Amateur sleuths, politicos, and others hoping to glean new insights from the latest trove of unredacted John F. Kennedy files were likely frustrated if they dove into the archives in search of names that might satisfy the lingering questions of who — if not Lee Harvey Oswald — actually assassinated the president and who else may have been involved in the murder plot.
Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck underscored in his "Glenn TV" Wednesday Night Special that while the JFK files are disappointing if approached with questions of who, questions about what — "What has been going down? What are they trying to protect? What is the source of most of this mess?" — yield illuminating answers.
Beck and his team, aided in part by artificial intelligence, parsed through the JFK files with the "what?" type of questions in mind, testing long-standing theories, highlighting patterns of institutional abuse, and identifying the significance of certain previously unreleased files.
Over the course of the special, Beck zeroed in on what-centric documents that should put to bed any remaining doubts that the CIA is (or at least until recently has been) an unchecked, meddlesome, and dangerous organization willing to interfere in American elections, businesses, and media reports.
Going beyond the archives, Beck handily demonstrated with a replica of the rifle Oswald supposedly used in 1963, along with the appropriate "CIA bullets," that the single-shooter narrative is plausible. Beck also spoke to Shane Stevens, the grandson of Billie Sol Estes — a Texas businessman with alleged ties to Lyndon B. Johnson — about an expert-authenticated recording in which an alleged associate of LBJ accused him of hiring a hit man to take out Kennedy.

While the audio recording and Stevens' commentary fuel more who-questions, Beck made clear that the contents of the JFK files, the substance of which is not always readily apparent, nevertheless reveal much about the intelligence community of Kennedy's time — one that proved capable of routine wrongdoing, was familiar with Oswald, and grew more brazen in the months following the president's slaying — as well as the practices they wanted to keep hidden.
Off the reservation
Beck covered a lot of ground in his Wednesday special, discussing, for instance:
- new evidence of the bad blood between JFK and the CIA that was brought to a boil after the 1961 Bay of Pigs fiasco;
- the parallels between Kennedy's counter-moves against the CIA in the early 1960s and President Donald Trump's moves against the U.S. Agency for International Development in recent months;
- indications that the CIA was tracking Lee Harvey Oswald from the moment he departed the Soviet Union;
- the agency's connections to the establishment that sold Oswald the rifle that shot Kennedy, as well as to the ammunition used in the assassination;
- the CIA's infiltration of the American media and businesses and its apparent attempted wiretap of then-Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy; and
- former CIA asset John Garrett Underhill Jr.'s allegation that elements of the agency killed the sitting president because he caught wind that they were "carrying on a lucrative racket in gun-running, narcotics and other contraband, and manipulating political intrigue" for their own ends.
Beck also touched on the CIA's surveillance of Barry Goldwater, citing it as another damning example of precisely how "out of control" the agency had become around the time of Kennedy's assassination.

President Donald Trump was hardly the first Republican whose presidential campaign was infiltrated by politically motivated elements of the deep state on behalf of an incumbent Democratic president.
Barry Goldwater, a major general in the Air Force Reserve who long served as a senator for Arizona, was similarly surveilled when he ran for president against Lyndon Johnson following the Kennedy assassination. Whereas the FBI spied on Trump, in Goldwater's case, the CIA, which is prohibited by law from operating stateside, did most of the legwork.
Much has been said and written about the CIA's infiltration of Goldwater's 1964 campaign. The agency's infiltration of the Goldwater campaign has been public knowledge for roughly 50 years.
Everette Howard Hunt Jr., a 20-year veteran of the CIA who was a major agency player in the disastrous Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba and ended up serving prison time for his role in the Watergate burglary, told Senate investigators in 1973 that he directed a spying campaign on Goldwater's 1964 campaign.
According to Hunt, the instructions concerning this espionage came down from his CIA superiors and in turn allegedly came "down from the White House." Hunt told investigators that he "dispatched a couple of people to the Goldwater headquarters to see what was going on."
The spies apparently obtained advance campaign schedules, news releases, and "any other information they could get," said Hunt. This information ultimately made its way up the chain at the CIA, including to a superior allegedly stationed at the Johnson White House.
In the special, Beck highlighted a 46-page document consisting of numerous memos — some marked "secret" and written by Scott Dudley Breckinridge Jr., the former deputy inspector general of the CIA — regarding Hunt.
'The audio sounds convincing.'
Breckinridge noted in a Dec. 20, 1973, memo marked "secret" that agency files showed that during the fall of 1964, when Hunt "was alleged to have been engaged in surveillance activities of Barry Goldwater," Hunt was in the CIA's Directorate of Operations, which is also known as the Clandestine Service.
"Our files showed Hunt was in DO Division ... and in August 1964 was assigned to the Washington field office," wrote Breckinridge.
Again, the what was telling: the CIA was running clandestine operations in the nation's capital with the apparent aim of keeping Johnson in power.
