Guest Author: Paul GregoryHeadline: Protective Custody: The Secret Service and the GregorysSummary: After the assassination, the Secret Service moved Marina and her mother-in-law, Margarite, to the Six Flags Inn for protection. Pete Gregory served as a translator during interrogations, helping Marina, who feared the FBI was the "American KGB," and eventually breaking the news to her that Lee had died.Article: Following the assassination, Pete Gregory assisted the Secret Service in securing Marina and Margarite Oswald at the Six Flags Inn, where Margarite immediately began claiming her son was an intelligence agent and hero rather than a killer. During the subsequent interrogation, Pete acted as a trusted translator for Marina, who was terrified of the FBI, and he eventually performed the difficult duty of informing her that Lee had died, leading to an emotional viewing of the body at Parkland Hospital.

Host Tara breaks down explosive claims surrounding Iran, national security, and repeated alleged assassination plots targeting Donald Trump and his inner circle. From foreign operatives accused of recruiting criminal hitmen on U.S. soil, to unanswered subpoenas, missing FBI records, and silence from Democratic leadership, this episode examines why Iran remains at the center of rising global tensions—and why Trump is issuing his strongest warning yet. With U.S. military assets quietly repositioning across the Middle East, Tara explains what “pre-positioning” means, why intelligence gaps matter, and what's at stake if foreign threats against American political leaders are ignored. This is not about protests. This is about sovereignty, deterrence, and whether the United States is willing to defend its own leaders—past, present, and future.

In this joint session between the Fakeologist and Tim Ozman of the Infinite Plane Society (IPS), the speakers deconstruct the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) as a staged media event and “auto-hoax”. The conversation explores the historical context of MLK Day, the use of “world actors” in political narratives, and the systematic “Great Deconstruction” of global psyops over the last century.Tim Ozman argues that the MLK assassination follows a established template for “fake” historical events, similar to those of JFK and RFK. Key points of the analysis include:The “Michael King” Theory: Ozman highlights that MLK's name was officially changed from Michael to Martin Luther in 1957; he contends that while the character “Martin Luther King” may have “died,” the man Michael King did not.“Duping Delight”: The speakers review a 1968 60 Minutes interview with the King family, claiming the children's micro-expressions and lack of visible grief suggest a staged scenario.FBI Involvement: The discussion references unclassified files and COINTELPRO, suggesting MLK was a character created or “neutralized” by intelligence agencies to manage the civil rights narrative.Numerology and Code: The speakers point to recurring numbers in the assassination story, such as the .30-06 caliber rifle, and the date (April 4th, or 4/4), which they associate with symbolic “death and resurrection” codes.The episode draws extensive parallels between historical events and current media narratives:The Charlie Kirk “Squib” Theory: Ozman discusses a theory that Charlie Kirk was recently involved in a staged assassination attempt involving “squibs” (theatrical blood effects). He identifies “predictive programming” in the NFL, where a player named Christian Kirk was involved in a “30-06” scoring pattern.Don Lemon and the “KKK Act”: The speakers discuss recent reports of Don Lemon leading a mob into a church, noting the irony of him potentially being charged under the “Ku Klux Klan Act”.A major theme of the discussion is the use of “actor-driven reality” to control the public's worldview.Hyper-realistic Masks: The speakers argue that technology for creating fake people—including hyper-realistic masks and muscle suits—has existed for decades and is used to repurpose actors into different roles.Elon Musk as a Villain: Ozman analyzes “predictive programming” in recent films where billionaire characters based on Elon Musk are used to seed themes of social collapse and election interference.Tim Ozman introduces his latest initiative, “The Great Deconstruction,” a forum and timeline designed to systematically break down every major psyop of the last 100 years. The goal is to provide an “off-world stage perspective” for people transitioning out of the “Truman Show” of mainstream and alternative media.Would you like more details on Tim Ozman's specific breakdown of the “predictive programming” found in recent movies or his analysis of the “King” symbolism in media fakery?The MLK Assassination as a Staged EventContemporary Parallels: Charlie Kirk and Don LemonTechnological Deception and World ActorsThe Great Deconstruction Project

April 1968.

ASSASSINATION PLOTS AND THE MIRACLE OF NEW YORK Colleague Patrick O'Donnell. In 1776, a conspiracy orchestrated by Loyalist Governor Tryon to assassinate George Washington and destroy Patriot gunpowder supplies was uncovered. Thomas Hickey, a member of Washington's own Lifeguard, was implicated and subsequently executed. Later, during the Battle of Long Island, the Continental Army faced destruction, trapped against the East River. In what O'Donnell calls an "American Dunkirk," the Marblehead Regiment utilized their nautical skills to ferry 9,000 troops to safety in Manhattan under the cover of darkness and fog, saving the revolution from collapse.

