Signal Leaks & JFK Files: What’s Happening Behind Closed Doors
Manage episode 473444033 series 3291330
Tens of thousands of new and newly-unredacted documents related to the killings of JFK Jr, his brother RFK and Martin Luther King Jr have been released over the past week. While historians and journalists are still pouring over the files to see what new historical information can be learned from them it’s becoming clear that there’s no smoking gun - no document changing the official narrative of the JFK assassination. But we are learning more about CIA tradecraft as well as a number of clandestine US operations against Cuba and the USSR.
We also discuss Monday’s revelation that the Trump White House was using Signal group chats with disappearing messages to plan the March 15 bombing of Yemen.
Finally, Rachel speaks about a new documentary film premiering this week at the Angelika Theater in New York about the student movement against the genocide in Gaza - The Encampments.
