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. Episode Breakdown

  Part I - "Stone/DiEugenio Interview by Katie Halper". View here. "The Nothingburgers? Nope". Read Here. Jim's latest book "The JFK Assassination Chokeholds: That Prove There Was A Conspiracy" - Find here. National Archives - JFK Files - Read here. Jim recommends "The Man Who Knew Too Much" by Dick Russell. Purchase Book Here Despite new information about Oswald in the recently released JFK files, mainstream media says "nothing new". In the files there is more info about Oswald's 201 file, Mexico City, Helsinki, Castro etc.. When Oswald was released from the Marines it was from a "hardship discharge", using Marguerite's injuries as an excuse. Typically it takes a few months for the marines to investigate hardship claims but Lee's was approved with in just 11 days. When Lee left the Marines, it was 9 months earlier than when he was scheduled to be released. Rosaleen Quinn who dated Oswald while he was in California recalled Lee was more fluent in Russian than she was. After being discharged, Oswald was only in the Dallas/Fort Worth area for 72 hours before heading to New Orleans. Oswald leaves from New Orleans to France, using the same travel agency as the International Trade Mart. Coincidence? Why was Oswald going to Helsinki important? Was it because Helsinki processed visas within 48 hours? After travelling on a freighter to Europe, Oswald goes to Helsinki & stayed at the Hotel Torni. How did Oswald afford this? Oswald participated in a planned, fake defection program. Without government assistance, how would he afford a 4 star hotel? The Warren Commission avoided going into the intricate details of Oswald's movements and activity in Helsinki. WC investigator David Slawson was definitely curious about Oswald's trip to Helsinki. The CIA and FBI were the main sources of information for the Warren Commission. In 1963-1964, early investigators such as Mark Lane & Joachim Joesten who suspected CIA and government involvement. CIA 1971 memo - appears to have been debate in the CIA whether Kostikov was ever involved in Dept 13. Have you read the Lopez Report? Read here. If Oswald was in Mexico City, why isn't there any photographs or video of Oswald going into the different embassies? Why has the CIA never been able to produce a tape of Oswald's voice? On the Nov 22nd the CIA sent a tape of what they said was Oswald's voice to the FBI interrogating Oswald in Dallas. David Atlee Phillips put out a cover story - all of the Oswald tapes had been destroyed. The Lopez report contradicts this. Dan Hardway and Edwin Lopez wrote up bills of indictment for both Phillips and Anne Goodpasture Anne Goodpasture was Winston Scott's exec assistant. Pulse camera outside of the Cuban Embassy, activated by the door of the Cuban consulate opening & closing. Such a sensitive camera, yet no photos of Oswald? David Phillips claimed the camera was "out that day". The CIA did not want this information included in the volumes of the HSCA investigation. Was the whole Mexico City event a charade? Was the story about Kostikov the capper on the charade with Oswald? Was Oswald working with Kostikov and at the direction of the KGB? The KGB may have hired Richard Case Nagell to find out who was behind the pending plot to kill JFK. Jim recommends watching the 2014 AARC interview with Dan Hardway & Edwin 'Eddie' Lopez. Watch here. Hardway and Lopez worked out of CIA headquarters reviewing files and information until Joannides complicated matters. After Joannides got involved in hampering the investigation, files would be slow and redacted. The HSCA was shut down at the end of 1978 and decreased to a skeleton crew prior to publishing. What wasn't released in the HSCA volumes, was to be classified until 2029. Oliver Stone's "JFK" changed all of that. Part Two - Jeffery Meek In April 3rd, a lawsuit filed by the Nix family against the Sixth...

