JFK Facts Podcast #108: What is the Point of the JFK Story in 2025?

Thanks for reading JFK Facts! This post is public so feel free to share it.

Does full JFK disclosure important because it advances President Trump’s ambition to tame the so-called “deep state?” Does Trump’s advocacy of full JFK disclosure serve his authoritarian agenda? Or does full JFK disclosure matter because it holds the CIA accountable for abuses of power related to November 22, 1963, and highlights the need for Kennedy’s liberal policy vision today, a vision quite different than Trump’s? In a related issue, we talk about Robert F. Kennedy’ Jr.’s decision to release the autopsy photographs of his father. Radical transparency? Or unnecessary invasion of privacy?
