotes
See what I am saying?
Nothing to see here, folks, as we are told in that Kyiv Post article, to wit:
As Russian propagandists and influencers latched onto the conspiracy theory, Ukrainian Deputy Minister of Digital Transformation Alex Bornyakov was forced to issue a statement on Twitter, saying on Monday, Nov. 14, that Ukraine’s government “never invested any funds into FTX.”
“A fundraising crypto foundation, Aid for Ukraine, used FTX to convert crypto donations into fiat (government-controlled money such as the U.S. dollar, Great British Pound, or Ukraine’s Hryvnia) in March,” wrote Bornyakov.
“Ukraine’s govt never invested any funds into FTX.”
“The whole narrative that Ukraine allegedly invested in FTX, who donated money to Democrats, is nonsense, frankly, ” he added.
end quotes
And it would have to be, wouldn’t it?
And of course it would have to be, because Democrats are as pure as the driven snow, and Joe Biden is even more pure than that, which does take us to the concept of our “informed consent” for Joe Biden to use our tax dollars ro support a fascist thug in a dictatorship in Ukraine, to wit:
BRIEFING ROOM
Remarks by President Biden Before the 76th Session of the United Nations General Assembly
SEPTEMBER 21, 2021
United Nations Headquarters
New York, New York
THE PRESIDENT: Make no mistake: The United States will continue to defend ourselves, our Allies, and our interests against attack, including terrorist threats, as we prepare to use force if any is necessary, but — to defend our vital U.S. national interests, including against ongoing and imminent threats.
But the mission must be clear and achievable, undertaken with the informed consent of the American people and, whenever possible, in partnership with our Allies.
end quotes
And maybe it is my memory gone bad or something, but I’m not recalling be asked for my informed consent for Joe’s war against Putin in Ukraine, or Joe’s economic war against China, and Joe’s threat of war against Saudi Arabia.
And the mission in Ukraine must be clear and achievable?
HAH!
What a joke on the American people that is!
Joe’s “mission” in Ukraine is even less clear and less achievable than was DEMOCRAT LBJ’s mission in the raggedy-ass, fourth rate little country of VEET NHAM, where LBJ and Bobby McNamara never did see the “light at the end of the tunnel,” regardless of the BILLIONS of American tax dollars squandered on that fiasco.
And Joe Biden and Charley “CHUCK” Schumer are again repeating the experiment, expecting some different result while Joe and Charley “CHUCK” oversee the destruction of Ukraine, so Joe can BUILD IT BACK BETTER with more American tax dollars going to American reconstruction contractors with ties to the Democrat party, once the Russians are don with converting it to rubble.
Yes, indeed, when it comes to being a real fool on the world stage, Joe Biden is well qualified by all his prior experience of being a waste of taxpayer dollars during all that time Joe was hiding in the senate as a waste of space from the reality we have to face out here in the real world, a world Joe Biden will never know because he has never lived in the real world and doesn’t even know where it is.
And this holiday video filmed by Joe Biden was so lofty in its rhetoric with such a powerful holiday message that it literally left me with tears in my eyes:

“U.S. stocks drop on recession fears, Nasdaq closes at new bear market low”
By Echo Wang
December 28, 2022
Dec 28 (Reuters) – Wall Street’s main indexes ended weaker on Wednesday, with the Nasdaq hitting a 2022 closing low, as investors grappled with mixed economic data, rising COVID cases in China, and geopolitical tensions heading into 2023.
The Nasdaq Composite ended at 10,213.288, the lowest since the bear market began in November 2021 after the index hit a record high.
The last time the Nasdaq ended lower was in July 2020.
The S&P 500 index has posted only 18 Decembers with losses since 1950, Truist Advisory Services data show.
All 11 of the S&P 500 sector indexes fell on Wednesday.
The benchmark S&P 500 is down 20% year-to-date, on track for its biggest annual loss since the financial crisis of 2008.
The rout has been more severe for the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite, which closed at the lowest level since July 2020.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 365.85 points, or 1.1%, to 32,875.71; the S&P 500 lost 46.03 points, or 1.20%, at 3,783.22; and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 139.94 points, or 1.35%, to 10,213.29.
And as to the impact PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRAT POLICIES are having on the progressive Democrat states where such practices are in vogue, the following gives us a good “bird’s-eye” view of the situation as the progressive Democrat states become more and more like benighted, crime-ridden, third-world ****holes:

“California Saw Six-Figure Population Drop As Gov. Newsom Ran ‘Join Us’ Ads”
Story by Alexa Schwerha
28 December 2022
California residents are still leaving the blue state in droves despite Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom’s summer ad campaign urging Florida residents to “join” the blue state.
California’s population decreased by six-figures as 343,230 people fled the state in 2022, according to data from the United States Census Bureau.
The population decline follows a 30-second advertisement from July in which Newsom urged Floridians to move to the blue state where he claimed they “still believe in freedom.”
“Freedom, it’s under attack in your state.”
Florida led the nation in population growth for the first time since 1957 with a 1.9% increase in the past year, according to the report.
California businesses have also been fleeing the state which could lead to economic decline.
Overall, red states appeared to experience an increase in population while blue states showed a decline.
“The biggest gains from net domestic migration last year were in Florida (318,855), Texas (230,961) and North Carolina (99,796), while the biggest losses were in California (-343,230), New York (-299,557) and Illinois (-141,656),” the report reads.
Since 2020, California’s population has declined by 508,903 residents, according to the report.
New York’s population decreased by 524,079, while Illinois’ dropped by 230,513.
Yes, indeed, people, as we prepare to exit 2022, our president Joe Biden, who is also leader of the world, to show his love for us, has presented us with a real economical miracle not seen in America in many years now, to carry us forward into the new year, to wit:

“Wall St ends 2022 with biggest annual drop since 2008”
By Echo Wang
December 30, 2022
Wall Street’s three main indexes booked their first yearly drop since 2018 as an era of loose monetary policy ended with the Federal Reserve’s fastest pace of rate hikes since the 1980s.
The benchmark S&P 500 has shed 19.4% this year, marking a roughly $8 trillion decline in market cap.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq is down 33.1%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average has fallen 8.9%.
The annual percentage declines for all three indexes were the biggest since the 2008 financial crisis, largely driven by a rout in growth shares as concerns over Fed’s rapid interest rate hikes boost U.S. Treasury yields.
“The housing market has really slowed down and the values of people’s homes have declined off of the highs earlier this year,” said J. Bryant Evans, investment advisor and portfolio manager at Cozad Asset Management in Champaign, Illinois.
“That affects people’s mind frame and actually affects their spending a little bit.”
Thanks, Joe, for making an absolute mess of our national economy!