Haunting tape
In a portion of the special, Beck explored the theory of Lyndon B. Johnson's involvement with the assassination with former Nixon administration staffer Roger Stone. Beck proved more willing to entertain this particular theory on account of a haunting audiotape played in full for BlazeTV subscribers and in excerpted form on YouTube.
In January, Alex Jones of Infowars hosted Shane Stevens and played never-heard-before digital audio of Clifton Carter, the former executive director of the Democratic National Committee and an apparently close associate of LBJ, claiming in conversation with Stevens' grandfather, convicted fraudster Billie Sol Estes, that Johnson hired a man named Malcolm "Mac" Wallace to kill JFK.
"The audio sounds convincing," said Beck. "I didn't want to take anyone's word for it."
'I do believe it helps confirm the LBJ and Mac Wallace involvement.'
In addition to speaking directly to Shane Stevens about the audio and listening to the actual analog tape live, Beck indicated that his team "had a JFK assassination expert examine the original tape," whose input left him "convinced that it is an authentic recording."
Dory Wiley, JFK assassination expert and CEO of Commerce Street Holdings LLC, told the program in a statement, "I've known about these tapes for years. Estes made several copies and gave them to some of his closest friends."
"I believe them to be genuine," continued Wiley. "The voices sound like the Billie Sol Estes and Cliff Carter from other sources I have heard."
Wiley added, "I believe them to be correctly dated and recorded at the time Shane has declared, and I believe the accusations. This does not mean there wasn't involvement by the CIA, the Secret Service, FBI, Mafia, or others, but I do believe it helps confirm the LBJ and Mac Wallace involvement."
Clifton Carter appears to say in the audio, "Well, Sol, it's been a pretty touch-and-go situation. Lyndon and I have had quite a few unpleasant words here lately over the deal that he hired Mac Wallace to assassinate the president."
"It's been hectic in every way, but we've lived through it this far and I guess we'll continue to do so," Carter appears to say. "Lyndon should have never issued that order to Mac. But we've had our differences and I'm true blue to Lyndon, as I've always been and tried to carry out every order that he's ever given me. But this is one I'll probably never be able to forget."
When pressed about his delay in releasing the audio, Stevens told Beck his grandfather tried on more than one occasion to "release the truth" but came to fear for his life.

Utah set to ban fluoride from drinking water as nation begins protecting kids from IQ drops
The Utah Senate approved legislation Friday that would prohibit the addition of fluoride to public water systems. The bill, criticized by the American Dental Association and a handful of supposed health experts, is now headed to the desk of Governor Spencer Cox, who has indicated he will sign it into law.
While the Beehive State is now set to become the first in the union to pass such a ban, it is unlikely to be the last.
The fluoridation of public waters has long been a subject of heated debate. Advocates for fluoridation argue that the chemical compound helps prevent cavities and tooth decay and strengthens enamel. Critics, on the other hand, suggest that adding fluoride to the water supply poses an unnecessary risk, referring to the scientific evidence linking exposure at elevated levels to various adverse health effects in humans, such as osteosclerosis, calcification of tendons, endocrine dysfunction, bone deformities, premature menarche in adolescent girls, and problems sleeping.
Chemical defenders were delivered a crushing narrative blow in August when the National Toxicology Program, part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, released a report admitting that fluoridated water can cause mental retardation in children.
'There is moderate confidence in the scientific evidence that showed an association between higher levels of fluoride and lower IQ in children.'
"Higher estimated fluoride exposures (e.g., as in approximations of exposure such as drinking water fluoride concentrations that exceed the World Health Organization Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality of 1.5 mg/L of fluoride) are consistently associated with lower IQ in children," said the NTP report.
The NTP uses four confidence levels to characterize the strength of scientific evidence that links a particular health outcome with an exposure: high, moderate, low, or very low.
Blaze News previously reported that after evaluating epidemiological studies from multiple countries where some pregnant women, babies, and children were exposed to fluoride at levels exceeding 1.5 milligrams per liter of drinking water, the NTP "concluded there is moderate confidence in the scientific evidence that showed an association between higher levels of fluoride and lower IQ in children."
The report further indicated that as of 2020, roughly 3.5 million Americans were served by water systems containing over 1.1 mg/L of naturally occurring fluoride; around 1.9 million Americans were supplied by systems with over 1.5 mg/L; and 1 million were being supplied with over 2 mg/L of naturally occurring fluoride.
Shortly after the release of the NTP report, a U.S. district judge ruled in a case brought against the Biden Environmental Protection Agency that "fluoridation of water at 0.7 milligrams per liter — the level presently considered 'optimal' in the United States — poses an unreasonable risk of reduced IQ in children."
Hundreds of American cities and counties subsequently halted the addition of fluoride to their water supplies, while some health authorities noted that the risk-reward ratio was unacceptable.
'So it's got to be a really high bar for me if we're going to require people to be medicated by their government.'
Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo, for instance, released guidance on Nov. 22, recommending against community water fluoridation "due to the neuropsychiatric risk associated with fluoride exposure."
