    About this Episode

    IN THIS EPISODE~ Rarely does the Anniversary of the Tragedy In Dallas coincide with our Study Group's upload schedule. This year, this eventuality has indeed occurred. THUS, such a Special Occasion deserves...a Very Special Guest! Monica Perez Jimenez sits down with us to discuss the Incredible, Eventful, and Suspenseful life of her late mother, Marita Lorenz.
    A childhood spent partly in a concentration camp; Fidel Castro's mistress at 18 years old; Sent on a mission to assassinate Castro by future Watergate burglar Frank Sturgis; meeting Lee Harvey Oswald in a CIA Training Camp; and~according to Lorenz~ participant in a caravan from Miami to Dallas just days before the Kennedy hit with a cadre of violent Anti-Castro Paramilitary Operators and a cache of rifles, where she met Jack Ruby and E. Howard Hunt just hours before the Hit.
    With Frank Sturgis.
    We'll get into Miss Monica's fascinating story as well: from growing up the daughter of a former South American Dictator to a First-Hand Account of the night Frank Sturgis came to New York to kill her mother, and Miss Monica~all of 15 years old~ALMOST succeeded in killing him first.
    You do NOT want to miss a minute of this one. Perhaps the MOST ENJOYABLE time I've ever had getting to know someone on this podcast. Informative, Fascinating, and FUN.

    #209~Feb.24, 2024: " 'Alleged Facts' And The JFK Hit: What We Now Know Vs. What We Once Believed", With ALAN DALE.
    IN THIS EPISODE~ We are again joined for an in-depth conversation with Esteemed Historian, Author ("The Devil Is In The Details", with Malcolm Blunt), Podcast Host ("JFK Conversations"), life-long Student Of Political Assassinations and much-respected Critical Thinker, Mr. Alan Dale.
    We start with a simple question: "What do we K-N-O-W, verses what we believe?"
    This leads us into a super-wide-ranging discussion that touches on topics such as: The phenomenon of "alleged facts" morphing into "actual facts" by virtue of repetition; the effect of Ego on Assassination Research; the recent descernible pattern within The Research Community of attempting to legitimize Ridiculous Assertions with no basis in reality simply by finding an illegitimate way to attach the name of CIAs George Joannides TO said Ridiculous Assertion; The FBI and Lee Harvey Oswald, from Mexico City to Dallas; why George Joannides would NEVER show his face in a Congressional Hearing Room while working undercover, the importance of Professor Peter Dale Scott's work to our ongoing efforts, the importance of simply being aware of one's own Evidentiary Prejudices, the importance of a finely-tuned BS-meter, and MUCH MUCH more!

    #208~ December 30, 2023: "DECLASSIFIED: The CIA's Secret 'Crash Investigation' Of The JFK Hit."
    IN THIS EPISODE~ Last year saw the release of a completely-unredacted version of an affidavit/memo from the JFK Files containing testimony from a career CIA employee, now known as "The Heath Memo." If you blinked you probably missed it, and that's a shame, considering the potentially explosive implications of the assertions contained in this memo, realized once studied in detail, and context has been absorbed.
    That's exactly what we'll attempt to do in this episode. Using The Mary Farrell Foundation's JFK Assassination Documents Archive, The AARC, and Bill Simpich's masterwork-of-a-book "State Secret" as our Primary Resource Material, we will dissect & dig into The Heath Memo and follow a road from CIA's JM/WAVE Station to Dallas, Cuba, New Orleans, Lee Oswald in Mexico City, and a highly-educated, highly-trained, carefully chosen, specialized and little-known group of Anti-Castro Intelligence Operatives who worked only in the shadows, and were fiercely loyal to the man who assembled them.
    CIA's David Sanchez Morales.

    #207~ November 24, 2023: A. "My Weekend In Texas, My Visit To Dealey Plaza", B. "Intellectual Honesty And Assassination Research."
    IN THIS EPISODE~ This past weekend (Nov. 17th-Nov. 19) I had the immense pleasure of attending the awesome and highly enjoyable "November In Dallas 2023" Assassination Research Conference by JFKLancer Publications in Dallas, Tx! We will begin by recapping this fantastic weekend filled with friends, colleagues, listeners, new information, fellowship, education, and damn good coffee at the hotel-adjacent taco stand.
    THEN we move to The Studies. We go from an awsome conference to some awful conjobs. Taking our cues from the works and wisdom of Dr. John Newman, we'll delve into the realities behind (2) alleged-"Trustworthy Whistleblowers" in the JFK Case, both of whom have come under scrutiny in recent years in the wake of Primary Resource Material releases by The Federal Government. The reason? The Declassified Historical Record is proving their claims to have either been simply not possible, or simply completely false,.
    PLUS~ the phenomenon of folks in The Research Community who will look you in the face and vehemently defend these two specific individuals by citing 25-year old speculation-filled books in the face of newly-released, formerly declassified Primary Resource Documentation that preclude any possibility of these individuals' claims being true.
    WHY, though?
    Cognitive Dissonance? Inability to reason? Analytical laziness? Narcissistic Personality Disorder? Vodka in plastic bottles? Boomeritis?
    We'll analyze! Right here!

    The witnesses inside The TSBD at the time of Shots-Fired will be our primary focus. Who they were, where they were, what they said, what they saw and heard, who stuck to their story, who changed their story, and who had their story changed FOR them.
    Along the way, we'll touch on Bart's journey through Assassination Research, more revelations regarding the Interrogations Of Lee Oswald, the chronology of the discovery of Lee Oswald on the front steps, The Wiegman, Darnell, and Couch Assassination Films, why Doug will never claim to have found the secret diaries of Felipe Vidal Santiago, and MUCH, MUCH MORE!

    #205~ June 22, 2023: "Operations 'NORTHWOODS' And 'MONGOOSE': RFK, Lansdale, And CIA."
    IN THIS EPISODE~ Thanks to the "decidedly-NOT-grounded-in-Primary-Resource-Material-Study"-variety of books, blogs and movies over the years, our understanding of the truth of the dynamics between the Kennedy Brothers and the National Security Apparatus has become a bit...skewed...over the decades since The President's murder.
    Sadly, many people newer to The Case are unaware of the truth of this dynamic. For example, some actually believe that "Operation MONGOOSE" was a CIA operation, or that Allen Dulles had a hand in "Operation NORTHWOODS". Or worse, that CIA placed Brigadier General Ed Lansdale in charge of MONGOOSE. Why? Because they heard an "expert" say it, saw it in a movie, or read it in a blog or book.
    We will read and discuss Primary Resource Documentation regarding MONGOOSE, and take a Deep Dive into the JCS-proposed horror show that was NORTHWOODS, and look at (1) aspect of NORTHWOODS that seems to have intrigued the Attorney General. So much so that~six days after JFK rejected it~ RFK circled back with the JCS, to see if it might really work.

    IN THIS EPISODE~ The recent April 27, 2023 release of 355 previously-redacted JFK Assassination Records yields to us the fascinating story of an investigatory lead provided to J. Edgar Hoover regarding pre-knowledge of Lee Harvey Oswald, originating in Germany. Our trip through the documentary record will take us from Oswald to Hoover, Warren Commission Chief-Counsel J. Lee Rankin, CIA's Richard Helms, Ex- US Army General Edwin Walker (and the April '63 Walker Shooting), and Hitler's very-own Anti-Soviet Intelligence Chief, former Nazi General Reinhard Gehlen.
