Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets: the JFK Files – April 1 2025
Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets: the JFK Files
Amended April 13th 2025.
Well it was happening on April fools day no less and the irony had not escaped me. That it was in part almost hilarious was something I had not expected. I expected a rather sombre, almost sleep inducingly boring listing of what was still missing. Instead……
During this hearing there were a few who asked some rather funny but very inane questions that were about to turn this thing into a circus of conspiracy entertainment. And of course did the bi-partisan politics come into play as well. It was entertainment only the USA could provide!

What I had expected was that someone from that panel would list what was still missing from a JFK assassination records release perspective. Malcolm Blunt did some of this by emailing me and which I reposted on the DPUK website. Of all people, in this niche, he could have summarised what was missing and what has been detroyed!
I did forward this, but sadly it was not jumped upon. Unless that is still to come…..?
The records releases and the hearing made me decide to meet up with Malcolm Blunt on April 5th and tape our chats. We had not seen eachother since early Dec 2024. Malcolm is semi-retired and kicks back in a warm sunny destination. However his time Malcolm had something extra to say!
To me the whole shebang was about the NBC fillms by Dave Wiegman and Jimmy Darnell. If there is anything that could throw open the case, which certain individuals aren’t too enamoured about.
Jefferson Morley tweeted his opinion (a baseless one if I may add) the day before the hearing. It appears that Morley and Posner are walking hand in hand on the value of the NBC films. No sources, just opinions.
In summary:
- Morley told her it is NOT a definitive piece of evidence. It can be and for that it needs to be investigated.
- Morley said it is NOT important to the JFK community. Not true, if there is anything that could collapse the assumption of Lee Harvey Oswald’s guilt it is this.
- Morley advised her to drop it. On what basis?
- Morley hopes some day NBC will clear the air by making available high-res scans. Some day? How about right now!
- Mortley states that NBC is not hiding anything. I beg to differ based on our experience.
Is this a prime example of kicking the can down the road while attempts are made to get the film out for the public to see for themselves?
Then during the hearing, as I was watching it live, Jefferson Morley was speaking about the NBC films again and I wasn’t really clocking all of it but it sounded like a repeat of that tweet. The overall impression I got was that none of the questioners of that panel were well appraissed. They were briefed. Therefor they were informed what to ask. Watch the video of the hearing for yourself. Tell me I am dead wrong! Greg Parker brought this up before me a week or so ago and he is spot on.
The exchange I refer to above goes as follows:
Mr Garcia (49:35) I want to also just so that note that we should follow of course the facts wherever they go. Mr. Morley, in the run-up to this hearing, I know that there was some public reporting about this video that has been referenced. It’s never before seen video of the shooting. Now that video itself is not a secret. I mean, JFK researchers have known about this video for a few years. Is that correct?
Jefferson Morley (49:55): For decades. Yes.
Mr Garcia (49:56): Okay. And the film is not definitive about Oswald’s whereabouts at the time of the incident?
Jefferson Morley (50:03): No. It is not.
Mr Garcia (50:04): Okay. And it’s not regarded as overly important by serious JFK researchers. Would you agree with that?
Jefferson Morley (50:11): Correct.
Mr Garcia (50:11): Okay. And it has never been a factor in major analysis in the causes of JFK assassination. Is that also correct?
Jefferson Morley (50:18): Not in mine and not in any of the researchers I work with.
Mr Garcia (50:22): Okay. Thank you. And I think it’s important to clarify that because I think there’s a lot of speculation and interest in the video, but I think we should be very clear about what the video actually is. Also, I know as it relates to the rollout of the JFK files, it also included a lot of, I think, personal information. Mr. Davisson, I just want to turn to you for a minute.
You’d start to suspect that this was all agenda driven. Time will tell if Morley voices his opinion again.
Near the end of the hearing Representative Luna asked Oliver Stone if he would recommend that the task force send a letter to NBC requesting the Dave Wiegman & Jimmy Darnell films to which he replied in the affirmative. It’s a start, an attempt at least to get the films out in the public domain.
We shall see where this is going. In the mean time expect to be bored to death by opinionated conspiracy theorists and lone nutters just speculate their rear off of what they think and believe.
If(!) the original films arrive at NARA then we are a step closer to obtaining the cherry on top.
The evidence for Oswald’s innocence and his whereabouts during the JFK Assassination is already there!

