“I confess to finding it striking that the Agency did not say, ‘To the best of our knowledge, no,’ writes Scott Sayare in a recent New York magazine article on JFK's assassination.
Truman authorized the CIA as an information collection agency, only. It was never to involve itself in anything political.
Allen Dulles the first director of the CIA had every intention of taking the CIA in a direction for power and gain. It has never just collected. CIA planned operations and then needed the US army to bail it out of its poorly planning. The army was used to cover its acquisition of guns and military vehicles. A large part of the army's budget supplies the CIA with its weapons.
I think everyone familiar with the years of independent research knows that CIA asset Oswald was part of James Jesus Angleton‘s false defector program.
Angleton had long been head of CIA counter intelligence, and devised the program to send fake defectors to Russia to have moles inside the KGB.
It largely failed; and in Oswald’s case, the state department actually financed his return to the US, where he was then ‘controlled’ by a series of CIA agents, including George Demorenshildt, and Ruth and Michael Paine, in Dallas.
It was Ruth Paine who famously got Oswald the job at the Texas school book depository in the weeks before the assassination, well after the president’s trip to Dallas had been announced, and the route to the trade mart through Dealey Plaza sketched out.
That answer to me can be translated as “we’ve done everything we’re gonna do about the JFK material, we’re not going to spell anything out for you, and if you want more you can sod off.”
If you want to read actual, serious investigative journalism on the JFK assignation, read Case Closed and Reclaiming History. You will laugh at this BS after doing so. Of course the CIA had contact w Oswald - he defected to the USSR. And then came back, the CIA would have been derelict to not monitor him. Remember, this was before the Church Commission reforms so the CIA was more active domestically. This comment proves absolutely nothing. All the BS in the defended article was debunked long ago. I’m so sick of this nonsense.
Son, you've likely not done your homework. Read Case Closed by Gerald Posner and Reclaiming History by Bugliosi. What you'll find you is that the precious ideas you have about the assassination were debunked decades ago for the most part. And my explanation above as to why the CIA was aware of Oswald is common sense and on the effing record, you hack. #FactsMatter
CIA spied on him. Marchetti says he was CIA. Plumlee says he was CIA. Nagell says he was CIA. Oswald says he was CIA. James Wilcox says CIA. Dallas DA Henry Wade says he had LHO CIA employment number. Much of Oswald Still classified(taxes, U2, 201 file, etc). Too much to list... he was CIA for sure.
Kennedy threatened the CIA and paid the price

Bingo.

Agreed. Who was LHO's handler in NOLA? Hunter Leaked?

You’ve got to be kidding me. Do your homework

LMFAO! No, just no.
