The charade is over, but what does it mean?
Another piece of the jigsaw puzzle has been made public in the decades-long drip, drip, drip of information regarding the JFK assassination. Newly released documents reveal — as was long suspected — that a CIA operative was tailing Lee Harvey Oswald. This comes despite multiple denials that anyone from the nation’s chief intelligence agency had been lurking around the 23-year-old who has held the title of lone assassin since John F. Kennedy’s murder in Dallas, TX, on Nov. 22, 1963.
One document from the 40 released on July 4 detailed surveillance of Oswald by CIA operative George Joannides operating under the alias “Howard Gebler.” In the memo dated Jan. 17, 1963, Joannides was instructed to obtain a false Virginia driver’s license under the “Gebler” name. Additionally, his cover would include representing himself as an “attorney” who lives in Northwest DC and wears glasses.
“Gebler” was assigned to infiltrate (and some say fund) student-led anti-Castro organizations, such as the Directorio Revolucionario Estudiantil, more commonly known as DRE. This permitted Joannides, aka Gebler, to come into contact with Oswald, who self-identified as a pro-Castro Marxist. In fact, a camera recording of a street fight in New Orleans between the DRE and Oswald, who was handing out Fair Play for Cuba pamphlets, was unearthed later.
Despite all this activity, the Central Intelligence Agency repeatedly denied any involvement with the DRE or Oswald. JFK assassination expert Jefferson Morley was quoted in Axios, saying, “The cover story for Joannides is officially dead,” adding, “This is a big deal. The CIA is changing its tune on Lee Harvey Oswald.”
To make matters worse, Joannides played a part “in deceiving the House Select Committee on Assassinations” and hiding “that he was involved with DRE...

What about the Oswald-USSR connection that’s being hidden. What about his visit to the Cuban embassy in Mexico right before the assassination?
I think the 380 is a nomenclature problem. The term “380 MK1 Webley” refers to ammunition for the Webley Mk I revolver, which uses the .38 S&W (also known as .38/200) cartridge. This cartridge is distinct from the .380 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol) cartridge, and the two are not interchangeable. The .38 S&W (or .38/200) round was designed to be used in Webley and Enfield No. 2 revolvers.
But Oswald used a 2” Victory Smith & Wesson. And it was chambered in .38 S&W (not .38 Special) It fired a 200 grain bullet and is a shorter case than the 38 special.
A cop back then would likely have noted it as a “380” (in the British Webley short case sense)

You think that the KGB is the only intelligence agency in the Soviet Union? They were the more incompetent intelligence agency. Also, they were an internal security intelligence agency, not a foreign intelligence agency.
Interesting. Thanks to all posters.
Probably why they allowed him go to the USSR to begin with, and why he was banished to Minsk by the Russians. They probably suspected him of being a spy from the get-go. He supposedly crossed the border into the USSR from Finland after getting a visa. Wouldn’t the Finnish government have been in contact with someone in our government before providing the visa to him?
Are you thinking of “Executive Action”?

“Rogue intelligence agents, right-wing politicians, greedy capitalists, and free-lance assassins plot and carry out the JFK assassination.”
I believe his wife’s uncle was a colonel in army intelligence. In 1962 it would have been difficult for her to leave the USSR unless it was sanctioned.
They wanted to be rid of him. They didn’t take the bait of him as a defector. And she was nobody, and never amounted to anything after him.
They parked him with a nothing job at a small electronics factory and wanted nothing else to do with him.
Killing JFK was not a Russian op. First, the knock on JFK is that the Russians could roll him easily. Pulled missiles out of Turkey, did not support the CIA at Bay of Pigs, signed the Atmospheric Test Ban Treaty. Why would they want to replace him with Johnson? Or worse, a republican like Goldwater or Nixon?
Also, the Joint Chiefs and SAC were very horny to conduct a first strike on Russia and were looking for excuses. They wanted to do Operation Northwoods. They knew we were far ahead in our bomber and missile forces and that window would soon close.
Last, when the USSR fell, western researchers had free access to Soviet archives. The Venona intercepts came out and proved that the Rosenburgs were guilt as hell, and other operations here.
But nothing about them killing Oswald. Same from the Stasi files which were deeply extensive and detailed.
Killing JFK was an operation for CIA.
Oswald had double, ya see, and the double was there to fool Tibbit, ya see, it was all planned in advance, ya see, and the double killed Tibbit, ya see, and then the real Oswald, ya see, went the the movies because he wanted to see the picture, ya see, and Oswald was innocent, ya see, it was all a set-up, ya see.
both double dipping
RIGHT! That’s my belief as well. He could’ve very well met with the CIA, but that doesn’t make him the trigger man.
It brushes on how much Hoffa wanted JFK hit, due to RFK's attack on Hoffa. It points out that JFK screwed over the Mob, and the CIA during the Bay of Pigs fiasco. Sheeran claimed that he drove a load of rifles and equipment from Baltimore to Miami, that he was met by Howard Hunt, whose name he didn't know until he saw him on TV during Watergate.
Tippet was killed by G. Gordon Libby
G. Gordon Liddy
Who's Libby? Never heard of him. I have heard of G. Gordon Liddy but never that he was involved with killing a Dallas cop. Why would he do that?
And what the hell is with all you guys conjuring up the most crazy conspiracies to excuse a slimy, half nuts commie like Lee Harvey Oswald? Why do you guys do that?
Oswald was in sight all the way from killing Tippit and into the Texas Theater.
That was an imposter. There’s more to the story than what the Warren Commission wants you to believe.
Interesting list of who was in town.
GHW Bush - future president
Richard Nixon - future president
LBJ - future president
John Connally - future presidential candidate
And, of course, the one that usually gets forgotten:
Joan Crawford.
Well, why’dinya say so to begin with! 😁
Convoluted conspiracy theories. They all have their own. And they each know exactly how it was done.
It was the FBI, the CIA, Castro, LBJ, the Mob, the Secret Service, the blond guy in the suit. Take your pick.
I worked with two guys who both believed the Mob killed Kennedy but for completely different reasons. lol
