President Trump is of the mind that the public should have the official details of the JFK assasination released for their perusal, apparently he is the first POTUS to think so and has indicated to confidants that it will occur this year. An attorney I'm familiar with who has been investigating this case assures me it will happen. Not sure if this is an itk, but it will keep the black helicopter types occupied for a while.
I doubt that Trump can even spell IQ. Last weeks revelation was that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has with Defense Secretary James Mattis and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, formed a 'suicide pact' that if Trump tries to get rid of one, the other two will threaten to resign. Apparently their concern is that, with Trump, you always have to make sure there is an adult in the room.
On my way home and I realize I am as guilty as any conspiratorial nut of spinning a story. The chap who was in our company was on the review board, these docs can be released on the 26th of the month, unless the President objects(but he seems to be on favour). Apparently there are few things in these papers that have not been debated until the cows come home, but these are the official government evidence. Our companion was the most well informed gent I've ever heard on the subject, very entertaining and interesting few hours, dinner was pretty good as well.

A lot of bollards is written under the guise of a 'conspiracy theory'. People cannot accept that a hero figure can be slain by a nutjob and while that is the case, there is money to be made feeding that desire.
There are in excess of 2,000 books on the JFK killing and on the 40th anniversary of JFK's death, Gallup did a survey that found 60% of Yanks still believed in a conspiracy. They often don't know why they believe it, they just do! The worst culprit to feed this industry, was the God-awful Oliver Stone movie, JFK!
Of the several books I've read about the JFK shooting, Gerald Posner's book, 'Case Closed' was the most impressive. After which, I found there to be no need to read any other tomes on the matter. LHO did it. He did it alone, and the reasons advanced by Posner were convincing. Not that he was without criticisms, but many also agreed with his conclusion.
Posner has also written several other good reads on matters of this ilk, none more so that on the assassination of Martin Luther King.

The very fact that Trump thinks that one person having a higher IQ than another is somehow an inarguable sign that the first is 'more intelligent' than the other, shows that he is, in Rex's words, 'a f***ing moron.'
James Ellroy's book American Tabloid is an incredible historical fiction account of that whole era and the collusion between the mafia/CIA/FBI/Kennedys etc around Cuba and ultimately the assassination of JFK.
Well worth a read, one of the greatest books ever written IMO.
It's fiction, obviously, but he makes a compelling story up about how the mafia/Hoover/the CIA all wanted JFK dead.

don't these kind of documents get made public after a certain number of years so not sure this has anything to do with Trump more that 50 years have passed.

One of the most interesting theories I've read (and seen in part in an excellent documentary titled 'The Secrets of Oz' which reveals what the Wizard of Oz was actually about - an allegory about the US banking system) is that Kennedy's assassination was to do with his opposition to the private banking cabal that basically runs America's finances. Don't forget that the Federal Reserve, formed in 1913, is privately owned.
There has been a war waged for over 200 years for control of America's finances. The war was between the various private banks and those who realised that the people's and State's currency should be owned by the government (and therefore the people), since it is far too important a utility to be in private hands, for profit. But, as we all know, up till now, the private banks have won this war. The privately owned federal reserve lends money to the US government at interest, the US government does not own its own currency. (This is replicated in many other countries of course).
Without writing a whole essay on the subject, the basic point of the theory is that 3 very notable US presidents directly opposed the private banking cartel and publicly proposed to do something about it. Those presidents were James Garfield, Abraham Lincoln and JFK. All three were assassinated by lone assailants.

John Wilkes Booth wasn't a lone assailant, except in the fact that only one man can pull a trigger. He was part of a conspiracy that saw four others hang and four more get life imprisonment. While he may well have been a Rothschild hitman as some suggest on the internet, Occam's Razor demands that I point out that he was a fervent supporter of the Confederacy and of slavery, had attended John Brown's hanging and had twice formed conspiracies to kidnap Lincoln. Lincoln was actually a fan of Booth despite the fact that Booth's opinions were well known - he had been banned form performing in some Northern cities, but worked in both the North and South during the war.
Lincoln's assassination came four days after the surrender of Robert E Lee to General Grant. Booth's conspiracy called for the murder of Lincoln, VP Johnson and General Grant, who were all supposed to be in the theatre that night, to decapitate the Union government, revenge the Confederacy and give support to their last hold-outs. Grant didn't go, and the conspirator who was meant to kill Johnson, later hanged, got too drunk trying to get the courage together. Johnson and Grant were the next two Presidents. Another conspirator broke into the home of the Secretary of State and stabbed him, but he survived.
Garfield was killed by a lone assassin, who is believed to have been a schizophrenic suffering from syphilis. He had been President just four months at the time of his attack, though he took another three months to die. Though a Civil War general with an unusual interest in civil rights, Garfield was apparently a conventional republican in monetary terms, and spoke against the paper money system that Lincoln used to finance the war and which is supposed to have incurred the wrath of the Rothschilds. I'm happy to be corrected on this. It's also only right to point out that both Lincoln and Garfield were assassinated before the founding of the Federal Reserve, as was McKinlay, who was killed by a Czech revolutionary socialist.

Thanks for that, very interesting. Indeed, Lincoln and Garfield were assassinated before the founding of the federal reserve. That was not the main factor in that particular theory though. You might be interested to watch this documentary, not least because it is fascinating to note that L Frank Baum did indeed write the Wizard of Oz as an allegory about the US monetary system, which is of course a little known fact....

Haven't had a chance yet, but whether the US dollar should be gold or silver backed was a bafflingly huge issue in US elections at the turn of the century. I think it was because the US had big silver mines so in theory could run an expansionary policy with silver, but I don't know. Basically, farmers and "Main Street" seemed to be for silver, Wall Street and inflation hawks (including pensioners and other people with private incomes) for gold.