  New article by Max Arvo, Jack Ruby: A Review and Reassessment - Part 1, on Kennedys and King. Jim recommends 'Death To Justice' by Paul Abbott. Dr. Hubert Winston Smith was psychologist who created the 3 psychiatrist panel to evaluate Ruby. Dr. Louis Joslyn West wrote evaluation of Jack Ruby after being appointed by Dr. Smith. John Washburn's article, Mary Bledsoe and the Bus - Part 1, focuses on Oswald's "escape". Was Oswald on Cecil McWatter's bus? Did Oswald really get into William Whaley's cab when he left Dealey Plaza? The Warren Commission suggested that Larry Crafard may have been an Oswald impersonator. Jack Joins The Revolution, article written about JFK's political evolution. CAPA Conference 2024 is going virtual! Watch online! Was Lee Harvey Oswald in the TSBD window on the 6th floor? Steve Jaffe, member of Jim Garrison's staff, has a memoir with Jim coming out in about 6 months! Ethel Kennedy has passed away at 96 years. Watch The Searchers - a film by Randolph Benson on Vimeo for FREE! Malcolm X's family has started a law suit against the FBI, CIA & NYPD. The Judas Factor: The Plot to Kill Malcolm X: Evanzz, Karl: 9781560250661: Books - Amazon.ca 60th anniversary of the release of the WC's 26 volumes of testimony with supporting "evidence". The Warren Commission Report had been published two months earlier on Sept. 24, 1967. The media already had access to information in the Warren Commission, showing they were in cahoots. The CBS special director Bernie Birnbaun working with the Warren Commission weeks in advance. NBC 1 hour special hosted by Frank McGee & Tom Pettit. CBS special was hosted by Walter Cronkite with Dan Rather. If journalists collude with government conspiracy & lies, is this a violation of journalistic ethics? CBS did not give their outtakes at all. Florence Graves 1978 article in 1978 Washington Journal Review outlined CBS colluding with WC. The Warren Commission suggested witnesses to be interviewed. NY Times prosecuted Ruby in print they day after Ruby shot Oswald. How could Time Life been allowed to buy the Zapruder film & hold it in from the public for 12 years? Why wasn't there an examination of the WC’s 26 volumes of testimony & evidence? Part Two - John Barbour @ 43:05 Len made valuable contributions to The American Media & The 2nd Assassination of President JFK. John loves Len, Len's wife Susan & Susan's father who passed away in recent years. Len appreciates John respects Jim Garrison, Fletcher Prouty, Mae Brussell etc.. John points out that Trump didn't release the remaining JFK files his first go around, will he this time? Many people voted for Trump because RFK Jr. was involved in the campaign. Jefferson Morley has spent over 10 years in the courts in efforts to have Jim Garrison’s files released. Garrison’s files include the names of the shooters. Judge Cavanaugh who Trump sided with was appointed to the Supreme Court. John knows that democracy was shot down on November 22, 1963. Wayne Madsen was interviewed by John Kennedy Jr. shortly before JFK Jr.'s death. JFK Jr. was going to expose significant information about his father’s murder & run for Senate. Dorothy Killgallen was the only person to interview Ruby, after her death her file went to Jayne. Jayne Mansfield was murdered due to her relationship with Jim Garrison & what she knew. Truman on his death bed admitted the worst thing he ever did was create the Security State. Truman dropped the Atomic bomb on Hiroshima despite objections. The 2nd bomb was dropped to warn the Russians. Oliver Stone & Jim Garrison were both punished by the establishment for exposing JFK truth. Oswald paraffin tests show LHO never fired a shot, nor was he on the 6th floor. Garrison lost conspiracy case against Shaw, but won the perjury case with jury deliberating 7 minutes.

In this final episode of Season 2, we continue summarizing the big questions we covered this season, including: Did Lee Harvey Oswald Travel to Mexico City? What did LBJ mean when he told Earl Warren about a little incident in Mexico City? What was the role of Ruth and Michael Paine as it relates to Oswald?  Did Oswald have intelligence connections? Was Oswald impersonated? and what was Oswald up to at the end of the day? Twitter - https://twitter.com/solvingjfk Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/solvingjfk Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/solvingjfkpodcast Tik Tok - https://www.tiktok.com/@solvingjfk Transcripts and Sources - https://www.solvingjfkpodcast.com

Arguably the most famous political assassination of the 20th century, the shooting of John F. Kennedy has ignited scores of conspiracy theories. Was Oswald really acting alone? Could the Soviets have been involved? The CIA? And how does his infamous death affect how we view his legacy? Should he be remembered as charismatic proponent of civil rights who prevented nuclear world war? Or a womaniser who mishandled foreign affairs and was too slow to support the plight of African-Americans?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, we look at some of the most disputed issues when it comes to Oswald's time in the Soviet Union. Was Oswald's historic diary authentic? Did he speak any Russian while he was in Russia? Did Oswald ever follow through on his promise to provide secrets to the Soviets? What can we learn from the back and forth between the State Department Office of Security and the CIA when it comes to false defectors to the Soviet Union? And the big question - Was Lee Harvey Oswald a false defector on behalf of American intelligence agencies?Twitter - https://twitter.com/solvingjfk Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/solvingjfk Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/solvingjfkpodcast Tik Tok - https://www.tiktok.com/@solvingjfk Transcripts and Sources - https://www.solvingjfkpodcast.com

In this week's episode we will look at Lee Oswald's mysterious time in New Orleans in the Summer of 1963, just a few short months before the assassination. Who was Guy Bannister and David Ferrie and what kind of role could they have played in the assassination? Was Oswald there playing a role and if so, WHY?