In his guidance, Ladapo referenced the NTP study as well as a 2017 Mexican study that found prenatal fluoride exposure was associated with lower IQ in boys and girls ages 6 to 12; a 2019 Canadian cross-sectional study that found an association between exposure to fluoridated water and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in children and adolescents; and a 2023 study that found that maternal exposure to fluoridated drinking water at the recommended 0.7 milligrams per liter during pregnancy was linked to decreased child inhibitory control and cognitive flexibility.
Citing the court ruling, U.S. HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. noted ahead of Election Day that "fluoride is an industrial waste associated with arthritis, bone fractures, bone cancer, IQ loss, neurodevelopmental disorders, and thyroid disease."
Lawmakers evidently decided to go the distance in Utah, where the Centers for Disease Control indicated that 43.6% of residents were served by fluoridated community water systems as of December 2022.
State Rep. Stephanie Gricius, the Republican who sponsored the fluoride ban, recently indicated that when a friend and constituent proposed the ban to her two years ago, she told her that "this will never pass." However, Gricius, a self-identified "crunchy mom" — a term often used to describe a parent averse to processed foods, unnecessary medication, and pharmaceutical or governmental overreach — suggested that the constituent persisted in her advocacy for scrapping fluoride, ultimately convincing her to take action.
After working on the legislation and exploring what other states were doing, Gricius noted that Utah Senate Majority Leader Kirk Cullimore (R) reached out to her in late 2024 expressing an interest in collaborating on the issue. Together, they saw the legislation through the state legislature.
The American Dental Association urged the governor in a Feb. 25 letter to veto the legislation, claiming that an end to fluoridated water could mean increased dental disease and related costs.
Cox suggested to KTVX-TV over the weekend that in terms of dental health, there have apparently not been "drastically different outcomes" when comparing Utah counties that have fluoridated waters with those that don't.
"So it's got to be a really high bar for me if we're going to require people to be medicated by their government," said the governor.
"It's not a bill I felt strongly about. It's not a bill I care that much about, but it's a bill I will sign," added Cox.

CNN: Deep State Bureaucrats Threaten To Sell State Secrets If Trump Isn’t Nice To Them
CNN warns that intelligence employees who get the axe are valuable — and that those same employees will sell national secrets if fired. Which is it?The quantum AI revolution is here — and we’re not ready
On Wednesday, Microsoft quietly announced a breakthrough that could change the world forever. No fanfare, no flashing sirens — just a casual revelation that it's unlocked an entirely new state of matter. This isn’t science fiction. This is real. And if you thought the pace of technological change was overwhelming before, buckle up, because everything changed yesterday.
In science class, we are taught there are three states of matter: solids, liquids, and gases. Microsoft has allegedly developed a new class of matter, called “topological conductors,” that form the foundation of a new kind of quantum computing. The tech world has been chasing this for decades, and now, after nearly 20 years of research and billions of dollars, Microsoft has found the key.
This breakthrough isn’t just another incremental tech update — it’s a paradigm shift — and shifts like this don’t come without consequences.
Computing power is about to explode beyond anything we’ve ever imagined. Right now, we process information linearly — one step at a time. However, with quantum computing, an infinite number of calculations can be solved simultaneously. If today’s best supercomputers are like an Olympic sprinter, quantum computers are like teleportation — and we’re on the verge of plugging artificial intelligence into that system.
Has AI already surpassed human intelligence?
This week, Elon Musk’s AI system, Grok, released its latest update, and it’s already surpassing ChatGPT. I asked Grok how fast it learns new information, and it told me that in just 12 hours, it gains the equivalent of five to 10 years of human intellectual development. Imagine what happens when AI of this capacity is connected to quantum computing. The AI itself estimated that instead of advancing five to 10 years in 12 hours, it would leap 50 to 100 years in intellectual growth. Let that sink in.
We are looking at intelligence that will be unimaginably superior to the smartest human beings on the planet, accelerating at a pace beyond comprehension. It won’t be a matter of decades before AI outpaces human intelligence — but days — and we’ve just given it the keys to quantum power.
This is an event horizon, the moment after which nothing will ever be the same.
Are you prepared for this?
Tech elites, corporations, and governments are sprinting toward artificial superintelligence without a single serious conversation about what happens next. We already see AI systems manipulating public perception, influencing politics, and transforming industries. But what happens when an intelligence 1,000 times greater than any human starts making decisions for us? What happens when it controls entire economies, military systems, and information networks?
Microsoft’s announcement should have been headline news. Instead, it was a tweet, a YouTube video, a whisper in the background of the cultural noise. But this breakthrough isn’t just another incremental tech update, it’s a paradigm shift — and shifts like this don’t come without consequences.
We stand at the precipice of a new world. Quantum-powered AI will redefine everything — from the way we work, to the way we think, to the very fabric of reality as we understand it. This isn’t just an upgrade. This is the rewriting of the human experience.
