Declassified CIA and FBI records expose the targeted destruction of audio tapes tied to Oswald’s movements and identity.
🎧 Sound Without a Trace
We’ve known for years that Oswald was recorded on tape:
- Phone calls from the Soviet and Cuban embassies in Mexico City
- Conversations picked up by NSA passive surveillance
- Potentially even a radio intercept from Dealey Plaza’s vicinity
But the 2025 release removes all doubt:
These tapes existed, and someone made sure they didn’t anymore.
📁 Mexico City: The Tapes That Weren’t Oswald?
A newly declassified memo dated October 11, 1963, describes:
“Voice intercept from [Cuban Embassy] subject believed to be L.H.O. does not match prior sample. Need clarification.”
Follow-up internal comms between the CIA’s Western Hemisphere Division and the Mexico City Station show concern that the voice was an impersonator.
Yet, in a memo from December 1963, the Agency reported to the Warren Commission:
“No audio recordings remain. Tapes reused.”
Reused—after a presidential assassination?
🕵️♂️ Dallas Police Radio: The Jammed Frequencies
The Dallas Police Department recorded all radio traffic on November 22.
But on the assassination channel:
- There’s a strange silence at the exact time of the shots
- Witnesses recall officers complaining about “radio trouble”
- A 2025 memo from the FBI field office reveals: “Analysis shows probable signal interference. Possibility of outside jamming should not be excluded.”
Those tapes?
Partially intact—but segments now confirmed to be missing.
🧠 NSA: The Hidden Reel
A classified NSA memo from 1964 (released in 2025) references an intercepted communication on Nov. 21 involving a known Soviet intelligence node in Mexico City:
“Reference to Dallas travel noted. Tape segment placed in review queue. No longer locatable.”
What happened to that reel?
The document lists it as “decommissioned for storage optimization” just 10 days later.
No digital backup. No transcript. No recovery.
🔥 Pattern or Coincidence?
Across all agencies, the pattern is clear:
- Audio exists
- Audio becomes inconvenient
- Audio is “lost,” “reused,” or “decommissioned”
Even the White House Communications Agency purged JFK’s call logs from the week prior to the assassination.
🔚 Conclusion: Silence Was the Strategy
In 1963, audio evidence could have confirmed:
- Where Oswald was
- Who he was talking to
- Whether it was even him on the phone
But instead of preserving the record, key agencies scrubbed it clean.
The 2025 files don’t just show what was heard.
They show how much was deliberately silenced.
