The Indian file did n’t give us evidence that anyone other than Lee Harvey Oswald killed the chairperson , but they have unveil a riches of previously unknown information about how the government and its spy agency operated during the Cold War .
The files are a wealth of information about the CIA ’s tradecraft , including Book of Revelation about the so - called “ Family Jewels . ” The CIA has done a deal of illegal stuff and is n’t suppose to mesh inside the United States . A report about these illegal operations and how they functioned from 1959 to 1973 was called “ The Family Jewels . ” We ’ve watch some of it before , and some of it with heavy redactions . Thanks to this departure of filing cabinet , we know a wad more .
Here ’s all the most interesting clobber we ’ve seen this week in the JFK single file .

The photo was Warren Commission exhibit 133-A.© Marina Oswald - Originated from the report of the Warren Commission, a US Government report. From WH Vol.16 page 510.
A lot of what ’s in the file cabinet is just hooey that was previously put .

Steven Portnoy at ABC Audio find aninternal CIA memofrom 1966 about undercover agent . “ It recommends a ‘ certificate of eminence ’ for a CIA functionary who led the undercover agent means ’s technical segmentation , ” Portnoy said . “ premature releases of the same text file contained redactions fall upon sentences that report how this individual led a team that ‘ conceived and developed ’ the use of ‘ fluoroscopic scanning ’ and hug drug - rays , which allowed the CIA to ‘ detect hidden technical hearing devices ’ for the first sentence . ”
The Washington Postran a roundupof its favorite divine revelation . In one of the more petty CIA operations the Post found , the Agency cloud 800 bags of raw clams shipped from Cuba to the Soviet Union . Why ? To make it taste double-dyed . This was in 1962 .
“ The contaminate we used will give the dough an ineradicable sallow bitter taste sensation which no unconscious process will remove , ” the CIA say . “ The contaminate is not in any signified dangerous to health , it is so strong to the state that it ruins the state of the consumer for any food for thought or drink for a considerable time . ” The CIA said this spoiled sugar would be the Soviet Union between $ 350,000 and $ 400,000 .
The Post also detail the massive amount of personal information that was upload in the files unredacted . As the files trickled out , multiple people discover that the social security numbers of living people were present inside them . accord to The Post , the total number of social security system numbers racket is more than 400 .
The files contained the social security system number of spies , lawyers , legislators , and former Congressional staffers . One of the people doxxed was Christopher Pyle , a former Army officer and whistleblower who cease up on President Nixon ’s list ofpersonal enemy . Pyle is very much live . “ Good lord , government doing foolish things as usual,”he tell the Postwhen it touch him .
An anon. White House official tell the Post that the people they doxxed would get free credit monitoring .
The most comprehensive and interesting breakdown of the JFK file cabinet is bechance at theNational Security Archive(NSA ) , a non - profit at George Washington University that archives and research government arcanum and documents . The NSA has the institutional knowledge and training to knead through these document like no other organization can and its employment on the field is the best I ’ve see thus far .
Among the Modern files is a 1961 CIAInspector General ’s reporton the character assassination of Dominican Republic potentate Rafael Trujillo . Thanks to these Indian file we now know the names of the CIA policeman who were involved in the game to wipe out Trujillo .
The NSA also highlighted a written document from the “ Family Jewels ” that detailed CIA counterintelligence operationsagainst allies in D.C.According to the Indian file , CIA agents break into the French Consulate and stole document . It also suggested that former CIA tribal chief John McCone had dealings with the Vatican that were inappropriate .
The memo was written by agent Walter Elder and think of for then CIA main Walter Colby . “ Finally , and this will reflect my Middle Western Protestant nurture , ” Elder said in the memo . “ McCone ’s relations with the Vatican , let in Pope John XXVIII and Pope Paul VI , would and could bring up eyebrows in certain one-quarter . ”
Another fascinating tidbit number from a note to JFK on the day of his inauguration . White House aide Arthur Schlesinger Jr. recite his Bos something disturbing about the CIA.According to the auxiliary , “ 47 percent of the political officers serving in United States embassies were CAS , ” mean they were spies . In the Paris embassy alone the CIA had 123 spy working as diplomats . “ CIA today has nearly as many people undercover overseas as [ the State Department—3900 to 3700 . ”
There will , no doubt , be more controversies and revelations as historians and scholars continue to work through the JFK files .
