In March 2025, we learned that our own CIA was linked to the JFK assassination. The Kennedy Files were released by President Trump in March 2025 despite INTENSE opposition. Had he not insisted they likely never would have been released. These files prove the existence of a Deep State in 1963 powerful enough by then, over years of development and secrecy, to assassinate the president of the United States and keep their involvement hidden for 62 years through multiple congressional hearings, until all responsible for his death were unpunished and safely dead. The 2,000 newly released files also document 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 at Atsugi in the late 1950s. Obviously others were involved or they would not have hid this fact. Also, every president prior to Trump could have released these files but feared to.
There is no organization more Deep State than the CIA. Since the Deep State was never fully revealed, removed or punished then, it is still in place. LibertyUnderFile.org published in March 2025 two columns 1) “John F. Kennedy Assassination Files Revealed ‘A State Within a State.’” AND, 2)“UNBELIEVABLY Most Presses Missed the Most Important JFK Assassination File Finding.” The State Within a state was the CIA. 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.
Trump dealt with this “State Within a State” issue continually since 2015 but most clearly on Sept. 30, 2025 when he, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, summoned hundreds of the nations top military officers to Marine Corps Base Quantico. Attendance was not optional. His two principal messages given to the generals and admirals was that the enemy is within this country and the military must remember it’s oath to protect and defend the Constitution from “all enemies foreign and domestic.” This time they were domestic. He said, “This is going to be a big thing for the people in this room because it’s the enemy from within and we have to handle it before it gets out of control. It won’t get out of control once you’re involved” (“Trump Discloses to the U.S. Generals ‘The Enemy is From Within,”’ LibertyUnderFire.org,10 October 2025).
In April 2025 the FBI Crossfire Hurricane documents went public revealing Deep State treason by Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden. By May it was clear that the FBI was linked to a secret plan, a Coup d’etat., to prevent Donald Trump from being elected president in 2016, and when once elected, thereafter to NOT allow his inauguration. The new FBI Director, Kash Patel, sent members of Congress the released nearly 700 pages of declassified records called “Crossfire Hurricane” debunking the baseless Trump–Russia saga. Congressional Democrats were largely accomplices!! The release was labeled the Crossfire Hurricane Redacted Binder.” This was the lost binder the Biden FBI expected, but failed to find, in their Mar-A-Largo raid on Trump’s home 9 August 2022. These documents are devastating to Dems. There was no Trump/Russia collusion. Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden have the most to worry from the, long suppressed, FBI Crossfire Hurricane documents having been the most heavily involved in the Coup d’etat. Each has played a major role in the present Deep State hold on America (“Newly Released FBI Crossfire Hurricane Documents Reveal Deep State Treason,” LibertyUnderFire.org 7 May 2025).
In July The new CIA director John Radcliffe released ICA’s Tradecraft Review of the 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) revealing the CIA, FBI, and DNI’s unsuccessful attempt to nullify Trump’s 2016 election victory over Hillary Clinton because of alleged Russian collusion in the election. In this, outgoing president Barack Obama and then CIA Director John Brennan played major and intentional roles in both. The reassessment magnified the Crossfire Hurricane documents. The Russian Hoax and it’s cover-up, is now the biggest political scandal in American history. “Never has a president left office to collude with others to impede the next sitting president of the United States of America until Obama! (“Bombshell Declassified ICA Report on 2016 Plot to Overthrow Elected President,” 9 July 2025, LibertyUnderFire.org).
On July 22, 2025 Tulsi Gabbard was interviewed by Rob Schmitt on Newsmax. The US Director of National Intelligence (DNI) alleged that former president Barack Obama “manufactured” evidence to “suggest Russia helped Donald Trump win the 2016 presidential election.” Gabbard “announced that she was referring Obama” administration officials – including FBI director James Comey, ex-CIA director John Brennan, and her own predecessor James Clapper to the Justice Department over their roles in the alleged plot to undermine Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton. She subsequently accused Obama of orchestrating a “year-long coup” against Trump during an interview with Maria Bartiromo on Fox News Sunday Morning futures.
The DNI declassified “Obama administration treasonous conspiracy” which consisted of two plots 1) Obama created a fake issue mid-summer 2016 to ensure the people voted for Hillary Clinton and 2) when Trump was elected anyway, he used his office, on December 9, 2016, just before vacating, to “cook up Intel” to not seat the peoples’ choice for president, both treasonable. The evidence was found in a secret room, in a “burn bag” at FBI headquarters. There was never a Trump Russia collusion to elect Trump” (“Avalanche of Newly Declassified Documents Support Obama’s Treason Charge,” LibertyUnderFire.org. 6 Aug. 2025).
No president has been referred to the Department of Justice for criminal behavior and potential prosecution for treason. This by Tulsi Gabbard, a lifelong Democrat,
former Democrat member of Congress from Hawaii, and Democrat candidate herself for president in 2024, presently serving as Trump’s US Director of National Intelligence (DNI). She accused her former two-termed president, Barack Hussein Obama, of treason, presenting “over 100 pages of declassified, memos, assessments, and emails, including whistleblower claims.”
Yes, the two most consequential stories of 2025 are about treason but they also document the existence of a secret Deep State government in both political parties many years before 1963 strong enough to kill a president and escape justice till all involved were unpunished and safely dead. President Trump faces and exposes the same secret combination today. Both presidents, one a Democrat the other a Republican, took a bullet to the head for opposing it–Kennedy fatally. Both parties–all Americans– should be united in destroying the Deep State.
