Smoking Gun Documents Point to CIA Machinations in JFK Assassination

The release of the personnel file of undercover CIA officer George Joannides shifts the burden of proof in JFK assassination discussions onto the government and the theoreticians of the lone gunman. After two decades of CIA obfuscation, JFK researchers do not need to concoct a conspiracy theory to explain the malfeasance of the Agency and Joannides in 1963 and 1978. The Joannides file is smoking proof that the CIA lied repeatedly to investigators, Congress, and the public about Joannides actions as they related to Oswald and JFK s assassination. Even Gerald Posner does not deny that.

Now the burden of proof has shifted to the government and the CIA to explain how the story emerging from the Joannides file so carefully hidden from JFK investigators for six decades supports the official narrative of the lone gunman. And as Posner is finding out, it s not an easy burden to shoulder.

I remember we gave a ride home to James Jesus Angleton’s mother from Mass one Sunday when I was a child. An elegant Mexican lady dressed in full Mexican lady regalia. His nephew was a year ahead of me in school at St. Joseph’s, the cathedral school at St. John’s, the hub of Catholic activity in Boise, and indeed of the entire vast expanse of the State of Idaho. If you want your head to explode, read up on the raveled-up knots of espionage and counter-espionage James Jesus tried to untie while he was the CIA’s storied head of that department.
