Sometimes the obvious conclusion is the correct one. From Jacob G. Hornberger at fff.org:
More than 30 years ago, Congress enacted the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992. Enacted in the wake of Oliver Stone’s movie JFK, which posited that the Kennedy assassination was a regime-change operation on the part of the U.S. national-security establishment, the law mandated that all the assassination-related records of the Pentagon, the CIA, the Secret Service, the FBI, and other federal agencies be released to the public. Having succeeded in keeping their assassination-related records secret for almost 30 years, they didn’t like that at all.
Today — more than 60 years after the assassination — the CIA continues to keep thousands of its assassination-related records secret. Its justification? You guessed it: “national security,” the two most powerful and meaningless words in the American political lexicon. CIA officials maintain, with straight faces, that if those still-secret assassination-related records were released, the United States would fall into the ocean, be taken over by communists, or have its “national security” endangered in some other silly way.
How in the world can “national security” be threatened by the release of records that are more than 60 years old, regardless of what definition is placed on that nebulous term? Indeed, how can any American really believe this nonsense? They obviously take Americans for dupes.

WAR hero JFK had enemies lined up and if the mob did help him to win that was a bad move to have his brother go after them.
He didn’t want a certain indispensable ally to get nukes, didn’t want to go into Vietnam and gave a speech about disbanding the Criminals In Action and private banking cartel Fed Reserve.
Breaking from Archie Bell & the Drells:
Tighten Up.
The path leading from the citadel of liberty to the dungeon of tyranny first passes through the doorway marked “secrecy.”
