But, for some reason, this year is quiet.<\/p>\n<p>Except for the Trump rumours of course. He\u2019s absolutely <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/jfk-assassination-documents-release-trump-50ea62770b13f0ffc11ca18dde03500d\">going to publish the sealed JFK files this time<\/a>. Just wait. Any day now.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the mainstream media covered.<\/p>\n<p>In the \u201calternate media\u201d, JFK coverage is different and has been for a while now. All anyone wants to talk about is Israel pulling the trigger. That\u2019s what <a href=\"https:\/\/tribune.com.pk\/story\/2489323\/candace-owens-under-fire-for-controversial-remarks-about-israel-and-jfk\">Candace Owens says<\/a>. And<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mintpressnews.com\/from-dallas-to-gaza-jfk-assassination-good-for-israel\/286457\/\"> Mintpress News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently it was because JFK wanted to stop Israel getting nukes. Something that may be true, but does that merit a complex public assassination risking \u00a0total alienation of the most powerful country in the world? Couldn\u2019t they just lie about having nukes (as \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/2016\/04\/26\/how-the-israelis-hoodwinked-jfk-on-going-nuclear-dimona-atoms-for-peace\/\">apparently \u00a0they did<\/a>) until Kennedy\u2019s term was over? That\u2019s only five years later at most.<\/p>\n<p>So, is this \u00a0a valuable new insight? Or a deliberate effort to narrow and change the focus of the JFK narrative? A new solution to a \u201cmystery\u201d long-since solved.<\/p>\n<p>Because while we \u00a0may not know exact names of the trigger men or who gave precisely which order, \u00a0a considered reading of the available evidence offers only one sustainable conclusion:<\/p>\n<p>JFK was killed by the Deep State.<\/p>\n<p>The why may be less easy to be sure about, though\u00a0Kennedy had committed to <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/U7ZXD\">full withdrawal from Vietnam by 1965<\/a>. and within \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/National_Security_Action_Memorandum_273\"><em>four days<\/em><\/a> of the assassination, Kennedy\u2019s successor had reversed his policy of withdrawal and committed the US to a full-scale war in Vietnam. One that would see <strong>one TRILLION dollars<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebalancemoney.com\/vietnam-war-facts-definition-costs-and-timeline-4154921\">adjusted for inflation<\/a>), paid out to defense contractors and arms manufacturers.<\/p>\n<p>And all \u00a0the named major players from Allen Dulles down to Clay Shaw, Guy Bannister and Oswald (their chosen patsy) had ties to the US intelligence services.<\/p>\n<p>But I really don\u2019t want to re-litigate a 60 year old case here. There is more than enough <a href=\"https:\/\/off-guardian.org\/2023\/11\/22\/jfk-60-years-on-inside-offgs-archive\/\">JFK content covering the facts of the case<\/a>, I want to make a more topical point.<\/p>\n<p>JFK wasn\u2019t killed by any one individual, a government or even a nation. He was killed by a machine, a system. A convoluted and multilayered interaction of political, fiscal and ideological interests driven to start wars for (massive) profit.<\/p>\n<p>Were individual Israeli citizens or Mossad agents involved? Potentially. Discounting that is as needlessly reductive as \u201cIsrael did it!\u201d, but either way the greater truth is more complicated.<\/p>\n<p>If anything, JFK\u2019s murder is an early sign of the death of the nation as the unit of global government and the rise of the power of corporations. Bell Helicopter profited more from his death than the United States \u2013 or Israel \u2013 ever did.<\/p>\n<p>So why does everyone want to reductively blame Israel and only Israel suddenly?<\/p>\n<p>Well, that\u2019s an interesting question.<\/p>\n<p>It could be \u00a0this is setting up a major limited hangout. That the Trump Whitehouse will release \u201csecret files\u201d implicating Mossad and let the already pariah state Israel take a bullet for JFK\u2026so to speak.<\/p>\n<p>This would a) buy Trump \u201crebel\u201d points with the people he disillusioned in his first term, b) aid Israel\u2019s heel turn in the public eye and c) provide a massively distracting talking point.<\/p>\n<p>It also maintains the decaying illusion of discrete independent \u00a0nation states as the <em>players<\/em> in the game of geopolitics, rather than mere pieces on the board. An illusion \u00a0they seem eager to restore after shedding it so spectacularly during Covid.<\/p>\n<p>Saying \u201cit was Israel\u201d invites the refutation \u201cno, it was America\u201d. Easy to forget both these statements are essentially lies.<\/p>\n<p>The content of Trump\u2019s \u201cJFK files\u201d will tell us a lot about the direction this narrative is going to take.<\/p>\n<p>They could quench the smoldering anti-Israel fire entirely, or fuel it.<\/p>\n<p>Personally, I would expect just enough bait for people to bite. A few sprinkled references to \u201cknown links to Israeli intelligence\u201d or \u201csuspected Mossad agents\u201d here and there across hundreds of pages. Nothing too specific. Room left for denial and refutation if needed<\/p>\n<p>The timing will be interesting too. Expect the files to be dumped just before or after some announcement about CBDCs or digital identity platforms or something else they don\u2019t want us dwelling on too much.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever the files say \u2013 or don\u2019t say \u2013 we shouldn\u2019t trust a word of them.<\/p>\n<p>Government \u201creleases\u201d have never been trustworthy. Anyone with a brain can see how backdoor \u201cleaks\u201d can be used to sell the cover for the mainstream story. It is the height of naivety to believe the CIA could be \u201cforced\u201d by law to publish information it didn\u2019t want people to see.<\/p>\n<p>To quote <a href=\"https:\/\/off-guardian.org\/2022\/11\/22\/jfk-assassination-59-years-of-lies-still-havent-buried-the-truth\/\">myself from a couple of years ago<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Agencies like that won\u2019t ever release real evidence of their own guilt, even supposing it wasn\u2019t shredded, burned and buried next to Jimmy Hoffa decades ago.<\/p>\n<p>In the current age of media editing and AI tools our skepticism should be redoubled. Free internet AI voice synthesizers could create a four minute \u201clost tape\u201d of JFK railing against Israel and predicting they would try to kill him in an afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>We should take any future releases of \u201csecret JFK files\u201d with a massive pinch of salt.