Or in other words, the shadiest stuff that spies from nations all around the world do - from overthrowing foreign governments, arming proxy groups and carrying out sabotage and assassinations.If you are interested in geopolitics, this probably naturally comes as a fascinating subject - and so we talk about how various nations approach and engage in this area - from the U.S. effort to overthrow Maduro's regime in Venezuela and its rich history of overthrowing foreign regimes, Russian wave of covert action in Europe and what European countries like the UK and France covertly do or not do themselves, how does China approach this and why does it seem to stay under the radar - or why if covert action is meant to be secret, we seem to read about all the time in mainstream news - and much more.
Nearly four months after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Joe Pags asks the question no one else will: why did this story vanish from the headlines? Pags breaks down how legacy media has quietly moved on, zeroing in on overlooked developments in the case — including the stunning detail that a prosecutor's child allegedly witnessed the killing, raising serious questions about conflicts and accountability as the case moves forward. Then Victoria Coates joins the show for a must-hear global briefing. A former Trump national security official, Coates lays out what's really happening with Venezuela, Iran, Greenland, Cuba, and China's growing footprint, connecting the dots in a way few can.

He reveals recurring "identifiers" that expose staged incidents, the modern "strategy of tension" fueling confusion and division, and how elites weaponize mass trauma—like the Las Vegas shooting—to instill widespread fear, exhaustion, and control. GUEST: Ole Dammegård is a Danish truth seeker, code breaker, and peacemaker, awarded the Prague Peace Prize and adopted by the Apache Nation (receiving the Native name Wiyakpayela Wunzi, meaning "Bright One"). An author, international speaker, former journalist, musician (with two solo albums), composer, artist, inventor, and investigator, he has dedicated over 45 years to researching global conspiracies. Regarded as a leading expert on false flag operations, Ole has conducted 500–1,200 international interviews, accurately predicted dozens of alleged terror events months in advance, and reportedly prevented several planned massacres. His investigations focus on political assassinations (JFK, RFK, MLK, Olof Palme, John Lennon, Princess Diana) and events like 9/11 and Oklahoma City.

1. Situation in Iran Mass Killings & Crackdown: Thousands have reportedly been killed or abducted by the Iranian regime during protests. U.S. Response: President Trump and the White House are applying maximum pressure on Iran. Actions include canceling meetings with Iranian officials, imposing a 25% tariff on countries doing business with Iran, and signaling possible military intervention. Military options remain on the table; U.S. security teams are reviewing potential responses, including airstrikes. Global Reaction: European nations summoned Iranian ambassadors. Bipartisan U.S. lawmakers advocate restoring internet access in Iran to help protesters organize. Iranian Threats: Iranian state TV issued threats against President Trump, referencing past assassination attempts. 2. U.S. Domestic Issues Supreme Court Debate: A major discussion occurred about men in women’s sports and defining what constitutes a woman. The ACLU reportedly struggled to define “woman” during arguments. Senate Hearing on Abortion Pills: Focused on safety and regulation of abortion medication (e.g., Mifepristone). Republicans pushed for stricter oversight; Democrats emphasized access to care. Controversial Exchange: Senator Josh Hawley questioned Dr. Nisha Verma (OB-GYN) on whether men can get pregnant. Dr. Verma avoided a direct yes/no answer, citing complexity and patient identities. Hawley insisted on biological clarity, arguing that biological men cannot get pregnant and criticizing refusal to acknowledge this as undermining science and constitutional protections for women.

In this episode of PeaceCast, NJN's Maxxe Albert-Deitch is joined by Barak Sella, editor of Class of 95: A Literary Anthology on the Assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. Class of 95 presents, for the first time in English, Israel's poetic response to this national trauma. Originally published in Hebrew as Machzor 95, this anthology gathers diverse and powerful Israeli voices, including both renowned poets and a new generation of writers who gave words to a nation's shock, grief, and search for meaning. This English edition brings forty of those poems to new audiences, organized according to the five stages of Jewish mourning. Together, they move readers from the stunned immediacy of November 4, 1995, through grief and reckoning, to the recognition that Rabin's assassination is not only a personal or national trauma but a lasting chapter in Jewish history.

