US President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday mandating the “full and complete release” of government records related to the 1960s assassinations of US President John F. Kennedy (JFK), Senator Robert F. Kennedy (RFK), and civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. (MLK).

I will be interested to see what comes out of this, despite this being another distraction from actual governance, imo.

Someone told me today "I can't believe it, Lyndon Johnson was behind the jfk assassination" He was watching a video with a recording and a black and white image in the background where they said something like "Lyndon paid Mac to assassinate the president". Gut reaction, on the spot, was that the recording was faked.

I didn't have time to look into it at the time, but later on I did. It was audio put out by Roger Stone and Alex Jones, NOT some newly revealed audio from the declassified documents.

Well at least something doesn't entirely suck about this administration.
