For over 60 years, the Central Intelligence Agency insisted it had no connection to Lee Harvey Oswald — the man who assassinated President John F. Kennedy in 1963.
But now, newly released government documents confirm what many have long suspected: the CIA lied.
CIA Agent Used Alias to Oversee Group Linked to Oswald
According to Axios, a newly uncovered memo dated January 17, 1963 reveals that CIA agent George Joannides was operating under the alias “Howard Gebler”, assigned to coordinate with anti-Castro student groups.
One of those groups — the DRE (Directorio Revolucionario Estudiantil) — directly interacted with Oswald just months before the assassination.
-
On August 9, 1963, Oswald was involved in a scuffle with DRE members in New Orleans.
-
On August 21, he was debating them on television.
-
After JFK was killed, the group publicly branded Oswald a pro-Castro communist.
The CIA has long denied that Joannides had any direct involvement. That narrative is now officially dead.
