Episode 226 A Deeper Look at the Radical Right Wing Groups and Characters of the Early 60's Part 5 A Recap of the Characters...So Far Jun 02, 2024

Show notes

Episode 226 is the fifth in a series of episodes where we begin to explore the radical right groups of the 1960's that clearly had great motive to murder president Kennedy. Emerging, alongside civil rights leaders, as a prime target for ire of white racists, anti-communists, and and a wide variety of other conservative groups, President Kennedy was a a target among them all. This aspect of the assassination and the connection of the radical right is little explored. We started many episodes back, with the story of Joseph Milteer but its rather easy to pull on that string and find much more underneath the covers. Today's episode Part 5 is a recap of the characters we have introduced...so far. Part3 and 4 of this new wander addressed the story of Wesley Swift and the Christian Identify Movement. In Part 4, we heard Wesley Smith in his own words. This religious practice evolved from the original concept of British Israelism to a brand of racist religious principles that Wesley Swift took to a new level. His church, the Church of Jesus Christ Christian, would be the glue that bound together the plethora of radical right organizations that are relevant to the JFK story. They are the KKK, The John Birch Society, the White Citizens Councils, The National States Rights Party and the Minutemen. These handful of groups were intertwined with men who weaved their way in and out of the shadowy existence of this intense resistance to societal change. The story is not faceless, and we will introduce many of the key characters in this series of episodes that were key to understanding how the radical right may have participated in the JFK Assassination. But first lets explore a bit about these organizations as we go deeper and deeper and connect the players. Today we go deeper in the history of the Christian Identify Movement as we lay the background for its use by these various right wing organizations.
Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it, were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. This real-life story is more fascinating than fiction. No matter whether you are a serious researcher or a casual student, you will enjoy the fact filled narrative and story as we relive one of the most shocking moments in American History. An event that changed the nation and changed the world forever.

A Conversation with Jefferson Morley, Jeff Crudele, Paul Bleau, and Jonathan Cairns is now live on our JFK The Enduring Secret You Tube Channel May 25, 2024

Show notes

Hello everyone, and this teaser is to introduce another episode that is available on JFK The Enduring Secret YouTube channel. On the YouTube channel, we provide the audience with video episodes that contain content which we don't feature on the regular podcast channel. Episodes which include our series entitled Mysteries of the Enduring Secret, and also we present other spell binding topics that include interviews with JFK researchers and others connected to the case.

Today, we engage in a fascinating discussion with three distinguished guests: Jefferson Morley, Paul Bleau, and Jonathan Cairns.

For years, we have seen the result of public opinion polls in an attempt to determine what the American people at large believe about President Kennedy’s assassination. Was it really the work of a lone nut?…as the Warren Commission would have you believe…or was it a conspiracy to assassinate…and worse yet…was it actually a coup d'état….

The opinion of the American people is what is ultimately important here, so its not surprising that the organized question about it all has been laidd at the feet of the American public…Time and again…and the opinion polls have varied over time….with events like Oliver Stone's JFK movie really moving the needle toward conspiracy when it comes to public opinion…but the truth about the matter, is that very few people in the American public have studied the case in a great matter of depth……for years, the JFK assassination research community, faced with limited access to records and ,therefore, a disproportionate need to speculate….has varied greatly in its beliefs….creating its own myths and undermining the very reason for being…to find the truth…about just who killed JFK and why…

But as the light dims some 60 years later, on the original witnesses to the crime and its aftermath…something interesting is happening….with so much of the puzzle solved…consensus is evolving and while there are still many things unknown ….there also springs in this new age…a fountain of hope…as the mountain of evidence begins to point generally... in the same general direction…that means less controversy perhaps…but it also has spawned a new question…with so much known…now…why not ask the small coterie of individuals that currently possess a great deal of knowledge….about the assassination…what they think…and do it in an organized fashion…an academic approach to conducting survey or poll if you will…and this time…it wont just be the public at large…but it will be a sizable sampling of the JFK assassination research community….

Researcher Paul Bleau takes us through his research to see if if there is consensus on many of the major aspects of this case…and where the research community might concentrate its efforts next…collectively to accelerate the advancement around these last few puzzle pieces that are necessary to solve the who, why, and how...tthat still seems to exist…at least in part…around the case…

And today we have the distinguished Jefferson Morley with us ti discuss Paul Bleau's research along with another accomplished researcher Johnn Cairnes. We get a chance to engage in a fascinating array of conversation around a myriad of topics ranging from such subjects as Oswald's statements at the Dallas County Jail to the questions around Oswald's involvement in the intelligence community. There are no dull moments in this conversation... so stay tuned…and keep listening….

And without further adieu. please get on over to the You Tube Channel and listen to today's episode.

Show notes

Join us on our You Tube Channel for our latest episode of Mysteries of the Enduring Secret. Could there have been military intelligence personnel in Dealey Plaza on November 22nd whose sole purpose was to capture in real time video format the events that became the actual assassination? Researcher Steve Osborn became privy to a man who was there and who was part of the team assigned to capture and beam the video back to a central location. Mr. Osborn first revealed this in testimony to the Assassination Records Review Board (ARRB) in 1994. The story was not taken seriously enough to spur additional investigative efforts by the ARRB. Now, hear the entirety of this story retold by Mr. Osborn himself as Rick Russo and I interview Mr. Osborn on our latest episode of Mysteries of the Enduring Secret.

Episode 221 James Meredith and the Oxford Riot Part 5 (Final Episode of the Wander) Apr 07, 2024

Show notes

Episode 221 is the fifth and final episode of a mutli-part wander that is the story of James Meredith and the Oxford Riots. Meredith was the first black man admitted to the University of Mississippi. Most who are familiar with the history, recall the tense moment of his admission, but few understand the extent of the violence which encompassed the event. By the end of September 1962, Meredith's attempt at registration had become an ongoing affair. After his initial rejection , he filed a lawsuit in federal court claiming racial discrimination and the suit prevailed and it set the stage for a massive showdown as the beginning of the fall school semester came upon the university. The story had beginnings reminiscent of the Little Rock 7 entering Little Rock High School and the intervention by the armed forces in that integration case. Mississippi Governor Ross Barnett would adopt the Doctrine of Interposition and assert that the state of Mississippi had the right to defy a federal court order and declare a federal law null and void. He would instruct all state employees and officers including law enforcement to resist the admittance of James Meredith to Ole Miss. The situation would escalate and become the largest invocation of the Insurrection Act of 1806, Over 31,000 national guardsman, federal marshals, other law enforcement officers and members of the military would be activated for the event. The degree of domestic disturbance and the related violence and extensive involvement of the military would be taken to a new level. A level not seen in prior civil rights disturbances, and a level that would set the stage for intense retribution from the radical right. This wander into the depth of violence and hate is done to demonstrate that which was present in the form of danger to all who opposed the civil rights movement and especially leaders such as John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy and
members of the civil rights movement including Martin Luther King.
Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it, were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. This real-life story is more fascinating than fiction.
