The Trump administration released more than 1100 review PDF files Regarding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on the National Archives website today, and revealed new details that complicate the only traditional gunman.

What is the only armed theory?

The “only armed” theory assumes that Lee Harvey Ozwald spent on his own in the assassination of President Kennedy, without the participation of other conspirators or external agencies.

However, the new files, while detecting international communications, intelligence failure, and internal discussions, challenges this simplified view by noting that the assassination was a tangled matter.

Before the assassination

Lee Harvey Oswald, the accused killer of President Kennedy, was just a mysterious personality. US intelligence closely follows its international activities. In the city of Mexico, for example, the Central Intelligence Agency watched a man at the Soviet embassy, ​​which she claimed to be Oswald. However, the evidence did not add. One file reveals:

“Pictures of a man visiting the Soviet embassy, ​​who claims to be Ozwald, did not match his known appearance, and the calls in” broken Russian “objected to the ambiguity only.
(JFK File 198-10005-10018)

This blatant contradiction indicates that what the Americans believe in the place of Oswald may be defective.

Meanwhile, Oswald’s behavior in the Soviet Union was out of typical. Unlike most cases – only the transit foreigners or students participated – an event rare when Oswald, the only alleged gunman, left the Soviet Union with his Soviet wife, Marina. Note a meeting between the CIA official and the Warren Committee employee:

“Most comparison included foreign students or transient people – not two goals like Ozwald. Only 4 of 26 cases were Soviet wives left with foreign pairs.”
(JFK file 1704-104.70213)

In addition to ambiguity, in the days leading up to November 22, Oswald has alluded to “a big thing”. One report on the FBI alarmingly provides:

“Ozwald glimpsed” something big “that happens weeks before the killing of JFK.
(JFK 180-10143-10227 file)

A source described it as “nervous” and “enthusiastic”, and he even tried to contact Pavel Yatskov, a Soviet intelligence official, and he paves the way for a narration that will later be filled with doubts.

Another development comes from the Memorandum of the CIA, which indicates that Jack Ruby, the nightclub operator known to kill Ozwald on direct TV, may have met Ozwald weeks before the assassination:

“The US Central Intelligence Agency’s memo says to the investigators that Jack Ruby and Levy Ozwald met at a nightclub before the killing of JFK,” the US CIA memo told investigators.
(JFK File 194-10012-10030)

The records of the FBI show that the agents who carefully seen Ozwald’s reactions with Soviet foes and experts who fled the communist systems, in Texas:

“The records of the FBI showed that the agents have closely seen the reactions of Lee Harvey Ozwald with the Soviet fugitives in Texas …”
(JFK File 198-10007-10013)

This pre -attendant details are that Oswald was linked to the broader international networks instead of being an isolated individual.

During the assassination and then directly

On November 22, 1963, when President Kennedy was shot, the nation fell into chaos. Ozwald was quickly identified as the shooter, which enhances the narration of a “single armed”. However, the story took another dramatic turn shortly after Jack Ruby, the man with deep mobs, shot Ozwald on direct TV.

FBI’s records later revealed deep concerns about the Ruby background. One file is frankly.

“Ruby’s links with mobs made people believe that the assassination of JFK was part of a greater conspiracy.”
(JFK File 198-10007-10021)

Moreover, the laboratory account added another layer of mystery:

“Ruby said he had to kill Ozwald.”
(JFK File 197-10002-10190)

These notes indicate that Ruby’s actions may not be spontaneous as he thought once, raising questions about the pressures and effects behind his work.

After the assassination

In the aftermath of the assassination, US intelligence agencies scrambled to collect what happened, yet the important gaps continued. She left the inability to confirm the identity of Ozwald in the city of Mexico, which is evident from non -identical images and “broken Russian” calls, remaining doubts about the reliability of the collected data. This gap is still a painful reminder of the potential purchase of the investigation.

Indoor discussions also appeared. It included provocative allegations: “July 19, 1967”, with regard to John Garrett And Support Junior, former intelligence agent, and Somile George Kamings, a deep military relations advisor, on provocative allegations:

“The next day of the assassination, Gary Andrich Washington left in a hurry. Late evening, he appeared at the home of friends in New Jersey. He was very angry. There was a small group inside the CIA was responsible for the assassination.

“G
(Andlehore Memorandum [Stamped: 19 JUL 1967]))

Although this memo depends on Fences Magazine report, shows that even the insiders were whispered from potential conspiracies.

Files also reveal the world of complex secret operations. One details of the work documents, Amfuna-1, a Cuban citizen who turned into a spy, built a wide network in Havana:

“Amfauna-1, a Cuban citizen, built a network of more than 20 sub-agency, and sent 140 secret messages,” and warned that “he might one day fall into the G-2 trap with a Cuban cabin.”
(JFK 1104-10070-10079 file)

This process emphasizes the nature of high risk to spying the Cold War, as American intelligence was involved in risky activities.
