--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.

Oswald was a communist. He'd spent time with the Soviets. There's even a photo of him holding a rifle and communist pamphlets.
The left are keeping details secret because they want to continue to hide just how awful that leftist-socialist "utopia" was.
How about we concentrate on fifty years after the supposed alleged spawning of the illegitimate, bisexual, Marxist Kenyan Muslim Usurper!
“Oswald was a communist. He’d spent time with the Soviets.”
That should have been obvious- people didn’t just come and go at will in the Soviet Union.... I think they have been keeping a lid on that because if the truth had come out there would have been a nuclear war.

Gerald Posner - no, no relation to Vladimir Posner, has written a book debunking all of these theories.
Apparently, it is myth that the “records” sealed and will be opened soon.
I’m still skeptical of the whole Soviet angle. Oswald started trying to join Communist groups as a teenager, in the 50’s, but was summarily rejected because they were suspicious of infiltrators. Then he joined the Marines, got a post working with sensitive information while he was openly studying Russian and telling anyone who would listen about his Communist sympathies. Yet, there was no investigation? No revoking of his security clearance?
Then, he defects to the Soviet Union, and in doing so, got a passport to go there when it was all but impossible to get such a passport. In fact, there was only one diplomat in Europe who was issuing such passports, for a very limited window, and Oswald somehow knew to go directly to him at just the right time.
Then, when he wants to come back to the US, despite there being good reason to suspect that he helped the USSR shoot down Powers’ U2, he is allowed back, with only a short debriefing, and no detention. Even though we kept tabs on returned defectors, there seems to have been no follow up, even after he began agitating for Cuba and got a job at a defense contractor with access to more sensitive info?
His whole life stinks of some intelligence involvement, and the KGB just couldn’t have facilitated all of that for him.
Conversely, we didn’t just let returned Communist defectors come back and get jobs dealing with satellite photography for the government...
If you look at all the strangeness, it seems more likely he was a double agent. I see no other way to explain it all.

Clinton too.
Who are they kidding? There are still papers from the Lincoln assassination that haven’t been declassified.
Geez...I think that is the same cat who texted me about this article. Hmmm...
Good post. We have 2 government reports: The Warren Commision said Oswald did it alone. THSCOA in 1978 said Oswald was involved with others. I’m somewhere in the middle. After 50 years, if there was some cover-up, we should know more about it...we don’t. But...Oswald, at age 24, had too much damn intelligence connections, American & Soviet, all around him to just brush it off.
I remember all the government files on Martin Luther King were sealed for 50 years which seemed like forever at the time.
I guess that 50 years will pass before too long but I strongly suspect they will find some reason to keep them sealed.
JFK was having an affair with a communist agent. Why would the communists want him killed? The Soviets and the Cubans would never have that kind of access to Kennedy’s replacement. Let’s see.....hmmmmm.......who would gain by having Kennedy dead? Who would take his place? Would it have hurt the Democrat party back in the early 1960s if Americans found out our Camelot Democrat President was screwing a communist spy? Hmmmm....I wonder.....who would have benefited from Kennedy’s death?
“the KGB just couldn’t have facilitated all of that for him.”
That is debatable. The KGB focused much more on humint than the CIA. They would be more skilled at moving people around. And considering the CIA might have been infiltrated by the KGB, Oswald’s movements might have been ignored on purpose.
By George I think you’ve got it! Got to be LBJ!
