The CIA and the machinery to kill presidents
from #Granma [publication of the Cuban Communist Party]
Author: Raúl Antonio Capote
March 24, 2025
We must remember that President John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963, during a visit to Dallas. At that time, police arrested #LeeHarveyOswald. Two days later, #Mafia-linked nightclub owner Jack Ruby killed #Oswald as he was being transported to jail.
An immediate attempt was made to link #Cuba to the crime, a long-standing effort by the #Cuban counterrevolution, despite the island's innocence being clear from the outset.
"Many details are coming to light about the #CIA's work around the world to influence elections, sabotage economies, and overthrow governments," notes Peter Kornbluh, analyst at the National Security Archive.
Among other things, new information is revealed about ZR/Rifle...as well as the Agency's ...obsession with destroying the Cuban Revolution.
The CIA reveals more of its connections to #LeeHarveyOswald

For more than 60 years, the CIA claimed it had little or no knowledge of Lee Harvey Oswald’s activities before the assassination of President #JohnFKennedy in November 1963. That wasn’t true, new documents unearthed by a House task force prove. The revelation adds fuel to the long-simmering questions around what the agency knew about the plot to murder the president, and what else it may be hiding.
The documents confirm that #GeorgeJoannides, a #CIA officer based in #Miami in 1963, was helping finance and oversee a group of #Cuban students opposed to the ascension of #FidelCastro. #Joannides had a covert assignment to manage anti-Castro propaganda and disrupt pro-#Castro groups, even as the CIA was prohibited from domestic spying.

".. fand sie [Chris Kubecka als Grundschülerin] in diesen Unterlagen [ihres Vaters - DIA] .. [ein] Simple Sabotage Field Manual, das die CIA im Zweiten Weltkrieg [sic!] herausgebracht hatte. .. Welchen massiven Vorteil diejenigen haben, die Demokratien zerstören wollen."
WW2? 1948? OSS? evil-bit? Rollenspiel? Schau mal die evilbits, die Mossadegh, Sankara, Lumumba, Allende und fast alle Demokratien im Trikont beseitigten und Diktaturen wie die Saudis aufbauten.
...which has been taken over by the #CIA!
The original is still there, though, thanks to your awesome work!

We reviewed declassified #CIA documents and concluded that it was likely sourced from a plant in #Zaporizhzhia, #Ukraine.
Good morning to readers; Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.
The #Blackbird was a plane used to spy on the Soviets. But the U.S. didn’t have titanium, so it secretly bought it from the Soviets themselves!
We found declassified #CIA docs suggesting it came from #Ukraine.

Surprise, Kill, Vanish: The Definitive History of Secret CIA Assassins, Armies and Operators by Annie Jacobsen, 2019
Annie Jacobsen takes us deep inside this top-secret history. With unparalleled access to former operatives, ambassadors, and even past directors of the Secret Service and CIA operations, Jacobsen reveals the inner workings of these teams, and just how far a U.S. president may go, covertly but lawfully, to pursue the nation's interests.
In the wake of the NSC’s decapitation, members of Trump’s national security team have been pursuing their own agendas, sometimes at odds with the agenda of the president or of other officials.

"Soviet double agent Dmitri Polyakov was arrested by the #KGB on July 7 1986, six years after his retirement. Polyakov spent 21 years spying for the #FBI and CIA, all while working for Soviet Military Intelligence. #Polyakov insisted on being given only $3000 a year, and asked to be paid in power tools and fishing gear. He was betrayed by double agents within the #CIA, Robert Hanssen and Aldrich Ames. In 1988, Polyakov was sentenced to death for #treason"

Now we know why Joannides received the, CIA “Career Intelligence Medal” in 1981?
Joannides withheld, lied and distorted agency involvement in the JFK 22 November 1963 assassination and every investigation that followed. The Warren, Church, HSC and AARB.
