This is  Part 8 of the mini-series that covers the story of Bobby Baker. This mini-series is part of a larger series covering  Billy Sol Estes, Mac Wallace, Bobby Baker and other members of Johnson's Texas inner circle.  All of these  men  were quite intertwined around Johnson at the time of the assassination. They  were involved in circumstances that were closing in on Johnson too and that provided him great motive in the killing of the President.  The story is extraordinary.  Today's episode tells the story of the deal that Bobby Baker brokered to import meat form Haiti to Puerto Rico and he parlayed that into more than a finder's fee...he would gain a 10% profits interest in the Haitian slaughterhouse without any indications as to why the profits interest was granted. And the money would flow long after the initial transaction  was done and over with. Sound puzzling to you, well guess who owned that slaughterhouse...the Murchison's of Texas fame.  The Senate Rules committee investigated these transactions as part of their hearings in 1963 and 1964 and never got to the bottom of why these transactions were constructed the way they were or what Bobby Baker was supposed to do in return for the profits interest. The characters, setting and details around this story make it a quintessential example of influence peddling at it's finest and that was in essence declared by the Senate committee during their investigation.Rumors of Johnson's involvement in the assassination began to swirl almost immediately after the President's  murder and there is a defined school of thought within the JFK assassination research community that staunchly believes in Johnson's involvement. His involvement  in both the assassination and its cover up. Join us in one of the most fascinating story tells of the Kennedy assassination and stick around as we will be returning to the Mexico City series right after we complete this min-series that was spawned by the recent release of the Billy Sol Estes and Cliff Carter tape that the two recorded in 1971. Folks, you just can't write this stuff. Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over  the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it,  were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. This  real-life story is more fascinating than fiction.  No matter whether you are a serious researcher or a casual student, you will enjoy the fact filled narrative and story as  we relive one of the most shocking moments in American History.

Comment l'Opération Rolling Thunder a-t-elle préparé la guerre du Vietnam ?

Au printemps 1965, les États-Unis basculent dans une guerre qui ne dit pas encore son nom. L'opération Rolling Thunder, déclenchée le 2 mars 1965, marque le début de la première grande campagne aérienne américaine contre le Nord-Vietnam. Officiellement, il ne s'agit pas d'entrer en guerre totale, mais de faire plier Hanoï par la puissance du feu. En réalité, cette opération va engager les États-Unis dans l'engrenage d'un conflit de plus en plus vaste, sans jamais atteindre ses objectifs stratégiques.Le contexte est celui d'une escalade. Depuis le retrait de la France en 1954, le Vietnam est divisé : au nord, un régime communiste soutenu par l'URSS et la Chine ; au sud, un régime pro-américain fragile, miné par la corruption. Le Nord-Vietnam, dirigé par Hô Chi Minh, soutient activement la guérilla du Viet Cong dans le Sud. En 1964, l'incident du golfe du Tonkin permet au président Lyndon B. Johnson d'obtenir du Congrès le feu vert pour utiliser la force militaire.Rolling Thunder débute quelques mois plus tard. L'idée est simple : bombarder massivement les infrastructures nord-vietnamiennes – routes, ponts, chemins de fer, bases militaires, usines, dépôts de carburant – pour affaiblir le soutien logistique au Viet Cong et forcer le régime de Hanoï à négocier.Mais sur le terrain, rien ne se passe comme prévu. Malgré plus de 300 000 missions aériennes menées en trois ans, et le largage de plus d'un million de tonnes de bombes, l'effet stratégique reste limité. Le Nord-Vietnam, soutenu logistiquement par la Chine et l'URSS, s'adapte : les cibles sont rapidement réparées, les convois circulent la nuit, et les routes sont détournées. La population, loin de se soumettre, renforce sa résistance.Paradoxalement, Rolling Thunder pousse les États-Unis à s'engager davantage au sol. En 1965, les premières troupes combattantes américaines débarquent. Le nombre de soldats américains au Vietnam passe de 23 000 en 1964 à plus de 500 000 en 1968. Le conflit devient alors une véritable guerre totale, avec son lot de violences, de controverses, et de divisions à l'intérieur même des États-Unis.En mars 1968, à la veille de l'offensive du Têt, Rolling Thunder est suspendue. L'Amérique a usé son aviation, sans briser la détermination du Nord-Vietnam.L'opération Rolling Thunder reste aujourd'hui l'un des exemples les plus frappants de la limite de la puissance aérienne face à une guerre asymétrique. Elle a préparé le terrain non pas à la victoire, mais à l'enlisement d'une guerre que les États-Unis ne savaient plus comment gagner… ni comment en sortir. Hébergé par Acast.

