The Invisible War Inside America’s Intelligence Empire

Tulsi Gabbard is one of the most unusual and controversial figures ever to ascend to the apex of the American intelligence apparatus. A former Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii, combat veteran, Lieutenant Colonel, and former presidential candidate who publicly broke with her own party over war, surveillance, and the sprawling national security bureaucracy, Gabbard spent years condemning the intelligence establishment before ultimately becoming Director of National Intelligence (DNI) under President Donald Trump. Her appointment alone sent seismic tremors through Washington’s permanent ruling class. Yesterday those tremors erupted into a political earthquake after allegations exploded across Capitol Hill and conservative media that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) had removed highly sensitive files from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) during an escalating confrontation over the declassification of records involving the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and the infamous MKUltra mind control program.

The controversy erupted publicly after reports circulated during Jesse Watters’ broadcast on Fox News on May 13, 2026. Watters stated that CIA personnel had effectively “raided” Gabbard’s office and removed dozens of boxes of classified records reportedly being prepared for public release. According to the claims aired on television and amplified across social media, the records included materials tied to the Kennedy assassination, covert CIA operations, and MKUltra, the notorious Cold War era program in which the agency conducted experiments involving LSD, hypnosis, psychological conditioning, and other forms of behavioral manipulation.

The story detonated instantly because of its staggering implications. Tulsi Gabbard is not merely another cabinet official. As Director of National Intelligence she oversees the broader Intelligence Community, including coordination among the CIA, The National Security Agency (NSA), The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA),and numerous other agencies. For the public to hear allegations that the CIA had entered the orbit of the DNI and removed records under dispute created the appearance of an internal war inside America’s intelligence hierarchy itself.

DNI Gabbard Spox Denies that CIA “Raided” Office to Seize Files Following CIA Whistleblower Testimony

A spokesperson for Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has denied reporting that the CIA raided the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and took files relating to the JFK Assassination and the CIA’s mind control program MKUltra. 

As The Gateway Pundit reported, CIA whistleblower James Erdman III testified during a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing on Wednesday that the CIA “took back 40 boxes of JFK files and MKUltra files being processed for declassification by DNI Gabbard” in what he described as “documented efforts to circumvent oversight.”

This prompted Rep. Anna Paulina Luna and House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer to send a preservation letter to the CIA, demanding that all existing and future records related to the taken items be preserved.

“Docs need to be returned to ODNI given that ODNI was given direction and authority by the President to declass RFK, MLK, & JFK. Regarding MKULTRA, these were documents specifically requested by my Task Force and currently being used for our investigation,” Luna wrote on X.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna Fires off Preservation Letter to CIA After Whistleblower Testifies that CIA Seized MKUltra and JFK Assassination Files from Tulsi Gabbard 

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) and the House Oversight Committee issued a warning and subpoena to the CIA and Director John Ratcliffe on Wednesday. The action came after a whistleblower accused the agency of seizing documents related to the JFK assassination and MKUltra — the CIA’s experimentation on human behavior and mind control through the use of drugs — from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard.

CIA whistleblower James Erdman III testified during a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing earlier that the CIA “took back 40 boxes of JFK files and MKUltra files being processed for declassification by DNI Gabbard” in what he described as “documented efforts to circumvent oversight.”

During an interview with News Nation’s Katie Pavlich following the bombshell testimony, Luna sounded the alarm on the CIA’s alleged refusal to follow President Trump’s executive orders and its aversion to transparency.

CIA Went Rogue, Raided Tulsi’s Office to Seize Papers

A breaking news alert from Fox News, apparently confirmed by a Republican congresswoman, states that the Central Intelligence Agency went rogue, raiding the office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) to seize files.

It seems from the Fox News report that the CIA seized the files just now, though a whistleblower from the agency who testified to Congress today referred to the wrongful seizure of files in his testimony. It is therefore not clear if the raid occurred today or before the testimony, or if there was more than one seizure. In either case, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna is giving the CIA 24 hours to return the files in question or face consequences.

