🎉 Special Guest Episode! It was my pleasure to sit down recently with Dr. Greg Poulgrain, the author of JFK vs. Allen Dulles: Battleground Indonesia . Most Americans have no awareness of the significance of Indonesia in the untimely deaths of both John F. Kennedy and UN Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjöld. The fingerprints not only of intelligence, but of Allen Dulles specifically, are simply in t...

In 1981, David Lifton published Best Evidence , which focuses on JFK's body as the best evidence of what actually happened on November 22nd. However, if that evidence was altered, it's not the best evidence after all. His main thesis is that the evidence used by the Warren Commission and the HSCA was fraudulent, hence, the conclusions from said commissions are also false.  Links: https:/...

As with JFK, discussions of Dag Hammarskjöld so often turn to the mysterious circumstances of his death following a plane crash on September 18, 1961. On my daytime podcast, I talked about Ravi Somaiya's book The Golden Thread and Mads Brügger's truly unique documentary Cold Case Hammarskjöld . In a future episode here, I plan to review Susan Williams' book Who Killed Hammarskjöld ?...

In 2000, Alex Jones released his documentary film Dark Secrets: Inside Bohemian Grove .  Before going in, he interviews a variety of locals in "man on the street" style. One interviewee claims that he was on a cigarette break in the area and was accosted by $ecret $ervice men. So is this true or just figments of wild imaginations? What actually happens in the grainy video footage that Al...

Hypnosis? Jailbirds? Truth serum? Lie detector tests? Psychopathic personalities? Blackmail photos? Bribes? 😬 On June 19, 1967, NBC aired a special titled "The JFK Conspiracy: The Case of Jim Garrison." This is portrayed in Oliver Stone's JFK when Jim Garrison's character says something like, "At least the people watching Laugh In   tonight won't hate me." As hi...

🎉 Special Guest Episode! If you listened to my " Bonus Episode: JFK - The Pleasure of His Company ☘️ " I talked about how I enjoyed Monika Wiesak's book America's Last President: What the World Lost When It Lost John F. Kennedy and how I'd like to have her on the show. It's my pleasure to have her as a guest. Topics: ➡️ Going out to read books about JFK leads to a tr...

In 2017, John Barbour released a sequel episode to his film The Garrison Tapes . I covered Part 1 in a previous episode and will discuss the sequel now.

Was David Berkowitz really the Son of Sam, singular? Or was there a group of Sons of Sam, plural? Regardless of the Satanic Panic that author Maury Terry dives into, it's a question worth asking: did Berkowitz act alone?

In 1992, John Barbour made a film about Jim Garrison's investigation of JFK's murder and an interview that Garrison gave him to discuss the details frankly. There was a part 2 issued several years later that I will talk about in a future episode.

I endeavored to survey older adults who were at or above working age in 1970. What do they remember about 1970s stagflation? What do they remember about inflation and wages? Which was worse: 1970s stagflation or the 1982 recession that followed? More than 80% of respondents - unbidden - shared with me: "The current economy is worse than I remember it being in the 1970s." Frankly, that sh...

"Who is Alex Jones? Looking past caricature to a human character study, Alex's War uses unprecedented access to examine the rollercoaster career of America's most infamous, charismatic and divisive public figure." - IMDb I watched the documentary Alex's War , which shows AJ in his own words and is set amidst the backdrop of 1-6.

The film Executive Action was released on November 7, 1973. In his interview with author Brent Holland, Mark Lane describes writing the screenplay with Donald Freed with the intention for Donald Sutherland to produce the movie. That fell through and the film was rewritten by Dalton Trumbo. Lane's intention was to point a clear finger at the C!A but the film was retooled to ensure the only org...

A subtitle of this episode could be: Welcome to Hell. We tend to think domestic spying was a post- 9 1 1 knee jerk reaction. The facts don't show that to be the case.

Tomorrow, May 29th, is JFK's birthday. Given the efforts over the years to recast him as everything from a closet Communist to a right-wing neocon to an all-around jerkwad, I wanted to do something different for this bonus episode. The purpose here is not sackcloth and ashes, but rather to focus on the positives. Links: https://www.amazon.com/Pleasure-His-Company-Jr-Paul/dp/B0006BOBQ2 https:/...

Seven Days in May  is based on a novel of the same name by Fletcher Knebel and Charles W. Bailey II. It was published in September of 1962. Kennedy read the novel and encouraged the book's adaptation to film. It details a military coup against a President who's turned to peace and seeks détente with the Soviet Union. Sadly the film wasn't released until February 12, 1964. ⚠️ Spoiler...

Are T.W.E.P. programs real? Have people watched too many Bond movies and seen too many Q Branch gadgets? Well,  not exactly. We know about the existence of the heart attack weapon, for example.

Mark Lane was one of the first with access to a major audience to question the Warren Commission Report. He released the book version of Rush to Judgment in 1966 and the subsequent documentary film the year after. Lane sets up the film as a sort of "defense counsel," i.e., had Oswald lived, he would have been entitled to an attorney and a defense strategy. In watching the witnesses, it&a...

Is 2001: A Space Odyssey predictive dystopian sci-fi? Is it a film full of unique images and classical music but no deeper meaning? Is it a precursor to Apollo 11? ⚠️ Spoilers lie ahead.

Michelle Remembers was published in 1980 and it lit the spark of what became the 1980s Satanic Panic. It's easy for us to look back on this period with laughter, but the truth is: there were people whose lives were destroyed due to this insanity of picturing the Devil around every corner.

"I'm the one who taught the Pentagon how to use economic weapons." 😐 ➡️ Does America believe it's an empire? ➡️ Is there any way out of the debt we're in? ➡️ "the myth of dollar permanence" ➡️ "How did you go bankrupt?"

Or should I say the other   other George Bush. Not Poppy and not W.  A George W. Bush, yes, but not the other George W. Bush. A different one. 😵‍💫 Confused yet? ➡️ Should JFK have asked more questions about the Bay of Pigs before moving ahead? Yes. I think he assumed he was getting solid information and that was the wrong assumption to make.    ➡️ Reading the testimonials in the book Operation Z...

A couple of points Jay Weidner makes in JFK X   is the odd phone call between LBJ and JBK that took place on December 2, 1963, less than two weeks after JFK's death, and the weird wink that's given to LBJ by Congressman Albert Thomas at the swearing in. To be honest, given the chain of events, these factors are rather disturbing, IMO.    Links: https://www.jfklibrary.org/asset-viewer/arc...
