SECURITY CLEARANCES:
Unclassified
Classified
Confidential
Secret
Top Secret
Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI)
So it appears the highest level of clearance Oswald possessed was actually a Secret clearance. For reference, the President of the United States has a TS/SCI clearance. So do National Security bureaucrats, some Congressmen, high-ranking military leaders, and some special forces. Most of Congress, the President's cabinet, military leaders, and the rest of special forces would have a Top Secret clearance.

**To clarify, Oswald not being able to buy the drink from the soda machine in the 30 or so seconds in which Kennedy was passing by outside, and yet there still being condensation on the drink, made it impossible for him to be the killer, because he must have been in the second-floor lunchroom of the Depository right before Kennedy turned into the Plaza.....buying his drink.**

About Your Host
Hey! My name is Carson Wagner. I'm a 16-year old junior in high school, student pilot, blogger, and podcaster based in central California.
It all started with my curiosity about the JFK assassination. Like many, I thought “conspiracy theories” were just wild ideas dreamed up by people in tinfoil hats. But when I started digging into the details, I was shocked to discover how much evidence supported some truly mind-blowing possibilities. What began as casual research turned into a passion for uncovering the hidden truths behind history’s strangest events.
Initially, I thought about writing a book, but then I realized a podcast would be the perfect way to share these discoveries. The Oswald Files began as a deep dive into the JFK assassination, but it has since grown into something bigger. Now, I explore conspiracies, unsolved mysteries, and the strange occurrences that keep us questioning the world around us.
I release new episodes regularly, and I love hearing from listeners! If you have comments, suggestions, guest requests, or just want to say hi, shoot me an email at theoswaldfiles@gmail.com. You can also check out my blog at carsonwagner.substack.com.
Thanks for joining me on this journey into the unknown.