This Wisconsin based company was the original source of Bobby Baker's wealth and from the earnings that came from this stock  investment, there was much  more to come with Bobby Baker. The investment, among other things, was the basis for a budding financial relationship with Mr. and Mrs. Novak, who eventually invested on Bobby's behalf in MGIC stock, made a profit and then   parlayed all of that into a partnership with Baker  to build the Carousel motel. The Carousel was Baker's ill fated attempt at building a resort in Ocean City.  The partnership would  take Mr. Novak down, but the question still lingers...did he die of suicide, or was he murdered...and did that murder result from the transaction gone awry  related to the Carousel.From Lyndon Johnson's vantage point, here was Bobby  Baker who was known as Little Lyndon and was perhaps the second most powerful man in the senate.

I wasn't sure I'd be able to finish the Jake Tapper/Alex Thompson book, Original Sin. I downloaded the audiobook, narrated by Tapper, to listen to as I drive across the country from California to Ohio to see my daughter for her birthday. Out my window, I see the same running commentary of the real America I witnessed years ago, which changed my mind about Trump and MAGA. When you see Trump's name arising in unexpected places in nearly every state, from Arizona (“Viva Trump”) to Nebraska to Iowa to New York, you know something significant has shifted in this country.It felt like a secret cry for help among forgotten and abandoned Americans. I see it even now:I was not encouraged by the book's first chapter, which describes a world where the Democratic Party isn't corrupt, where they don't hand-pick candidates and then force everyone to “Vote Blue No Matter Who,” where identity politics don't rule the day, and where the democratic process is allowed to play out. What a load of garbage. To quote Deep Throat in All the President's Men, “Oh, but it's touching.” Just imagine Gavin Newsom attempting to challenge Kamala Harris. She might be the world's worst candidate, but all points lead back to her; you have to start there, whether they had a primary or not. They knew that, which is why they skipped the foreplay and went straight to a first-ever installed candidate for president. So I didn't think listening to an entire audiobook shaped by a false premise and awash in false media narratives would be a good use of my time. Maybe I'd listen to, I don't know, the new Mark Twain biography.As Victor Davis Hanson points out, Jake Tapper is an unreliable narrator because there would be no Biden cover-up if the media had done its job:Had Original Sin been written by Tom Wolfe, Gore Vidal, or even Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi, it would have been the searing indictment of a deep state plot foiled by Mr. McGoo, told with bemused irony. But it is dead serious, for better or worse.But I must say, in the end, I'm glad I stuck with it. It might not be the definitive account of the rise and fall of a once-mighty empire I would have wanted, but it is a surprisingly revealing look behind the curtain all the same.Could it really be that Jeffrey Katzenberg and Steven Spielberg were brought in to “direct” Joe Biden with better light, sound, and acting coaching? Yes. Could it be that Rob Reiner and Jane Fonda broke down in hysterics at some mansion in the Hollywood Hills after the debate? Yes. If the aim was to scapegoat Joe Biden, they failed. He comes off as the most sympathetic, a victim of a massive machine of creeps that chewed him up and spit him out. Do they legitimately believe we would sympathize with some fat cat in Hollywood who threatens never to write another check unless they push Biden out? We're supposed to care about what the donors think? Tapper seems to have emerged from the grim experience with a bit of a perspective shift. At least now, he's able to talk about the problems the Democrats have in a way he hasn't in the past ten years. The value of Original Sin, at least for someone like me who fled the party in disgust in 2020 after watching them use their power to take our elections away from the people and decide their outcome, isn't so much that there are any new revelations. But it's a book written from the inside, with access to over 200 voices anxious to be heard. That meant following the events as they unfolded in real time, and let me tell you, there is pleasure in that. I found it cathartic, not just because the Democrats had it coming, and got everything they deserved, but for the sheer joy of witnessing the most most powerful people in the world have their asses handed to them by the very democracy they claimed they wanted to protect. That George Clooney, Steven Spielberg, and Jeffrey Katzenberg were so heavily involved in the politics of the Democrats makes it all look like the Wizard of Oz, pulling back the curtain and exposing the ugly truth. Hollywood might make this into a series for HBO or Netflix, but since the co-founder and chairman of Netflix, Reed Hastings, was one of the fat cats who threatened to withhold funds unless the Democrats got rid of Biden, I'm guessing we won't get the whole story. But if they wanted to tell it like it really happened, it would make one hell of a tale.The Story That Writes ItselfHollywood doesn't have the guts to tell the whole story. They can't because they're part of it. They're way too cozy with the Democrats, and if they really wanted to tell the truth, they'd have to admit, as with Michael Corleone, they are part of the same hypocrisy. At best, they could cobble together something that paints Trump as the ultimate evil that vain and selfish Joe and Jill Biden allowed to take back power. The real story is how they built a powerful coalition and had no choice but to turn to corruption to preserve that power. This would make a great long-form series.Episode One—The “hope and