20: Trump and the JFK Files

The JFK assassination is back in the news. A House Declassification Task Force is unsealing all the remaining classified files about the assassination, in keeping with a promise made on the campaign trail by Donald Trump. "It's been 60 years," Trump said. "Time for the American people to know the TRUTH." What is it about this case that has made Donald Trump, of all people, suddenly become interested in the concepts of truth and transparency? And what kind of truths will the declassification of these files deliver?  Show notes: www.ghostsofdallas.net [https://www.ghostsofdallas.net/] Support the podcast: https://paypal.me/goodbadbogus [https://paypal.me/goodbadbogus]

19: Flooding the Zone

On January 25, 1967, two men squared off to debate an issue that had become an increasingly hot one, in the fractured and paranoid atmosphere of late 1960s America. Who killed President Kennedy? Had there or had there not been a conspiracy behind his murder? The two participants in this long-ago debate are now dead. But the tactics that one of them used that day to drown out the truth, and to flood the zone with demagoguery and lies, live on today, in the dangerous conspiratorial style of Donald J. Trump … Show notes: www.ghostsofdallas.net [https://www.ghostsofdallas.net/] Support the podcast: https://paypal.me/goodbadbogus [https://paypal.me/goodbadbogus]

17: The Trial of Clay Shaw (Part 5)

On January 21, 1969, at the criminal district court building in NO, proceedings finally got underway in the case of the State of Louisiana versus Clay L. Shaw. For almost two years now, Garrison had been loudly telling the world that he’d solved the Kennedy case. He had repeatedly promised that the proof would be delivered, when the time came. Well, the time had finally come. Garrison’s chance to put up or shut up had officially arrived. And if he didn’t put up, he really was going to look like one of history’s all-time greatest frauds and tools … Show notes: www.ghostsofdallas.net [https://www.ghostsofdallas.net/] Support the podcast: https://paypal.me/goodbadbogus [https://paypal.me/goodbadbogus]

16: The Trial of Clay Shaw (Part 4)

In April 1967, researchers working for the New Orleans DA Jim Garrison found a suspicious entry in the address book of Clay Shaw, the man Garrison had charged with having conspired to murder President John F. Kennedy. The entry was for a man named Lee Odom; the address Shaw had scrawled down for this Odom character was PO Box 19106, Dallas, Texas. According to Jim Garrison, the late Lee Harvey Oswald had once scrawled the same PO Box number in his notebook. Also according to Garrison, Post Office Box 19106 did not really exist in Dallas, and never had. It was “a non-existent or fictional number.” This meant that the number had to be some kind of code. And Garrison publicly claimed to have cracked the code. He announced that the number in the notebooks was an encrypted version of Jack Ruby’s unlisted telephone number: WH1-5601. The telephone code was the smoking gun. Not only did it link Clay Shaw with Lee Harvey Oswald. It also linked both men with Jack Ruby … Show notes: www.ghostsofdallas.net [https://www.ghostsofdallas.net/]
