Super Bowl Sunday. The holiest day on the American calendar. A most auspicious occasion. And this Super Bowl, number 59, was the best Super Bowl since 2011 (Giants vs the Patriots). Yesterday, the Philadelphia Eagles delivered a stomping on the hapless Kansas City Chiefs the likes they’d never seen in their entire Patrick Mahomes led era. As well, by all appearances at least, it was the most organic and un-manipulated Super Bowl since that 2011 game.

The vicious pummeling of the Chiefs helped everyone – including the Chiefs. The fact of the matter was, everyone was sick of the Chiefs. This group of players have been in the Super Bowl more times than I can bother to recall, and they’d won two straight, setting up for the unprecedented “Three-peat” title. Even the top brass at the NFL knew this was a bore for everyone. Accusations of the game being “rigged” were coming from all corners of the media, especially after that blatant robbery of the AFC Championship Game against the Buffalo Bills.

In the end, everyone won – the Chiefs redeemed their likability by being humbled, the Eagles gained acknowledgment for their dominance, the NFL got back some credibility for “fairness,” and Taylor Swift got a PR boost when everyone booed her, putting her firmly back in “victim” status where she feels so comfortable.

But we’re not here to talk about Professional Football. Not for a while at least. The 2024 season has been put to bed and though some may mourn, we’re all the better for it. There is life, after all, beyond the game. It is your job to go find that life. Live it up instead of vicariously sucking up the glory of others like some blind parasitic worm.

Now here is something to write home to mommy about. On Tuesday, February 11, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna unveiled the new Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets. It will be organized under the House Oversight Committee headed by James Comer (R-Ky).

The stated purpose here is to increase government transparency and come clean on some long standing conspiracies that have been lingering in the meta-data of the American psyche, including the assassinations of JFK, RFK, MLK as well as secrets concerning UFOs, 9/11, origins of COVID, Epstein, etc.

Oh, that’s a doozy. What prompted such an impetus? Rep. Comer explains:

“For too long, the federal government has kept information of public interest classified and the American people are demanding greater transparency. This secrecy has sowed distrust in our institutions. The Task Force will build on the Trump Administration’s efforts to declassify records of national importance and ensure Americans get the answers they deserve. Representative Luna is committed to shining a light on the truth and ending the era of secrecy.”

After that introduction, Rep. Luna took the podium and cut right to the chase. She dove right in head first, pulling no punches. She started by taking a single shot at the Warren Commission’s investigation into the 1963 shooting of JFK, saying:

“Based on what I’ve been seeing so far, the initial hearing that was actually held here in Congress was actually faulty in the single-bullet theory,” adding, “I believe that there were two shooters.”

The Warren Commission, of course, after a year-long investigation into the JFK assassination, had determined that the President had been killed by one shooter – Lee Harvey Oswald. In effect, the government was telling the American people that there is no conspiracy folks, nothing to see here, just keep moving along. Business as usual.

Interestingly enough, there was a report produced back in 1979 by the House Select Committee on Assassinations that concluded that JFK “was probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy.”

Regarding these various probes into the nefarious underpinnings of the assassination, Luna states, “There’s been conflicting evidence and I think that even the FBI at the time reported some anomalies in the initial autopsy at Bethesda, Maryland.”

She adds that, “All of those, though, seem to have been rinsed and repeated in the media to push a certain narrative that we don’t agree with.” Luna states she wants to “put to bed some of the theories that have been out there” to parse out “the full truth.”

Sure, we get it, we’re all sick of the run-around. The question is, is this just some more Big Talk or are we going to get some Straight Answers? To this end, the Task Force wants to bring in some “attending physicians at the initial assassination” and other witnesses to the scene.

Last month, President Trump ordered the release of previously classified files on the assassinations of JFK, RFK and MLK. The FBI has been busy beavers as well, unloading about 14,000 pages of files on the JFK assassination since Trump took office.

Regarding Rep. Luna, she has been in office since 2023, she is an Air Force Veteran and the first Mexican-Amercan elected to Congress from Florida. She announced that the new Task Force’s first hearing, scheduled for March 26, will be open to the public and the media. Further details will be announced soon.

Now, I have to say I have a guarded optimism about this whole endeavor. But an optimism nonetheless. Really, there’s something about this, it has a different feel, a different approach and you get a sense of urgency here. So what do you think makes this any different from our past task forces tasked with ‘transparency and disclosure?’

I think the thing to look at here is that we have a different administration in office. The gate keepers have switched. And maybe, this is the beauty of the American government system I don’t know. Still, just in the first couple weeks of this new administration, sweeping changes are underway. And we know they are sweeping, because they are either being met with terrific enthusiasm or great dread, depending mostly on one’s political party affiliation. Politics aside, the system is getting shaken up. What we want to know is, will some alien tech fall our way?
