Head of JFK assassination files task force: ‘I believe there were two shooters’

From LifeSiteNews
By Frank Wright
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, head of the new House Oversight Task Force on Declassification, called the official narrative of the JFK assassination ‘faulty’ and said she believes ‘there were two shooters.’
On January 23 President Donald Trump signed an executive order to declassify and release all records of the assassinations of former President John F. Kennedy, former U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, and Dr. Martin Luther King.
Fulfilling a promise initially made in his first presidential term and repeated ahead of his second, Donald Trump has issued an order “providing Americans the truth after six decades of secrecy.”
Trump’s interim Director of National Intelligence Lora Shiao was ordered to “present a plan within 15 days for the full and complete release of all John F. Kennedy assassination records…”
Following this directive, the FBI has revealed the existence of thousands more “previously unknown” files relating to the JFK assassination. As Fox News reported on February 10:
“The FBI conducted a new records search pursuant to President Trump’s Executive Order issued on January 23, 2025, regarding the declassification of the assassination files of JFK, RFK, and MLK. The search resulted in approximately 2400 newly inventoried and digitized records that were previously unrecognized as related to the JFK assassination case file…”
Trump’s nominees on a ‘glide path’
In a Wednesday Senate vote Tulsi Gabbard is expected to be confirmed as permanent National Intelligence chief – described as the principal advisor to the president. She will oversee this process when confirmed.
Trump also seeks to install Kash Patel as the new head of the FBI. Patel has promised to publish the client list of notorious Mossad-linked sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein on the first day of his tenure.
In addition, he intends to publish documents detailing “Russiagate” and all information relating to the origins of COVID-19.
Democrats have alleged Patel is “secretly overseeing a purge of the FBI” before his appointment has been confirmed. Senator Adam Schiff is now charging Patel with perjury.
Could this be related to what Patel says about Adam Schiff here?
“Adam Schiff is the single most responsible person for spreading disinformation on Russiagate: saying he had evidence Donald Trump colluded with Russia.”
Patel is also expected to be approved by the Republican-majority senate, with the process leading to his Thursday confirmation hearing described as a “glide path” by the scandal-hit outlet Politico. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. also expects to be appointed Health and Human Services chief following his nomination vote.
New 9/11, assassination, COVID investgations
In an additional move, the Trump administration has seen the creation of the House Oversight Task Force on Declassification.
Announced by its new leader, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, the task force will not be restricted to the oversight of publishing formerly classified files.
Luna said it would be conducting new investigations into 9/11, the JFK, RFK, and MLK assassinations, as well as the “origins of COVID-19,” the Jeffrey Epstein case, and unidentified aerial and subsea objects known as “UAPs” and “USOs.”
As independent journalist Michael Shellenberger pointed out in the tweet above, “For decades, presidents said they told us everything they could about Covid, JFK, Epstein, UAPs and more. They lied.”
The first hearing is “set for March,” Luna announced, describing her task force as a “beacon of bipartisanship” with the participation of both Republicans and Democrats.
A break with the past
Luna stressed that this was a complete break with the past, saying this will not be “a task force that makes bold promises only to fade into irrelevance or send strongly worded letters.”
“This will be a relentless pursuit of truth and transparency and will not stop until the American people have the answers they deserve.”
Luna presented a complete shift in how the U.S. government sees its relation to governed.
“We have been treated like children for too long and kept in the dark by those we elected to serve us.”
Luna’s remarks may serve as a statement of the Trump administration’s vision for restoring America. She argued, “If we are to endure as a nation, we must restore trust – trust through transparency.”
Marking a shift from the manufacture of public opinion by the state sponsorship of news and mass culture, Luna continued, “The American people must be trusted to think for themselves, to form their own judgments from the truth they are entitled to know.”
Official verdict on JFK ‘faulty’: ‘I believe there were two shooters’
Luna also announced Tuesday night that “based on what I have seen so far” of the unreleased JFK files, “I believe there were two shooters” involved in the assassination of President Kennedy. Luna described the official verdict of a “single bullet theory” as “faulty.”
The revelations from the new JFK files have already begun. What they and the other disclosures contain will be released to inform a new vision of the national interest. The Trump administration is not only saying it is keeping its promises to Americans, but also announcing it wishes to govern in the open and will trust the public to make its own mind up, in place of manufacturing public opinion for political ends.

