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

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. 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

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

A year ago, we were all discussing the release of the George Joannides' personnel file. SpyTalk on the Joannides' File, Part Two SpyTalk replies to Jefferson Morley. The Illusion of a Smoking Gun Gerald Posner on the Joannides file. Fact Checking Morley's Fact Check Morley's Fact Check on SpyTalk needs a fact check. SpyTalk on Morley's Nothingburger Gus Russo and Michael Isikoff on the Joannides personnel file. Jefferson Morley's Unbearable Lightness of Being Now that the ent

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. We still don't have the full corpus of the Kennedy assassination documents. Why is that? Every reference to Israel was redacted. Why are there references to Israel in the Kennedy assassination documents? There are -- fact. What is that? All of this stuff should be declassified. There's no national security pretext

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

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

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

Evelyn Lincoln, JFK, and his son. Jefferson Morley's latest Substack post is a complete nothingburger! Her unpublished memoir, entitled "I Was There,” was written in the 1980s. It recounts stories from the first two books with additional observations and informed opinions. The manuscript includes an 11-page “Addenda,” published here for the first time, summing up Lincoln’s responses about the two most frequent questions she fielded: about JFK’s private life and his public dea

Jefferson Morley heralded an exclusive story this week -- about RFK and the Soviets. Three weeks after President John F. Kennedy was shot dead in November 1963, his grieving brother Robert F. Kennedy sent a private message to the leadership of the Soviet Union asserting that the assassination “undoubtedly was the result of a large political conspiracy.” A Kremlin document, dated December 9, 1963, is found in the Russian government’s recently released dossier on JFK’s assassin

Hat Tip: Robert Reynolds and Paul Hoch provided much of the research for this article. Marc Caputo of Axios recently unveiled the identification of a supposed CIA whistleblower. A CIA whistleblower, revealing his identity for the first time, tells Axios he saw a secret document in which an agency official bragged about misleading congressional investigators about Lee Harvey Oswald's activities in Mexico before President Kennedy was assassinated. "It's a blueprint of a cove

Jefferson Morley believes that a recent ABC documentary on the JFK assassination used an outdated animation of the single-bullet theory. Perhaps the biggest journalistic fail was the extraordinary reliance on Myers as a primary source. ABC News failed to report that Myers’ 20-year-old video animation of the Dealey Plaza shooting is a technological anachronism rendered defunct by contemporary photogrammetry. The Knott Laboratory, a Colorado forensic engineering firm hired by f

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

Victor Marchetti Jefferson Morley's Substack recently touted the importance of Victor Marchetti, author of The CIA and the Cult of Intelligence . Morley writes this about Clay Shaw: Marchetti said that [CIA Deputy Director of Plans Tom] Karamessines told him that Shaw was a long-time high-level asset who assisted in operations. Another CIA man, Ray Rocca, said he thought Garrison would obtain a conspiracy conviction . The CIA’s cover story, still believed by credulous reporte
