  • Summary

  • The 1950s and 1960s were a time like no other, with the Russian-American cold war, the age of spies and espionage. During the sixties, there were more assassinations of country leaders than at any other time, including John F. Kennedy, which has led to so many theories about who was behind the murder it can be confusing. This podcast will cover this time period from every angle possible

  • Fred Litwin - Oliver Stone's Flim-Flam

    Fred Litwin - Oliver Stone's Flim-Flam
    Mar 11 2023

    In his timely and powerful new book, Oliver Stone’s Film-Flam: The Demagogue of Dealey Plaza, author Fred Litwin debunks the major allegations in JFK: Destiny Betrayed -- Oliver Stone’s 2021 documentary series on the JFK assassination.


    Litwin’s book examines:

    • The formation of the Warren Commission.
    • The relationship between JFK and the CIA.
    • Why Jack Ruby killed Oswald.
    • How the medical evidence supports a lone gunman.
    • The role of imperfect memory in witness testimony.
    • A refutation of a possible alibi for Lee Harvey Oswald.
    • The chain of custody of CE 399 - the bullet found at Parkland Hospital.
    • The insidious claim that JFK’s physician, Dr. George Burkley, participated in a cover-up.
    • Spurious allegations about General Curtis LeMay.
    • Supposed plots against JFK in Chicago and Tampa.
    • The homophobic persecution of Clay Shaw by Jim Garrison.

    Oliver Stone’s Film-Flam is extensively sourced and contains over 600 links to the internet (in the Kindle version), as well as excerpts from many JFK assassination documents.


    Litwin’s book will interest historians and film critics, fans of President Kennedy, and anyone interested in the debunking of conspiracy theories. It will certainly become a necessary addition to any JFK library.

  • Brad Meltzer - The Nazi Conspiracy

    Brad Meltzer - The Nazi Conspiracy
    Feb 15 2023

    From the New York Times bestselling authors of The First Conspiracy and The Lincoln Conspiracy comes the little-known true story of a Nazi plot to kill FDR, Joseph Stalin, and Winston Churchill at the height of World War II.


    In 1943, as the war against Nazi Germany raged abroad, President Franklin Roosevelt had a critical goal: a face-to-face sit-down with his allies Joseph Stalin and Winston Churchill. This first-ever meeting of the Big Three in Tehran, Iran, would decide some of the most crucial strategic details of the war. Yet when the Nazis found out about the meeting, their own secret plan took shape—an assassination plot that would’ve changed history.


    A true story filled with daring rescues, body doubles, and political intrigue, The Nazi Conspiracy details FDR’s pivotal meeting in Tehran and the deadly Nazi plot against the heads of state of the three major Allied powers who attended it.


    With all the hallmarks of a Brad Meltzer and Josh Mensch page-turner, The Nazi Conspiracy explores the great political minds of the twentieth century, investigating the pivotal years of the war in gripping detail. This meeting of the Big Three changed the course of World War II. Here’s the inside story of how it almost led to a world-shattering disaster.

    Pearl Habor - Thomas Kimmel
    Dec 12 2022
    A noted Pearl Harbor scholar, former FBI agent, and eldest grandson of Admiral Husband E. Kimmel, Commander of the Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor during the attack on December 7,1941, Tom Kimmel comes from a family of distinguished scholars and government servants dedicated to protecting America. Notwithstanding the preceding, his grandfather was accused from the well of the House of Representatives of failing to prevent World War II, and the Cold War. His fourth great grandfather was accused of starting the Revolutionary War, and the Whiskey Rebellion. Tom welcomes the opportunity to respond to the allegations. A graduate of the US Naval Academy, Tom served on three warships during the Vietnam War and attended John Marshall Law School prior to joining the FBI in 1973, where he continued to serve his Country as an agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation for more than 25 years.
