I have recorded two interviews with Robert and it was time for a third to catch up on the latest news on JFK documents.

I recently found this article on George Mantello and am reproducing most of it here. His story is important and it is very unfortunate that so many conspiracy books paint him as a villain. Here is a link to the original article. There are more documents about George Mantello in this blog post. by Yehudis Litvak, July 26, 2026 He forged thousands of passports and risked his life to save Jews from the Nazis, then exposed Auschwitz to the world In 1944, a wealthy Transylvanian b

This story all started with a telephone conversation between Vincent Salandria and Sylvia Meagher in late August 1966. Here is an excerpt from her notes: Lane says re RFK "certainly interested and has been -- Tr-R [Hugh Trevor-Roper] personally visited by K man." Professor Hugh Trevor-Roper wrote the introduction to Mark Lane's book, Rush to Judgment. The October 7, 1966 issue of Peace News featured an interview of Mark Lane by Roger Barnard. Lane was asked if he had received

My friend Sean DeGrilla has a new website, The Oswald Archive, that I think is quite important. His website contains a blog, and here is a link to his first article: Sean is the author of MALCONTENT: Lee Harvey Oswald's Confession by Conduct, a book which I strongly recommend. Sean has had a career in law enforcement and his analysis of Oswald's statements after this arrest is terrific. Sean has a new book, Communistic Tendencies: The Writings and Beliefs of Lee Harvey Oswald

President Ngô Đình Diệm of South Vietnam Chad Nagle makes it seem like JFK did not approve the coup that ended in the assassination of Diem. On Nov. 1, 1963, President Diem and his brother, a top advisor, would be overthrown and murdered by Vietnamese military officers. The members of the junta that replaced them had been in close contact with U.S. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. and the CIA. JFK was aghast at the killings, having never wanted anything worse than exile for D

Yesterday, I posted an article on the physics of momentum in ballistics. Here is an article by Lucien Haag on the same topic. Hat tip: Hideji Okina. Money Quote: From the calculations presented here and the demonstrative tests, it should be abundantly clear that typical small arms projectiles impacting gunshot victims do not and cannot, cause any major or significant body movement in the victim as a result of momentum transfer of the dissipation of kinetic energy in the gunsh

Here is text of the first part of the letter for those who find it hard to read: Dear Penn: This will reply to your letter of 21 October 1967 in which you say: "I didn't know until recently that you convinced Tom Bethell to give Jim's plans to Shaw's attorneys. If you care to I would love to have the story for The Continuing Inquiry." I have always felt proud that I was among the first of the critics to realize that Garrison was a dangerous charlatan and that I denounce him p

Did Lee Harvey Oswald see this story? He read yesterday's newspapers every day at the the Depository, so it is likely he saw this -- probably on Wednesday, November 20, 1963. I am sure he would have been incensed by this story. This was discussed in the Warren Report. Just as he was probably angry about this story in the September 9, 1963, issue of the New Orleans Times-Picayune. Wesley Liebeler managed to get the Times-Picayune article into the 26 volumes, but not into the

Here is my book review of Josiah Thompson's Six Seconds in Dallas. You can download my presentation here: My review of Six Seconds in Dallas is not a comprehensive look at every part of Thompson's book. I didn't discuss witnesses like S. M.

I have tried to focus on what a critique from 1967 would look like -- and so I have not brought in newer evidence like the autopsy X-rays and

Boston Herald, November, 28, 1978 Money Quote: Mark Lane, for those of you mercifully spared any notice whatsoever of his addled ramblings, is a sort of vulture in a man suit who has done his feeding for the past several years off the cadavers of public figures killed by madmen. It is Lane's thesis that a whole bunch of folks were involved in the Kennedy and King assassinations. Lane has gone from campus to talk show to campus and back to talk show again, picking up lecture f

A recent article, written by Mark Bujdos, on Jefferson Morley's JFK Facts Substack paints Lee Harvey Oswald as someone who was "kind and thoughtful." Subtracting the weekends that Oswald spent in Irving at the home of Ruth Paine, where his wife Marina was living at the time, leaves 29 days in total that he spent at the house of Gladys and Arthur Johnson. During this time, Hall and her brothers interacted on a daily basis — and not in any small manner — with the man who would

My friend Nick Nalli was kind to post my oral history project on X. But here is Chad Nagle's response. Chad is a major contributor to Jefferson Morley's Substack and has never taken kindly to my debunking efforts. Have a look at my analysis of a Chad Nagle article.
