    Dark Journalist | JFK Joannides & The UFO File | July 6, 2025

    Source: darkjournalist.com



    Description:

    Dark Journalist Daniel Liszt exclusive report:

    JFK Joannides and the UFO filebombshell new evidence reveals cia role in the assassination of president John F. Kennedy through top psychological warfare officer George Joannides. The plan to stop president Kennedy from revealing the UFO file with physicist Lloyd Berkner at the dallas trade mart...!

    ---

    Exclusive Summary


    Detailed Summary of "Dark Journalist: JFK, Joannides & The UFO File"

    The following is a detailed summary of a live episode of the Dark Journalist show, hosted by Daniel Liszt with co-host Olivia, discussing the recent partial release of CIA officer George Joannides’ files. The episode connects these files to the JFK assassination and UFO secrecy, framing the event as a deep state operation tied to exotic technology. Here’s a breakdown of the key themes, evidence, and arguments presented.

    1. Introduction: Joannides Files Breakthrough
    • Historic Release: Approximately 40 documents from George Joannides’ CIA files confirm the agency’s pre-assassination contact with Lee Harvey Oswald via the anti-Castro Cuban group Directorio Revolucionario Estudiantil (DRE). This contradicts the Warren Commission’s lone gunman narrative, exposing a 62-year CIA cover-up.
    • Significance: Host Daniel Liszt calls for removing the Warren Commission’s findings from educational curricula, citing this as evidence of CIA obfuscation. The files reveal Joannides, a top psychological warfare officer, orchestrated efforts to frame Oswald as a pro-Castro zealot, indicating CIA foreknowledge of the 1963 assassination.
    • Central Thesis: The assassination was a deep state operation to eliminate JFK due to his intent to disclose UFO-related exotic technology, with Joannides playing a pivotal role in setting up Oswald as the patsy.

    2. Joannides’ Role and CIA Manipulation
    • Joannides’ Background: Born in Greece, raised in New York, Joannides rose through CIA ranks, working at the JMWAVE station in Miami under Theodore Shackley and Richard Helms. He was a key figure in psychological warfare, funding the DRE to portray Oswald as a communist.
    • Oswald Setup: Joannides crafted the “Oswald legend” by staging events like Oswald’s alleged Mexico City embassy visits, likely using an impostor to create a false communist persona. This suggests premeditation in the assassination plot.
    • Cover-Up Efforts: In the 1970s, Joannides was recalled from retirement to mislead the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA), concealing CIA-Oswald ties. His efforts earned him a rare Career Intelligence Medal, likely for protecting agency secrets.
    • File Suppression: The CIA withheld Joannides’ records for decades, with partial releases in 2025 prompted by Trump’s executive order. Liszt argues the agency avoids disclosing aerospace/UFO documents central to the assassination motive.

    3. Oswald’s Manipulation and Aerospace Links
    • Patsy Operation: The files confirm CIA contact with Oswald through the DRE, with evidence like Sylvia Duran’s testimony about an Oswald impostor in Mexico City suggesting the use of doubles to build his legend.
    • Aerospace Connection: Oswald worked under Guy Banister, a right-wing operative who created a UFO file for the FBI, placing Oswald in the aerospace-intelligence nexus. Liszt suggests this ties to the broader UFO secrecy motive.
    • Oswald Doubles: Sergeant Robert Vincent’s account of seeing an Oswald double on a flight diverted to Roswell Air Force Base on November 22, 1963, indicates a sophisticated CIA operation linked to UFO secrecy hubs.

    4. UFO File as Assassination Motive
    • JFK’s UFO Push: Liszt argues JFK’s assassination stemmed from his intent to disclose UFO-related technology and unify the space program, threatening a covert CIA-aerospace group (“X-Protect”). He was set to meet physicist Lloyd Berkner in Dallas to discuss a major announcement, possibly UFO-related.
    • Lloyd Berkner’s Role: Berkner led the 1952 Robertson Panel to downplay UFOs and was involved in Antarctic expeditions and the International Geophysical Year. A 1960 car accident killing an engineer and injuring Berkner’s family is suggested as a warning to suppress UFO disclosures.
    • NASA and Secret Space Program: JFK’s efforts to prevent a bifurcated space program (public NASA vs. covert military/CIA) clashed with CIA interests in controlling exotic technology.
    • Bobby Inman’s Involvement: Former NSA and CIA Deputy Director Inman, who has spoken on UFOs, is linked to Joannides via the intelligence medal. Liszt calls for subpoenaing Inman to reveal UFO and assassination connections.

