The long promised Kennedy Files were finally released by President Trump in March 2025. These files prove the existence of the Deep State in 1963 powerful enough by then, over years of development and secrecy, to kill the president of the United States and keep that fact from being revealed for 62 years, until all responsible for his death were unpunished and safely dead. These newly released files also prove that Lee Harvey Oswald was in fact a CIA asset, recruited, trained, and groomed by the CIA in Japan while he was in the service at the Naval Air Facility Atsugi in the late 1950’s. (See “John F. Kennedy Assassination Files Revealed, A State Within a State,” LibertyUnderFire.com, March 26, 2025).
President Trump released 2,800 CIA secret documents known to exist but had been kept from the people and Congress for 62 years, even through several JFK assassination investigations. That makes the CIA an accomplice to the crime. All post Kennedy presidents knew of the existence of these files especially Gerald Ford, a member of Johnson’s Warren Commission, and George Herbert W. Bush, a past CIA director, but only Trump, despite enormous opposition, allowed them declassified. Both Kennedy and Trump fought their Deep State’s and worked to expose them and both took a bullet to the head for doing so (“UNBELIEVABLY Most Presses Missed the Most Important JFK Assassination File Finding, ” LibertyUnderFire.com, April 2, 2025).
The CIA also tried to remove yet another sitting president, Trump, in 2019, this time with a coup manufactured by it to impeach the sitting president making him ineligible for a second term. We know now this too was a CIA opt. The point man was “CIA Analyst Eric Ciaramella, the anonymous CIA ‘whistleblower’ [who] worked with Joe Biden on Ukraine policy. Biden appointed DHS Nina Jankowicz worked inside Zelenskyy’s campaign HQ. The coup was “triggered when a member of the National Security Council named Alexander Vindman coordinated with a member of the CIA National Intelligence Council named Eric Ciaramella to fabricate a false claim that President Trump leveraged his power and authority to demand Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy release information on Joe and Hunter Biden’s corrupt financial dealings in Ukraine….Two years prior to the 2019 impeachment construct, in January 2017, the same CIA analyst, Eric Ciaramella, had worked on the fraudulent Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) at the behest of CIA Director John Brennan. Outlining Ciaramella’s activity not only hits CIA Director John Brennan and former DNI James Clapper, but it also hits former President Barack Obama.” ALL KNOWINGLY participated in the coup.
“Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson independently changed the ICIG rules permitting Ciaramella to remain anonymous and make an ‘urgent concern’ claim that ultimately led to an impeachment effort.” So “Eric Ciaramella fabricated intelligence information. ICIG Atkinson shared it with Congress and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI). Representatives of HPSCI Chairman Adam Schiff met with Ciaramella and assisted him during the construct.
“From all appearances, IC IG Atkinson was organizing the operation in advance. CIA analyst Eric Ciaramella provided the story. With Adam Schiff prepared to receive the complaint, and Mary McCord prepared to weaponize the complaint, collectively they ran the operation to impeach a sitting President on an entirely fraudulent basis.” The coup used all three branches of government. The CIA represented the Executive, “tried to impeach President Donald Trump; the aggregate Intelligence Community was there to assist. The Legislative was represented “by the the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) and HJC, Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler were prepared to organize the impeachment construct. Mary McCord working as staff.” And the Judicial, “Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts would not let Eric Ciaramella’s name be spoken at trial. Mary McCord’s husband, Sheldon Snook, was working for John Roberts at the time. This was a coordinated impeachment effort across all three branches of government” (“The CIA Tried to Remove a Sitting President,” The Last Refuge, April 15, 2026).
The new Trump appointed CIA Director John Ratcliffe was involved in the release of the Kennedy Files and the above conclusions especially the CIA’s active role in the assassination of John F. Kennedy and began immediately to make certain that could never happen again. Since, he has “done more house cleaning at Langley than anyone in decades.” He immediately “extended the government-wide deferred resignation buyout program to the entire CIA workforce. The first time any intelligence agency had done this. The pitch was blunt: take the deal and walk, or get on board with the new mission—51 DEI related officers were targeted for termination. The plan is to shrink the CIA by roughly 1200 positions over Trump's term, partly through early retirement, partly through reducing hiring, and partly through straight firings.” (Ratcliff’s Purge of the CIA , X22 Report, Ep. 3934b, June 24, 2026, 52:23). Commendable efforts yes, but shouldn’t we be considering abolishing the rouge Deep State institution entirely?
The documents are finally in and conclusive. There is no other side in either Kennedy’s or Trump’s cases. Silence is not a counter argument. Ignoring the evidence as though it never happened does not change that it did happen. Neither is contested—just silenced. In any just court of law in any other time in American history prior to 63 year ago, participants would be incarcerated or executed for treason. All who participated in Kennedy’s assassination and covered it up and those since who tried to remove Trump, a sitting president, through an Impeachment Fraud Coup denying him a consecutive term in office; these include: now former presidents Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and candidate for, Hillary Clinton, and Intel Committee leaders John Brennan, James Clapper, and James Comey and many more. At least two-thirds of Americans know this statement to be true. The others are either willfully blind or also know it to be true but do not care. This is where America is at it’s 250th celebration July 2026. There remains no justice for either. The CIA was knee-deep in both the assassination and the coup. The heavens weep and patriots, alive or long deceased, cry out for justice. It has to come.
