Greek-American Agent Ioannides Tied to CIA’s JFK Cover-Up

Posted on by

A pivotal CIA memo, dated January 17, 1963, explicitly instructed Ioannides to operate under the alias “Howard Gebler” and utilize a fake driver’s license. Until last Thursday, the CIA had consistently denied that Ioannides was known as “Howard,” the very name of the CIA contact linked to the case. Ioannides worked closely with the Cuban Student Directorate (DRE), an anti-communist group opposed to Fidel Castro, covertly financing and directing their activities.

For decades, the agency also falsely claimed to have no connection to the DRE. This student group played a pivotal role in disseminating information on Oswald’s pro-Castro leanings immediately after Kennedy’s assassination, an act now understood to have been at least indirectly influenced by Ioannides’ operations.

“The Ioannides cover-up story is officially dead,” declared Jefferson Morley, a renowned author and expert on the Kennedy assassination, to Axios. “This is a big deal. The CIA is changing its mind about Lee Harvey Oswald.”

Whistleblower reveals CIA boasted about deceiving Congress in JFK assassination probe

Posted on by

Now, a former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)-Department of State historian has come forward with explosive claims that the agency deliberately misled congressional investigators—and even bragged about it in an internal report.

Thomas Pearcy, now a history professor at Slippery Rock University, told Axios that while working in a secure CIA facility in 2009, he stumbled upon a classified inspector general’s report detailing how intelligence officials misled the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) during its late-1970s probe into Kennedy’s murder.

The document allegedly contained a 1978 memo in which a CIA officer boasted about presenting sanitized files to HSCA chief counsel Robert Blakey, obscuring key details about Oswald’s activities in Mexico City weeks before the assassination.

A deliberate cover-up?

Pearcy described the report as a “blueprint of a cover-up, how to lie to Congress and the American people.” According to his account, CIA officers provided Blakey with heavily redacted versions of investigative files from the agency’s Mexico City Station, where Oswald had visited the Cuban and Soviet embassies in September 1963. The originals allegedly contained surveillance photos and film, which the CIA has long denied possessing.
