Angleton, Mossad, the Mob, and CIA "Cuban Business" - Part 1 (DCC77)

This episode features a presentation based on my recent article, “James Angleton, Mossad, the Syndicate, and the CIA’s 'Cuban Business'.” About a year ago I discovered a page in James Angleton’s 1975 Church Committee testimony that the CIA tried to hide by deleting in subsequent releases. The 86ed page—which happened to be page 86—shows that CIA counterintelligence chief James Angleton did not tell CIA director John McCone that, in order to bypass the entire CIA, Angleton was using a Mossad officer as an operational agent for anti-Castro operations in Cuba. The outcome was that there was very little paper trail at the Agency when it came to the details of Angleton’s mobbed-up “Cuban business”—especially the assassination apparatus which many JFK assassination researchers believe was later redirected at President Kennedy.
