Firebrand Robert Montenegro, over at the so-called JFK Assassination Debate - Education Forum, no doubt still grieving over the murder of his brother, seems to think Heinrich "Gestapo" Mueller died at the end of WW II, that "fascistic" James Angleton therefore came to control thousands of Nazi war criminals and former spies for his own nefarious purposes, that Angleton masterminded the JFKA through the ZRRIFLE program, that Angleton was helped by his "subordinate," Tennent H. Bagley ("who must have known everything about Oswald's defection to the USSR"), and that their involvement in the assassination was hidden by JFKA conspiracy theorist John M. Newman when he was at NSA (and who dedicated his 2022 book "Uncovering Popov's Mole" to Bagley).
It's interesting that Montenegro doesn't mention his true reason for despising Newman -- the fact that Newman . . . gasp . . . no longer believes Angleton masterminded the assassination (but that some high-level U.S. Army officers killed JFK because he refused to nuke Moscow and Peking in 1963!), and has swallowed everything Bagley (R.I.P.) wrote and everything Bagley told JFKA CT Malcolm Blunt (they became friends in 2008 and shortly afterwards Blunt showed "Pete" some FOIA CIA docs that he hadn't been privy to in 1959-60 and 1978).
Having read Bagley's Spy Wars, "Ghosts of the Spy Wars," and Spy Master, and having received indirect input from Bagley via researcher Blunt, Newman now correctly believes that Yuri Nosenko was a false-defector-in-place-in-Geneva-in-June-1962 and a false-physical-defector-to-the-U.S.-in-February-1964 (I personally think he was a rogue defector in 1964 whose bona fides the KGB had no choice but to support because he was telling the CIA and the FBI that it had absolutely nothing to do with Oswald in the USSR), and that Angleton's confidant, mentor and mole-hunting superior, Bruce Leonard Solie, was probably a KGB "mole."
The backbiting and fractiousness of the tinfoil-hat JFKA CT "community" is fascinating.
PS Angleton and Bagley worked in different parts of the CIA, so Montenegro is wrong when he says Angleton was Bagley's boss.
