JFK’s grave

Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. This is Friday, the 28^th day of March in the year of our Lord 2025. I will be talking about the recently declassified and released 80,000 files, so far, concerning the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Those files remind us of the immense power of the deep state and how its members tend to close ranks when threatened because they derive great wealth and power from their membership.

The JFK assassination

I remember that day quite clearly because I was 15 years old and at a high school track meet when the news told the world what supposedly happened. The coach told us the track meet was over and school was closed for the day. It was scary and a sobering time for a 15-year-old trying to make sense of the world anyway, but this Report is not a rehash of the assassination but instead it is a look at what it all means for the world and how its aftermath still resonates in the world today.

That day was an eye opener for some people but for most of us it has taken decades for our eyes to fully open. Polls taken throughout the 1950’s revealed that over 70% of Americans trusted the government and believed that it would do what is right “most of the time.” A follow up question showed that most of the time meant “just about always.” November 22, 1963, began a long decline in the public’s confidence that is greater today than at any other time in our history. That former trust in government is gone and today’s polls show only about 22% still trust in government.

Questions demanding answers

Was the assassin an individual or group of individuals with some ideological difference of opinion that drove the action? Or was the murder simply an effort to grab the reigns of power? Which of the two explains JFK’s murder? Was Lee Harvey Oswald the assassin? If so, was he a solo actor or part of a greater conspiracy?

We have learned that the government can’t be trusted to tell us the truth about anything and it and its representatives seem quite often to have sinister motives. Those motives, whatever they may be, sometimes prove fatal for those little people, sometimes referred to as the masses. Those people are viewed by the government and its representatives as sheep to be sheared, or as fodder for the cannons of whatever stupid, senseless war government chooses for us the next time. So, if they know we no longer trust them what can they do to ensure support and loyalty from the masses.

External enemies an essential agreement of power retention

Philosophers over the centuries have written of the formula governments use to keep us motivated and committed to their next scheme. The simplest part of the formula is to make sure there is always a sinister bad guy, or government of bad guys that threaten us and our way of life. If we don’t go abroad and fight the bad guys on their home turf we will have to fight them here on our own turf sooner or later. There is never enough time to analyze whether the bad guy is truly bad and truly means to do us harm before the bombing, or other means of war are launched. The end result is usually a lot of dead people and a lot of money added to our future as debt.

JFK’s death and the cover-up of the truth behind it explains what the government and its spokespeople have come to call conspiracy theories. There are few things as bad as wearing that label because it means you are not evil like a racist, just naïve and probably stupid because you don’t believe the government’s obvious lies.  I will admit that it is far easier to just accept whatever cockamamy explanation the government gives us for its crimes.

The modern JFK – the COVID policy

For example, resisting the government’s COVID policy was very difficult although healthier in the long run. The COVID pandemic was the worst government psyop in our history. Nobel laureates and scientists of the world lined up literally by the hundreds to tell us that this pandemic was extremely dangerous and there was no way to stop it except the vaccine. We know without any doubt now that it was all just a massive global psyop orchestrated by and conducted by the governments of the world and their sycophants in the various bureaucracies.

Even the New York Times, although a day late and a dollar short, now admits that denial of the lab leak theory was wrong and a lie from the beginning. Personally, it seems to me that the lab leak theory is also wrong because the evidence points to a purposeful plot to release the virus so the bioweapon often referred to as a vaccine could be forced on the world’s people.

No decency

We can no longer rely on the decency of those in government when deciding whether or not to believe government because they usually have no decency. Their lack of decency and their utter lack of decorum are no longer shocks. Their foul language and lack of decorum on the very floor of the House and Senate have become commonplace. This is sometimes rather frightening as one stops to consider what kind of people voted to elect such people. I try not to dwell on it for long because when I do the future looks dark indeed.

Skepticism has its problems as well, however, and the costs of never fully buying in should be considered because it will put you at odds with the human tendency to take sides and to take comfort in the side you are on. If you talk to people in your social circle, friends, people at work, people at church, etc. you will find many people who have lost friends or family members because of political differences. When people are afraid, they take sides. This gives them some reassurance of certainty and some comfort that the authority they follow is most likely the correct one. So any other view is just plainly evil.

