Dr. Thomas Pearcy gave a speech on Monday night in Indiana on "Plausible Deniability." The people who came to hear an esteemed historian lecture on a fairly important topic instead heard a conspiracy theorist spouting a bunch of recycled speculations and factoids. He doesn't get around to discussing his supposed important document finds for over an hour, until my point ten below. And thus, the conspiracist part of his lecture helps us assess the credibility and reliability of

I want to thank Robert Reynolds for his research in finding all the relevant documents below. I strongly urge people to have a look at his excellent website on the JFK documents. Professor Thomas Pearcy was on Indiana radio on July 28th to help promote a major event on August 3rd. If you remember, Pearcy is the person who claimed to have seen a secret CIA document in which they bragged about keeping G. Robert Blakey in the dark. I wrote a blog post about this in December of 2

After two ridiculous hearings on the JFK assassination and a silly hearing on MK-Ultra, Anna Paulina Luna is ready to strike again. Luna's Ridiculous Hearing Luna's second hearing -- I don't know what was worse - the silly testimony of the witnesses or the brainless questions of the committee members. Jefferson Morley's Congressional NothingBurger An analysis of Congresswoman Luna's Congressional Hearings. MK-Ultra -- Once Again An examination of Luna's hearings on MK-Ultra.

Anna Paulina Luna held hearings on MK-Ultra last week, and Stephen Kinzer, author of the 2019 Poisoner In Chief: Sidney Gottlieb and the CIA Search for Mind Control, and Tom O'Neill, author of the 2019 Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA, & Secret History of the Sixties, testified on the program. Kinzer made the sensible suggestion that the CIA unredact all the current documents on MK-Ultra. But O'Neill continued with the conspiracy nonsense from his book Chaos. Here is an excerpt

Jefferson Morley announced this week that he is taking a leave of absence from his Substack, JFK Facts. Here is his text: Rep. Anna Paulina Luna announced today that I have been appointed as an adviser to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. I’m honored to be assisting the Committee in writing a report on the status of JFK assassination files since the implementation of President Trump’s Executive Order 14176. To give the report the attention it deserves, a

Hat tip: Randy Owen published a comparison of the Oswald letters on Facebook, and Paul Hoch sent me additional information. The recent release of a Soviet Union file regarding the JFK assassination that was released by Congresswoman Luna solves two JFK mysteries. Included in the file was this letter by Lee Harvey Oswald to the American Embassy in 1960. It is described in the listing as: Letter from L. H. Oswald to the Consular Section of the US Embassy with a request to be in

Here is another view of Luna's ridiculous JFK hearings: By Alexis Coe, presidential historian “Dear Ms. Alexis Coe: The Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets requests your testimony ...” It was such a dignified pseudo-summons. I might have framed it, had the actual hearing — unsubtly and inaccurately titled “The JFK Files: Assessing Over 60 Years of the Federal Government’s Obstruction, Obfuscation, and Deception” — not devolved into a bleak farce. Of course,

Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna was just interviewed by Joe Rogan, and there were some incredible moments. Interdimensional Beings and Alien Technology The discussion started off on the topic of interdimensional beings and alien technology: (0:13) Rogan: What did you think about the whole UFO thing before you got into office? Luna: So, I actually had, when I was stationed at Portland Air National Guard, my job there was an airfield manager, so I would interface and work a lot

Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna came up with a bombshell yesterday; She announced that the KGB files on Lee Harvey Oswald would be released in the fall. “I’ve been told that the KGB had actually observed Oswald in Russia when he was there as a citizen, and he was actually not a good shot,” Luna told Cuomo. “This is not also the only piece of information that we have.” The KGB observed Oswald in Russia? Who told her? That's news to absolutely no one. This is yet another indica

Screen shot from the Luna hearings with Dr. Curtis showing his diagram of the shots. My initial thoughts. More to come. I must be a glutton for punishment. I watched the complete two hours+ of the Luna hearing and I thought my brain would explode. I don't know what was worse - the silly testimony of the witnesses or the brainless questions of the committee members. Congresswoman Luna opened the hearing with this: The objective of the Task Force is not to indulge in conspiracy

Michael Isikoff has written an excellent article on the circus this week in Congress. I was privileged to be part of the conversation. You can listen to the podcast here. In fact, the declassified Oswald dossier isn’t all that new—much of it had been released with minimal redactions years ago. And it proves virtually nothing: It consists largely of newspaper clippings about Oswald’s 1959 defection to Russia, cables from the State Department about his interactions with the U.S

I was all excited when I heard that Congresswoman Luna would be hearing from witnesses this week, and I wondered if this person might be her first witness. Update Here is an email that Congresswoman Luna sent out today: If you click on the survey you will taken to a fund-raising page. Previous Relevant Blog Post Is Congresswoman Luna a Luna-tic?

Congresswoman Luna was the subject of this Substack post, and you can instantly see a clue that she is not quite right. Look at the book on the left side of her desk: Mortal Error: The Shot That Killed JFK by Bonar Menninger, published in 1992. Menninger tells the story of Howard Donahue, a firearms expert, who believes that Oswald fired two shots (one missed and the other hit Kennedy and Connally) and that the fatal head shot was fired by George Hickey, a Secret Service agen

Conspiracy theorists were ecstatic yesterday when Florida representative Anna Paulina Luna announced that she believed there were two shooters in the JFK assassination. Here is a transcript of the above video: Rep. Luna: I think we'll be very supportive. And we've also been told that the CIA, CIA director is very supportive. To put in perspective, I think that this issue transcends not just one administration, but multiple administrations, and it hasn't been until now that we