We look at Oswald's teen years right before joining the Marines. When did Oswald work at Pfisterer Dental Lab and Tujague's Shipping Company? Was Oswald really violent as a kid?

What we know about the Kennedy assassination is what we have been told by the media. Did the media lie? Was the Warren Commission on the straight and narrow, or did they corrupt the information and perpetuate a lie? Were some of the key players Masons? Did Ruby die in jail? Was Oswald a patsy? Ralph will share his research and show us some new research finds and information that shines light through all of the bovine scatology we have been shown.

Part 1 of 3. The Truth About JFK. The Michael Medved Show.  Visit Michael Medveds history website at http://www.medvedhistorystore.com/ These courses can be a bit expensive but worth it. All of the Michael Medved History Series are highly recommended by ACU.    November 22, 1963 remains one of the darkest days in American history; comparably traumatic, for those who lived through it, to the terrorist slaughter of September 11, 2001. The sheer senseless of John F. Kennedy's assassination made his sudden death especially horrifying and the unanswered questions swirling around the tragedy have denied the nation the sense of closure and comprehension that this disaster demands. Assuming that Lee Harvey Oswald murdered the president (as all responsible historians do) why did he do it? Was Oswald's own murder by Jack Ruby a terrible coincidence or an indication of a wider conspiracy? Why do a majority of Americans to this day remain convinced that Oswald didn't act alone? And, most intriguingly, how might a second term have altered the nation's history if JFK had escaped death and won re-election in 1964? In this special history program, Michael Medved speaks with authors of some of the most important new books on the assassination and the Kennedy presidency, including Jeff Greenfield, Robert Dallek, Peter Savodnik and others. He also provides a brisk, comprehensive summary of the indisputable facts of JFK's biography and the tragic hours in Dallas that claimed his life at age 46. Throughout this comprehensive program (with four hours prepared for broadcast, instead of the usual three), Michael stresses five aspects of Kennedy's life (and death) that most Americans misunderstand. 1) His status as an underdog outsider "fighting against the establishment" 2) His youthful vigor, robust fitness and athleticism 3) His visionary "idealism" 4) His character and good judgment and 5) His death as a martyr to a noble cause. The "truth about JFK" turns out to be more complex and fascinating than air-brushed nostalgia and misleading arguments regular promoted by mainstream media.   There are four unique sections and the first one features: -Frank Sinatra singing Kennedy's campaign song "High Hopes" -Kennedy's closing statement at first debate with Nixon -movie trailer for "PT109" which featured Kennedy's war story -A clip from Kennedy's "New Frontier" speech  The second section includes: Jeff Greenfield, author of If Kennedy Lived and Camelot's Court: Inside the Kennedy White House by Robert Dallek.  The third section is a conversation with A Cruel and Shocking Act: The Secret History of the Kennedy Assassination by Philip Shenon and The Interloper: Lee Harvey Oswald Inside the Soviet Union by Peter Savodnik And the final section: The Kennedy Half-Century: The Presidency, Assassination, and Lasting Legacy of John F.

  A new edition of The Girl On The Stairs, witness Victoria Adams In 1967, Barry started to doubt the Warren Commission Vicky was on the staircase at the same time Oswald was supposed to be there Barry interviewed Vicky 35 years later, her story was dismissed by the WC Altered and ignored testimony of Roger Craig, Carolyn Walther, Emmet Hudson The book is the story of the journey of Barry's investigation Victoria's testimony was very consistent, the WC was very interested in her Sandra Styles, who was with Vicky, did not testify to the WC Barry's website, a friend pointed out WC inconsistencies Barry investigated to disprove his friend, but he couldn't The report implied Vicki was alone, it did not mention Sandra Barry viewed the Zapruder film at the archive, he understood its significance The Oswald/Baker/Truly timeline, Vicky was on the stairs at the time In 1999 Barry found the Martha Stroud document re: Dorothy Garner Garner worked with Adams and Styles, she fully corroborated Vicki's timeline She had been questioned by someone from the WC, and told them so Vicki and Sandra should have encountered Lee descending, they did not Was Oswald not on the sixth floor at the time of the assassination? Sylvia Meagher thought so in 1967, Barry knows something was amiss Oswald might have come up using the front stairs of the TSBD Vicky's testimony says she spoke to Shelley and Lovelady, she says otherwise Many events Vicky testified to have supporting evidence Barry arrived at four conclusions: The Warren Report is wrong, They knew it was wrong, The assassination is beyond the capabilities of one man, Finding out who did kill JFK is beyond the capabilities of a private citizen The Warren Report is wrong about Adams, They knew it was wrong, They intentionally made her appear wrong, Adams' account is a critical element to Oswald's whereabouts The Shelley/Lovelady problem meant Adams was either right or wrong Barry discovered the stenographer tapes of April 7th, 1964 are missing Shelley, Lovelady and Adams all testified on that day in Dallas Vicky states the incident was inserted in her testimony The evidence doesn't support Oswald in the doorway of the TSBD You can look for culpability anywhere and find evidence to support Johnson, anti-Castro Cubans, pro-Castro Cubans, CIA, the military, FBI To a citizen it's confusing, frustrating, disturbing Harold Weisberg, Vince Salandria, Gary Schoerner, David Lifton, Penn Jones  

