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.

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.⚠️ Spoilers lie ahead!

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's clear to see how people trusted the government more in the 1960s than they do today. One conspiracy theory around Lane's book is that it was partially funded by the KGB. (Oh that good old Cold War propaganda game.) Lane denies this claim, of course.So what do we think of Rush to Judgment?

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 Zapata  regarding the Bay of Pigs really shows what a giant sh*tshow it was from the beginning. Was this evidence of the planners being morons or was this done intentionally to force Kennedy into deeper military action?➡️ Poppy Bush is a cofounder of Zapata Petroleum in 1953. Two naval vessels were repainted and renamed for their usage in the Bay of Pigs invasion. The names selected were "Barbara" and "Houston."  Links:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bay_of_Pigs_Invasionhttps://www.history.com/news/bay-of-pigs-mistakes-cuba-jfk-castrohttps://www.amazon.com/Operation-Zapata-Ultrasensitive-Testimony-Inquiry/dp/0890933766https://www.amazon.com/Plausible-Denial-Was-Involved-Assassination/dp/161608359Xhttps://www.c-span.org/video/?3367-1/bushs-cia-involvement-early-1960shttps://aarclibrary.org/notices/George_Bush_CIA_Operative_by_Joseph_McBride.pdfNeed more?

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/archives/jfkwha-244-001http://americanradioworks.publicradio.org/features/prestapes/jklbj.htmlhttps://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/happened-jackie-kennedy-answered-phone-183856490.htmlhttps://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/ykafh0/congressman_albert_thomas_winks_at_president/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madeleine_Duncan_BrownClip from "Remarks at a Dinner Honoring Representative Albert Thomas, Houston, Texas, 21 November 1963"  public domain.

A fake death using Hollywood props and make-up? A trap door in the limo? A cop supposedly nicknamed "JFK" who also died? 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 Buckle up because you get that and more in Jay Weidner's documentary JFK X: Solving the Crime of the Century. Some reviewers have noted that this should be called a mockumentary rather than a documentary because the ideas presented are so outlandish. And they are very bizarre and kooky. The sad thing about it for me is that we can throw the baby out with the bathwater here because Weidner actually brings up some coherent questions re: the Zapruder film, the autopsy, and the strange death of Mary Pinchot Meyer.⚠️ Spoilers lie ahead. Also: by nature of the topics discussed in this film, this episode will have more than its fair share of gore. It is what it is.

Kubrick himself labeled Dr. Strangelove as a "nightmare comedy," which seems like a pretty good summary. ➡️ The titular character is a sort of comedic parody of real Operation Paperclip scientists. ➡️ How close did the world really get to nuclear holocaust in the 1960s?➡️ For me, George C.

I recently watched RFK Jr's interview with VLADTV. If nothing else, it's interesting to listen to someone's own defense. So often we hear the worst of the worst and many people involved in the stories are no longer alive to offer a rebuttal or file a lawsuit for defamation. Even if JFK hadn't been murdered, since he was born in 1917, he wouldn't still be with us in 2024 to counter some of the bizarre and spurious claims we hear.To Vlad's credit, he doesn't lob softballs. There are questions about heroin addiction, flunking the bar exam, Mary Kennedy's suicide, Joseph Kennedy's rumored involvement in bootlegging, ties to the mafia, the infamous sex diary, etc.  Links:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBEUJcRSZnUhttps://consaracytheories.com/f/do-we-have-a-unipartyhttps://consaracytheories.com/f/in-the-middle-of-a-super-bowl-no-one-wantedhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_P._Kennedy_Jr.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathleen_Cavendish,_Marchioness_of_Hartingtonhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_P._Kennedy_Sr.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NRA8HsoIFghttp://tinyurl.com/yc6ubeskhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_A._McConehttps://spartacus-educational.com/JFKruizW.htmhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Marcellohttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1125110/13047720https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Harrelsonhttps://www.nga.gov/collection/art-object-page.200814.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Rosellihttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Giancanahttps://www.amazon.com/Kennedy-Biography-Perennial-Political-Classics/dp/006196784Xhttps://www.amazon.com/JFK-Unspeakable-Why-Died-Matters/dp/1439193886https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_F._Kennedy_assassination_conspiracy_theorieshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Richardson_Kennedyhttps://nypost.com/2013/09/08/rfk-jr-s-sex-diary-of-adultery/https://www.newsweek.com/robert-f-kennedy-jr-jeffrey-epstein-private-jet-rfk-interview-1849875https://www.privateequitywire.co.uk/environmental-activist-robert-f-kennedy-jr-joins-vantagepoint-venture-partners/Need more?
