CIA expert, investigative journalist and author Jefferson Morley exposes buried truths from the JFK files — from James Jesus Angleton’s illegal surveillance network to MKUltra and the CIA’s enduring power over presidents — in episode 200 of the Far Out with Faust podcast.

A veteran Washington journalist and former editor at The Washington Post, Morley is one of the most respected researchers of CIA history and the JFK assassination. He is the editor of the JFK Facts Substack and the author of multiple acclaimed books, including The Ghost: The Secret Life of CIA Spymaster James Jesus Angleton. His lawsuit against the CIA has unearthed critical documents related to the agency’s knowledge of Lee Harvey Oswald prior to the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

In this episode, Morley unpacks the disturbing legacy of CIA counterintelligence chief James Angleton — from illegal surveillance and foreign entanglements to the agency’s deceptive handling of Oswald. He and Faust explore how MKUltra, Watergate, and decades of covert operations reveal a deeper story: the CIA’s grip on the presidency. Morley also discusses his lawsuit against the agency for the still-classified JFK files — and why the truth about the assassination remains buried after six decades. This conversation confronts the uncomfortable truth: the people meant to protect democracy may have undermined it from within.

Topics include:

• Why Angleton’s surveillance empire operated beyond the law

• The CIA’s secret ties to Israel during JFK’s presidency

• How Angleton deceived the government about Lee Harvey Oswald

• What the JFK files still aren’t telling us — and why

• MKUltra, mind control, and the suspicious death of Frank Olson

• Richard Helms and the CIA’s war on truth

• How Watergate revealed the CIA’s control over Nixon

• Why Morley sued the CIA — and what he uncovered

• What JFK’s peace vision means in today’s war-driven climate

• Bobby Kennedy Jr.’s campaign and the return of antiwar politics

• How public education and community can fight institutional secrecy

… and much more. This is a must-watch for anyone seeking the truth behind the JFK assassination, CIA overreach, and the legacy of secrecy shaping American power.
