The 2025 declassified files reveal that the CIA didn’t just cooperate with the HSCA—they embedded a handler to steer it.
🚪 Watching the Watchers
In 1976, after public pressure reignited interest in JFK’s assassination, Congress formed the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) to investigate new leads.
The public believed this committee would be independent.
What they didn’t know was that the CIA was already inside the room.
The newly released files from 2025 confirm:
George Joannides, a senior CIA officer with ties to anti-Castro exile groups, was quietly placed as the Agency’s liaison to the committee—without revealing his past.
🕵️♂️ George Joannides: The Ghost in the Records
In 1963, Joannides was the case officer for the DRE (Directorate of Revolutionary Exiles)—the same anti-Castro group that had contact with Oswald in New Orleans.
But in 1978, when the HSCA began digging into Oswald’s Cuban ties, guess who was sent to “assist” the investigation?
George. Joannides.
The committee was never told of his past involvement with the very groups they were probing.
📁 The 2025 Files Reveal the Deception
A series of memos and internal CIA routing slips now declassified show:
- Joannides’ appointment was intentionally crafted to limit the HSCA’s access to sensitive files
- He was given “selective disclosure” instructions
- A legal memorandum from CIA counsel reads: “Joannides has operational familiarity with the areas under HSCA inquiry. This can be used to our procedural advantage.”
📞 Misdirection in Real Time
The HSCA investigators asked Joannides directly whether any CIA officers had connections to the Cuban exile groups in 1963.
His answer, according to a 2025 transcript:
“Not to my knowledge.”
Which, the new files confirm, was an outright lie.
🔥 Why It Matters
The HSCA ultimately concluded there may have been a conspiracy in JFK’s assassination—but the full truth was always out of reach.
Now we know why.
One of the CIA’s own was infiltrating the investigation from within, redirecting the flow of information and protecting key operations from exposure.
🔚 Controlled from Within
The 2025 documents don’t just prove the CIA hid information from Congress.
They show that Congress was manipulated in real time—by someone who knew exactly what to hide and how to do it.
The watchdog was compromised.
The truth, once again, was managed—not revealed.