    5. Congressional Investigations and Declassification
    • Luna-Burchett Committee: This congressional task force is tasked with declassifying JFK, RFK, and UFO documents. Liszt urges it to focus on aerospace/UFO links, planning to send a letter with recommendations.
    • CIA Obfuscation: The CIA claims UFO/aerospace records are irrelevant to the assassination, allowing them to withhold critical documents. Liszt advocates demanding all 1961–1963 aerospace records to break this gridlock.
    • Historical Precedents: The Warren Commission (1964) and HSCA (1979) were misled by CIA figures like Allen Dulles and Joannides, who controlled intelligence leads to protect the agency.

    6. Deep State and Media Dynamics
    • Deep Events: Drawing on Peter Dale Scott’s work, Liszt frames the assassination as a “deep event” alongside Roswell, Watergate, and 9/11, where covert groups manipulate policy through crises. The UFO file is key to understanding these events.
    • Media Manipulation: A 1976 Washington Post article identified a CIA agent tracking Oswald but was obfuscated, showing the agency’s control over narratives. Modern CIA tactics involve co-opting UFO discussions via figures like Jim Semivan.
    • Public Perception: Despite CIA efforts, the public never fully accepted the lone gunman narrative, sensing a deeper conspiracy. The Joannides files’ release is a crack in the secrecy wall, driven by independent research.

    7. Supporting Evidence
    • Joannides Files: Confirm CIA-Oswald contact via DRE, released in 2025.
    • David Atlee Phillips’ Manuscript: Admits handling Oswald for a Castro assassination plot, repurposed for JFK.
    • Sylvia Duran’s Testimony: Describes an Oswald impostor in Mexico City, supported by faulty CIA surveillance.
    • Sergeant Robert Vincent: Saw an Oswald double on a flight to Roswell in 1963.
    • Deputy Boone: Found the Texas School Book Depository rifle and later managed the Roswell crash site ranch.
    • Lloyd Berkner’s Records: Link him to UFO research and JFK’s space plans, with a suspicious 1960 accident.
    • Peter Dale Scott: Notes falsified Oswald documentation to frame him as a KGB assassin, pressuring the Warren Commission.

    8. Call to Action and Community Engagement
    • Congressional Push: Liszt urges the Luna-Burchett committee to subpoena Inman and demand aerospace/UFO records to uncover the assassination’s true motive.
    • Public Role: Encourages viewers to join the Dark Journalist newsletter to combat censorship and support research, citing documentaries like JFK: The Final Speech and Roswell Reignited.
    • Audience Q&A: Addresses questions on Oswald doubles, Phillips’ role, and the necessity of UFO disclosure for JFK truth, emphasizing their inseparability.

    9. Conclusion
    The partial release of Joannides’ files is a triumph, confirming CIA-Oswald ties, but Liszt stresses it’s only a step toward exposing the agency’s role in JFK’s assassination and UFO secrecy. The episode frames the assassination as a deep state operation to protect exotic technology, involving figures like Joannides, Banister, Inman, and Berkner. By pursuing aerospace and UFO angles, the Luna-Burchett committee could unravel the truth, supported by ongoing independent research and public discourse.

    Paul Stonehill | Mysteries of Lake Baikal : Enigmatic Olkhon Island | July 8, 2025

    Source: Paul Stonehill youtube



    Description:

    Paul Stonehill discusses the mysterious phenomena surrounding Olkhon Island, located in Lake Baikal, Russia, with a focus on its cultural, spiritual, and natural significance. In 2019, tourists on Olkhon Island, one of the largest islands in Lake Baikal situated in the Irkutsk region, reported hearing strange voices addressing them by name, attempting to convey messages.

    This prompted a scientific expedition equipped with sensitive recording devices to investigate these claims. However, the researchers abruptly abandoned their study and left the island without providing any explanations, fueling speculation about whether the tourists' reports were genuine or if they encountered something inexplicable.

    Olkhon Island is steeped in mystique, with longstanding rumors of strange sounds and voices reported by unrelated individuals. The island holds profound spiritual significance for the Buryat people, who consider it a sacred place inhabited by the spirits of their ancestors. Local legends describe powerful spirits, such as Khan Hoto Baba, a divine figure sent by higher gods to protect the land, who descended to Olkhon as a white-headed golden eagle.