The CIA was allegedly after the files on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and the MK-Ultra human experimentation scandal. The story on the raid is developing but seems to be legitimate, and illustrates the need for drastic cuts in our Deep State. Donald Trump cannot hope to prevent such egregious acts by merely replacing top leadership. The majority of employees at the CIA and FBI worked there during the Biden-era weaponization of justice and believe they are not accountable to Trump or We the People.

DNI Tulsi Gabbard was reportedly in the process of declassifying the JFK and MK-ULTRA files, and it seems the CIA gave us indirect confirmation that there is something in those files that they desperately do not want anyone to know. The problem is that we don’t know if they will be able to destroy the files or not before the Trump administration can get them back. If the raid just occurred and did not happen previously in the last couple of days, it is interesting to note that President Trump was out of the country in China, and therefore unable to be present personally to deal with the situation. Hopefully, Vice President Vance is on the job.

JFK’s personal secretary wrote explosive hidden memo claiming he was murdered in secret US government plot

President John F Kennedy was murdered by enemies within his own government in a ‘political’ hit, according to his long-time personal secretary.

The shocking conclusion was found in a previously unpublished document written by Evelyn Lincoln, who was JFK’s White House gatekeeper, and was sitting in the third car of his motorcade when he was shot.

Her posthumous belief in a conspiracy was unearthed by JFK Facts buried in the JFK Library in Boston.

Jefferson Morley, editor of JFK Facts, and a renowned expert on the assassination, said because Lincoln was so close to Kennedy her thinking may well have reflected how he would have viewed his own assassination. 

He told the Daily Mail: ‘She was a very loyal person. She had turned her mind and her work to him, she served him. And so, yes, I think this thinking does reflect how he would think about this event himself.’

Lincoln died in 1995, aged 85, and is buried in Arlington Cemetery. During her lifetime, she never revealed her true opinion of what lay behind her boss’s death in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963.

But in an 11-page addendum to an unpublished memoir, she laid out in detail the reasons why she believed Lee Harvey Oswald was not the lone gunman.

Instead, she concluded that JFK was the victim of a complex conspiracy planned by elements within the US government.

She wrote: ‘From the catbird seat that I had during my 12 years as John F. Kennedy’s Personal Secretary I would have to say that, in my opinion, President Kennedy’s death in Dallas, Texas, was a deliberate professional political murder, planned by a group in government who wanted him removed from office.’

Kennedy Heir Running For Congress Lists Trust Funds, No Earned Income

Financial disclosure documents tied to congressional candidate Jack Schlossberg show the Kennedy family heir reported no earned income in 2025, while listing four family trust funds as financial assets.

Schlossberg, the only grandson of President John F. Kennedy, is running for the Democratic nomination in New York’s 12th Congressional District, the seat being vacated by longtime Rep. Jerry Nadler.

The disclosure filings, required for federal candidates, offer a glimpse into the finances of one of the country’s most prominent political heirs as he attempts to enter elective office for the first time.

According to the filing highlighted in the report, Schlossberg did not report any “earned income” for 2025, meaning he listed no wages or salary from employment during that year.

Instead, the disclosure lists four separate trust funds tied to the Kennedy family fortune. Trust income is categorized differently from wages or salary under federal financial disclosure rules.

Trust funds are commonly used among wealthy families to hold investments and distribute income to beneficiaries over time.

Financial disclosures submitted by congressional candidates typically list assets, liabilities and income sources, though they often report ranges rather than exact figures.

The Silence Around Israel’s Role in the JFK Documents: What’s Being Protected?

For more than six decades, the official story of John F. Kennedy’s murder has been defined as much by what the government buried as by what it reluctantly disclosed. Yet among the thousands of newly declassified records, one thread stands out for the extraordinary lengths taken to obscure it: the quiet, complicated overlap between CIA counterintelligence chief James Jesus Angleton’s secret Israeli channels and the agency’s surveillance of Lee Harvey Oswald in the years before the assassination.

