Witnesses Tell House Task Force To Reinvestigate JFK Assassination Authored by Travis Gillmore via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),WASHINGTON—A panel of expert witnesses that included renowned filmmaker Oliver Stone told the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform’s Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets on April 1 that more work is needed to uncover the truth about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.Filmmaker Oliver Stone testifies before the House Oversight Committee at the U.S. Capitol on April 1, 2025. Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images“Let us see past the lies, and let us hear what happened,” Stone told the task force. “The truth is the greatest treasure a Socratic soul can attain in this lifetime.”The three-time Academy Award-winning director released a movie titled “JFK” in 1991 and followed that with a documentary in 2021 called “JFK: Revisited.”He questioned the role played by the CIA, saying it “operates arrogantly outside our laws.”A litany of motives for removing Kennedy existed at the time, including those related to expanding the Vietnam War and securing power for the military-industrial complex, among others, according to the director.“He was changing things, changing too many things too fast. It was a major problem for some, and he was going to win a second election,” Stone told The Epoch Times after the hearing. “And he had a brother, a younger brother, and there was fear of a dynasty. They were terrified of that possibility.”Expressing doubt about the Warren Commission’s findings in 1964, which fingered Lee Harvey Oswald as a lone gunman responsible for Kennedy’s murder, he asked the committee to reopen an investigation into the incident.Some lawmakers on the dais acknowledged a need to follow up on questions regarding the chain of custody of evidence and discrepancies in testimony and records related to the crime, saying the lack of transparency over nearly 62 years has eroded trust in government.“For over six decades, questions have lingered, shrouded in secrecy and speculation,” task force chairwoman Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) said during opening remarks. “What has been alarming to me is the amount of stonewalling the federal government put forth to hide this information from the American people.”Chairwoman Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) questions witnesses at the House Oversight Committee for Government Reform Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets hearing regarding the JFK files at the U.S. Capitol on April 1, 2025. Travis Gillmore/The Epoch TimesShe said revelations in the approximately 80,000 pages of documents that were declassified by President Donald Trump on March 18 are “staggering” and raise “serious concerns.”Task force members in both parties denounced what they called overclassification and called for increased transparency from the government.“This is a known fact that we all should agree on. Federal agencies, obviously, have in the past obscured information and key facts from the public for too long,” Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) said during the hearing. “The CIA and [FBI], especially in this period of time, were deeply flawed institutions.”Others on the panel, however, including Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), used their allotted time to criticize the sitting president for what she described as a rush to release classified material that could result in the release of private information, such as Social Security numbers.One witness called to testify, Jefferson Morley—an author and independent journalist who has researched the JFK assassination for 30 years and told the commission that he is a “liberal Democrat”—dismissed the line of inquiry.Author and researcher Jefferson Morley testifies to the House Oversight Committee for Government Reform task force on the declassification of federal secrets during a hearing regarding the JFK files at the Capitol in Washington on April 1, 2025. Travis Gillmore/The Epoch TimesHe said some of the new files show that James Angleton, longtime counterintelligence chief for the CIA; Richard Helms, who was the director of the CIA; and agency liaison to Congress George Joannides all lied under oath about the killing.“Obstructing Congress cannot be considered evidence of incompetence,” Morley said. “Three false statements by top CIA officers about Kennedy’s accused killer, that is a pattern. It’s a pattern of misconduct; it’s a pattern of malfeasance.”Author James DiEugenio highlighted a document written by Arthur Schlesinger—special assistant to Kennedy—and long redacted by the CIA, as of paramount importance in understanding the context of the murder, as it reveals Kennedy’s intention to reorganize the agency and minimize its authority.He called for a new investigation, warning that “secrecy is the enemy of democracy.”“I really hope that people will learn from the past and learn from experiences,” DiEugenio told the task force. “The CIA and the FBI should not have the last word on JFK’s murder. You should.” Tyler DurdenFri, 04/04/2025 - 22:35