Mike Benz Exposes How USAID Funds State-Sponsored Hit Pieces to Crush Political Opponents

USAID wasn’t just funding biased reporting. They were actively reshaping foreign governments.
Former State Department official Mike Benz, an expert on cyber policy, censorship, and information warfare, appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience Wednesday and dropped jaw-dropping insights into USAID’s absurd abuse of US tax dollars.
According to Benz, USAID has been funneling taxpayer dollars into so-called investigative journalism, but the real goal isn’t transparency—it is control.
“Everything they do is a hit piece about an instance of corruption that can be used by prosecutors in the area to arrest the political opponents of the State Department,” Benz explained.
USAID’s program, officially called Strengthening Transparency and Accountability through Investigative Reporting, claims to promote a free press. But Benz revealed its true purpose is to ruin people’s lives and go after political targets in order to change the policies of foreign governments from the inside.

For a mere investment of $20 million, USAID’s state-sponsored hit pieces were able to:
• Generate at least $4.5 billion in fines against targets of these hit pieces.
• Influence over 548 policy changes across foreign governments and private sectors.
USAID justified these programs under the term “capacity building,” which Benz warned is a red flag. “Now, this is the phrase everybody has to know. Capacity building is what this is all built under. That means pumping up the Blob’s assets,” he explained.
And USAID wasn’t just funding biased reporting. They were actively reshaping foreign governments. Benz revealed 548 policy changes resulted from these state-sponsored media attacks, which he suggested were for the “furtherance of USAID’s or the State Department’s foreign policy goals.”
Think about what that means. The U.S. government is secretly funding media outlets to push narratives, destroy political opponents, and manipulate foreign policy, all under the guise of investigative journalism.
The question is – if they’re doing this overseas, how much of it is happening at home?

Tulsi Gabbard confirmed as Trump’s Director of National Intelligence
![](https://www.todayville.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/tvrd-tulsi-gabbard-director-national-intelligence-image-2025-02-12.jpg)
Quick Hit:
The Senate on Wednesday confirmed former Democrat congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard as President Donald Trump’s director of national intelligence. The vote, which passed mostly along party lines at 52-48, followed weeks of intense debate over Gabbard’s past views on intelligence operations and foreign policy.

Key Details:
-
Gabbard, who represented Hawaii in Congress for eight years, faced sharp scrutiny from both parties over her past comments on U.S. adversaries, surveillance programs, and her stance on Edward Snowden.
-
Senate Intelligence Committee Republicans approved her nomination last week after she provided follow-up answers addressing their concerns. Some GOP lawmakers had initially resisted, citing worries over her foreign policy positions.
-
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer opposed the confirmation, claiming that Gabbard “wouldn’t receive more than ten votes” if Republicans were allowed to vote in secret.
Diving Deeper:
Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democrat congresswoman from Hawaii turned Trump ally, was confirmed Wednesday as the director of national intelligence following a 52-48 Senate vote that split mostly along party lines. Former GOP Senate Leader Mitch McConnell was the only Republican to join all Democrats in voting against Gabbard, and the confirmation marks one of President Trump’s most controversial intelligence appointments, with Gabbard facing intense questioning over her positions on classified intelligence and foreign adversaries.
Gabbard’s past remarks and actions drew bipartisan concern, particularly her defense of Edward Snowden, her prior skepticism of U.S. intelligence assessments on Syria’s Bashar al-Assad, and her opposition to surveillance authorities like Section 702. Senate Intelligence Committee Republicans had initially hesitated on her nomination, but they ultimately backed her after she responded to follow-up inquiries about her positions on national security.
Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, the ranking Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, claimed that Gabbard was unfit for the role, accusing her of “publicly defending Snowden after he compromised our nation’s most sensitive collection sources and methods.” Warner also criticized her past statements blaming the U.S. and NATO for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and her meeting with a controversial Syrian cleric.
During confirmation hearings, Gabbard refuted accusations that she harbored sympathies for foreign adversaries, calling the allegations “offensive.” She defended her record on national security and insisted that while she disagreed with Snowden’s actions, her proposed intelligence reforms would prevent similar leaks in the future.
Senate Republicans ultimately rallied behind Gabbard, with Senate Republican Whip John Barrasso pushing back on accusations that she had echoed Kremlin propaganda. He pointed to her past support for sanctions against Russia and Iran, as well as her backing of military aid to Ukraine after Russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea.
Schumer and other Senate Democrats urged Republicans to resist pressure from the Trump administration, claiming that GOP lawmakers were putting politics ahead of national security. Despite these objections, the confirmation moved forward, concluding a bitterly divided debate over Gabbard’s appointment to lead the nation’s intelligence operations.