    His son, Hanuayon, is believed to be the first shaman gifted by Tangri, the supreme sky deity. Another figure, Ain or Burhan, the guardian spirit of the island, is said to reside in the Shamanka rock cave, protecting those with pure intentions. The island’s highest peak, Mount Iime (1,274 meters above sea level), is also sacred, with myths of an immortal bear chained at its base, symbolizing nature’s strength and the cycle of life and death.

    Paulsuggests that the reported voices might be natural phenomena, such as acoustic effects caused by the island’s unique landscape and climate, a phenomenon observed in other distinctive natural settings like mountains or coasts. Olkhon’s allure lies in its blend of mythology, nature, and human experience, attracting researchers and tourists eager to explore its mysteries.

    The island is a hub for Buryat shamanic traditions, with rituals aimed at harmonizing human relationships with nature and spirits. These practices draw both locals and tourists interested in experiencing ancient Buryat culture.Olkhon, covering approximately 730 square kilometers, features diverse landscapes, including sand dunes, steppes, coniferous forests, rocky shores, and Siberian taiga.

    Despite its harsh winters, it is rarely cloudy and hosts fewer than 2,000 residents but attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists annually. The island, part of the Baikal National Park, a protected federal area, contains restricted zones off-limits to tourists. It is also rich in archaeological sites from the Neolithic era, considered a “place of power” with strong mystical energy, where visitors report not only voices but also visions.Buryat traditions include “serge” ritual horse pillars, believed to concentrate mystical energy and inhabited by spirits.

    Who decides the reincarnation of a senior Tibetan lama-the Buddha, the monasteries, or the state?

    In recent years, and even in recent days, the 14th Dalai Lama has made a series of striking public statements about his next life, including the possibility of being reborn as a woman, a bee, or not at all. These claims have stirred global media attention-but do they align with centuries of religious tradition and precedent?

    I am a historian on China and a scholar of international relations. 15 years ago, while studying at Cornell, I devoted an entire semester in a 4000-level seminar to the study of Xizang, or Tibet. In 2018, I traveled to Xizang in person-from Lhasa to Shigatse, and onward to the Everest Base Camp-conducting field research on Tibetan religion, history, and contemporary society,
    although my physical condition is not well-suited to low-oxygen environments. Over the years, I have also maintained contact and constructive dialogue with many of China's leading experts on Tibetan studies.

    As a scholar, I seek to continue in my tradition of objective, evidence-based inquiry. My aim is to provide a clear and well-documented explanation of what the reincarnated "Living Buddha" system in Tibetan Buddhism actually entails, and whether the Dalai Lama's poetic, progressive claims align with doctrinal teachings and historical precedent. Though the topic is intricate, I will strive to present it in a manner that is accessible yet substantive, so that you can return to the facts themselves and form you own informed judgments.

    The concept of the Reincarnated Living Buddha is a highly distinctive phenomenon that emerged after Buddhism was transmitted into Tibet. According to Buddhist belief, individuals undergo cycles of rebirth; after death, the soul continues its journey by reincarnating in a new body. When a spiritual leader passes away, a ritual process is undertaken to identify potential successors. Among these, one child, after being recognized, is deemed the reincarnation of the previous master and inherits not only the title but also the religious and, at times, political authority attached.

    During the Yuan dynasty (1271–1368), Tibet came under the administration of the central Chinese government for the first time. The 3rd Karmapa, Rangjung Dorje, born in 1284, is considered the first reincarnated Living Buddha in Tibet. This practice was soon emulated across various Tibetan Buddhist sects. In the Qing dynasty (1644–1911), the Dalai Lama and the Panchen Lama, who served as the top religious figures in Xizang, also established their legitimacy through the reincarnation system.

    Take the Dalai Lama as an example. During the Ming dynasty (1368–1644), Xizang was fragmented, and leaders of different sects took pride in being officially recognized by the Ming emperors. The Ming court, for its part, adopted a relatively loose model of indirect rule over Xizang. The 5th Dalai Lama, still regarded as the most powerful Dalai Lama in Tibetan history, successfully unified Tibet and established a theocratic government. Around this time, the newly established Qing emperor Shunzhi (顺治) extended several invitations to the Dalai Lama to visit the imperial court. In my view, motivated by a range of strategic considerations, including a desire for the protection of the central government, the 5th Dalai Lama ultimately spent nine month travelling to Beijing. He met Shunzhi in 1653, when the Dalai Lama was 36 years old and the emperor 15.

