The recently declassified JFK assassination files have reignited decades-old controversies, challenging the official narrative that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the 1963 killing of President John F. Kennedy. These documents have unveiled potential CIA involvement, mafia connections, and the possibility of multiple shooters, contradicting the Warren Commission’s conclusions. Will the complete truth about the Kennedy assassination ever be fully revealed?
Challenging the Official Narrative
The Warren Commission’s conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone has been widely rejected by researchers and portions of the American public for decades. The Zapruder film, which captured the assassination in graphic detail, suggests a shot from the front—contradicting the official story of shots only coming from behind Kennedy’s motorcade.
In 1979, the House Select Committee on Assassinations reached a startling conclusion, determining that President Kennedy “was probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy.” Despite this official acknowledgment, the committee failed to definitively identify who orchestrated the conspiracy, leaving the door open for continued speculation and investigation.

Intelligence Agency Connections
A particularly damning document from 1967 implicates a “small clique within the CIA” in Kennedy’s assassination, connecting this group to gun-running and narcotics operations. This information aligns with longstanding suspicions about elements within intelligence agencies who were displeased with Kennedy’s handling of foreign policy matters, particularly his approach to Cuba and the Soviet Union.
The CIA’s dissatisfaction with Kennedy stemmed from multiple sources, including his refusal to provide air support during the Bay of Pigs invasion and his diplomatic resolution of the Cuban Missile Crisis. These actions were viewed by hardliners within the intelligence community as too soft on communism, potentially motivating removing Kennedy from office.

Multiple Parties, Multiple Motives
Roger Stone, a political consultant with extensive historical research on the assassination, has claimed that Kennedy’s death involved a complex conspiracy including the CIA, wealthy Texas oil interests, organized crime, and Lyndon Johnson. Stone describes Johnson as the “linchpin” of the conspiracy, suggesting he had personal motives related to various scandals that threatened his political career.
The declassified files contain information suggesting multiple assassins were involved in the plot, with Cuban leader Fidel Castro believing the killing involved Cubans, Mafia members, and mercenaries. A 1991 document also reveals that according to a KGB official’s review, Oswald was not a Soviet agent, contradicting theories about communist involvement.
Congressman Tim Burchett has expressed skepticism that Americans will ever know the full truth about Kennedy’s assassination. He points to potential leadership issues within the CIA and FBI that continue to obscure what happened in Dallas on November 22, 1963.
