The recent release of documents concerning the assassination of President John F. Kennedy has ushered in a new wave of speculation, and it seems conservative Twitter has taken the lead in dissecting this historical puzzle. Among the most buzzworthy elements of the stash is the saga of Gary Underhill, a journalist with intelligence ties, who purportedly had insights into the Kennedy assassination that some would rather keep hidden. It’s a tale that could rival any spy thriller, yet it has kept the intrigue alive for over six decades.
Let’s face it, an assassination involving a sitting president is bound to attract an array of theories—some outrageous, others downright plausible. And what better way to spice things up than with the CIA? Underhill, who allegedly fled Washington a day after JFK’s demise, claimed to have stumbled upon information that implicated a clandestine faction within the agency. His claims may not be entirely fresh, as they’ve been swirling in various circles since the late ‘60s, but they certainly pack a punch today, given the trove of files just released.
This document from the JFK files drop is going viral on conservative Twitter right now. But this part isn't new.
The viral part is quoting a 1967 piece in Ramparts magazine. So, the Gary Underhill stuff has been out there for a while. The full memo provides information about… https://t.co/DvLiuHF66Q pic.twitter.com/JNg7tGhWcs

What’s catching fire on social media, particularly X, is a document from the 1960s that has resurfaced, detailing Underhill’s assertion that a “small clique” within the CIA was responsible for the assassination. The bizarre circumstances surrounding Underhill’s death only add fuel to the fire—shot in the head, declared a suicide with a gun placed awkwardly against his body. It’s the kind of detail that makes skeptics—no, truth seekers—raise their eyebrows. After all, it’s not every day someone associated with such a monumental national event meets an untimely end in such a questionable manner.
The release also sheds light on another key player who’s linked to the firearms used in the assassination—Samuel Cummings, the former CIA agent turned arms broker. Cummings was essentially the guy responsible for the rifle that Lee Harvey Oswald purchased before that fateful day in Dallas. The documents reveal he was running operations tied to the CIA at the time, maintaining relationships that would inevitably draw suspicion. Why would the ultimate source of the weaponry in such a high-profile assassination be so deeply intertwined with intelligence operations? Questions, questions, and more questions abound.
Each new batch of documents doesn’t just rehash old theories; it sets off a media frenzy that fuels conspiracy debates and speculative chatter. With over a thousand files released, it is no surprise that they have revitalized public interest in one of America’s most enduring mysteries. As the conservative social media sphere buzzes with excitement and indignation alike, it’s clear this saga is far from over. The unfolding details from the National Archives promise more intrigue, and with every byte of information released, expectations soar for new revelations that could shake the narrative of history regarding the assassination of JFK.
