PSYOP CIA agent 'came across' Oswald before JFK assassination

The CIA has acknowledged for the first time that agent George Joannides, specializing in psychological warfare, had contact with Lee Harvey Oswald before Kennedy's assassination. This admission undermines decades of misinformation about Joannides' role. A 1963 memo revealed he operated under the alias "Howard Gebler" and was involved with the Cuban Student Directorate, which publicized Oswald's pro-Castro views.

Critics believe this indicates a cover-up, as Joannides deceived various investigative committees about his ties to Oswald. While some experts suspect rogue CIA elements may have been involved in the assassination, including Mossad operatives, opinions vary on Oswald's role. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna stated, "Joannides was '1,000 percent' involved in a CIA coverup."
