On Tuesday, March 18, 2025, the United States Government finally did what it ought to have done decades ago: release the remaining files on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. For all its faults, the Trump administration has done a significant public service in tearing down the wall of secrecy that has existed for far too long. The time has come for the public to receive the truth about the murder of their president.
What is the truth about the Kennedy assassination?
In very general terms, this is what I know about the assassination from many years of research and interviews for a book: a rogue, right-wing element of the Central Intelligence Agency who hated the Kennedys (for numerous personal and political reasons) cooperated with two Mafia godfathers—Carlos Marcello, the godfather of New Orleans and Santos Trafficante Jr, the godfather of Tampa—to target and assassinate JFK. However, these were not ordinary mobsters; they were the same ones that the CIA contracted in 1960 to assassinate Fidel Castro in Cuba, which failed and later resulted in the Bay of Pigs fiasco.
The first assassination attempt was actually in Chicago on November 2, 1963. The motorcade was canceled at the last minute because the Secret Service became aware of the threat. The next attempt was in Tampa on November 18. Trafficante called off the plot at the last minute because it leaked to the Tampa police. The final and successful attempt was in Dallas on November 22. This was Marcello's territory.
Lee Harvey Oswald, the alleged assassin of Kennedy, was recruited by Marcello in the summer of 1963 when Oswald was living in New Orleans. My findings are that, yes, he did shoot Kennedy. No, there were no shooters on the grassy knoll or other parts of Dealey Plaza.
Jack Ruby, the Dallas nightclub owner who assassinated Oswald in the basement of Dallas police headquarters two days after JFK was killed, is directly linked to both Marcello and Trafficante.
The FBI has Marcello confessing to all of this—on tape—with an undercover informant. Hopefully, the FBI will release this material as now required by the presidential Executive Order.
This is an incredible tale, but the real story is who in the CIA aided and abetted Marcello and Trafficante? That is the big secret at the very heart of this case, and that is what the CIA, FBI, and White House have been trying so hard to cover up all these years. I'm now 95% sure I know the answer.
I hope releasing these long-secret files today helps solidify everything mentioned so far. The details will have to wait for the publication of my book.
When everything finally comes out, every American will realize that this is the most astonishing story they have never been told.
Wow intresting, I want to know more.
Great write up!
