Declassified cables show that several allied intelligence agencies were informed about Oswald-and the official version-within hours of JFK’s death.
🚨 Word Spreads Too Fast
The U.S. government struggled to form a narrative in the wake of the assassination.
And yet, new 2025 files show that foreign intelligence partners were being briefed on Oswald’s profile-before the FBI or Warren Commission had finalized it.
The story was being shaped, globally, within hours.
📁 UK: MI6 Got the Memo Early
A cable from CIA London Station to Langley, timestamped Nov. 23, 1963 – 04:08 GMT, reads:
“Have informed SIS [MI6] of suspect’s prior defection, Mexico City contacts, Cuba linkage. Request formal alignment with public narrative once defined.”
The shocking part?
The Warren Commission wasn’t even formed yet.
An MI6 memo, declassified in tandem with U.S. files, notes:
“US position appears firm re: lone gunman theory. No deviation suggested.”
That was 16 hours after the shooting.
📞 Mossad Cable: “Oswald Being Contained”
A CIA-Mossad liaison report dated Nov. 24-before Oswald was even dead-includes:
“Oswald believed to have acted alone. Narrative containment advised. Local media exposure discouraged.”
What’s “narrative containment” doing in a foreign intelligence brief?
Clearly, the goal wasn’t just clarity-it was control.
🧠 West Germany: Concern Over Oswald’s Stasi Shadow
Files from CIA’s Frankfurt base reveal West German intel had long been concerned with Oswald’s potential contact with Soviet-backed operatives in Berlin.
A November 25 communique from the BND (German Federal Intelligence) asks bluntly:
“Was he handled or simply unstable? Request access to intercept logs.”
The CIA response?
“Logs unavailable. Situation under consolidation.”
“Consolidation”-not “investigation.”
🔥 Why the Rush to Coordinate?
The 2025 documents make it clear:
- There was an international messaging campaign
- It prioritized speed over certainty
- It established the lone gunman theory before any independent probe
A CIA memo to the State Department sums it up:
“Public calm depends on global cohesion. Allies must reinforce narrative consistency.”
🔚 Not Just an American Cover-Up
The JFK assassination wasn’t just a national trauma-it was a geopolitical crisis.
And the story told to the American people?
It was already being delivered to allies before the autopsy was even complete.
The 2025 files show: the cover-up wasn’t internal.
It was international policy.
