Check out this interesting lecture/power point presentation by Lisa Pease on James Jesus Angleton and The Warren Commission. Angelton was chief of the Central Intelligence Agency’s (CIA) counter-intelligence (CI) staff, Associate Deputy Director of Operations for Counter-Intelligence/ADDOCI.
Pease also has a two part detailed analysis of the topic here and here.
She alludes to the crucial relationship between the CIA and the media (Operation Mockingbird) when discussing Angelton’s Machiavellian nexus of covert and overt of influence within and without the Agency. Speculation regarding Angelton’s ongoing critical involvement with intelligence asset Lee Harvey Oswald years before the brutal murder and coup d’état of President John F. Kennedy on the November 22, 1963 by the top echelon of the National Security State, and his subsequent relationship with the Warren Commission, has intrigued researchers and historians.
For over five decades we have lived in the opaque shadows created by Angelton’s wilderness of mirrors regarding these matters. Perhaps we will soon find some definitive resolution to many of these questions in David Tabot’s eagerly awaited, forthcoming book, The Devil’s Chessboard: Allen Dulles, the CIA, and the Rise of America’s Secret Government, slated for release October 13, 2015.
