same road. someone needs to pull him aside and say this is inappropriate. his wife did that. it s not okay. setting the boundaries, all of it is is good. thank you. for decades, americans have been consumed by conspiracy theories about the kennedy assassination. one of the newly released classified documents ends with a new cliffhanger about lee harvey oswald. was he working for the cia?
suddenly we re pulling certain things back for relatively national security reasons will only fuel your idea that this is a giant conspiracy theory and just when you were about to get to the bottom of it, the government stepped back in. we talk about conspiracy theories. not everybody remembers lee harvey oswald s life. here was an american, former marine, who in 1959 defects to the soviet union and then redefects or undefects back to the united states a couple of months before the assassination, he goes to mexico where he meets with american government officials, among others. he s involved in this group called fair play for cuba, supporting the cuban government in dallas. i mean, there is so much weirdness in this guy s life. what most of these documents are about are not about the assassination per se.
any way shows he was a cia eight or agent. then it goes, dot, dot, dot and ends. that s part of what wasn t released overnight. that is an unbelievable cliffhanger. apparently the government is going to continue to hold back for months and months the super secret documents about this turning point in american history. the cia has been adamant there was no tie to lee harvey oswald. clearly there was something they didn t want released. maybe it comes up in april. there are some interesting nuggets. warnings that the fbi gave about lee harvey oswald being at risk after the kennedy assassination. this is skj. edgar hoover.
said, oh, he was quite good. when asked why he said that, i knew him . to suggest that this man, lee harvey oswald, was a danger. another cliff hanger, whether oswald worked for the cia. richard helms, deputy cia director under kennedy was asked if lee harvey on oswald was a cia agent where the document suddenly ends without an answer. even linden b. johnson is said to have explained another theory. according to helms, johnson claimed he was killed as payback for the assassination of vietnam s president and this was just justice. even though helms said there was no evidence of this claim in agency records. but a memo from fbi direct j. edgar hoover to the white house three years after kennedy was killed details reaction inside the soviet union, including
not only are the intelligence agencies perhaps stonewalling but they are also dropping this ridiculously intriguing new hints. a memo that involves the interview with richard helms, cia director in the 70s. he was asked, is there any information involved with the assassination of kennedy that shows in any way that lee harvey oswald was somehow a cia agent or an agent and then dot, dot, dot. tune in to the next episode. it is like let me tell you the secret of life. and then agh! in has been so weighted with conspiracy is theory, with varying accounts of what happened that anything like that is going to add to it. and i ll echo jeff in that if you are a conspiracy theorist about the kennedy assassination, stuff like that and the fact that we thought we were getting everything and at the 11th hour