This is the part of the record that successive investigations tiptoed around, redacted into oblivion, or ignored altogether. Why? Why were references to Israel, its operatives, its cities, even its name, blacked out of Church Committee transcripts and presidential commission files for generations? Why did the government cloak the identities of Angleton’s Israeli contacts with such obsessive care that even today, many pages remain hollowed out by heavy black ink?

The newly opened files sharpen the puzzle. They reveal that Angleton, already notorious for his shadow-world methods, ran a covert Israeli liaison network parallel to official CIA chains of command, precisely at the time he controlled the sensitive 201 surveillance file on Lee Harvey Oswald. That file, kept under tight compartmentalisation, was fed in part by Reuben Efron, the Counterintelligence Staff officer assigned to monitor Oswald’s correspondence. Efron’s own background, his Zionist affiliations, his time in Israel, and his curious, unacknowledged presence at Marina Oswald’s Warren Commission questioning raise further questions about why this corner of the story remained sealed off for so long.

All of this unfolded in a charged political moment. Kennedy, increasingly wary of Israel’s nuclear ambitions at Dimona, was pressing for intrusive inspections and pushing back against a lobby whose influence he believed was growing too fast. And yet, inside his own intelligence services, the man overseeing the Oswald file was simultaneously conducting clandestine intelligence exchanges, assassination-related communications, and off-the-books operations with Israel, relationships he concealed from Congress and perhaps from parts of the CIA itself.

These details do not resolve the mystery of who killed JFK. However, they do illuminate a different mystery, one that speaks to institutional instinct, political pressure, and the fear of explosive geopolitical fallout: Why did the U.S. government decide that the American people should never be privy to this side of the story?

Why was the connection scrubbed so thoroughly that even the existence of redactions became a clue in itself?

How Gabbard’s ‘hunters’ pounced on secret CIA warehouse for Kennedy files

The officials arrived at the secret CIA archival facility in the Washington area one morning in early April. Their mission: to seize still-classified CIA files on the assassinations of Robert F. Kennedy, John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr.

The team pulled up in their vehicles unannounced, catching the spy agency off-guard, three people familiar with the matter told Reuters.

They were acting on behalf of Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who wanted to take documents out of the hands of the Central Intelligence Agency and start the process of declassifying them at the National Archives, the people said.

One of the people familiar with the matter said the CIA wasn’t aware that it was about to receive direction that day “from a higher government agency.” The person also described the moment as probably the most confrontational point in the still young relationship between Gabbard’s office and the CIA.

The official leading the search, a Defense Intelligence Agency official named Paul Allen McDonald II who was on temporary assignment to Gabbard’s office, declared that they were “on a mission” from Gabbard, two of the people said.

A Trump administration official who made a brief appearance that day after arriving in her minivan, Amaryllis Fox Kennedy, was a CIA veteran herself and the daughter-in-law of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. She did not have the necessary badge to access the warehouse but was waved in, the two people said. One said Fox Kennedy spent about an hour there, focusing on efforts to digitize the massive archive of papers.

The early April episode, which has not been previously reported, lasted until 2 a.m. the next morning when a massive trove of documents was eventually transferred to the National Archives, according to two of the people.

The case casts new light on the tension between two forces in Washington, the CIA and Gabbard’s ODNI, as Trump appointees sought to act on the president’s orders to swiftly release the full accounting of Kennedy’s murder in 1963, as well as the high-profile 1968 assassinations of Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr.

White House spokesman Steven Cheung said Trump had full confidence in both Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe. “Efforts by the legacy media to sow internal division are a distraction that will not work,” Cheung said.

A spokesperson for the Director of National Intelligence said the ODNI “has worked in close coordination with the CIA since the beginning of the administration to carry out this historic release of files.”

Trump issued an executive order in January instructing Gabbard and the other intelligence agencies to declassify records related to the JFK, RFK and Martin Luther King Jr. assassinations.

Reuters could not independently determine if Gabbard directed this specific mission at the archives or the extent to which Trump may have been briefed ahead of time about individual missions related to the declassification effort.

