Jefferson Morley: We Are Still Waiting

[Benjamin Cole]

In an article published March 21 2025, by magazine Vanity Fair, JFKA researcher made this statement:

For his part, Morley, after reviewing the latest documents released, now believes that there is sufficient evidence to conclude definitively that the CIA had a role in JFK’s murder. He asserted, “A small clique in CIA counterintelligence was responsible for JFK’s assassination.”

He promised to back up his claim with documents from the recent batch and explanatory articles on his JFK Facts Substack.

Well? I suppose we can dance around the word "responsible." Semantics. To the layman, that suggests an element within the CIA planned and effected the JFKA, or knew of a potent plan to do that, and sat by idle.

But where is the evidence that a small clique in the CIA put some people on the ground in Dallas on 11.22.63, and they either assisted, or framed, LHO in the JFKA?

There is evidence there was animosity inside the CIA towards JFK for the Bay of Pigs, and also for sacking the Diems in 11.63 (the brothers were brutally murdered in South Vietnam in a Kennedy Administration-financed coup. The CIA station in SV backed the Diems, but were overruled by JFK).

The Cuban exile community had many members who were deeply angered by the BoP, and said so in recorded video and tapes.

But...suspicions are a mile from having information that would compel someone to say, "A group within the CIA arranged for these two men, X and XX, to go to Dallas to help LHO wax JFK. I believe this beyond reasonable doubt."

It appears the CIA and domestic agencies were monitoring LHO in 1963---given his background and activities, I would expect that. It may even be they let him be "to see where he leads." Maybe they planned to use him in some capacity, if possible.

One must remember that at all times, these agencies have many fish to fry.

In 11.22, there was no indication LHO was dangerous, since the Walker shooting had not generated any leads.

It may also be that Russian mole Bruce Solie was gumming up the works inside the CIA re LHO.

In fact, there is evidence LHO was or had been a KGB asset, and was friendly with G2.

If Morley has backed up his statement, I am all ears, and will stand corrected.

Maybe he needs to confer with Vladimir Putin, first.

But, Jefferson Morley has suggested Mossad was tight with Angleton, and wanted JFK out of the picture as the president opposed Israel's nuke program....so you know, Mossad is a serious suspect in the JFKA...

Just connect the dots...

Just connect the dots.

Angleton, whose confidant, mentor, and mole-hunting superior, Bruce Solie, was probably a KGB mole, had the Israeli Account and was tight with MOSSAD.

That doesn't necessarily mean, however, that MOSSAD and/or Angleton killed JFK, despite what John M. Newman believed in 2008 before he'd read Tennet H. Bagley's 2007 book, Spy Wars: Moles, Mysteries, and Deadly Games (which you can STILL read for free by googling "spy wars" and "archive" simultaneously).

TG;

There was no formal Israel desk inside the CIA.

Angleton handled some affairs with the Vatican and Israel. There could have been others, I have never researched that. 

The CIA was tight with the Vatican for decades after WWII. There have been some interesting articles about that.

The Vatican, JFK and Francis Cardinal Spellman were central to US involvement in Vietnam.
