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. Holland and Lee Bowers because I have discussed them on blog posts about Lane's Rush to Judgment. 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

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. Nagle has also argued there was an assassination plot against JFK in Chicago in early November 1963: There was NO Assassination Plot in Chicago Chad Nagle claims there was an assassination plot against JFK in Chica

Here is a link to my second oral history interview for the Sixth Floor Museum in Dallas. Here is a transcript: Video Record2025.001.0102 - full.mp4 Curatorial Commentary Prior to this 2025 interview, Fred Litwin recorded an oral history with the Museum in March 2020. In that recording, he discusses his first book, I Was a Teenage JFK Conspiracy Freak (2018). The interview may be watched in the Museum's online collections database: Fred Litwin Oral History – Works – The Sixth

I am joined by Dr. Robert Vitt to discuss how Sylvia Meagher treats the evidence against Oswald. Vincent Bugliosi lists 53 pieces of evidence in his 2007 book, Reclaiming History, against Lee Harvey Oswald. I wrote a document which lists them and shows how Meagher discussed this evidence in her 1967 book, Accessories After the Fact. In some cases, Bugliosi listed evidence that was not included in the twenty-six volumes, and I have noted that since Meagher's book is largely li

National security attorney Mark Zaid tweeted out my post on Professor Pearcy's Bad History Lesson yesterday. Gerald Posner then commented on Mark's post: And then Chad Nagle, one of the senior contributors to Jefferson Morley's JFK Facts Substack chimed in. Once again, I am accused of being "paid to pump out tired articles." And I guess it's a bad thing that my blog is free, as opposed to JFK Facts. Over the past couple of years, Jefferson Morley has accused me of being the C

It was an honor to speak with Judge Burt Griffin about his work on the Warren Commission. At 39:00 minutes in, I asked Burt one of the most important questions about the JFK assassination. I strongly suggest that everybody buy a copy of his excellent book, JFK, Oswald, Ruby: Politics, Prejudice and Truth.

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 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 three of us planned for a June visit and I then called some of my other JFK buddies and it was quite the get-together. On Monday morning we stopped at the General Walker house for an o

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. His film, Truth is the Only Client, is terrific -- both in content and in production values. I've watched it several times and I look forward to watching it again soon. I strongly urge everybody to either buy a copy of Truth is the Only Client, or to stream it. Here is their official webpage. Here is the AI summary o

Jefferson Morley seems to be a tad upset. My blog post on his Evelyn Lincoln article hit a nerve. When troll Fred Litwin starts croaking, you know something significant has turned up that worries the anxious and isolated defenders of the lone gunman theory. But what is revealing is that Morley now has a remarkable ability -- he can both honestly quote me and then distort the same quote in the same paragraph! Check this out: (Anyone that is except Fred Litwin. He writes of Li
