JFK The Enduring Secret

Following our prelude, Episode 2 steps back into the dust bowl era to explore the origins of our protagonists, Milton "Doc" Noss and his steadfast wife, Ova "Babe" Noss. Based on the exhaustively documented, decades-long research of investigative author John Clarence (the pen name of Jack Staley), this episode delves into Doc’s complex past as a part-Cheyenne foot doctor whose...

Join me in the greatest wander yet on JFK The Enduring Secret. In one of the most unlikely of story tells, we explore an extraordinary event  that crosses a path with President Kennedy and more importantly, with Lyndon Johnson too.  To understand it's meaning, you must understand it's context. And so, I'm pleased to announce that our  explosive new mini-series uncovering the greates...

In the thrilling finale of our Merkers Mine series, we confront the uncomfortable arithmetic of the Third Reich's stolen wealth. While the Allies recovered an astonishing 250 tons of gold at Merkers, hundreds of millions of dollars in looted Nazi gold remain completely unaccounted for to this day. Could a portion of this missing fortune have ended up deep inside a desert mountain in southern...

 In Part 2 of our Merkers Mine mini-series, the secret is out. On April 8, 1945, General George S. Patton learns that his advancing Third Army has stumbled upon the captured gold reserves of the Third Reich. But Patton being Patton, his first instinct isn't to hand it over to the bureaucrats. He orders a strict press blackout, surrounds the mine with tanks, and pitches audacious, off-the-book...

In Part 3 of our Merkers Mine series, the clock is ticking. Under the Yalta agreements, the region containing the mine is slated to be handed over to Soviet control. Every gold bar, suitcase of SS loot, and priceless work of art must be moved to the American zone immediately. Enter Lieutenant George Stout, America’s premier art conservation expert, and the legendary "Monuments Men." Desc...

In this highly anticipated first episode of our new series, we hit pause on the Noss/Victorio Peak legal battles (episodes you have NOT heard yet)  to ask a chilling question: What if some portion of the gold hidden inside that New Mexico mountain has a completely different, far darker origin? What if the mysterious bars found at Victorio Peak weren't Spanish colonial gold or Apache plunder,...

Faithful listeners of the podcast know it has been several months since our last regular episode, but this hiatus was for a very good reason. Behind the scenes, I have  been collaborating with John Clarence, the premier researcher on the Noss/Victorio Peak Gold Story, to develop an expansive new podcast series on that topic. You might be wondering why a JFK podcast is pivoting to a story about bur...
