"CIA admits shadowy officer monitored Oswald before JFK assassination, new records reveal"
https://www.axios.com/2025/07/05/cia-agent-oswald-kennedy-assassination
For the first time since President Kennedy's assassination nearly 62 years ago, the CIA has tacitly admitted that an officer specializing in psychological warfare ran an operation that came into contact with Lee Harvey Oswald before the Dallas killing.
Why it matters: The disclosure Thursday — nestled in a batch of 40 documents concerning officer George Joannides — indicates the CIA lied for decades about his role in the Kennedy case before and after the assassination, according to experts on JFK's slaying.
The linchpin document: A Jan. 17, 1963, CIA memo showing Joannides was directed to have an alias and fake driver's license bearing the name "Howard Gebler."
Until Thursday, the agency had denied that Joannides was known as "Howard," the case officer name for the CIA contact who worked with activists from an anti-communist group opposed to Cuban dictator Fidel Castro called the Cuban Student Directorate.
For decades, the agency also falsely said it had nothing to do with the student group, which was instrumental in having Oswald's pro-Castro stances published soon after the shooting.
There's more. I try to explain.
What we got above, is: Documents which prove that CIA & Joannides were behind story line, "Oswald is commie! That's why he shot JFK! Let's re-invade Cuba!"
That proves
-
CIA manipulates media
-
CIA always knew & tracked Oswald
-
CIA lied..... 60+ years.....in denying 1 & 2
Even if you believe theory of "lone gunman", "Oswald shot JFK" - that much 
is bad for CIA.
But there's more!
Joannides was on key 1978 committee of Congress. Sabotaged it for CIA.
The intrigue: Joannides didn't just have knowledge of Oswald before the assassination — afterward he played a central role in deceiving the House Select Committee on Assassinations.
At the time, the CIA appointed Joannides to be its liaison with the committee. But he and the agency hid the fact that he was involved with DRE and therefore the Kennedy case, slow-walked the CIA's production of records, and lied.
The committee's chief counsel, Robert Blakey, testified in 2014 that he asked Joannides about "Howard" and DRE, and that "Joannides assured me that they could find no record of any such officer assigned to DRE, but that he would keep looking," Blakey said.
A former committee investigator, Dan Hardway, testified before a House Oversight committee last month that Joannides was running a "covert operation" to undermine the congressional probe into the assassination.
Two years after stonewalling the committee, Joannides was awarded the Career Intelligence Medal by the CIA in 1981. He died in 1990.
But there's more!
-
"lone gunman" theory is long debunked
-
who were other gunmen? Who directed their movements?
-
some find evidence, that Oswald saw himself as double agent, loyal American, maybe even right-wing
-
under that evidence, Oswald handlers were Guy Banister of FBI & George Joannides of CIA who TOLD Oswald what double-agent-y, commie things he should do next
Uh-huh.
After JFK shot, Oswald said "I am only a patsy" - then was shot, before he could say more.