change” candidate lights up the world and chooses an “old white guy” to be his Veep, just as JFK did with LBJ, a cynical ploy to make his youth and inexperience (and, in this case, skin color) more palatable for a nervous electorate. Episode Two - The “hope and change” guy doesn't like the “old white guy” as the successor of his powerful coalition, which now includes all of culture, all corporations, all institutions, all media, and all social media. Why go backwards? The “old white guy” with a stutter who just lost his beloved son to brain cancer was no longer useful to the “hope and change” guy. No one thinks much of it as he's kicked to the curb and embarrassed as not electable enough, not desirable enough, and past his sell-by date. So, the “hope and change” guy picks the “Wall Street Sweetheart,” the former First Lady and Secretary of State, to become the “first woman POTUS.” With the help of a grassroots populist movement and an “Old Socialist” challenging the “Wall Street Sweetheart,” the party is fractured, and Trump wins. Episode Three - The establishment and the Obama coalition decide that Trump should not be allowed to rule, forget democracy! Who needs it? No “old white guy” was supposed to win, least of all that guy. Millions pour into the streets in an orgy of self pity, imagined oppression, fragility, privilege and narcissism — mass hysteria takes hold, cancel culture grips the left. Hundreds lose their jobs as they desperately try to undo the election results and get rid of Trump. They impeach him, they frame him, they smear him, they attack him. The OG “old white guy” waiting in the wings isn't looking so bad. An easy, lateral move. An establishment pick. One “old white guy” for another.Episode Four - 2020 is its own whole episode. It has to be. It was the year the Democrats sold their souls to the Devil to cling to power. They spent $1 billion with a “well-funded cabal” of elites to fund and amplify the racial protests, change election laws, $400 million to collect ballots, and trot in experts to lie about everything from the laptop to COVID to the protests. They censored Americans on social media, and the FBI forced censorship of the laptop. The country sinks. Media credibility is destroyed. Large swaths of the electorate abandon the Democrats. But the “old white guy” wins. So finally, he gets his dream at long last, to be president of the United States. Episode Five - The “old white guy” is finally the savior he always dreamed he'd be. He became a blank check for Black Americans, trans Americans, and especially women of color. He would finish what the “hope and change” guy started. Are we topless at the White House?But the “old white guy” bungles the withdrawal from Afghanistan, and his approval ratings tank. Americans don't see a nice old grandpa anymore. They see George Spahn, who just moved the Manson Family into the White House, and now they're running the country.Now what? He goes after Trump and MAGA, calling them fascists, extremists, and a danger to society. If the “old white guy” can't have the presidency, then no one will.The “old white guy” isn't so nice anymore. Trump is indicted four times, convicted, and takes a mug shot that goes viral. They've sold their soul to the Devil, after all, they're not going to give up power so easily. Episode Six - The final battle. Trump teases and torments the “old white guy” and forces him to debate. Trump mocks him mercilessly at his rallies for not knowing where he is. For Trump, beating him will be a cake walk for anyone not sucked into the false reality pushed by the legacy media.Trump and Biden debate rematch. The “old white guy” crashes and burns so hard it nearly sets Rob Reiner's hair on fire. “He just lost the election,” Dana Bash scribbles on a note to Jake Tapper. What now for the empire that was never the resistance?Trump survives an assassination attempt at Butler the following month. His entire campaign is transformed. Elon Musk joins his dream team. This was our last best hope for America. We wanted out. We wanted something new. We wanted to be set free:But inside the Bubble, it's Original Sin. It's denial. It's a legacy press that lies to the monarchs, lies to their voters, sending them cascading into yet more hysteria. Please make the bad orange man go away! For the sake of democracy! Please give us our utopia back! Jane Fonda, Steven Spielberg, Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, David Simon, Jon Stewart, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, and Rob Reiner are losing their minds. It's a dystopia full of aging, frustrated aristocrats who can't keep democracy down. We're about to lose our democracy, they cry. Biden will lose us our democracy, they insist. How can this be happening? Get rid of the “old white guy.” GET RID OF HIM! For the sake of democracy! “We need a new nominee,” says George Clooney. Who's we? What happened to democracy? Now, the duly elected nominee, aka “the old white guy,” must step aside to save democracy? Yes, that is where the Democrats arrived in their pitiful last gasp to salvage and preserve their power. They cynically install the “woman of color” because they know all points lead to Kamala Harris. Their flock will fall in line as they always have. Push him out, push the “old white guy” out in a palace coup worthy of a fading, useless, self-serving monarchy on the brink of collapse. Trump wins again. We see the “old white guy” grinning in the oval office and having the last laugh. They used him. They lied to him. They flattered him. Then, they kicked him out, all because they were exposed and couldn't hide the truth anymore.As the scene fades to black, we see a close-up on Jake Tapper lying in bed, working it all out. Holy s**t, he thinks. Someone has to tell this story. He picks up the phone, “Alex? Hi, it's Jake. I was wondering if we might talk.” I mean, come on. It's Ishtar Part Two.

