President Trump has decided to send the Deep State into a frenzy by declassifying files on three of America’s most significant tragic figures: John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. This bold executive order has raised eyebrows across the nation, prompting a collective exclamation of, “What took so long?” After all, it has been over half a century since those assassinations, and it’s high time the truth comes out, even if it causes a few heart palpitations among the power brokers in Washington.
By issuing this executive order, Trump has placed the National Intelligence director under the gun with a 15-day deadline to present a plan for the complete release of JFK’s files and 45 days to do the same for those involving RFK and Dr. King. One can almost picture the panic in the halls of the establishment as they scramble to figure out how to keep the lid on secrets they’ve held for so long. The humiliation must be unbearable—being outpaced by a former president who doesn’t seem to care about the bureaucracy’s hidden agendas.

It’s delightful to think that after decades of silence, buried facts might finally see the light of day. The families of those assassinated leaders, along with the rest of America, have been left scratching their heads, wondering just why it has taken the federal government this long to release what should be public records. It’s as if they believed keeping the information hidden would somehow change what happened back in the 60s. Spoiler alert: it hasn’t.
After overseeing decades of obfuscation, it’s only natural that conspiracy theories run wild. If the government isn’t forthcoming, what other explanation can there be? The American public seems to agree, with a significant majority believing there was more to the story behind these assassinations than a lone gunman. The fact that nearly 65% of people think there was a conspiracy suggests a clear disconnect between what the government claims and public perception. The more they withhold, the more fuel they throw on the fire of suspicion.
Previous attempts to dredge up these classified records have stumbled, as Joe Biden’s lackluster effort in 2021 demonstrated. While he called for a review, somehow those orders fell flat faster than a poorly executed campaign rally. The bureaucracy’s persistent protection of its “informants” in organized crime investigations smells more like a cover-up than a commitment to transparency. Was the Mob behind JFK’s demise? Or was it something more sinister lurking within government agencies? The truth is finally on the horizon, thanks to Trump, and it promises to be a wild ride. If the evidence produced doesn’t clear things up, at the very least, it will provide endless fodder for conspiracy enthusiasts and realists alike.
