Unsealed: The JFK Files and the Secrets They Reveal
Part 7: The Cover-Up Continues – The House Select Committee and the Fight for the Truth
🔍 Introduction – The Investigation That Challenged the Warren Commission
For 15 years after JFK’s assassination, the Warren Commission’s conclusion remained the official U.S. government stance:
✔ Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.
✔ There was no larger conspiracy.
✔ The case was closed.
But by the mid-1970s, new evidence, witness testimonies, and public skepticism forced Congress to reopen the case.
🔹 The House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) was formed in 1976 to reinvestigate JFK’s death.
🔹 It uncovered massive flaws in the Warren Report, suppressed evidence, and even suggested that JFK was killed by a conspiracy.
🔹 Newly unsealed JFK files confirm that intelligence agencies actively worked to mislead or obstruct the HSCA’s investigation.
For the first time, the U.S. government officially admitted:
✔ The Warren Report was incomplete and unreliable.
✔ There was a “probable conspiracy” in JFK’s assassination.
✔ Key evidence was deliberately suppressed or altered.
But if the HSCA concluded JFK was likely killed in a conspiracy, why didn’t the case reopen?
🗂 The House Select Committee’s Findings – What They Got Right and Wrong
1️⃣ The HSCA Proves the Warren Commission Was Flawed
🔹 New forensic evidence discredited the single-bullet theory.
🔹 The committee found that Oswald could not have fired all the shots alone.
🔹 FBI and CIA obstruction was confirmed—agencies deliberately withheld key documents.
🔹 Declassified files show that the CIA actively worked to limit the committee’s investigation.
📌 What This Means in Hindsight:
✔ The U.S. government admitted the Warren Commission’s findings were unreliable.
✔ Key intelligence agencies had a vested interest in preventing the full truth from emerging.
✔ The “lone gunman” theory was further weakened.
➡ Key Question: If the U.S. admitted the Warren Commission was flawed, why wasn’t the case reopened?
2️⃣ The “Acoustic Evidence” – Proof of a Second Shooter?
One of the HSCA’s most explosive findings was acoustic evidence suggesting a fourth shot was fired—meaning there had to be a second shooter.
🔹 A recording from a police officer’s radio captured the sound of gunfire.
🔹 Analysis suggested a fourth shot, which could not have come from Oswald’s rifle.
🔹 This led the HSCA to declare JFK was “probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy.”
However, after the committee’s report was published, critics—including the FBI—claimed the acoustic evidence was unreliable.
🔹 A later “re-analysis” in the 1980s attempted to discredit the findings.
🔹 Declassified CIA memos confirm that intelligence agencies feared the HSCA’s conclusions and worked to challenge them.
📌 What This Means in Hindsight:
✔ The HSCA’s findings suggested more than one shooter—but intelligence agencies worked to discredit it.
✔ The debate over the fourth shot remains one of the strongest arguments against the lone gunman theory.
✔ Why was the U.S. government so eager to dismiss the possibility of a second shooter?
➡ Key Question: Was the “discrediting” of the HSCA’s findings another government cover-up?
3️⃣ The CIA’s Role in Limiting the Investigation
The HSCA uncovered disturbing evidence that the CIA, FBI, and other intelligence agencies actively obstructed their work.
🔹 CIA officers admitted they withheld key documents from the Warren Commission in 1963.
🔹 Newly declassified memos reveal that intelligence officials discussed how to “manage” the HSCA’s probe.
🔹 Witnesses with information on Oswald’s intelligence ties were ignored or dismissed.
🔹 Mob connections to JFK’s assassination were downplayed—despite overwhelming evidence.
In other words, the same forces that may have orchestrated JFK’s assassination were controlling the reinvestigation.
📌 What This Means in Hindsight:
✔ The CIA actively worked to shape and obstruct investigations into JFK’s assassination.
✔ The HSCA was limited in how deeply it could investigate intelligence agency involvement.
✔ The case remained “unsolved” because the most powerful players never allowed the truth to emerge.
➡ Key Question: If there was nothing to hide, why did the CIA block every attempt to investigate JFK’s murder?
🔍 The Open Case – What’s Still Missing?
Even though the HSCA contradicted the Warren Commission, its work was also blocked, limited, and left incomplete.
❌ Many classified CIA & FBI documents were never released to the HSCA.
❌ Witnesses who claimed there was a conspiracy were ignored.
❌ The committee’s finding of a probable conspiracy was never pursued further by the Justice Department.
❌ No further investigations were launched after the HSCA report was published.
🚨 If the U.S. government admitted JFK was likely killed in a conspiracy, why did the case stay closed?
🔚 Closing Thoughts – What’s Next in the Series?
The HSCA exposed more than ever before—but the case was still left unresolved.