U.S. Rolls Out New Romantic Restrictions For Gov't Workers In China To Prevent CCP Honey Traps Sexual entrapment—often called "honey trapping"— has been a common espionage tactic, and intelligence agencies worldwide use it to extract information, compromise targets, and/or gain leverage through blackmail. New policies are being rolled out in Washington that prevent U.S. government personnel with security clearances in China from having romantic or sexual relationships with Chinese citizens, according to an AP report. This measure prevents Chinese Communist Party spies from honey-trapping U.S. diplomats. The ban also extends to family members and contractors. Here's more from AP News:Four people with direct knowledge of the matter told the AP about the policy, which was put into effect by departing U.S. Ambassador Nicholas Burns in January shortly before he left China. The people would speak only on condition of anonymity to discuss details of a confidential new directive.Though some U.S. agencies already had strict rules on such relationships, a blanket "non-fraternization" policy, as it is known, has been unheard of publicly since the Cold War. It's not uncommon for American diplomats in other countries to date locals and even marry them.The ban underscores the increasing threat Washington sees from honeypotting CCP spies targeting U.S. government diplomats and workers. Both countries remain locked in a global superpower race spanning military, AI, trade, and space. President Trump's "Liberation Day" of new tariffs on China has exacerbated tensions. Some risks of modern honey traps include: Cyber-espionage: fake personas on dating apps and social media Hidden surveillance: hotel room setups to record compromising situations Deep covers: long-term embedded agents posing as business partners or romantic interestsLet's rewind history back to 2009. Britain's MI5 circulated a 14-page intelligence briefing titled "The Threat from Chinese Espionage" to hundreds of banks, corporations, and financial institutions. The document warned about a Chinese intelligence campaign to blackmail Western businesspeople through sexual entanglements. It explicitly warned that Chinese spies were seeking to establish "long-term relationships" and had been known to "exploit vulnerabilities such as sexual relationships... to pressure individuals into cooperating with them."How can anyone forget U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) and his suspected relations with the Chinese spy "Fang Fang"?🚨 #BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Eric Swalwell PANICS when I ask about his Chinese spy girlfriend Fang Fang, and whether that’s a bigger “national security threat” than Elon MuskI sat next to a drunk Swalwell at dinner for 90 minutes.

Your Discomfort Means It's Working Submitted by QTR's Fringe FinanceIt has been one whole day since President Trump implemented his tariff agenda.With the amount of squirming and outright panic in the news media, markets, and on social media, you’d think we were 50 years into a 100-year bout of famine, plague, depression, and pestilence.Let’s all just gather our heads for a second.At a very basic psychological level, people are opposed to change. It doesn’t matter whether it’s changing their cable provider or taking a detour in traffic. Extrapolating from this, people are really opposed to bigger, more consequential change.Extrapolating from this, in the world of finance, I have consistently argued that market participants have been falsely conditioned by our monetary and fiscal policy in this country to always expect comfort and never expect interruptions from the market moving higher, or the quality of life status quo that we believe we are entitled to here in the United States to suffer.This concept was the basis for my article explaining why I thought the next market crash would “break the brains” of market participants.Now let’s zoom out and think about what President Trump is trying to accomplish with his tariff agenda. He is essentially saying that the status quo in the United States isn’t working and large changes need to be implemented—changes that will shock the global economy—to remedy the issue.“Who is the status quo not working for?” some of you will ask me from your Porsche, driving down PCH, or from your desk overseeing your millions in the market.If I had to venture a guess, I’d say it’s not working for people in towns like this:Or people whose grandparents used to work at places like this:And the status quo definitely isn’t working for the bottom 50% of Americans here, represented by the yellow section that is so small you have to zoom in to see it:Billionaires (other than Trump, it seems) have a difficult time answering questions like “What happens when we run out of middle American towns to gut?” and “How has your quality of life been negatively impacted by monetary policy over the last 20 years?”The reason they can’t answer these questions is because they don’t have any idea. Monetary policy helps them accrue more wealth and power, and they don’t live in middle America. But if you take a trip to a place like Flint, Michigan, or Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, the answers to these questions become a lot clearer.Abandoned Bethlehem Steel plantThe direction the country was heading in monetarily and fiscally was simply unsustainable. Deficits too big. Debt skyrocketing against GDP. Wealth gap accelerating. Drug and alcohol addiction ravaging cities.We were walking a path that decimated the lives and the purchasing power of the people who need it most and took American jobs away from people who needed them the most.Worse off, it made the United States dependent on adversaries like China to simply go about our day-to-day. When global supply chains were cut off during COVID, it was obvious that our quality of life was 100% dependent on imported