Filled with questions and contradictions and downright deception. Let's disect this one together as a logical place to go after the Clinton series.

  • Episode 236 A Deeper Look at the Radical Right Wing Groups and Characters of the Early 60's Part 13 The Real Reason Oswald Went to Clinton Bonus Episode Covering More on the Clinton Tie In
    Nov 13 2024

    Episode 236 is the thirteenth 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 a bonus episode covering more on the Clinton tie in and the litigation and investigations that defined those moments and the real reason Oswald was in Clinton. Today's episode supplements the two part mini-series on this topic. As a juror, listen to this episode as we tell the real story of why Lee Harvey Oswald's handlers took him to Clinton. Sit back as we explain how the social context of the story in part 1 which takes us all the way back to the House Un-American Committee and the Senate SiSS committee. Both of these government committees were actively investigating subversives at the time and engaged with Guy Bannister and others to help do so. Part 2 ties it all together and tells the story of how the raid at the Southern Conference Education Fund was an integral piece of this puzzle. Part 3 explores the larger Context of the fight in Clinton and why it was the tie in for the radical right and their violent resistance to the voter registration drives that were going on in the day. Clinton was a much larger historical factor than has previously been discussed in the JFK story. The story and explanations in this two part miniseries may be the most plausible explanation yet for what Oswald was doing in Clinton and the next episode 235 presents the details of why this seems so believable. Much of this theory comes from author Jeff Caufield's book entitled General Walker and the Murder of President Kennedy. As the jury, you be the judge of whether this was the real reason Oswald went to Clinton. And then ponder what it means for how Oswald might have been used in Dallas and just who deployed him there... Join us throughout this series on the radical right as we highlight th the nexus of ultra right wing characters that help us understand more intuitively how the radical right may have fit into the picture of the assassination. Characters that advance our understanding of the nexus of connections between a wide array of actors within the radical right. And with this exercise, we show how so many of these connections lead back to New Orleans and Dallas and to particular figures of the radical right including Guy Bannister. A nexus of connections with a common thread of hatred for President Kennedy.

    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.

VERY LONG WINDED

Some nice tidbits of info among a lot of talking. Probably could have done it in half the episodes. I could swear he is saying "Osweld" not "Oswald". "Just saying" as Jeff says a million times. The word "wound" is pronounced with an ooh sound...not a long "o" ......wond???? Would not dwell on this stuff but it is constant and drives me nuts along with "without further adeiu" and "sleeping dogs lying"

Maybe the best podcast devoted to this topic

This guy's good! Even his "wanders" and southern accents (in impersonation of Dean Andrews) are way better than he gives himself credit for. He does this all while maintaining a balance and even-keel rare in podcasts of this topic. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in the JFK Assassination.

Never Thought …

…I’d devour a JFK conspiracy podcast. I’ve listened to each and all of Jeff’s episodes in the last 3 weeks. Fascinating, erudite, balanced, and absent the histrionics and “out there” assertions that often steer me away from this genre. He shies away from nothing, taking on it all, but always calling it as his well informed eyes see it.

Jeff’s side trips, and topical cul-de-sac stop offs to address collateral subjects are always a treat. His episodes on the history of Cuba and Fidel Castro are worthy of their own stand-alone topical podcast series.

And finally, Jeff’s humanity, his personal and family anecdotes, sharing joys and challenges with listeners is the absolute icing on the cake.

Try it. You’ll like.

Expertly detailed

I have listened to this podcast since it began. It is well researched and delivered. More details on every conceivable aspect of the JFK assassination. If you’re into deep dives, this is the deepest.