Wake up before it's too late! BOMBSHELL COVER-UP: Utah Valley University, swarmed in with agents as guards, ripping into Charlie Kirk's fresh blood-soaked ground and slapping down pavers to obliterate every trace of the assassination before any honest probe could kick off.

Charlie Kirk's murder wasn't a chance—it was a calculated Zionist takedown of the last barrier to Jewish control of America, unleashing Venezuela invasions, Mexico wars, and rigged civil riots straight from Tel Aviv's playbook. With Kirk erased, scheming Israeli donors and their DC puppets sacrifice American blood for stolen oil and endless foreign schemes, prepping their jets to flee while we burn.

Tara unpacks a geopolitical story the mainstream media refuses to explain clearly. Sanctions against Iran, Russia, and their allies were supposed to choke off terror funding—but instead, loopholes, ignored enforcement, and political corruption turned Venezuela into an illegal oil way station for America's enemies. Now, with a Russian tanker, a shadowing submarine, and court-backed enforcement finally underway, the stakes couldn't be higher. This isn't chaos. It's strategy. And it may reshape global energy and power for decades.
The American Federation of Teachers of Texas is suing the Texas Education Agency over a series of investigations the agency launched over teachers' comments on social media after the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. In other news, a police officer and a public service officer with the Dallas Police Department have been terminated from their positions following a January disciplinary hearing; over 40 Dallas police units responded to a bomb threat at North Dallas High School on Tuesday morning. Police initially responded to the school after reports of a bomb threat just before 8 am; and changes in how methamphetamine trafficking is punished under federal law are being proposed this year to bring sentences more in line with other hard drugs such as cocaine and heroin.

In this explosive episode, Tara breaks down the brutal reality of life under Iran's mullah-led regime, the horrifying treatment of protesters, and how Western money kept that regime alive for years. From secret cash pallets and broken sanctions to the return of hope under Donald Trump, Tara connects the dots between Iran, Venezuela, global terror networks, and America's own national security. With protests reigniting and dictators reportedly preparing exit plans, this episode explains why Iran is shaking again, how sanctions are biting, and why the stakes couldn't be higher — not just for the Middle East, but for the United States itself. This is history, geopolitics, and hard truth — unfiltered. ⚠️
In this intense, unfiltered episode, Tara lays out a chilling timeline — from the brutal torture of Iranian protesters to cartel-backed gangs taking territory inside the United States. This isn't theory. This isn't abstraction. This is a coordinated pressure campaign spanning Iran, Venezuela, China, and the U.S. homeland. Tara connects the dots between secret cash transfers, sanctions relief, drug trafficking regimes, election interference, and why the Monroe Doctrine suddenly matters again. From Iranian street protests to Venezuelan gangs operating in American cities, this episode explains why this is not foreign meddling — it's war, and why pretending otherwise is no longer an option. ⚠️ This is not Iraq. ⚠️ This is not Afghanistan.
THE MORNING OF THE ASSASSINATION AND IDENTIFYING THE SUSPECT Colleague Paul Gregory. Paul Gregory recounts the morning of November 22, 1963, from the perspective of his father, Pete Gregory, a Russiantranslator who watched President Kennedy speak outside a hotel in Fort Worth. Pete later returned to his office, only to learn shortly after that the President had been shot. Meanwhile, Paul was a student at the University of Oklahoma when a classmate announced the shooting. Gathering around a television with other students, he watched Walter Cronkiteannounce the President's death. When Lee Harvey Oswald appeared on screen as a suspect, Paul shocked his peers by declaring, "I know that guy." He immediately suspected Oswald was guilty and anticipated being contacted by authorities, which occurred the following morning. NUMBER 1
PROTECTING THE FAMILY AND THE BACKYARD PHOTOGRAPH Colleague Paul Gregory. Following the assassination, Oswald's mother, Marguerite, contacted Pete Gregory seeking shelter for herself and Marina. Petecoordinated with the Secret Service to move the women to a hotel at Six Flags to protect them from the press and facilitate interrogation. Authorities were particularly focused on a photo of Oswald holding a rifle; Marina initially hesitated to admit she took it, fearing legal consequences. Pete Gregory helped bridge the trust gap between Marina and the Secret Service. The situation escalated when the family learned Lee Harvey Oswald had been shot. Marguerite and Marina were taken to Parkland Hospital to view his body, after which Marguerite began demanding he be buried in Arlington National Cemetery. NUMBER 5
THE WARREN COMMISSION AND THE LONE GUNMAN CONCLUSION Colleague Paul Gregory. Paul Gregory discusses the Warren Commission and the enduring conspiracy theories surrounding the assassination. He visited Dealey Plaza personally to assess the sniper's nest, concluding the shot was "fairly easy" for a prepared shooter. Gregory dismisses the idea of a complex conspiracy, noting the spontaneity of Oswald's opportunity at the Book Depository. He highlights the Soviet Union's own suspicion that Oswald was a rogue element. A major focus is Marguerite Oswald's testimony; she confronted Chief Justice Earl Warren, demanding subpoena rights and claiming her son was a scapegoat. Gregory asserts that understanding Marguerite's influence and delusion is essential to understanding the psychological formation of her son, Lee. NUMBER 7

