Almost 62 years after President John F. Kennedy’s assassination, the Central Intelligence Agency has revealed that one of their officers had contact with Lee Harvey Oswald before and after the November killing, documents released this week and first reported by Axios have revealed.
The documents concern a CIA officer who specialized in psychological warfare known as George Joannides. The crux of the revelation is in a document dated Jan 17, 1963 revealing that Joannides had an alias and fake driver’s license under the name “Howard Gebler.” Prior to Thursday's document revelation, the CIA had denied that “Howard” was in fact Joannides, who had been in contact with an anti-communist activist group working against Cuba’s dictator Fidel Castro.
The CIA had claimed for decades their operatives had no connection with the Cuban Student Directorate, which is where the activists published Oswald’s pro-Castro writings following the assassination. The student group was often referred to as DRE for its Spanish-language initials. Jefferson Morley, an expert on the assassination told the outlet, “The cover story for Joannides is officially dead. This is a big deal. The CIA is changing its tune on Lee Harvey Oswald.”
The CIA’s Miami Division oversaw “all aspects of political action and psychological warfare” and was where Joannides served as deputy chief. The agency funneled money to the anti-Castro student group and covertly directed their actions. In August of 1963, four DRE members got into an altercation with Oswald in New Orleans while he was passing out pro-Castro “Fair Play for Cuba Committee” literature. Weeks later, Oswald debated DRE activists on local television, giving his communist leanings more public exposure. Both incidents were portrayed in Oliver Stone’s 1991 film “JFK.”

yes but speculative is more fun and sells books!
Doctors find ammo in Kennedy’s skull that don’t match Oswald gun the wind changed the design huh Moe.
Please provide your evidence to support this statement. The Warren Commission issued a 26 volume report and didn’t provide conclusive evidence that would have survived the scrutiny of a court trial and cross examination. Maybe YOU have some new super duper incredible evidence that none of us have ever known about to back your statement. Share it with us will you?
It shows someone in the CIA had “contact” with Oswald. It does not show that someone directed Oswald in any way.
It was a radio debate, and Oswald came across as uninformed and was embarrassed.
“Oswald debated DRE activists on local television, ... “
Some think this was what uhhh triggered him to carry out the murder.
Because only you know what really happened.
Very interesting.
But this piece is so terribly written. Reads like a rough draft.
Oh, my word, that's terrible! When and where did that news come out?
Certainly worked during the plandemic.
Agreed—excellent example of mind control at work.
NY Times, July 3, 1997. Ford also wrote the 2004 foreword to a revised edition of the Warren Commission Report that the CIA had kept critical secrets from the Commission during its review.
“When any two people know anything in Washington it's a conspiracy''.
They believe Oswald took a shot at Major General Edwin Walker at his home, before he allegedly killed Kennedy. Was the CIA involved in that too?
Wow. I always thought he was one of the good guys. There had to have been enormous Establishment pressure that tempted him to do it, and he probably felt weak because he was an “accidental” president. But eww.
In the end I guess he still was a good guy, in the sense that he confessed and tried to correct the record.
Which most of their operations were and are. The less people involved, the easier the coverup.
The building wasn't vacant. It was a business with many employees, and running that day.
Oswald traveled to Mexico and visited the Soviet and Cuban embassy there in September 1963. He was looking for a visa to travel through Cuba and then on to Russia. Supposedly.
I bet they had contact with Jack Ruby as well! LOL!
“x-rays were “lost” and a skull section was “lost” is all you need to know.”

F.B.I. for certain. Any number of state, local, and federal agencies should have rounded him up during a visit by the CINC.