It might be reputation laundering for the media. But for me, it was an early Christmas present, if only for the delicious pleasure of watching them squirm as their corrupt plot to cling to power unravels.

The JFK Assassination: Conspiracy, Cover-Up, and the Truth Episode Description On November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. Officially, Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone—but decades of inconsistencies, missing evidence, and classified documents suggest something much darker may have happened. In this episode, we break down the official narrative, explore the leading conspiracy theories, and look at newly declassified files that might finally shine a light on what really happened that day in Dealey Plaza.

This is  Part 4 of the mini-series that covers the story of Bobby Baker. This mini-series is part of a larger series covering  Billy Sol Estes, Mac Wallace, Bobby Baker and other members of Johnson's Texas inner circle.  All of these  men  were quite intertwined around Johnson at the time of the assassination. They  were involved in circumstances that were closing in on Johnson too and that provided him great motive in the killing of the President.  The story is extraordinary.  Today's episode covers the civil lawsuit filed by Capitol Vending against Serv-U corporation. A lawsuit  whose allegations revealed a kickback scheme involving Baker, his law partner Ernest Tucker and lobbyist Fred Black.  The civil suit touched off a firestorm of press investigation that led to other allegations which surfaced. This led Senator John J. Williams of Delaware to begin his  own review, requesting that Baker address the matter with the Senate leadership. Today we tell the story around this event as Baker himself told it, reading directly from his  book Wheeling and Dealing.From Lyndon Johnson's vantage point, here was Bobby  Baker who was known as Little Lyndon and was perhaps the second most powerful man in the senate. He was  Bobby Baker the Secretary to the Majority, the right hand man of Lyndon Johnson in the senate....and just months before the assassination, allegations of wrong doing by Baker begin to surface. Baker declined to meet with Senators, and alternatively chose to resign his position as majority secretary of the  Senate. The abrupt resignation did not stave off the inevitable,as Williams and other republican senators called for a formal Senate investigation into the affairs of Bobby Baker. They got it. And thus began an eighteen month internal Senate investigation conducted by the Senate Rules and Administration Committee along with  investigations by the FBI, the IRS and  a grand jury investigation as well. Investigations that eventually became a prelude to  Baker's ultimate prosecution by federal authorities and a conviction and jail sentence.    Baker's resignation from one of the most powerful positions in the country happened just prior to the President's assassination and created a growing rumor that the scandal would lead back to Johnson and result in his political demise or more...  The Republicans smelled blood in the water.  Join us in this third   episode of what is sure to be a fascinating series on another  incredible story that envelopes around Lyndon Johnson at the time of the Kennedy assassination.  Rumors of Johnson's involvement began to swirl almost immediately after the President's assassination and there is a defined school of thought within the JFK assassination research community that staunchly believes in Johnson's involvement. His involvement  in both the assassination and its cover up. Join us in one of the most fascinating story tells of the Kennedy assassination and stick around as we will be returning to the Mexico City series right after we complete this min-series that was spawned by the recent release of the Billy Sol Estes and Cliff Carter tape that the two recorded in 1971. Folks, you just can't write this stuff. Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over  the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it,  were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. This  real-life story is more fascinating than fiction.  No matter whether you are a serious researcher or a casual student, you will enjoy the fact filled narrative and story as  we relive one of the most shocking moments in American History.

