The JFK Files
READ: https://thejfkfiles.com/feature-the-man-who-told-the-cia-to-erase-the-tape/ In the wake of President Kennedy's unaliving, the CIA found itself under intense scrutiny. Among the many pieces of evidence, a particular audio tape stood out-a recording that captured a conversation between Lee Harvey Oswald and a Soviet official.​ This tape, recorded weeks before the event, was seen as a critical piece of intelligence. However, instead of preserving it, the agency made a controversial decision.​ A high-ranking official within the CIA instructed that the tape be destroyed. The rationale? To prevent potential diplomatic fallout and to control the narrative surrounding Oswald's connections.​ This act of erasure wasn't just about a single tape-it symbolized a broader attempt to manage information and maintain agency interests during a period of national crisis.​ The destruction of the tape has since fueled numerous debates and conspiracy theories, highlighting the lengths to which institutions might go to protect their image and operations.​ In the complex tapestry of the JFK case, this missing tape serves as a poignant reminder of the secrets that may still lie hidden.
The Man Who Told The CIA To Erase The Tape
READ: https://thejfkfiles.com/the-european-propaganda-project-they-swore-never-existed/ In the aftermath of President Kennedy's unaliving, the Soviet Union was quick to respond. They publicly distanced themselves from Lee Harvey Oswald, labeling him as unstable and insisting they had no connection to him.​ Behind closed doors, however, Soviet officials were deeply concerned. They feared that the assassination might be perceived as a Soviet plot, potentially escalating tensions during the Cold War.​ To counter this, the Soviets initiated a disinformation campaign, suggesting that Oswald was part of a larger conspiracy within the United States. They aimed to deflect blame and prevent any association with the tragic event.​ This strategic move was not just about managing international perception-it was about ensuring their own survival in a highly volatile geopolitical landscape.

READ: https://thejfkfiles.com/the-soviet-tip-that-came-too-late/ Document 180-10144-10130, released in the 2025 JFK files, reveals a chilling moment from the days after President Kennedy’s assassination: a Soviet source, known to the FBI, claimed Oswald was a patsy-and that the assassination was “not the work of one man.” But the memo that recorded this warning was buried in internal files and never seriously pursued. Decades later, it reads like a red flag flapping in silence.

READ: https://thejfkfiles.com/the-kgbs-real-time-reaction-to-the-kennedy-assassination/ Document 180-10144-10240, part of the 2025 JFK file release, captures a rare and immediate reaction from Soviet officials following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Sent by an informant who met directly with Soviet embassy staff, the report reveals a genuine moment of panic inside Moscow’s diplomatic ranks. The Soviets weren’t celebrating-they were scared.

READ: https://thejfkfiles.com/the-call-to-the-soviet-embassy-that-made-langley-flinch/ In document 206-10001-10014, declassified in March 2025, the CIA confirms it was operating a “passive intercept device” on a direct phone line to the Soviet Mission to the UN in New York City. What wasn’t expected? That the call logged on November 19, 1963 - just three days before the assassination - came from someone inside the United States, speaking fluent Russian, asking about “arrangements in Dallas.”

This page, which allegedly contained references to numerical patterns and place names, was removed from his personal effects file before any official review panel-including the Warren Commission-ever saw it. The memo, labeled “SUPPLEMENTAL EVIDENCE HOLD – OSWALD EFFECTS”, describes a single sheet of unlined paper bearing the following: - Several longhand sequences of numbers (some resembling phone codes or cipher fragments) - A list of four locations-three domestic, one international (redacted) - A single name: “Schmidt” (crossed out)

READ: https://thejfkfiles.com/the-soviet-call-to-end-the-rumors-after-dallas/ Document 180-10144-10288, released as part of the 2025 JFK files, captures a fascinating diplomatic moment in the days after President John F. Kennedy’s assassination. Soviet officials urgently communicated with U.S. contacts, not to explain, but to appeal. Their message: stop the speculation. The rumors, they feared, could spiral into something far worse than confusion-war.
