Finally, The CIA Admits Covering Up JFK Assassination

by Counter Current News Editorial Team

"Even if you have to wait over 50 years, eventually the truth will out…

Suspicions that the CIA covered up JFKs murder have finally been confirmed, according to an explosive Politicoreport out this week. Fifty-two years after the President's death, declassified documents show that the CIA were in communication with alleged assassin Lee Harvey Oswald before JFK's murder in 1963, and they were monitoring his mail since 1959.

Not only that but John McCone, who was Chief of the CIA at the time, allegedly hid evidence from the Warren commission, set up by Lyndon Johnson to investigate JFK's assassination. The spymaster and other senior CIA officials are accused of withholding incendiary' information from the commission and therefore perverting the course of justice. The CIA has admitted this.

The Politico report is based on evidence given by CIA historian David Robarge. He has claimed the cover-up was intended to keep the commission focused on "what the agency believed at the time was the best truth- that Lee Harvey Oswald, for as yet undetermined motives, had acted alone in killing John Kennedy." McCone directed the CIA to provide only "passive, reactive and selective" assistance to the Warren commission, meaning the investigation was severely compromised and did not follow up any other leads which may have been crucial in the search for truth.

Robarge also believes that John McCone, who died in 1991, withheld vital information relating to various CIA plots to assassinate Fidel Castro. The historian points out that these plots may well be linked to JFKs assassination there's a strong chance his murder was a revenge attack for CIA operations in Cuba- but McCone's unwillingness to explore other potentialities outside of prime suspect Lee Harvey Oswald could have resulted in a grave miscarriage of justice.

JFK was America's youngest ever and most charismatic President, and his death shocked the nation. Alternative murder theories are popular across the States: A 2013 poll found that only 30% of Americans believe Oswald shot JFK, and that he acted alone. 61% believed that others were involved in a conspiracy (see the embedded video to find out why).

David Robarge first published these exclusive claims in a secret internal CIA magazine in 2013. His claims have now been declassified and can be publicly accessed here on the George Washington University's National Security Archive. Robarge has also written a biography of John McCone, but his book continues to be classified. What else might the historian have uncovered? Here's hoping that the full truth of what happened in Dealy Plaza on that fateful day will very soon be common knowledge.

Am I missing something here? Or, did the CIA really "admit" covering up the assassination? SMH...

They left out Frank Sinatra and Aliens, you know, little green men, Jackie and John Connally too believe it or not.

This is a year-old article from Philip Shenon, who basically supports the official story and argues that the CIA and FBI engaged in a "benign cover-up" because they were monitoring Oswald in Mexico City, and didn't notify the Secret Service.

It's an interesting question, and one Americans have every right to keep asking as JFK's death was an assault on American democracy.

I think the public would have largely accepted the lone gunman theory by now if it weren't for RFK's assassination when he was on the brink of reaching the office on his own and checking things out himself.

It seems the Kennedys were on good social terms with a lot of the CIA people like the Meyers, Angletons, etc. With the exception of some of the special ops paramilitary people, the CIA was full of elite academics who had an enlightened international outlook to the extent that was possible at the time. If I was an oddsmaker, the military-industrial establishment would be above one percent, and the CIA would be lower.

No doubt there were a lot of people back then who distrusted him for his Catholicism, support of the nascent civil rights movement, skepticism of the military-industrial agenda, agreement not to invade Cuba and so forth. Not sure how British Intelligence felt about him...he was Irish Catholic, but on the other hand his father was an ambassador to the UK.

I'd be very disappointed if the government doesn't know everything on some level with appropriate consequences for those involved.

Wow. I can think of a lot of ways to describe the mind sets of people like Dulles, Helms, Angleton, Harvey, etc. but having an "enlightened international outlook" would not be one of them.

"Someone would have talked," goes the old refrain. In the case of some CIA officers and others associated with the Agency, they did talk. But who's listening?

Best statement I've read probably in years. I suppose it's a lot more fun to create the plots as we go along, it's what helps new authors as well as old to bore their theories, birth their opinions, and be recognized as, "I'm the author of that book," maybe?

Truth, use to hold a value and had a meaning, evidence, use to be considered, but is now omitted.

If I was to write a historical fiction novel about the Kennedy assassination, inventing the most feasible plot within the "inside job" subset of theories, it would be along the lines that a highly placed group of insiders became convinced that JFK was a British agent of influence, with the catalyzing event being the lack of support for the Bay of Pigs invasion. Their suspicions would have been predicated on the family connections to the British Commonwealth, from the money made during the rum running days, the subsequent successful investing, the ambassadorship in London and so forth. They thought it fit the classic pattern of an agent of influence.

I'd have people unconnected to the intellectual CIA types from Harvard and Yale (who liked the British better than the unwashed military types anyway) doing the dirty work. I'd do it in Texas to suggest Johnson supporters were involved, and work in people connected with Cuba and the Soviet Union. I'd have a Jew knock off the assassin just to insert that angle. I'd make up a scandalous alternative narrative to prevent his Georgetown CIA friends from publicly asking questions, such as that JFK went too far with his sexual appetites, an angry father, jealous husband or cuckolded mob figure did him in and that it was being hushed up for the good of the family and the nation.

I'd work "American royalty" into the plot as an oblique reference by spooks who had a tongue in cheek sense of humor. I'd work the lack of public disclosure into the plot as protecting the alliance. I'd work uncertainty into the plot, with the possibility that hard-ass military types from the South and Midwest imagined things that didn't exist because of their contempt and suspicion for the intellectual Northeastern elite (think Alger Hiss) and their ties across the Atlantic. I'd work the misfortunes of other Kennedys over the years into the plot as dirty tricks to keep them glorified but remote from the levers of power. One hand lifts them up, while the other one keeps them marginalized.

It could be a great book if I had the talent to write it and could find a publisher!

I'm sure the American plotters knew Britain had nothing to do with it and it was the obvious interests of Allen Dulles and the anti-communist underground that were directly involved along with the interests of the East Coast Establishment.
