New Documents Shed Light on CIA's Connection to Lee Harvey Oswald
newsweek ^ | 12/6/2022 | nick reynolds

A corps of researchers looking into the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy say they have unearthed proof his alleged assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, was involved in an operation by the CIA mere months before the killing, reigniting questions about whether the Oswald truly was alone in his decision to kill the youngest man ever elected president.

In a Tuesday press conference at the National Press Club, Jefferson Morley—a veteran of the D.C. press corps and a preeminent expert on JFK's assassination with the Mary Ferrell Foundation—told reporters that he and attorneys with the foundation obtained documentation relating to a still-classified covert operation approved by senior CIA officials three months before Kennedy's death that suggested the agency used Oswald for intelligence purposes several weeks prior to shooting.

"This is an extraordinarily serious claim, and it has profound implications for the official story," Morley said Tuesday morning in Washington. "The CIA knew far more about the lone gunman than then they are admitting even today. So this story deserves the closest possible scrutiny."

The document, one of several researchers obtained this month as the result of an October lawsuit, is a precursor to a fuller release of documents anticipated by the National Archives this month.

The mandated release of records dates to a 2021 memo by President Joe Biden's administration ordering the release of all documents related to the JFK assassination after several delays by agencies like the CIA and FBI. Attorneys for the Mary Ferrell Foundation argued that the agencies have illegally stalled the release of more than 16,000 additional documents related to the case over concerns they could potentially compromise the names of individuals and the methods used in intelligence-gathering activities more than a half-century ago.

Newsweek reached out to the CIA for comment.

“”The CIA knew far more about the lone gunman than then they are admitting even today.”

What lone gunman would that be?

Oswald was a lone gunman in the same sense that Epstein killed himself.

Ah ... but that was the CIA of 1963 as investigated by the Supreme Court Chief Justice and the FBI of 1963.

Everything is much more on the up-and-up now, and today’s officials and bureaucrats would never lie.

A guy in Minsk told me the russkies shipped him there from Moscow because he annoyed them. The cops in Minsk used to scrape Oswald up off the pavement because he got so drunk everynight on vodka, so if he passed out, he would freeze to death...so the cops put him a warm jail. Now if you were planning to take a how many hundred yard shot at a president...would you be getting drunk every night, or going to the range?

Newsweak should have been able to uncover and publish this report by April 1964.

I seriously doubt that 60 year old intelligence is still pertinent. Most everyone involved is either very old or dead.

...a how many hundred yard shot at a president...

The Oswald kill shot was about 90 yards. And the "magic bullet" shot has been replicated with ballistic targets.

I assume my math is correct, this was almost *60* years ago now. And Bush Sr. is dead, so why NOT release all the info?

What “methods and practices” were they doing 60 years ago that aren’t already known TODAY?

The Zapruder film clearly shows Kennedy;s head being thrown back and a red mist of blood and brains appearing behind him from the shot that killed him and came from the front.

The Dark Powers at the CIA killed JFK because he credibly threatened shutting down or curtailing the spy agencies. Likely Bush and John
son were involved.

The above is fiction....or is it????
