The JFK Assassination: What the New JFK Documents Really Reveal

In the decades since President John F. Kennedy’s assassination, Americans have questioned the official story that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. Now, with the full release of thousands of previously classified documents, the public finally has access to key pieces of the puzzle—documents that might confirm suspicions, fill in long-standing gaps, or raise entirely new questions.

In this powerful conclusion to our JFK miniseries, we dig into the most significant revelations from the recently declassified files. From CIA surveillance of Oswald and his time in the Soviet Union, to mysterious memos involving foreign informants and overlooked warnings, we unpack what the intelligence community really knew—and when. Was Oswald a Soviet asset or a loose cannon? What role, if any, did the CIA or Lyndon B. Johnson play? And what can we make of the bizarre story of Gary Underhill, the former CIA man who claimed Kennedy was killed by a rogue agency faction—and was found dead months later under suspicious circumstances?

You’ll also hear about:

• The truth behind Oswald’s alleged poor shooting skills

• A claim that the FBI was warned months in advance about the assassination

• Roger Stone’s controversial theory implicating LBJ

• Unreleased memos about CIA sabotage efforts against Cuba

• And what the newly uncovered Cold War files say about global reaction to JFK’s death

Experts say there’s no “smoking gun”—but these files do expose just how much was hidden from the public. Some claims remain speculative, others supported by strong documentation. In an age of increasing transparency demands and renewed public skepticism, these revelations remind us why the JFK assassination still captivates a nation.