In this episode, Dave and Ann Wilson explore the lives of five remarkable Christians who changed the world without holding traditional religious titles like pastors or missionaries. Jordan Raynor, the author of "Five Mere Christians," joins the discussion and introduces these figures, starting with Fannie Lou Hamer, whose activism played a pivotal role in the Civil Rights Movement. Rainer reveals that while Hamer's story is well-known among African Americans, many white people are unaware of her contributions, highlighting the racial divide in historical knowledge.Fannie Lou Hamer, a poor Black sharecropper from Mississippi, took the courageous step of attempting to register to vote in 1962, a move that led to her imprisonment and brutal beating by a police officer. Despite the violence she endured, Hamer went on to form the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, which aimed to challenge voter suppression in the South. Hamer's testimony at the 1964 Democratic National Convention, despite being disrupted by President Lyndon B. Johnson's efforts to suppress it, brought national attention to the injustices in Mississippi and helped secure voting rights for African Americans. What stood out in her story was her ability to fight for justice without hating or canceling her enemies, maintaining a Christ-like approach of praying for those who wronged her.The conversation then shifts to how justice and love should intersect in today's world. The hosts explore how modern Christians, in their pursuit of justice, should avoid adopting worldly methods such as cancel culture, which contrasts with Christ's teachings on loving one's enemies and praying for them.Next, the discussion takes a turn to the founder of LEGO, Ole Kirk Christiansen, whose life was marked by incredible perseverance and faith. Christiansen's story of overcoming tragedy—including multiple factory fires and the deaths of his wife and child—illustrates his deep trust in God's plan. His commitment to creating toys during difficult times showed his belief in the power of play and its connection to God's joy in creation. His ability to persevere through extreme hardships and still focus on bringing joy to others is a testament to his Christian faith and work ethic.The episode concludes by discussing how these individuals demonstrate the importance of both trusting in God's sovereignty and hustling to make a difference in the world. Rainer encourages listeners to engage in their work and relationships with a balance of prayer, action, and rest, as exemplified by these extraordinary individuals. Ultimately, the podcast emphasizes that even in the most difficult of circumstances, faith, perseverance, and trust in God can bring transformation.

It's been 50 years since the end of the Vietnam war. In honor of the anniversary, we're revisiting a story about a notorious American military prison on the outskirts of Saigon, called Long Binh Jail.  LBJ wasn't for captured enemy fighters—it was for American soldiers. These were men who had broken military law. And there were a lot of them. As the unpopular war dragged on, discipline frayed and soldiers started to rebel.By the summer of 1968, over half the men in Long Binh Jail were locked up on AWOL charges. Some were there for more serious crimes, others for small stuff, like refusing to get a haircut. The stockade had become extremely overcrowded. Originally built to house 400 inmates, it became crammed with over 700 men, more than half African American. On August 29th, 1968, the situation erupted.