    Some have cited murals in Xizang that depict the Dalai Lama and Shunzhi seated side-by-side and roughly equal in size, interpreting this as evidence of an "equal" meeting between the two. I find this interpretation unconvincing. First, the Dalai Lama received multiple official titles from the Shunzhi Emperor during his stay in Beijing. Second, archival records clearly indicate that at their first meeting, Shunzhi was seated in the center while the Dalai Lama was positioned to the side at a lower level. When the emperor offered him tea, the Dalai Lama declined by saying "how dare I", signaling clear awareness of hierarchy. Third, the visual portrayal of the two figures at the same scale is likely an artistic convention or perhaps a reflection of Shunzhi's young age at the time, not reliable evidence of equal status.

    The 6th Dalai Lama was summoned to Beijing for failing to seek timely approval from the central government upon assuming his position, as well as for his overly romantic private life. This episode further underscores the central government's authority in the recognition and regulation of reincarnated lamas.

    So, starting with the 5th Dalai Lama, it became established precedent that the reincarnation of Dalai Lama must receive formal approval from the central government. The reincarnation process involves a series of intricate and sacred steps, including:
    Interpretation of omens; Divination consultations; Viewing visions in sacred lakes; Revelatory dreams; On-site investigations; Relic recognition.

    However, due to the emergence of irregularities in certain reincarnation cases, such as favoritism toward relatives and backroom dealings, the Qianlong Emperor introduced a system in 1783 known as the Golden Urn Lot-Drawing System (金瓶掣签). To prevent individuals from manipulation and to preserve the sanctity of the tradition, this system required that when multiple candidates were identified, the final selection would be determined through a lot-drawing ritual held in front of the Buddha statue. This draw was to be conducted in the presence of central government representatives, ensuring both transparency and divine legitimacy. The names of the selected kids, written on ivory slips, were drawn from the Golden Urn, and the chosen name would be reported to the central government for final approval.

    Even in cases where only one candidate was identified, the exemption from the lot-drawing process still required formal approval from the central authorities.

    Historically, the 9th, 13th, and 14th Dalai Lamas were exempted from the golden urn lot-drawing process by special approval of the central government, while the 10th, 11th, and 12th Dalai Lamas were recognized through the golden urn lot-drawing ceremony. In all cases, final confirmation came from the central government. And there has never been a case where the decision was made solely by the reincarnated individual.

    The 14th Dalai Lama has repeatedly made statements regarding his potential reincarnation, such as:
    The next reincarnation could occur in the "free world"
    It could be a woman
    It could even be a bee
    The reincarnation system could be terminated
    Reincarnation is purely an internal affair and should be decided by the himself...

    These remarks fundamentally contradict the centuries-old rituals and institutional norms established within Tibetan Buddhism. And reincarnation is certainly not his personal business-this reflects a broader synthesis of national sovereignty, state authority, religious tradition, and the spiritual trust of the Tibetan people.

    His predecessor, the 13th Dalai Lama, once sought British and Russian support, expelled central govt troops, and treaded dangerously close to separatism. Despite all the terrible records, the recognition of the current 14th Dalai Lama was still completed in 1940 with the participation of representatives dispatched by the central government.

    To use a modern analogy: imagine a US president bypassing a national election, appointing his own replacement, and proclaiming that the successor could be foreign-born, or even an animal, justifying with "Please respect my inspiration."

    Americans would mostly respond with "insane" and "no way."

    In October 1951, at the age of 26, the 14th Dalai Lama wrote to Chairman Mao, expressing his support for the central government. In March 1959, he fled to India, where he has lived ever since. What happened during those eight intervening years? My research suggests that he was treated with considerable respect and accorded extraordinary honors.

    In 1953, he was named Honorary President of the Chinese Buddhist Association, making him the most revered figure in Chinese Buddhism, even before the age of 30. In 1954, he traveled to Beijing with the Panchen Lama, met Chairman Mao for the first time (top left), and participated in the First National People's Congress, where he was elected Vice Chairman of the National People's Congress Standing Committee-a position equivalent to a vice head of state. At just 29 years old, he had already reached the highest level of political and religious authority ever attained by a Tibetan leader.

    As my mentor at the Palace Museum once told me, in preparation for the Dalai Lama's visit to Beijing, the central government even issued a special order authorizing the use of imperial silk from the Forbidden City's storerooms to sew a custom quilt for him. Small details like this speak volumes about the level of ceremonial respect and material privilege he enjoyed.

