A new batch of 40 documents released on the CIA website’s FOIA Reading Room page includes a fascinating January 17, 1963 memo instructing agent George Joannides to take on the alias Howard Mark Gebler.

 

๐ŸŒ ‘Gebler’ was known to have run a CIA front known as the Cuban Student Directorate, an anti-Castro group headquartered in Miami, financed by the agency to the tune of $25,000 a month, and maintaining regular contact with Lee Harvey Oswald via its New Orleans chapter.

๐ŸŒ In 1963, Joannides was also deputy chief of the CIA’s covert operations and intelligence gathering station in Miami, known as JMWAVE, responsible for “all aspects of political action and psychological warfare.”

๐ŸŒ Following JFK’s November 1963 shooting, the Cuban Student Directorate ran a propaganda campaign claiming Oswald killed the president on the Cuban government’s orders – echoing aspects of Operation Northwoods – a proposed DoD/CIA false flag op to stage acts of terror on US soil and blame it on Cuba to justify an invasion.

๐Ÿ“น The new document confirms that Gebler was Joannides – the first time the CIA has ever tacitly admitted such a connection.

 

 

But wait, there’s more... !

In 1976, Joannides was tapped to serve as CIA special liaison to the House Select Committee on Assassinations, effectively acting as gatekeeper to information and files passed from the CIA to Congress for study.

Joannides personally assured committee chief counsel Robert Blakey the agency “could find no record” on Howard Gebler, but promised to “keep looking.”

Joannides was awarded the CIA’s Career Intelligence Medal in 1981, and died in 1990.
