Key Takeaways:
• November 22 marks another anniversary of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination.
• From Facebook to TikTok to cable news and YouTube, JFK conspiracy theories are exploding—and most are wrong.
• The hard evidence still points to one man: Lee Harvey Oswald, a self-proclaimed Marxist revolutionary.
• Newly released JFK files add more detail—but do not prove a CIA, FBI, or foreign-government plot.
• A forgotten Southern radio debate recording of Oswald himself reveals his own motives in his own words.
• Conspiracy theories are emotional, persuasive and entertaining.
But the truth is simpler, more sobering, and more important for Americans to understand.
Sixty-two years ago, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
Every November 22, the arguments flare up again.
From Facebook to TikTok… From Fox and MSNBC to Reddit and YouTube…
Everyone has an opinion about the JFK assassination.
And most of them are wrong.
For decades, conspiracy theories have captured people’s emotions.
They sound exciting. They feel dramatic. They sound true.
But when you look at the actual evidence… and when you listen to Lee Harvey Oswald in his own words…
A very different picture appears.
The media has exploded with new theories, fresh speculation, and released documents about one of the most shocking events in American history…
The assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
President Donald Trump recently ordered the release of tens of thousands of long-hidden documents—something that should’ve been done decades ago.
And with that release came more chaos, more conspiracies, and more confusion.
If you’re like me, you’ve been hearing theories about this for most of your life from movies, teachers and conspiracy books. CIA. FBI. LBJ. The Mafia. Zionists. Take your pick.
But what does the newly unredacted evidence actually say?
Here are seven assassination facts every American must know…
Assassination Fact #1: Trump Released the Files—And They Tell a Disturbing Truth
Thousands of pages were unsealed, many of which had been blacked out for decades.
What’s in them?
Phone taps. Surveillance records. CIA and FBI memos. Interrogation notes. Reports from Mexico, New Orleans, and Dallas.
What’s not in them? Evidence of a coordinated plot.
Common sense—and a cold read of the documents—leads to one clear conclusion: Oswald was the lone assassin.
Yet the media, again, cherry-picks data to fuel the fire of conspiracy.
Assassination Fact #2: Who Was Lee Harvey Oswald—And Why the Forgotten Radio Debate Changes Everything
Oswald was a deeply troubled, radicalized Socialist/Marxist.
When I was in high school, someone gave me a record—yes, an actual vinyl album—of a radio debate featuring Lee Harvey Oswald. It was powerful. I never forgot it. I still have it.
But the media ignored it. Hollywood ignored it. The so-called experts ignored it. Why?
Because in it, Oswald defends Socialism/Marxism and his pro-Castro beliefs. It’s 20 minutes of chilling clarity into his mind—and his motives.
Here are just a few facts about Oswald:
- He was 24 years old when he shot President Kennedy.
- 45 minutes later, he shot and killed Dallas police officer J.D. Tippit.
- He was arrested in a movie theater after trying to shoot another officer.
- He was an expert sharpshooter trained as a sniper.
- In 1959, he defected to the Soviet Union and tried to renounce his U.S. citizenship.
- He returned to the U.S. in 1961—after two years in Communist Russia.
- He led the “Fair Play for Cuba” Committee—a pro-Castro group.
- He secretly met with Cuban and Soviet personnel in Mexico City before the assassination.
- He went on a New Orleans radio program in August 1963 to defend socialism, communism and communists.
That debate—recorded August 21, 1963 with Cuban exile Carlos Bringuier—is crucial. Oswald comes across as a committed Marxist, hostile to America, and sympathetic to Cuba.
Assassination Fact #3: The Suppressed Audio No One Wants You to Hear
The media refused to highlight the Oswald debate.
Why?
Because it suggests something most liberals didn’t want to admit—then or now: that a Socialist/Marxist, backed (or at least inspired) by Cuba or the Soviet Union, could have murdered a U.S. president.
You hear his tone. His anger. His arrogance.
You hear a man obsessed with communism, hostile to American policy, and proud of his radicalism.
That one recording, you can hear yourself. It shatters many conspiracy myths. You can listen to the debate by clicking HERE.
The audio shows Oswald was no puppet of the CIA. He was an ideologically-driven extremist. And this recording offers a direct, chilling look into that mindset.
Assassination Fact #4: The Return of the Conspiracy Circus
Despite the document releases, new conspiracy theories are everywhere—Fox News, YouTube, TikTok.
Some claim the CIA was behind it. Others blame Lyndon Johnson or Israel. Some even blame conservatives.
But here’s the problem: there’s no proof.
Take Jesse Watters, for example. He recently speculated about CIA involvement. Why? Because there were “CIA documents.” But not one document showed coordination or intent. Just bureaucracy.
Assassination Fact #5: The CIA’s Role—Incompetence, Not Conspiracy
Yes, the CIA had a file on Oswald before the assassination.
It was thin—barely anything.
After the assassination? Their Oswald file ballooned to 3,000+ pages.
But nothing in that data suggests the CIA orchestrated anything. What it shows is a slow-moving, bloated, politically left and biased agency—much like what we’ve seen in recent years.
Let’s be honest: the CIA’s failure wasn’t a cover-up. It was incompetence.
Assassination Fact #6: The Big Lie – Spreading Everywhere
Movies like “JFK” by Oliver Stone have embedded the idea of a “right wing conspiracy” into the public mind.
They sell well. They entertain. But they don’t prove anything. Like the Russian collusion hoax and countless other media-fueled myths, JFK conspiracy theories sound dramatic—but they fall apart under scrutiny.
Independent experts, over decades, keep coming back to the same conclusion:
The physical evidence fits Oswald—
Not a phantom assassin on the grassy knoll.
Assassination Fact #7: The Conclusion Nobody Wants to Admit
The truth is painfully simple.
Lee Harvey Oswald, motivated by Socialist/Marxist ideology, hostile to American values and a support of Cuba, pulled the trigger.
Did he act with Cuban or Soviet support? Maybe. But he didn’t need a handler to pull the trigger. He needed motive—and he had one.
Don’t take my word for it—hear it from Oswald himself:

This isn’t just history. It’s a warning to follow the facts, not conspiracy theories. Truth doesn’t always come from the loudest voices—or the most entertaining theories.
It comes from the evidence. And the evidence points to one man. One rifle. One motive.
FAQs:
Q: Didn’t a government committee once say there was “probably” a conspiracy?
A: Yes. A later congressional committee used that phrase—but could not identify who supposedly conspired. Later analysis raised serious doubts about the acoustic evidence they relied on.
Q: Don’t the new JFK files prove CIA involvement?
A: No. They expose intelligence failures and cover-ups of embarrassment, but still no hard proof of a CIA plot to kill Kennedy.
Q: Are you saying we should never question government narratives?
A: No. We should question everything—but we should follow evidence, not emotion. In this case, the evidence keeps pointing back to Oswald acting alone.