For many people, the most important questions about the Kennedy assassination are “Who killed Kennedy?” and, if Lee Harvey Oswald did, “Was Oswald part of a conspiracy?” This is strange, because we know the answers to both questions: Oswald killed Kennedy and he did so alone. These facts won’t keep people from speculating–everyone loves a mystery–but they might allow us to focus on more pertinent questions about what happened on November 22, 1963 in Dallas, Texas. One such question is this: “Why did Oswald do it?” Obviously, the answer will not be straightforward. Assassinating the President of the United States is, well, not really something a rational person would attempt, so we should not expect a completely rational explanation. Oswald was not crazy, but he was doubtless mentally ill. He had “reasons” for killing the president; it’s just that his “reasons” are not going to make much sense to us. To comprehend why he did what he did, then, we must comprehend how his “reasons” made sense to him. In his insightful, well-researched book The Interloper: Lee Harvey Oswald Inside the Soviet Union (Basic Books, 2013), Peter Savodnik helps us do just this by investigating Oswald’s decision to defect to, live in, and ultimately abandon the Soviet Union. He convincingly argues that Oswald’s Soviet Period was part of a larger pattern, one that dominated his entire life: that of taking on and abandoning identities, always unsuccessfully. Even as a child (and, as Peter points out, Oswald had a horrific childhood), “Lee” never really “fit.” He could never find a group of people he could rely on, a social context in which he could thrive, a community that would respect him. As he matured, he began to search for an identity–in politics, in the Marines, and in the Soviet Union. Yet he was always, as Peter says, an “interloper”: he never lasted long in the skin of any given “Lee.” To this reader, the fact that Oswald was essentially an interloper goes a long way in explaining why he murdered Kennedy. It was his last attempt to fit in, to establish who he really was, to find an identity. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

For many people, the most important questions about the Kennedy assassination are “Who killed Kennedy?” and, if Lee Harvey Oswald did, “Was Oswald part of a conspiracy?” This is strange, because we know the answers to both questions: Oswald killed Kennedy and he did so alone. These facts won’t keep people from speculating–everyone loves a mystery–but they might allow us to focus on more pertinent questions about what happened on November 22, 1963 in Dallas, Texas. One such question is this: “Why did Oswald do it?” Obviously, the answer will not be straightforward. Assassinating the President of the United States is, well, not really something a rational person would attempt, so we should not expect a completely rational explanation. Oswald was not crazy, but he was doubtless mentally ill. He had “reasons” for killing the president; it’s just that his “reasons” are not going to make much sense to us.

Nov. 22 1963. Shots ring out and moments later a young President lay dying in his wife's arms. Only two hours later a young man is arrested while watching a movie. He is charged with the assassination, but, unlike all other assassins, he is the only one to date to emphatically deny he killed anyone. That man's name is Lee Harvey Oswald. Only 3 days later Oswald is a victim himself by a mafia thug by the name of Jack Ruby. Was Oswald the real assassin or was he just the patsy he claimed he was? Was he capable of the shooting? Is he the only shooter? Was he silenced to prevent him revealing the true conspiracy at work? Our guest Rick Nelson lived with Marina Oswald (Oswald's widow) and her husband Ken Porter for a year. Marina gave personal insights that year into the true nature and character of her late husband, one Lee Harvey Oswald. Next to Marina, Rick Nelson just maybe the leading expert on the real Lee Harvey Oswald.
