You have to give credit to journalist turned JFK conspiracy theorist Jefferson Morley. He is certainly persistent in his promotion of misinformation about the assassination of the 35th President. And he is able to find sympathetic (or just in need of content) media outlets that are willing to provide him with a platform to promote his nonsense. Morley's latest victim is Flemming Rose, a Danish journalist and author. Rose interviewed Morley after the noise made by his latest JFK "revelation" —an anonymous "whistleblower" who claims to have visited secret CIA archives where he or she saw both a video tape labeled "Mexico City" and a document describing the CIA's intentional obstruction of the House Select Committee on Assassination's investigation. Morley told Rose that he "called on all the old critics to point out where I am wrong. They don't want to get into the debate that I have a point about the CIA and the Kennedy as...

JFK conspiracy researcher and author Jefferson Morley held a press confernce via Zoom on October 7, 2024 to promote his latest JFK "revelation" about an anonymous source who claims to have seen a secret JFK file archive. Morley has made a video of the press conference available to paid subscribers only . Morley stated he was hosting fifteen journalists but only seven bothered to ask questions. One of the inquisitors was likely Fernand Armandi who introduced Antonio Veciana at a 2014 conference of the Assassination Archives and Research Center. Morley used the beginning of the Zoom call to lanch into a seventeen-minute disertation on his theories. But was the information that he relayed to the assembled journalists really just propoganda? Morley's assertions to the group are in blue followed by my rebuttal. And I went to [Jane Roman] with John Newman, a historian and army intelligence officer, and we interviewed her. And we showed her the newly declassified records...

UPDATE: The Table of Contents for the timeline may be found HERE . Ancestry and Early Life 1880-1943 is now available. This timeline expands on one that I did many years ago for an old website called the Lee Harvey Oswald Page, which ran from about 1998 to 2004 and is still online although it is no longer updated. The purpose of that timeline was to give students and newcomers a very general overview of LHO's life. The goals of this timeline are threefold. First, I want to provide a chronological look at an important part of the life of LHO that can be used as a tool for researchers. Secondly, by using quotes and correspondence from the principal figures in his life as well as documents created by the Warren Commission and other investigations, I hope to present a narrative that may be appreciated by anyone interested in twentieth century history. Finally, I hope that the logical progression of the chronology format will help to convince readers that LHO was exactly who he...

Fred Litwin, one of the top JFK researchers and authors around, has written his fourth book. It's called A Heritage of Nonsense . Fred does something not all JFK authors do. He goes out and visits document archives of all types and obtains primary material. Please check out this fine book which features debunkings of nine Garrison myths including Rose Cherami and Richard Case Nagell. The Kindle version is a steal at $4.99.

UPDATE: The anonymous source referred to by Morley has been identified. He is Dr. Thomas L. Pearcy, a former State Department-CIA historian and conspiracy buff. Fred Litwin further debunks the Pearcy story HERE . Introduction On October 4, 2024, conspiracy author Jefferson Morley began promoting a forthcoming article that he called the “most important JFK story I’ve ever done.” On "X" Morley claimed : I've been reporting on the JFK assassination story for three decades now. Next week, I'll be publishing a revelatory story that penetrates and disrupts the government's 60-year-old account of the assassination. The story adds more detail to what I reported in my Dec 2022 “smoking gun" revelation at the National Press Club: the existence of a top-secret CIA psychological warfare operation involving Lee Harvey Oswald from Jan to Nov 1963 that the CIA still conceals via overclassification. Of course, Morley’s much ballyhooed 2022 presser turned out to be...

Conspiracy author and researcher John Newman did the world a favor when he published research in his book Into The Storm that refuted many of the claims of one Antonio Veciana. Theses claims concerned when and under what circumstances Veciana allegedly met his CIA handler Maurice Bishop whom he eventually maintained was really David Atlee Phillips—one of the favorite villains of the conspiracy crowd. Newman also provided solid evidence to show that Veciana was tied more to Army Intelligence than he was to the CIA. My eBook, The Bishop Hoax , demonstrated that Veciana lied not only about the things named by Newman but about anything that suited his varied purposes. The Conclusion chapter of my book lays out Veciana's most significant prevarications. But instead of telling his followers that Veciana is not worthy of belief in any regard, Newman has incorporated the anti-Castro activist into his sprawling conspiracy theory to end all conspiracy theories. A recent conversati...

Photo credit-Jefferson Morley Last Edited 12-1-24: Don't ask me why, but I recently picked up John Newman's Popov's Mole and thereby started a trip down a deep rabbit-hole. In fact, out of the myriad issues related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the subject of Yuri (sometimes spelled Yuriy) Nosenko and the search for Popov's mole may be the most complex of all which is saying something. So, how far down that rabbit-hole I am willing to travel remains to be seen. But I did stumble on one matter that is immediately debunkable. First, some background. Newman believes that Nosenko was a false defector designed to divert attention from the KGB and their mole in the CIA. The identity of the mole? None other than Bruce Solie of the CIA's Office of Security. This concept is very convenient for Newman and other supporters of his work. That is because Solie was the person largely responsible for Nosen...
