Richard Dudman Richard Dudman was a reporter for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Here is what he wrote in The New Republic in December 1963: A few of us noticed the hole in the windshield when the limousine was standing at the emergency entrance after the President had been carried inside. I could not approach close enough to see on which side was the cup-shaped spot that indicates a bullet had pierced the glass from the opposite side. Note that he couldn't get that close. Here

This file was written before it was known that Garrison was investigating the JFK assassination. Money Quotes: JUDGE MACHAUER said that he is convinced that District Attorney JIM GARRISON is psychotic, and that his ability for clever political acting is concealing this reality from popular public consumption. ... MACHAUER stated that it is GARRISON'S completely immoral public accusations against other public officials using cleverly contrived charges without any regard for su

Jim Garrison was clearly not happy with Sylvia Meagher's extensive critique of his book. I found this Garrison letter that he wrote to his literary agent in the files of Richard Sprague, the Warren Commission critic who specialized in the photographs of the case, at the National Archives. This is the first time, to my knowledge, that it has been published on the internet. Garrison really goes after Meagher and says she was mistaken "on virtually every major point which she ma

Philip Pochoda Sylvia Meagher was hired by Prentice-Hall in 1986 to act as a referee for Jim Garrison's new book. Meagher accepted the job: Garrison then sent in his last chapter: Here is her report, and here. Meagher recommended that Prentice-Hall publish Garrison's book largely because he now believed that Lee Harvey Oswald was totally innocent. In 1967, Garrison had said that Lee Harvey Oswald was a co-conspirator with Clay Shaw, and that incensed Sylvia Meagher. In her a

On this episode, I review Sylvia Meagher's book, Accessories After the Fact: The Warren Commission, the Authorities & the Report on the JFK Assassination. Here is a link to Meagher's critique of the Warren Report from November 1964. It's not very impressive -- she even has a section on mysterious deaths (page 18). Here is some text from my upcoming book, a history of conspiratorial thinking in the JFK assassination, on Sylvia Meagher: (hat tip to Bill Brown for some of this)

I first came across Kaitlyn Tiffany when she wrote this article in March 2025: I wrote Ms. Tiffany an email introducing myself and I provided a link to my blog post about the Schlesinger memo which had just been unredacted.

Tucker Carlson discusses the JFK assassination in this recent interview: (3:40) Tucker Carlson: I just hope that we get mass disclosure going back to at least 1963.

An important part of Abraham Bolden's story is that he tried to contact the Warren Commission to tell them about Secret Service deficiencies and the supposed plot against JFK in Chicago. But did Bolden actually try to contact the Warren Commission? In May 1964, Bolden held a press conference at his home in Chicago. Here is what he said about contacting the Warren Commission: Chicago Daily News, May 20, 1964 Bolden said that two weeks earlier, he had told another agent "I'm go

I was in Dallas last week for three full days of touring with my JFK buddies. Sean Gaston, a high school teacher in Pennsylvania and Michel Gagne, a College Professor in Montreal, and author of Thinking Critically About the Kennedy Assassination: Debunking the Myths and Conspiracy Theories.

The Assassination Archives and Research Center (AARC) has published an essay by Charles R. Drago on the supposed plot in Chicago to kill JFK. This is quite the embarrassing essay. Right off the top, Drago writes that "my primary source is "The Plot to Kill JFK by Edwin Black, as published in "The Chicago Independent" of November, 1975." In fact, Black's article is the ONLY source for the supposed plot and his information came from only one source -- Abraham Bolden. There is n

I cannot fully explain what happened to Salim, but I thought it would be instructive for readers of my blog to read the full story.

I first met Salim in 2010 while he was a Professor at the University of Western O

Chad Nagle has written an article for Jefferson Morley's Substack on MK-Ultra and Lee Harvey Oswald. Back in 1983, when online publishing was barely a twinkle in anyone’s eye, Rolling Stone magazine published an article entitled, “Did Lee Harvey Oswald Drop Acid?” Co-authored by Martin Lee, Robert Ranftel, and Jeff Cohen, it tells an uncorroborated yet intriguing tale suggesting that MKULTRA may have somehow caught JFK’s accused assassin in its web. A respected New Orleans as

The Daily Mail in the UK excerpts a new book about UFOs: The story is an excerpt from Kaplan's upcoming book: Of course Dorothy Kilgallen is part of the story: Kilgallen was a friend of President John F. Kennedy, and became part of Marilyn’s inner circle after they met in 1960, during the filming of Let’s Make Love. She had a long-standing interest in UAPs.

It was a real pleasure to talk with Todd Kwait - a true Renaissance man. He has had several careers -- as a lawyer, businessman, record producer, and film maker.