What lies buried with JFK

Using independent analysis is forbidden in the political world because it makes you a denier and may place you outside the comfort zone of approved opinion. In addition, using research and analysis, though very possible in today’s internet world, is emotionally difficult and authority is very hostile to it. For example, the censorship of any dissenting opinion concerning COVID and the vaccine on social media is now admitted even by the social media company owners. Just keep people in the dark by censoring their search for the truth and they will be deprived of useful information. That would include potentially lifesaving information such as effective COVID treatments other than the accepted vaccine.

Let me illustrate my point with a quote from Richard Fernandez of the Belmont Club.

Was there really gold in Fort Knox, was Biden truly competent? Our heads started to spin. Dallas dug the grave. Wuhan filled it in. For better or worse, complete certainty is dead in the political domain. What we have now are expectations, probability distributions, and a posteriori Monday morning quarterbacking. We are back in the world before the canon. The good news is that we’ve been here before.

What died on the day JFK was shot in Dallas was the idea that the public could always rely on authority to tell them the truth. It’s a lonely feeling to stand by its graveside and realize that to a greater or lessor extent, we will have to figure it out by ourselves.

I will once again assume a little poetic license and try to interpret Mr. Fernandez’s  comment. We can no longer rely on the government to tell us the truth about anything. In fact, trust in government was buried in JFK’s grave. Whenever the government or its spokespeople give us an explanation of whatever disaster the government has caused this time that narrows our search for truth a little bit because we know that whatever we have been told by government is a lie, therefore at least that explanation is eliminated.

Never have more people had access

The difficulty lies in the fact that never before in history have ordinary people had more access to more information than right now. We are told that there is more computing power in the small smartphone we hold in our hands than in the computers NASA used to send Apollo 11 to the moon. In other words, we all have the capability to find out for ourselves if we really want to know. The trouble is that smartphones have replaced education and they are enabling public education’s destruction. Has public education become nothing but government propaganda or even brainwashing for generations of children?

The failings of the Department of Education

I’m not talking about the pipeline that sends kids of a certain class to the Ivy Leagues. I’m talking about the untold millions whose kids go to public school and who want desperately for those kids to have a better life than their parents had and better than the life that is clearly visible ahead for them. When the Department of Education was started by President Carter it had the laudatory goals of funding education and making it available to all regardless of means.

It has instead ruined education or at least contributed greatly to its downfall by placing it all in the hands of the federal government, which I just said could not be trusted to tell the truth about anything. All it has really accomplished is to act as a go between feeding money into the system to support teacher unions so they will vote for their own largesse and ignoring the needs of the kids.

Expensive education – for what?

For example, the average money spent on education per child per year in the United States is $17,000, the highest in the world. In some locations which have the most powerful politicians it is much higher. In New York City the figure is $33,000 per year. The money spent per child does not seem to be accomplishing anything for the kids. Nationwide, upon graduation 70% of our kids are not proficient in reading and more than 70% are not proficient in math. In other words, they are high school graduates but they can’t read or count or do basic math. The good news is that they have smart phones so they don’t have to know how to read or make change.

It is always an easy fix for politicians, just take more tax money from the people and flood it into a failed system. That is a lot easier for politicians than the politically dangerous act of doing something that might help.

In Conclusion

Who killed John F. Kennedy? Can we at least agree that we should know who is killing our leaders? JFK, RFK, MLK, and all the others whose murderers are hidden by the fog of history? In 1963 there was no NSA, only the CIA. So the government didn’t have the capability of knowing everything about everybody as it does today. The CIA today with its 25,000 employees and its massive worldwide outreach, to whom is it loyal. Certainly not to the American people.

Finally, folks, who killed JFK. Government and all its downstream agencies are uniquely capable of covering their own crimes so I no longer expect the truth to ever come out. What we really know is that the government’s explanation, as usual, is nothing but a pack of lies.

At least that’s the way I see it.

Until next time folks,