MCNAMARA AND JOHNSON'S DANGEROUS FEEDBACK LOOP Colleague William Taubman. Following JFK's assassination, Lyndon Johnson retained McNamara, relying on his efficiency and self-confidence to counter his own insecurities and depressive episodes. A dangerous feedback loop developed where McNamara, eager to please his new boss, adopted Johnson's "tone for action" regarding Vietnam, providing brilliant arguments for escalation that reinforced Johnson's instincts to fight. Johnson came to view McNamara as his "fair-haired boy," utilizing him for everything from the war effort to domestic projects and even considering him for the Vice Presidency. NUMBER 5 1966 LBJ ;
SHOW 12-29-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR UR THE PRINCESS'S MUSEUM AT THE DAWN OF HISTORY Colleague Moudhy Al-Rashid. Moudhy Al-Rashidintroduces Ennigaldi-Nanna, a princess and high priestess of the moon god in the ancient city of Ur. Excavators discovered a chamber in her palace containing carefully arranged artifacts from eras much older than her own, effectively serving as a museum. A clay cylinder found there acted as a museum label, preserving the history of ancient kings to lend legitimacy to her father, King Nabonidus, and his dynasty. NUMBER 1 THE STORIES TOLD BY MESOPOTAMIAN BRICKS Colleague Moudhy Al-Rashid. Moudhy Al-Rashidexplains how millions of mud bricks reveal the history of ancient Mesopotamia, from the construction of massive temples to the 9-kilometer wall of Uruk. These bricks were often stamped with the names of kings to ensure their deeds were known to the gods. Beyond royal propaganda, bricks preserve intimate moments, such as the accidental paw prints of dogs or footprints of children left while the clay dried in the sun. NUMBER 2 GILGAMESH AND THE BIRTH OF WRITTEN LEGEND Colleague Moudhy Al-Rashid. Al-Rashid discusses Cuneiform, a writing system used for over 3,000 years to record languages like Sumerian and Akkadian. She details the Epic of Gilgamesh, a tale of a tyrannical king who finds wisdom and friendship with the wild man Enkidu. While Gilgamesh was likely a real historical figure, his story evolved into high poetry about mortality and leadership. The segment notes that kingship was believed to have descended from heaven. NUMBER 3 HOMEWORK AND HEARTACHE IN ANCIENT SCHOOLS Colleague Moudhy Al-Rashid. Excavations of a "schoolhouse" in Nippur revealed thousands of practice tablets, showing the messy first attempts of children learning to write. These artifacts include literary accounts of school life, complaints about food, and even teeth marks from frustrated students. The curriculum was rigorous, covering literacy and advanced mathematics like geometry, which was essential for future scribes to calculate field yields and manage the bureaucracy. NUMBER 4 THE ALCOHOLIC TYRANTS OF THE WEST Colleague Professor James Romm. James Romm introduces Syracuse as a dominant power in the 4th century BCE under the rule of Dionysius the Elder, who rose from clerk to autocrat. Dionysius fortified the city's geography to create a secure military base and adopted the Persian custom of polygamy, marrying two women on the same day. This created a rivalrous, "unhappy family" dynamic in a court notorious for heavy drinking and "Syracusan tables" of excess. NUMBER 5 PLATO'S FAILED FIRST MISSION TO SICILY Colleague Professor James Romm. Professor Romm details Plato's background, including his connection to the Thirty Tyrants in Athens and his philosophy of "forms." Plato was invited to Syracuse by Dion, who hoped the philosopher could reform the tyrant Dionysius the Elder. However, this first visit was a disaster; Plato attempted to lecture the ruler on ethics and moral behavior, resulting in the philosopher being dismissed from the court with dishonor. NUMBER 6 THE BANISHMENT OF DION Colleague Professor James Romm. Plato returned to Syracuse to tutor Dionysius the Younger, hoping to create an enlightened monarch, but found a court defined by drunkenness and immaturity. The experiment failed when Dion, Plato's ally, sent a letter to Carthage that the tyrant interpreted as treason. Dionysiusbanished Dion and kept Plato under a form of house arrest to maintain the appearance of an alliance, while the tyrant solidified his power. NUMBER 7 A PHILOSOPHER OBSERVES A COMING WAR Colleague Professor James Romm. At the Olympic Games, Plato met the exiled Dion and learned that the tyrant had confiscated Dion's property and given his wife to another man. Despite the growing