Dan Hardway Testifies: JFK Investigator to Rep. Luna's Task Force
How George Joannides and the CIA obstructed his assassination investigation
On May 20, 2025, Dan Hardway, former JFK investigator spoke the House Task Force on Declassification of Federal Secrets about how the CIA’s George Joannides obstructed his investigation into what the CIA knew about Lee Harvey Oswald before President Kennedy’s assassination.
That Joannides presented himself to the US House Select Committee on Assassinations as wholly unaware of his own actions as the director and financier of the Directorio Revolucionario Estudantil (DRE), or Student Revolutionary Directorate (a group of Cuban exiles whose officers had contact with Lee Harvey Oswald in the months before the assassination), and performed such obstruction at the express direction of the CIA leadership to coverup the CIA's actions to frame Oswald, speaks volumes not just of the CIA's complicity in the assassination, but also how to this day, the Agency is unwilling to reveal just how deeply involved they were.
That the Agency still withholds records detailing Joannides pre-assassination connections with Oswald shows nothing has changed: the CIA is (somewhat understandably) unwilling to reveal that they had a top-level, coordinated set-up of Oswald in place beginning with his first year in the Marines in 1959. This continuing coverup, combined with the destruction of Secret Service files pertaining to JFK's trips, along with the immediate "cleaning" of the presidential limousine (which was technically a crime scene) as well as the replacement of its windshield, and the absolutely criminal autopsy performed at Bethesda, complete with falsified photos, provides clear evidence not just that this was a coup involving multiple agencies, but that those agencies still maintain its false narrative to this day.
I did not know that Alexis Coe was at the hearing urging everyone to not pay any attention to the rest of the testimonies. Where do I sign up for that job? I'll happily be a "in the grand scheme of things this doesn't matter" guy for any Congressional hearing, any subject, anytime.
