New Archivist of the United States - AOTUS - Dr. Colleen Shogan
Bk Notes - I will be adding to this as I learn more about her.
There's the new Archivist of the USA - Dr. Colleen Shogan, the eleventh to hold that position, who was nominated by Biden last August and approved by the Senate on May 10.
While she looks like your neighborhood librarian, she is actually a high
bred Ivy League academic Archivist, who we must convince to enforce the JFK
Act, and have the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) assume
the duties of the defunct Assassinations Records Review Board (ARRB), as
Congress intended and the law prescribes, so the NARA will resume identifying
and accumulating new relevant records to be included in the JFK
Collection.
The previous Archivist of the United States (AOTUS) was a blogger who
promoted himself as one who sought open records and transparency - he really
did nothing when it came to enforcing the JFK Act, and his recommendations to
Presidents Trump and Biden are still sealed, but we know that both men, despite
saying they would release all of the JFK assassination records, failed to do
so, and cow towed to the CIA and Pentagon in keeping thousands of records
sealed and others from entering the JFK Collection at all.
Shogan Confirmed
by U.S. Senate as 11th Archivist of the United States - ASSASSINATION ARCHIVES
Although her background as a mainstream Ivy Leaguer with strong ties to the
administration, so it doesn't seem likely she will do the right thing and
enforce the law - we at least must make the effort to convince her to do so,
and we should do it in a public manner so others come to bear on the
issue.
