Thomas Powers won a Pulitzer Prize in 1971 together with Lucinda Franks for his articles on Weatherman member Diana Oughton. New York Times, October 30, 1977 Money Quote: It is not just easy, but almost irresistible, to make fun of the Kennedy assassination skeptics, with their Oswald doubles and triples, the ectoplasmic gunmen on the grassy knoll, the phantom C.I.A. agents hovering over Oswald's shoulder, the logical proof that Oswald, the so-so Marine sharpshooter, could no

Hat tip: Jerry Shinley and Paul Hoch provided the research for this blog post. One of the problems in the debate on the JFK assassination is that some people move right to conspiratorial explanations before exploring more mundane solutions. Just crack open the latest conspiracy book and you'll see this principle in action over and over again. For instance, any redaction in a document can only be explained by something that is nefarious. If you don't like the Sixth Floor Museu

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

A photograph of Perry Russo from the files Richard Billings. Dallas Morning News, March 15, 1967 Money Quote: "I never heard of Oswald until on television (until) the assassination," Russo said in the interview. He said Ferrie never mentioned Oswald's name. Here is a link to a post about that interview. And yet here is Russo's testimony at the trial: And then there is this from the grand jury: And here is what Russo said at the preliminary hearing: Russo's interview on WDSU w

Dallas Times Herald, November 19, 1963 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

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

Here is a link to Steve Roe's oral history interview with Stephen Fagin. Steve donated a copy of True Adventures Magazine to the Museum which contained the ad that Oswald used to order his Smith & Wesson revolver. Here is a link to Steve Roe's first oral history interview. Steve Roe is a terrific researcher on the JFK assassination and he is an expert on the attempted murder of General Edwin Walker: Steve Roe Posts on the Walker Shooting On the Trail of Delusion, Episode 5,

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

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

Finally, the proof we have all been waiting for. Hold it. The News Director of KTRH thinks this is only a story if Garrison follows up the lead? But if Garrison doesn't, it's not? That says something. What kind of news director is this? He didn't even call up the other people who could corroborate the information. I wonder what happened.
