Story by Jack Davis 14h
For decades, the official Central Intelligence Agency story was that its tentacles were not connected in any way with Lee Harvey Oswald prior to the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
A new document release has shown that claim to be false, according to Axios.
The official verdict of the Warren commission that investigated Kennedys Nov. 22, 1963, death in Dallas was that Oswald was responsible. Although no proof has emerged to contradict that finding, there have long been suspicions that American intelligence agencies knew far more about Oswald and his activities than was made public at the time.
A new release of documents has breathed new life into doubts that the America people have been told the truth by indicating that agent George Joannides had in fact been conducting activities the CIA long denied.
FULL story at link above. The CIA lied???

(21,383 posts)For instance, CIA wanted war in Vietnam and a whole world of undemocratic stuff more, which JFK opposed. Now the nation fights wars for profit. Money trumps peace, is how George w Bush put it.
Another example, JFK ordered racial integration of CIA and FBI; both agencies which lied to the public about their own roles in covering up the assassination conspiracy. Now the NAZI Trump and racist MAGA are ending DEI and as much progress as possible.

(8,868 posts)The only new evidence I see is the name of the CIA operative "monitoring" Oswald. Someone named Bishop has always been linked. Didn't watch the whole video so I'll do that later.

The truth is too horrible for the public to digest.

(34,088 posts)Right as Trump is about to overhaul and gut the agency, and fill it with loyalists. Sorry, but considering it's from Trump, I'm not buying it. No doubt the CIA has dirt on Trump-Russia, as well. If the Trumpsters can convince the public that the CIA is "lying" about the Kennedy assassination, it's a lot easier to convince them that everything they do is a lie. He's deflecting, in order to make sure his own shit remains covered up.
The CIA may be bad guys, but Trump is even worse.

(21,383 posts)CIA officer George Joannides ran anti-Castro Cuban exile groups in New Orleans in 1963, at the same time Oswald led pro-Castro Fair Play for Cuba Committee in New Orleans. An apparently staged public confrontation led to Oswald on the radio to talk about his life as a Marxist.
Later, in the late 1970s, when the House Select Committee on Assassinations investigated CIA role, CIA assigned Joannides in charge of liaison with committee investigators going over files at Langley. No copies. No notes. And he made certain nothing incriminating was found.
The House investigation was never informed he was the same guy as the man running Oswald in New Orleans.
