JFK FILES: Oswald, the mafia, and the CIA's dirty secret
Over 80,000 pages of the previously classified JFK files have finally been released into the public domain via the National Archives — and unsurprisingly, they didn’t reveal much.
The files do, however, contain new details on Lee Harvey Oswald’s activities, which include a trip he took to Mexico City in 1963. Oswald was tracked contacting the Soviet and Cuban embassies where he asked about visas.
The second shooter theory was also entertained in the files, including one from a bystander that aligns with the 1979 House Select Committee’s acoustic evidence, which suggests a possible shot from the Grassy Knoll.
“And mafia connections are popping up again,” Dave Landau of “Normal World” comments. “Wiretap transcripts mentioned mob bosses venting about Kennedy with a link to the Cuban exiles and anti-Castro ops.”
One document even ties Chicago mob figures to CIA-backed Cuban militiamen, which hits at the “revenge motive” as retaliation to JFK’s crackdown on organized crime and the Bay of Pigs fallout.
Shockingly, there was also evidence revealed in the files that JFK Jr. called then-Senator Joe Biden (D-Del.) a “traitor.”
“I don’t know if it means anything in the big picture, but it’s nice to see,” Landau comments, adding, “He called him that in ‘94, and then JFK Jr. died right after.”
“Not right after, it was a few years after,” Matt McClowry jumps in.
“I look forward to learning nothing more about this,” Angela adds.

Did LBJ play a role in JFK's assassination? Expert reveals some disturbing information
Even though it’s been over 60 years since President John Fitzgerald Kennedy’s assassination, much of his untimely death is still shrouded in mystery.
Chuck Ochelli, a JFK Researcher, joins Pat Gray on the show to discuss some disturbing information that may shed light on what led to November 22, 1963, when Kennedy was shot and killed in Dallas, Texas.
“Was JFK or LBJ involved in the assassination of JFK?” Pat asks Chuck.
“To my opinion, [LBJ] was kind of tapped on the shoulder and told, ‘Get ready because I think you're going to be president real soon,’” says Chuck, adding that “somebody made him aware,” making LBJ “a criminal.”
“Was [LBJ] getting bribes? Was he making money off of land that was under water? ... Did he have corruption? Did he have payoffs? Did he have other people probably killed? Indeed, he did,” Chuck assures, adding that LBJ was also likely “involved with oil men” and “underworld business.”
However, “was he someone who masterminded [Kennedy’s assassination]? Not to my satisfaction. He didn’t have the reach,” he continues.
“So if it was not LBJ who ordered this ... then who was it?” asks Pat.
While the director of the CIA during Kennedy’s term, Allen Dulles, and former Dallas Mayor Earle Cabell, are names that frequently come up, Chuck says the answer to that question is actually “about the beneficiaries.”
“The people that are clearly defined as tied to the military-industrial complex ... they're the people that had the most to gain by getting JFK the hell out of the way,” he tells Pat.
To hear the specifics of Chuck’s theory, watch the clip below.
