--Researchers are most interested in the file on George Joannides, a CIA agent who may have had a connection to Lee Harvey Oswald and acted as a liaison on a later assassination investigation

All documents pertaining to the Kennedy assassination are set to be released by 2017

Fifty years after the assassination of President John F Kennedy in Dallas, Texas, researchers are still investigating his mysterious murder.

Thousands of pages pertaining to the assassination are still sealed, and researchers are calling for a complete public release.

Jefferson Morley, former Washington Post Reporter currently suing the CIA to release the data, is most interested in a file containing about 300 pages on the now-deceased CIA agent George Joannides.

That’s a great point. I’d forgotten about Oswald’s involvement in the Civil Air Patrol. It really seems inescapable to me. Oswald was a CIA agent. Almost 100%. I should add that this doesn’t mean that I know what happened. I have little doubt that Oswald was the shooter, but who the heavies were I really don’t know. I have my suspicions, but it’s just speculation. We really need full disclosure. It’s ridiculous that files have no yet been released after 50 years.

> “Oswald was a communist. He’d spent time with the Soviets.”

And wasn’t he seen working in a casino or some similar type enterprise owned by mobster kingpin, Carlos Marcello, prior to the JFK assassination?

The Mexico City visit was troubling. There were tapes that had Oswald’s voice on it, but they were erased. Somehow our cameras were not working on the weekend Oswald visited the Soviet & Cuban embassies. The CIA agent that I mentioned, Willian Gaudet, who was next in line before Oswald getting a visa to visit Mexico City also stated that he was aware of Oswald in New Orleans in the summer of 63....why & how was he aware of who Oswald was & what he was doing that summer ?

The CIA is a wholly owned subsidiary of Oligarchy International and as such, operates according to principles and strategies that we chronically can only guess at; which is a shame, because the info is out there in hundreds of books detailing CIA involvement in some really strange, illegal and self-serving black ops; everything from “Men Who Stare at Goats” to heroin airlifts to gun running to money laundering to contract assassinations to hypno programming to false flag/provocateur actions to running the Baader Meinhoff and Red Brigades gangs to the Viet Nam Phoenix Operation, which, on a proiportional per capita basis, probably death camped more victims than Hitler’s SS. Conservatives tend to knee jerk defend the CIA out of our endemic marxophobia, but we are slowly learning to understand the world of Edward Snowden, wrong address drug busts, corruption as a way of political life and the ability of tyranny to appear palatable if not downright powerful, righteous and sexy. We need to get smarter faster, that’s all there is to it.

Years ago there was a book “A man called Lyndon” which went into great detail about Lyndon Johnson and his obsession with being president and his rise to power on the backs of others. It was a devastating book about him and disappeared off the bookshelves in a hurry and it’s impossible now to find a copy of it. Such a shame!

I have always believed that JFK’s assassination was more than some local affair. JFK had just told the world banking establishment to go pound sand as to their monetary business, mainly the Rothchilds who funded the Russian revolution, and their so called Fed Reserve which was not and is not in any significant way a USA federal bank. JFK actually had the USA treasury print millions of USA dollars. This sealed his term and life and the conspirators had to make all kinds of smoke to cover the real/actual reason and persons behind JFK’s assassination. Oswald was a very willing and ignorant dupe.

Like an old Soviet anecdote:
Stalin’s aide told Stalin that one of his ministers died in the car crash. One of the ministers who was seating next to Stalin had a hearing problem and asked who died in the car crash? Stalin looked at the minister and replied that, unfortunately, the victim failed to commit suicide so he died in the car crash..

Did the tapes have Oswald’s voice? The director of the FBI said it wasn’t his voice, other people say it was.

Were the cameras not working? The CIA chief of station said in his memoirs that they were working and should have captured Oswald every time he entered or exited the building. Other people say they weren’t working.

Who should we believe?

Besides the guy you mentioned, check out the guy who sat next to Oswald on the bus to Mexico. His name was John Howard Bowen. Or Albert Osbourne. See, he had two names that he used, and multiple passports. Claimed to be a Baptist missionary, but there is no evidence of him doing any missionary work, except for letters that he himself seems to have sent in to his local newspaper establishing the story. Traveled quite a bit between the US and Mexico, though he had no apparent business in Mexico that anyone could discover.

“Conservatives tend to knee jerk defend the CIA out of our endemic marxophobia...”

Which isn’t very sensible, since the CIA has historically been a pretty left-leaning organization. Not as far left as the State department, but not very conservative-friendly either.

The evidence leads me to believe that Oswald was some kind of low level government agent. Perhaps he went off on his own & shot Kennedy & the government was trying to put distance between itself & him; and had no part in the crime.

A “wilderness of mirrors”. Much disinformation has been sold and bought concerning this issue. Some of might even be innocent misinformation, but not all by any means.

Lets see:

No less then 3 shooters.
Military trained shooters at that.
Oswald was not one of them.

The most interesting part is that the real shooters have managed to stay undetected all this time.

What you say makes a lot of sense, but how do you explain the reason he had for the assassination?

I have that book “A Man Called Lyndon” around here someplace. I’ll look for it. You can probably get the Robert Caro books on Amazon. My father was a Texas conservative back when almost everyone else here was a democrat. He hated LBJ.

The LBJ theory is the one that I think is most plausible. The behavior of the players involved and the facts I’m aware of all support this theory.

Many of the other theories seem dubious based on the psychology and actions of the people involved.

I always thought it was strange who Oswald got out of the Marines on a hardship case so he could go home to take care of his mother. Then he almost immediately goes to Russia. How did he afford the trip?

The Cubans didn’t do anything without the Soviets signing off,

Well, there is the story about the U2 that was shot down over Cuba: Castro reached over and pressed the launch button in front of the Soviet tech while they were watching the radar of the U2 flight.

Anderson was Anderson. I think he might have been losing it towards the end of his life. I'm pretty sure his column was cancelled, and his book was a last hurrah at an attempt at relevance.

Nikita Khrushchev was quietly removed from power shortly after the 1963 assassination. I don't think anybody looked into that connection but I agree with you that there would have been a nuclear war if it was ever revealed that the Khrushchev regime engineered the JFK assassination. It makes sense that he would. Think about how embarrassed Khrushchev was over the missile crisis situation.

Even though Khrushchev was not officially replaced by Brezhnev until October 1964, Khrushchev had been basically out the picture for nearly a year by that time.