  Steve has been keeping busy, slowly going through the 80,000 pages from the recently declassified JFK files. Seasoned JFK researchers who know the historic material will be able to make sense of the new JFK files. Len & Steve discuss the JFK Task Force headed by Congresswoman Anna Luna & the recent hearings. Steve finds Luna as being forthcoming & capable to the task of heading this new JFK task force. Steve is proud of his friendship with JFK researcher & author, Jefferson Morley, founder of JFK Facts website. Visit here. Oliver Stone will never be forgotten by the JFK researching community. His contributions have been priceless. The JFK movie by Oliver Stone was released in 1992, 2nd documentary Destiny Betrayed was 2021. Mr. X played by Donald Sutherland was based off the personal testimony of Col. L.Fletcher Prouty. It was beneficial to the research committee to have Oliver Stone at the first JFK hearing of the Luna Committee in Congress. They murdered JFK & got away with it, with Dulles guarding all information. Earl Warren and others never wanted to head the commission, they were ordered to by President Lyndon B. Johnson. Steve discusses the importance of the cover up with Len mentioning CE #399 and that unbelievable lie. All of the new observations fail to produce any evidence of the government’s false claims that "Oswald did it". Steve met Mark Lane in 1966 shortly after the release of Rush To Judgment. Mark introduced Steve to Jim Garrison. Jim wanted to know if Steve had any skills when Steve offered to volunteer to help Jim with his JFK investigation. Steve had read all 26 volumes of Warren Commission testimony & exhibits, with experience in photography at UCLA. Overloaded with film & photographic evidence, Garrison hired Steve as a forensic investigator in charge of this material. Steve feels the biggest discovery from this photographic & video evidence is the Zapruder film! Garrison sent Steve to the National Archives to view the unedited version of the Zapruder film. It was shockingly clear. Steve was also communicating with a liason with French Intelligence SDECE & was sent to Paris in June of 1968. French Intelligence gave Steve a copy of their near perfect copy of the Zapruder film. Film was disguised for trip to USA. Steve made copies to anyone who wanted one, he sent many films to JFK assassination researchers. JFK couldn't have been shot from the front & the back, by anyone shooting from the 6th floor of the TSBD building. Len believes this week there will be a release of the assassination of Robert Kennedy at the Ambassador Hotel. All photos related to the assassinations should be released for public scrutiny. These are MURDER investigations. What happened in Dealey Plaza was a highly conscious and intentional act to completely change the direction of history. Churchill called the people who really control global politics the "High Cabal". Stay tuned for a new release this fall by Steve Jaffe, he's been busy working on a new book! Stay tuned! Until you start doing the deep research, you truly have no idea have no idea of the many lies that are told by the government. JFK's assassination completely changed the course of history, We still feel these effects.

Len & Paul discuss the latest in Paul's research & the JFK document release. Paul has an interest in the Fair Play For Cuba Committee. When Oswald joined this committee, Lee was on a mission. New Orleans wouldn't have had any appetite for communist sympathy after the Cuban Missile Crisis in the summer of 1963.

We temporarily leave the Billie Sol Estes Mini-Series and pivot now to a Mini-Series on Mac Wallace. Today's episode is the  third in our story about  Wallace as  we cover the  Douglas Kinser murder trial. Wallace was charged and convicted of the murder but received only  a five year sentence which was suspended. In Texas at the time, this was  a crime that for most people, would have put them in the electric chair. Defended by Lyndon Johnson's  own attorney John Cofer and provided bail by two of Johnson's closer associates, the implications are that Johnson was at the very least taking steps to carefully control the trial and its outcome. Many believe that Johnson's objective was to keep his sister Josefa out of the trial and avoid perhaps exposing some of Johnson's corrupt practices. Others were more nefarious in their assessment of Johnson's motives, believing perhaps that Wallace was sent to silence Kinzer after Kinzer attempted to blackmail Johnson through Josefa. All of this possibly coming about, after Josefa said too much to Kinzer  about Johnson's  involvement in the 1948 stolen senate election and perhaps other dealings of Johnson. According to this line of thinking, Kinzer was attempting to strong arm Johnson  and secure an SBA loan to improve the operations of his Pitch and Putt golf course.  You now know most of the scandalous aspects of Estes and how Wallace might have fit in...and it wont be much longer, after the Wallace Mini-Series, that you will hear the story of  Bobby Baker. These men were all members of Johnson's Texas inner circle.  Oh, and there is more on the  Billie Sol Estes affair, so be patient and stay tuned  and you will hear it before we complete the  larger series covering  these four men.  Wallace was indeed a convicted murderer and we take you through the crime in this episode. The murder of Doug Kinser. It will be up to you to determine if this was a crime of passion that did not define who the rather intellectual  Wallace really was, or whether it was symptomatic of his core and the cold blooded killer that Billie Sol Estes made him out to be. All of these  men were quite intertwined around Johnson at the time of the assassination. They  were involved in circumstances that were closing in on Johnson too and that provided him great motive in the killing of the President.  The story is extraordinary.  After hearing of Wallace's possible involvement in multiple murders related to the Estes scandal and possibly even President Kennedy's  murder,  it is time to learn more about just who Mac Wallace really was.  Sit back and enjoy this Mini-Series covering Wallace.Rumors of Johnson's involvement began to swirl almost immediately after the President's assassination and there is a defined school of thought within the JFK assassination research community that staunchly believes in Johnson's involvement.

