Why did the mystery man bet on the eve of Kennedy's assassination that the president would die within three weeks?
On October 28th, 654381,the National Archives of the United States released 289 1 confidential files of Kennedy's assassination, which further publicized the confidential information of this "shocking mystery" in American history. The latest information shows that more than a week before Kennedy's assassination, it is said that a mysterious man bet $ 100 in a pub in New Orleans that Kennedy would die within three weeks.

According to American media reports, this report about an American agent in Robert Rowles (1963165438+1October 27th) shows that a man named Rawls heard a creepy conversation in a pub in New Orleans one week before Kennedy's assassination. At that time, a mysterious man said that Kennedy would die in three weeks and was willing to bet 100 dollars. However, Rawls was drunk at that time, and he couldn't remember the name, appearance or even the name of the pub he went to.

The agent wrote in the record: "Rawls said that he didn't care too much about this person at that time, thinking that this was just the nonsense of an alcoholic, and drunk people could bet on anything. But after Kennedy's assassination, Rawls believed that what he heard was meaningful and should be reported to the US authorities. "

Judging from these exposed files, this is not the first time to predict Kennedy's death in advance. According to overseas network reports earlier, MI5 reported that1October 22nd, 1963 165438, the British "Cambridge Evening News" received an anonymous phone call from a senior reporter. The person on the phone only said that the reporter of Cambridge Evening News should call the American Embassy in London because there would be big news, and then the phone hung up.

It is reported that after learning of Kennedy's death, the reporter immediately informed the local police of this mysterious phone call, and the police then informed MI5. It is worth noting that the call was made 25 minutes before Kennedy was killed, and this reporter had never received a similar call before. MI5 assured the CIA that this reporter is a very loyal and reliable person with no illegal record.

At +00 local time on June 26th, 2008, US President Trump said that the National Archives would be allowed to disclose the remaining confidential documents of the Kennedy assassination on June 26th, 2008. According to a bill of the U.S. Congress 1992, the confidential documents of Kennedy assassination should be declassified one after another within 25 years. Previously, a batch of files have been published one after another, but the last batch of files are still "hidden in the snow".

In fact, 90% of these materials (about 30 thousand documents) have been published by the National Archives and Records Administration of the United States, and the last batch of documents is only the tip of the iceberg. Analysts in the United States generally believe that the probability that the archives contain explosive information is very small and will not bring new conclusions to the assassination of Kennedy. However, these documents may contain some details of Oswald's activities before the assassination, and may also expose the practices of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to cover up the truth.

1992, the U.S. congress passed the Kennedy assassination record collection act, requiring that millions of pages of investigation data be published within 25 years. 2017101October 26th is the deadline for the publication of these files.