The Director of National Intelligence serves as principal intelligence adviser to the president and has oversight over the 17 other agencies, including the CIA. The job typically includes managing interagency tensions.

In a joint statement, Gabbard’s ODNI and the CIA said the two agencies “have and will continue working hand-in-hand to release and declassify documents of public interest and execute President Trump’s mission of restoring trust in the intelligence community.”

CIA ‘boasted’ about tricking Congress in JFK probe – Axios

CIA officials misled the US Congress about the movements of the man accused of killing President John F. Kennedy shortly before the assassination and boasted about doing so, Axios has reported, citing former CIA-State Department historian turned whistleblower Thomas Pearcy.

For decades, activists and researchers have demanded full disclosure of all records related to Kennedy’s killing on November 22, 1963. Many have questioned whether Lee Harvey Oswald, the man charged with the murder, acted alone or was even responsible.

The still-classified document described by Pearcy – in a CIA inspector general’s report – allegedly shows how intelligence officials “routinely have covered up facts and records” about Kennedy’s assassination.

According to the whistleblower, the report functioned as a CIA damage assessment examining how the agency’s reputation had been affected by the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA), which reopened the JFK investigation in the late 1970s.

JFK’s Screwball Grandson and Democrat Candidate for Congress in New York, Jack Schlossberg, Performs Nazi Salute in Now-Deleted Video

Jack Schlossberg, the only grandson of former President John F. ​​Kennedy and a Democrat candidate for Congress in New York’s 12th Congressional District, has become the subject of controversy following the emergence of a now-deleted video in which he performs a Nazi salute.

The footage, originally posted to Schlossberg’s Instagram in January and hastily deleted after going viral, shows the 32-year-old Kennedy scion gleefully mimicking Adolf Hitler’s infamous gesture while mugging for the camera.

“Yo, yo, check this out,” Schlossberg said repeatedly into the camera as he raised his arm in the salute several times.

This incident has surfaced as the unhinged Trump-hating Democrat officially announced his candidacy for the seat being vacated by Representative Jerrold Nadler.

The New York 12th District includes the Upper West Side, the Upper East Side, and Midtown Manhattan. The district’s per capita income is the highest among all districts in the US.

He wrote on Instagram:

“250 years after America was founded, and our country is at a turning point.

It’s a crisis at every level.

A cost of living crisis sponsored by the Big Beautiful Bill. Historic cuts to social programs working families rely on. Health care, education, child care.

It’s a corruption crisis. The President has made almost a billion dollars this year. He’s picking winners and losers from inside the Oval Office. It’s cronyism, not capitalism.

It’s a constitutional crisis with one dangerous man in control of all three branches of government. He’s stripping citizens of their civil rights and silencing his critics.

The worst part is: it doesn’t have to be this way. And it wasn’t, always.

We deserve better, and we can do better, and it starts with the Democratic Party winning back control of the House of Representatives.

With control of Congress, there’s nothing we can’t do. Without it, we’re helpless to a third term.

My name is Jack Schlossberg, and I’m running for Congress to represent my home, New York’s 12th congressional district, where I was born and raised, where I took the bus to school every single day from one side of the district to the other.

This is the best part of the greatest city on Earth. We have the best hospitals and schools, restaurants and museums. This is the financial and media capital of the world.

This district should have a representative who can harness the creativity, energy and drive of this district and translate that into political power in Washington.

I’m not running because I have all the answers to our problems. I’m running because the people of New York 12 do. I want to listen to your struggles, hear your stories, amplify your voice, go to Washington and execute on your behalf.

There is nowhere I’d rather be than in the arena fighting for my hometown. Over the next eight months, during the course of this campaign, I hope to meet as many of you as I can. If you see me on the street, please say hello. If I knock on your door, I hope we can have a conversation. Because politics should be personal.

Thanks more to come soon, and I’ll see you on the trail New York 12.”

JFK’s only grandson was also in another controversy for being critical of his cousin, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. ​Kennedy Jr., calling him a “dangerous person” and a “rabid dog.”