tension, Plato visited Syracuse a third time in 361 BCE to attempt reconciliation. Romm argues that Plato's harsh description of the "tyrannical man" in The Republic was directly inspired by his personal observations of living under the roof of the Syracusan tyrant. NUMBER 8 REVOLUTION, ASSASSINATION, AND CHAOS Colleague Professor James Romm. Dion launched an invasion to liberate Syracuse, but the revolution unleashed chaotic populist passions he could not control. After ordering the assassination of a rival, Dion fell into a depression and was eventually assassinated by a faction of his own army. Rommnotes that ancient historians, including Plutarch, largely protected Dion's reputation to safeguard the prestige of Plato's Academy, despite Dion's failure to become a true philosopher king. NUMBER 9 THE TYRANT WHO BECAME A SCHOOLTEACHER Colleague Professor James Romm. Professor James Romm discusses the surprising fate of Dionysius II, the tyrant of Syracuse. After the Corinthian leader Timoleonarrived to liberate the city, Dionysius surrendered and was allowed to retire to Corinth rather than facing execution. There, the former absolute ruler became a music teacher, leading to the proverb "Dionysius is in Corinth," a saying used for centuries to describe the unpredictability of fortune and the fall of the powerful. NUMBER 10 PHILOSOPHER KINGS AND THE RIVER OF HEEDLESSNESS Colleague Professor James Romm. James Romm explores Plato's Republic, arguing that philosophers make the best kings because they perceive the true "forms" of justice rather than earthly shadows. The discussion turns to the "Myth of Er," a story of the afterlife where souls travel for a thousand years before choosing their next life. Plato warns that drinking too deeply from the River of Heedlessnesserases memory, whereas philosophers strive to recall the forms. NUMBER 11 PLATO'S LETTERS AND THE WHITEWASHING OF DION Colleague Professor James Romm. The conversation examines Plato's thirteen letters, specifically the five Romm believes are genuine regarding the Syracuse affair. Platoviewed himself as a wise lawgiver capable of reforming a tyrant, though he was naive about practical politics. In the seventh letter, Plato attempts to rehabilitate the reputation of his associate Dion, spinning the narrative to portray Dion as a virtuous victim of evil rather than admitting his political failures. NUMBER 12 THE RETURN OF THE NOBLE MONARCH Colleague Gregory Copley. Gregory Copley argues that the world has reached "peak republicanism," where republics have become inefficient political battlegrounds. He defines nobility not as a class structure, but as a quality of honorable leadership that embodies the state's values. Copley suggests modern monarchies, like that of King Charles III, are reinvigorating this role by acting as apolitical symbols of unity and diplomacy, unlike elected leaders who only represent their voters. NUMBER 13 THE DANGERS OF TRANSACTIONAL NATIONALISM Colleague Gregory Copley. Copley warns that suppression in republics often leads to uncontrollable demands for liberty, citing the collapse of the Shah's Iran and the USSR. He distinguishes between "tribal nationalism," based on shared history, and "state nationalism," which is often transactional. Copley argues that transactional systems eventually fail because the state runs out of resources to trade for support, leading to corruption and the potential fracturing of society. NUMBER 14 CONSTITUTIONS, BELIEF, AND THE EMPIRE Colleague Gregory Copley. Copley describes the US Constitution as the "de facto crown" holding the American empire together, though it faces challenges from populist movements. He argues that a "faith-based electorate" or a "belief in beliefs" is essential for social unity, noting that when people stop believing in God, they will believe in anything. Monarchy utilizes mysticism and continuity to maintain this unity, a quality difficult for republics to replicate. NUMBER 15 THE REASSERTION OF ANCIENT EMPIRES Colleague Gregory Copley. Copley contends that China is reasserting its identity as an empire, with the Communist Party seeking legitimacy by connecting with imperial history despite previous rejections of the past. Similarly, he views Vladimir Putin as a nationalist attempting to restore the memory and grandeur of the Russian Empire. The segment concludes by suggesting the US might "lease" the symbolic nobility of King Charles III during state visits to borrow necessary leadership prestige. NUMBER 16