goods—everything from consumer electronics to clothing to the ingredients used in pharmaceuticals.Recalibrating the country away from being dependent on adversarial nations is not a simple and inconsequential thing to do. On the contrary, it’s about as consequential of a decision as we can possibly make, alongside of trying to get our fiscal house as a nation in order.Consequential means change. Change means discomfort. Discomfort requires courage. On a positive note, to me, it seems like the first time our government has taken more than a 10-day outlook on the future of our nation.Time and time again, I have complained on this blog that monetary and fiscal policy in this country are run like an infant in a candy store. We do whatever we want, spend whatever we want, throw a tantrum when we don’t get what we want, barely think about the decisions we make, and sacrifice and mortgage anything not nailed down to ensure that our quality of life as it exists today can continue for just one more day (speaking of which, have we audited Fort Knox yet?).The nearsightedness of our policymaking in this country has been breathtaking.Trump’s tariff agenda scratches to a halt the record of complacency that’s been playing over the sound system of the United States for the last 50 years. It sends a signal to the world that things aren’t OK the way they’re going and, more importantly, it makes the decision to proactively arrest the problem in its tracks before it reaches a terminus on its own. If the country got into such a precarious position that we had to react to the problem instead of being proactive, we would lose any and all leverage we’d have to make deals to try to recalibrate our position.🔥 50% OFF FOR LIFE: Using this coupon entitles you to 50% off an annual subscription to Fringe Finance for life: Get 50% off foreverBeing proactive about the issue puts us in a position of strength. Yes, even when your precious Apple stock is down 7%.There are going to be some consequences. Trump knew that in advance. Prices may go up near term, supply of goods may dwindle going forward, and we may go into a recession. But recessions can also create investment opportunities for people that have been priced out of the market for the last 20 years.And the people bearing the brunt of the negatives of this policy are the same people who disproportionately benefited from the previous policies. The top 1% who got infinitely richer thanks to quantitative easing and now have to go through the horrifying exercise of watching their multimillion-dollar portfolio fall a little bit are going to take larger dollar and quality-of-life hits from this policy than the lower middle class, who likely have very little invested and who probably won’t even notice a difference in quality of life because of the squalor they are already living in.And as I said at the beginning of the article, it has been one day. One goddamn day.The shock of this event will eventually begin to wear off, and we will achieve a new level of homeostasis—just maybe with financial asset prices lower. Future volatility may come from a cascading deleveraging in the financial world, and I don’t see this as a negative either. Does Fartcoin still have a bid? Yes? Well then, all the excess that should have been carried out has not been carried out yet. And who knows—maybe at about the same time the lower and middle class starts to get their financial footing, stocks will actually return to somewhat of a reasonable valuation so that John Q. Public can get a chance to take a bite of the apple.And lest we forget, before you piss yourself any further, many of these consequences are based on the assumption that these tariffs are going to be in place for a long time. Given how quickly Trump has shifted his stance on trade with other countries after negotiating, I don’t really find it probable these tariffs will stay in place for years, as many people are acting like.Some people want to argue that the policy isn’t a net positive—it’s just generating other trade-offs that “aren’t worth it”. Even if on net balance that’s the case, I still think it’s worth it as a method of breaking the chains of the directional status quo in this country. If we have to rearrange the furniture to bring manufacturing back to the U.S. and give people in middle America something to do other than abuse fentanyl smuggled into our country, I’m for it. Bring manufacturing, not drugs, to Kensington. I’m ready to buy American and I know I’m not alone.This sea change reverses the gears of a machine that has been in motion for decades. The discomfort in the market and in media means that it’s working. And the idea that we’re doing it proactively is a positive, not a negative.The very same discomfort you feel that makes you want to cave in and just say tariffs are a bad idea is the same discomfort many foreign leaders will feel. Trump won’t be the only leader under pressure to try to resolve this issue, and so it then becomes a test of wills.America was a country founded by rugged individuals, but there’s nothing rugged about throwing a fit because your NASDAQ investment, up 150% over the last 5 years, is down 5% today — especially when the “problem” likely will be resolved to some degree within a matter of weeks, if not months.For the (strongly) opposing view, which I always suggest you consider, you can read this piece by my friend Anton Wahlman, with whom I usually agree on most things finance and politics.QTR’s Disclaimer: Please read my full legal disclaimer on my About page here.