View "50 Reasons for 50 Years" on Youtube. Watch here. Greg & Len reflect on over 25 years of Black Op Radio. Greg was the very first guest on Black Op Radio in 2000! Len & Greg were both friends with whistleblower Col. L. Fletcher Prouty before he passed away. Len created the "50 Reasons For 50 Years" series for the 50th anniversary of JFK's murder & to counter Gary Mack's lies. Greg was interviewed on "The Men Who Killed Kennedy" over 22 years ago. Watch here. While "No Smoking Gun" has been the go to phrase of the media, Greg explains we've had "smoking guns" for decades. The "Silence of the Media" despite there being several smoking guns has lead to the delay in justice for JFK. Dr. David Mantik wrote an article "The Silence of the Historians" years ago. Read here. Greg encourages Congress to initiate another investigation into JFK's assassination & review all info learned. Over the decades the National Archives has fought to have documents to remain sealed & squash the investigators. CIA document #1035-960 went out to all of the station chiefs on how to handle the criticism of the Warren Report. We've had this document for decades, if it had been recently released, would the media consider this a "smoking gun"? The CIA tries to stifle thought, conversation & research into critical thinking citizens who investigate JFK's assassination. Western Cartridge Co. FBI doc. dated Dec 2/63, Subject: JFK assassination, written in response to Mr. Belmont's memo. This FBI memo is evidence of the bias investigation, wanting the ammo to be traced & put in Oswald's hands. Stalin's top man in the secret police, Beria, "you show me the man and I will find you the crime". Targeted lawfare. In the United States, you investigate the crime & see where it goes, not the other way around. Western Cartridge Co. in East Alton, Illinois manufactured 4,000,000 rounds for the USMC in 1954. Order was authorized under government contract DA-23-196-ORD-27. FBI memo states this is probably CIA connected. The interesting thing about this order is it's for ammo for weapons that the does not fit any weapon issued by the USMC. The FBI memo regarding the Mannlicher-Carcano cartridges was also shared with Division 5 & Division 6 of the FBI. The FBI is stating the ammo is 9 years old, purchased by the CIA, under the USMC cover. How did it end up in the TSDB? If this document had been released 2 weeks ago, would the media be saying that this is a "smoking gun"? View document. What if we'd not had the LBJ Tapes this whole time? Would these be considered a "smoking gun" by the media if just released? In a recording with Hoover & LBJ, LBJ asks Hoover how Connally was hit if Oswald was shooting from behind? How could Connally be shot if he was never between Jack & the TSBD building? Another "smoking gun". Hoover is basically saying Kennedy was shot from the front! Media remains silent. The media was AWARE of the lies, glossing over ALL of the "smoking guns", yet continues to make sensationalist stories. Greg doesn't have any high hopes over the release of the recent JFK files. The media has failed. The reason that we don't have all of the information should not be the government refused to release documents. Len mentions if the media reviewed the working file on George Joannides, it would be like hieroglyphics to the media. The media is failing! With shows like Joe Rogan & Black Op Radio, people do not believe the Warren Commission. With every release of documents, nothing is released that actually proves the case that...

Over six decades ago, Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas. A few days later, Oswald himself was killed by Jack Ruby. A week later, President Lyndon B. Johnson tasked the President's Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy (commonly known as the Warren Commission, after named after chairman, Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court Earl Warren) with investigating the assassination.Recently, we interviewed a lawyer who worked on that commission: Burt W. Griffin. Judge Griffin was assistant legal counsel to the Warren Commission. He was especially tasked with investigating issues related to Ruby. He recently authored a book on his experience investigating the murder: JFK, Oswald and Ruby: Politics, Prejudice and Truth. He spoke to us about his initial reaction to the assassination, why the lawyers on the commission wanted there to be a conspiracy afoot, and what he learned as he dug into the case.Support your local book stores!

