President Trump signed a flurry of executive orders on everything from cracking down on illegals who enter the country to withdrawing the nation from the World Health Organization.

The polarization has flipped to an intense assault against Trump and a brushing off of the failings of former President Joe Biden. In truth, they are both the same in different ways and in the end very little will change for most Americans.

But Trump did one thing that truly impressed me by ordering the release of all the documents related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, and also all documents related to the assassination of his brother Robert F. Kennedy and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King.

I am most interested in discovering the truth in the JFK assassination on Nov 22, 1963. I was only 9 years old at the time but even at that young age, it was clear that the focus on Oswald as the lone gunman was a farce. 

Oswald was murdered by a dying mob associate and nightclub owner who had favor among the Dallas police, Jack Ruby.

Many people have demonized those like me who cling to conspiracy theories that Oswald was a moronic patsy used by a powerful cabal that could have included any of an assortment of potential suspects.

That list is long. They include Vice President Lyndon Baines Johnson who the Kennedys mocked and held in disdain. It was no secret that the politics of Dallas where JFK was murdered was very anti-Kennedy.

Another is the corrupt head of the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover, who hated the Kennedys and maintained secret files on their extramarital sexual escapades and on others including King, who Hoover hated, too. Hoover had his own sick secrets and was about as crooked as a three dollar bill.

Organized crime’s not-so-secret heads of the families also hated the Kennedys. The mob stole the election for Kennedy over Republican Richard M. Nixon by stealing votes in Dallas and in Chicago. 

Kennedy won the 1960 election by only 112,827 votes, or .017 percent. The mob believed Kennedy owed them but was angered when he appointed his brother, Robert, as his attorney general and RFK immediately declared organized crime as the enemy of America.

The military industrial complex powers who were pushing America into a wider war in Vietnam against the Communists were angry that JFK was leading the nation away from the conflict. 

As soon as LBJ was sworn in as his replacement, the new president began plans with the Joint Chiefs of Staff for a massive invasion after concocting a fake attack on a U.S. warship in the Gulf of Tonkin less than a year after he took office. 

Immediately after, LBJ began an escalation that eventually raised troop levels to 550,000 soldiers, resulting in nearly 60,000 Americans killed when we fled under Nixon in 1975.

And, of course, there were foreign enemies of the Kennedys including Fidel Castro, who routed an American-sponsored invasion of the Bay of Pigs, Cuba under a plan conceived by his predecessor Dwight D. Eisenhower during the election battle between Nixon and Kennedy. The invasion had been far advanced by the time Kennedy was sworn in on Jan. 20, 1961, and it began on April 17, 1961 and quickly failed.

Organized crime leaders had invested heavily in Cuba prior to the rise of Castro and blamed the poor relations that evolved on Kennedy.

Despite efforts in 1961 to reach out to the Soviets and its Communist leader Nikita Khruschev, by 1962 relations had deteriorated so badly America and the Soviets found themselves on the brink of nuclear war. Khruschev blinked in the standoff, embarrassingly and it resulted in his downfall by 1964.

If there were no conspiracy, why has the government refused to release tens of thousands of core documents surrounding JFK’s assassination?

What are they hiding and who are they protecting? If they are not hiding anything, why haven’t they been released. Probably 80 percent of the people living in 1963 are today, 61 years later, dead. I was 9. Now I am 71.

For my generation, that single moment captured on the Zapruder film that was also hidden from Americans for years has been the most impactful event in our history.

It needs to come to an end.