JFKA Records Releases Mar 18-21
Donald Trump did what he said he would do after backtracking during his first run.
Speculation was rife and not one person was on the money. My hopes on seeing something really relevatory were slim, due to the area of interest I operate in. In the ten years that I have dug into documents I have barely come across CIA documentation that was pertinent to Oswald’s last 48 hours.
But this batch needed checking out.
At this point, after checking a resepctable amount of records these past few days, I can say that with these PDFs:
- No OCR is implemented (how much longer would that take?).
- Other than its actual rif number there is no date, description or from which agency it is coming from. I find it hard to accept that this batch of such important documents does not have an index of some sort. However people like Rex Bradford have been hard at work on amending that. The files can now also be searched at the Mary Ferrell Archive.
- Certain docs miss RIF Coversheets.
- Some docs are very hard to read. Then again so did a fair few of Malcolm Blunt’s archive when I scanned them in.
- I am surprised by the amount of documents that have no bearing on the John F Kennedy assassination. There are some intelligence files on operations with names in them that have no bearing and should have been classed NBR (not believed relevant).
- HSCA staffers renumerations, really?
- Who is Manuel Marti, of which there are several records, and what is his relevance?
- There are MLK documents inside this batch.
- There are records that had (partial) redactions that have been lifted, but there are still some records with its redactions intact. I found about half a dozen of them.
- I have not come across any George Joannides files.
Any finds then? Slim pickings to be honest.
Amos Lee Euins arrest report from 1970. And the point of keeping this locked up for 60 odd years is what exactly?
James W Bookhout, various documents that have little or no bearing on his work that weekend.
Larry Florer, again I ask why keep this biographical data under wraps that long?
Mary Hall a statement for the HSCA I had not known of before.
Joe Molina (many pages missing btw)
I shall add more findings as I go along.
Not a lot to be honest, then again I did not expect much. This collection is much better suited for uncle Malcolm’s interest.
I for one am more hopeful of seeing something of importance in the 2,400 FBI files that have been discovered.
The only question right now is when will they be shared?

Recently I had the pleasure to talk with Bill Raider and Sean Kane on the That’s Enough Outta You! podcast.
I had a great time, thank you very much gentlemen.

Greetings all!
It has been a while since I posted as I did not have much to share and I needed a much needed break from it all. And now I have a few things to share with you. But before I start I wish to thank everyone who bought my book and also took the effort of reviewing it and heaping it with such praise. I am completely chuffed by the overal large postive feedback to it.
A new job, which I started in Jan. this year, was the perfect escape from it all. In early Dec. 2023 I was approached for it and after a trip to Germany I was offered the job within 15 minutes and the first 10 was just about my book. So after all it was good for something!
Although I did look at some things, the work I did is so demanding from a time perspective that pro-activeness wasn’t on the cards at all and it will take some time before I get back into the ring.
But (there is always one) I have started to collect some bits that will be used in an update to the book. But it will be quite a while before I even attempt to do that. I am planning to release a hardback version then and will also insert more photographic media. The print quality of photographs prevented me from doing this last year. Hopefully things will have improved by the time the updated version will be released. Watch this space for further announcements.
Instead I started to work on some technicalities of the Malcolm Blunt archive and I can tel you that in the past month I have been busy using OCR on about 15,000 PDFs to increase ease of searching through the entire set of records. This was the easy part as I could let it do its job in the background.
Next comes grouping the records, renaming and catagorising and rehousing it on a new Google Drive depository which I hope to have completed by the 61st anniversary. It will have a few thousand extra PDFs which have not been shared before. I shall announce its completion of course. I know this is a thankless task, but I wish to complete the whole thing there and then before I can move on. The beauty of doing this huge undertaking is that I end up reveiwing previously scanned documents again and this ‘break’ from all that documentation has enabled me to see further bits that I can use, also for books 2 & 3. Whenever that may be.
Oh yes!!!!!!
