In a stunning report Thursday, Fox News star Tucker Carlson claimed to have uncovered an inside source deep within the government that has evidence that the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency was involved in former President John F. Kennedy’s assassination in 1963.
The shocking report came just hours after President Joe Biden’s administration announced that the White House was again postponing the release of the entirety of the U.S. government’s JFK assassination files.
The administration said 3 percent of the government’s files will remain classified because they could cause “identifiable harm to the military defense, intelligence operations, law enforcement, or the conduct of foreign relations that is of such gravity that it outweighs the public interest in disclosure.”
Biden ordered these records to remain hidden from the public until at least June 30, 2023.
“Thousands of pages of documents after nearly 60 years, after the death of every single person involved, but we still can’t see them,” Carlson said Thursday.
“Today, we decided to find out. We spoke to someone who had access to these still-hidden CIA documents, a person who is deeply familiar with what they contained,” the Fox News star claimed. “We asked this person directly: did the CIA have a hand in the murder of John F. Kennedy, an American president?”
“Here’s the reply, we received, verbatim. Quote: ‘The answer is, ‘yes.’ I believe they were involved. It’s a whole different country from what we thought it was. It’s all fake,’” he said.
“It’s hard to imagine a more jarring response,” Carlson said. “Again, this is not a quote ‘conspiracy theorist’ that we spoke to. Not even close.”
“This is someone with direct knowledge of the information that once again is being withheld from the American public,” Carlson continued. “And the answer we received was unequivocal: ‘Yes the CIA was involved in the assassination of the president.’”
“Yes, I believe the CIA was involved in the Kennedy assassination,” Carlson’s report quoted the source as saying.
Carlson said that no matter what one believes about the Kennedy assassination and alleged cover-up, the implication that U.S. government forces operate outside of democratic control.
These forces “constitute a government within a government mocking, by their very existence, the idea of democracy,” he said. “As cynical as we have become after 30 years of watching government officials ignore the voters who employ them, we were shocked to learn this. It’s not acceptable.”
“Americans have trusted their government less with every passing year since the killing of John F. Kennedy. Maybe this is why?” Carlson said. “And people have known this for a long time. The people who knew would include every director of the CIA since November of 1963. And that list would include Obama’s CIA director, John Brennan, one of the most sinister and dishonest figures in American life.”
“That list would also include, we are sad to say, our friend Mike Pompeo, who ran the CIA in the last administration,” Carlson concluded. “Mike Pompeo knew this.”
“We asked Pompeo to join us tonight and, though he rarely turns down a televised interview, he refused to come,” he said. “We hope he will reconsider.”
