MKULTRAmerica: Lee Harvey Oswald, JFK, and the CIA
Mar 24, 202502:31:00Tap to summarizeMy guest Cory Hughes (on Substack) is the greatest living researcher on the JFK assassination, whose book A Warning From History will absolutely convince you that Lee Harvey Oswald was a fake identity created by the CIA, and that there were at least four shooters, possibly five, with direct, provable ties to the CIA. We discuss how they planned, carried out, got away with, and blamed Oswald for the assassination of John F. Kennedy. This episode answers these big questions, laying out Oswalds fake identity and the motivations and actions of the other participants in the assassination, but it raises far more questions and leaves them unanswered. If you find this interesting, or haven’t been convinced, you absolutely MUST READ his book. Please subscribe to Cory’s podcast and listen to him on Jake Shields Fight Back.Also check the first installment of MKULTRAmerica on the Unabomber.

Transcribe →Michael Tracey on Trump, Syria, Tulsi Gabbard, and More
Dec 12, 202401:27:57Tap to summarizeWhile I support Trump, I’m not a cultist or die hard, and my show rarely criticizes him. I harbor grave misgivings about the people he’s surrounded by, and my hope is that Trump subjugates them to his cult of personality and his will. Ultimately, I am optimistic about the future with Trump as president. I do feel the valid criticisms of Trump need to be aired, and I strongly dislike his critics from the right or the left. In my opinion, Michael Tracey is the most honest and informed critic of Trump who doesn’t seem to have an ideological chip on his shoulder. In other words I support Trump from what I like to think is the same position whence Tracey criticizes him: unaffiliated with any party or ideology. I strongly encourage you to read his pieces criticizing Trump and his aids, and follow the links in these essay to his work throughout the year.Make sure to follow me on Substack!