    Archival records reveal numerous letters sent by Chairman Mao to the 14th Dalai Lama (top right). Here are a few selected excerpts:
    "Under the unified leadership of the Central People's Government, [Xizang] will forever be free from the shackles of imperialism and the oppression of alien peoples, and will stand up to work for the cause of the Tibetan people themselves."
    "I have received your letter dated August 19, 1952, along with your photograph. Your deep affection for the motherland and the Central People's Government, as well as your determination to work for the well-being of both the lay and monastic Tibetan people in all aspects, brings me great comfort. On the road of striving for the interests of our motherland and the Tibetan people, you, Mr. Dalai Lama, along with Mr. Panchen and the Tibetan clergy and laypeople, will always have the support of the CCP and the Central People's Government."
    "Whatever support is needed for building a new Xizang, the central government will do its best to provide, as long as it is within our means. However, due to transportation difficulties, some matters cannot be resolved immediately and shall wait for the future."
    "Today's policy is to protect religion, and the same policy will apply in the future. As for land redistribution in Xizang, it is not under discussion at the moment; whether it should happen in the future is up to you to decide, and if it is to be done, you will do it yourselves-we will not do it on your behalf."
    "It delighted me so much to receive your letter dated July 6, 1955. I often think of you and recall the pleasant times we spent together during your stay in Beijing. When will we meet again? Perhaps in three years, when the Second National People's Congress is held-you may come then…Xizang is progressing. Of course, one should not be impatient; some progress each year is enough. I hope you take good care of your health. Things are going well here. We've made some mistakes, which we are working to criticize and correct. China is a large country, but it is not yet wealthy or strong. We hope that through the joint efforts of all ethnic groups, after a few Five-Year Plans, it will become both prosperous and powerful. Xizang has great potential. May you all continue your good work. I was pleased to receive the fresh Tibetan flowers you included in your letter. I am enclosing one in return for you."
    "Can you read this letter? My handwriting is still quite cursive and hard to change quickly, though perhaps slightly better than last time."

    In his own letters to Mao, Dalai Lama referred to him as "the sun that shines on all" and "a compassionate mother who protects us." After fleeing Tibet, Dalai Lama himself admitted that he felt like "a son to Chairman Mao," recalling how Mao would ask him to sit beside him at meals and personally serve him food.

    The Dalai Lama's flight from China is often framed as a result of "repression," but the historical truth is far more different. At the time, land reform was being carried out in Tibetan-populated areas outside of the Xizang Autonomous Region. Under the previous serfdom system, Tibetan peasants had virtually no status and were often subjected to arbitrary abuse. Before the PLA entered these regions, it was not uncommon for serfs to be tortured or even killed at will, with their skulls fashioned into "ritual instruments."

    These reforms naturally provoked fierce resentment among the Tibetan aristocracy. Yet the Dalai Lama chose to side with a small group of entrenched elites, rather than with the vast majority of ordinary Tibetans, who struggled.

    As we can see, Chairman Mao corresponded with the Dalai Lama on this issue on multiple occasions, and honored his commitment not to initiate reforms immediately within Xizang itself-even though the serfdom system was brutal, unjust, and profoundly regressive. Nevertheless, the Dalai Lama chose to flee in 1959. And it may surprise you, but China retained his position as Vice Chairman of the National People’s Congress until 1964-five years after his departure. Such tolerance toward someone who betrayed is virtually unparalleled anywhere in the world.

    In 2018, I visited the Norbulingka Palace (罗布林卡) on the outskirts of Lhasa, the traditional summer residence of successive Dalai Lamas. It was from here, in 1959, that the 14th Dalai Lama fled China. The villa built specifically for him in 1954 was unbelievably lavish-its furnishings were among the finest available at the time (bottom left and right). To be frank, it was way way way more luxurious than any residence I've seen that belonged to Chairman Mao or Premier Zhou.

    One object in particular stood out: a radio gifted by the central government. I remember standing there with a middle-aged visitor, both of us visibly struck by the quality of the device. I turned to this stranger and asked, "Do you think the Dalai Lama is ungrateful?" He paused in silence for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes."

    The central government did not betray him. On the contrary, it extended respect, resources, and restraint. And yet, regrettably, he chose to defend a deeply unjust social hierarchy, to flee, and to promote narratives about Tibetan independence that have sown misunderstanding abroad and division within Xizang itself.

    In three days, the 14th Dalai Lama will turn ninety. Such an age ought to be marked by wisdom and humility-not by distortion and manipulation. True reverence for religion begins with respect for history and respect for institutional order. That is the most fundamental form of piety.
