It’s amazing that in the scene in JFK he talked about how (I don’t remember the scene exactly) presidential records on the JFK assassination would be sealed until the 2030s, and how excited he was that his grandchildren would be able to read it.
And even with all that pushback it’s still true. They keep releasing 70%, making that last bit of the documents that’s unreleased ever smaller. But there’s always something unreleased!
- psychphysic 4y agoIs there anything of interest in there? I imagine not 30% is quite a lot. Surely all the juicy stuff is held back.
- floxy 4y agoLooks like we are now allowed to know that the CIA had agents in Australia but didn't want to admit it: https://www.archives.gov/files/research/jfk/releases/2022/104-10012-10080.pdf https://www.archives.gov/files/research/jfk/releases/2022/10... ...was that really so secret 60 years ago that we had to keep the memo about the memo under wraps? And still so secret that even this revelation has so many redactions?
- JosephK 4y agoGiven their influence in the toppling of Australia's democratically elected prime minister in 1975, I'm not surprised.
- psychphysic 4y agoOh wow you nailed it I reckon. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/oct/23/gough-whitlam-1975-coup-ended-australian-independence https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/oct/23/gough-... I had no idea.
- psychphysic 4y agoCurious. I believe at this point most of the world realises that the US intelligence has successfully infiltrated every nation ally or otherwise so quiet bizarre to redact. Edit: I hadn't read the reply below I think he nailed it. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/oct/23/gough-whitlam-1975-coup-ended-australian-independence https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/oct/23/gough-...