JFK The Enduring Secret
Episode 264 Lets Pivot To Mac Wallace Part 1 Of A Deeper Dive

JFK The Enduring Secret

We temporarily leave the Billie Sol Estes Mini-Series and pivot now to a Mini-Series on Mac Wallace. Today's episode rewinds the tape and takes us all the way back to 1945 when Wallace was in college. After  12 episodes covering  the story of Billy Sol Estes, it's time to take a temporary pivot in order to learn more  abut Mac Wallace, at this point in the story. You now know most of the scandalous aspects of Estes and how Wallace might have fit in...and it wont be much longer, after the Wallace Mini-Series, that you will hear the story of  Bobby Baker. These men were all members of Johnson's Texas inner circle.  Oh, and there is more on the  Billie Sol Estes affair, so be patient and stay tuned  and you will hear it before we complete the  larger series covering  these four men.All of these  men were quite intertwined around Johnson at the time of the assassination. They  were involved in circumstances that were closing in on Johnson too and that provided him great motive in the killing of the President.  The story is extraordinary.  After hearing of Wallace's possible involvement in multiple murders related to the Estes scandal and possibly even President Kennedy's  murder,  it is time to learn more about just who Mac Wallace really was.  Sit back and enjoy this Mini-Series covering Wallace.Rumors of Johnson's involvement began to swirl almost immediately after the President's assassination and there is a defined school of thought within the JFK assassination research community that staunchly believes in Johnson's involvement. His involvement  in both the assassination and its cover up. Join us in one of the most fascinating story tells of the Kennedy assassination and stick around as we will be returning to the Mexico City series right after we complete this min-series that was spawned by the recent release of the Billy Sol Estes and Cliff Carter tape that the two recorded in 1971. Folks, you just can't write this stuff. Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over  the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it,  were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. This  real-life story is more fascinating than fiction.  No matter whether you are a serious researcher or a casual student, you will enjoy the fact filled narrative and story as  we relive one of the most shocking moments in American History. An event that changed the nation and changed the world forever.

Glenn Beck Special. Who ACTUALLY Killed JFK? Glenn Reveals Assassination BOMBSHELLS Glenn resurrects the iconic Oval Office set used in Oliver Stone's “JFK” film and dives into the massive JFK files release from the Trump administration. Conspiracy theories swirled for years that rogue CIA elements or Lyndon B. Johnson were behind the murder of Kennedy. Glenn's team, aided by AI, sifted through the thousands of newly declassified documents to test the theories, and what they found was troubling: CIA wiretapping, media infiltration, ties to Lee Harvey Oswald's rifle and ammo. But what of LBJ's alleged role? Legendary political strategist Roger Stone tells Glenn about his private conversations with President Nixon that led him to write “The Man Who Killed Kennedy.” Afterward, Glenn speaks to Shane Stevens, the grandson of Billie Sol Estes — a Texas businessman with alleged ties to LBJ. In January, he gave a digital copy of a secret family audiotape to "The Alex Jones Show." The conversations alleged that then-Vice President Johnson hired Mac Wallace to kill JFK. But was the tape real, or an elaborate AI hoax? Glenn's team asks a JFK expert to verify its authenticity and for the first time ever, Shane plays the chilling confession live in-studio. Glenn argues that the JFK assassination isn't just history — it's a warning. From Benghazi to 9/11, COVID origins to Trump's Russia probe, the same patterns of secrecy and deception persist. If the CIA or deep state got away with a coup in 1963, what's stopping them now? BLAZETV+ BONUS CONTENT Get it all now, only at https://blazetv.com/glenn • Glenn and Roger Stone react to a buried Nixon tape in which he and CIA Director Richard Helms discuss “who shot John?" • Shane Stevens tells Glenn why he kept family confession tapes that allege LBJ's plot to kill JFK hidden for so long. • Glenn recreates Lee Harvey Oswald's JFK assassination shots with the exact rifle, scope, and rare CIA-requisitioned ammo at a Texas shooting range. Then, he tests the exact angle and speed with a moving target at an Oklahoma ranch. Was he able to hit the targets with the same timing between the three infamous shots? The results raise serious doubts about the “magic bullet theory” and the official lone-gunman narrative from the Warren Commission.
