The End of Innocence – The Assassination of John F. Kennedy

The story presented here takes place in the Dallas jail, 34 hours after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The facts have been called by G. Robert Blakey, Chief Counsel for the House Select Committee on Assassinations, "real," "substantiated," "very troublesome," and "deeply disturbing." He went on to say that, while this is only a small part of the large mystery of the Kennedy assassination, it raises questions that remain "unanswered," makes inferences which are "ultimately inconclusive," and is therefore an "unanswerable mystery."

In this week's episode of the End of Innocence- The JFK Assassination, we look at Lee Harvey Oswald's arrest in the Texas Theatre. How does the official story of what happened differ from what witnesses who were there that day say happened? And were there two Oswald's in the theatre that day and was Jack Ruby in the theatre?

This week on the End of Innocence - The JFK Assassination, we take a look at whether Donald Trump will release the remaining sealed JFK assassination files if he is re-elected. Also, we take a look at what the CIA may be hiding in those files that have been hidden for almost 61 years.

This week on The End of Innocence - The JFK Assassination, we start answering listeners questions that have been emailed into me. This week's question is, WHY DID LEE HARVEY OSWALD LEAVE THE TEXAS SCHOOL BOOK DEPOSITORY AFTER THE ASSASSINATION IF HE WAS INNOCENT?

Episode 72 is out today! It’s a response to a recent National Review article by Rich Lowry titled “Sorry Everyone, Oswald Still Acted Alone.” I have some counterpoints to Mr. Lowry's article that you don't want to miss. I feel like I proved him wrong on almost all accounts.

In this episode of the End of Innocence, we will take one last look at the assassination attempt on ex-President Donald Trump. What could the Secret Service be hiding? And how was there no communication between the Secret Service and the local police on the day of the rally?

It seems that Thomas Matthew Crooks, who attempted to assassinate Ex-President Donald Trump on July 13th, was very interested in the John F. Kennedy assassination and Lee Harvey Oswald. We'll discuss that in this week's episode of The End of Innocence.

When 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks shot at former-President Donald Trump on July 13, the American public was ready with conspiracy theories explaining how and why he did it. And that shouldn’t come as a shock. Most Americans think President John F Kennedy was assassinated as part of a conspiracy, either by the US Government, Cubans, or the Mafia. They’re primed to believe their government is keeping secrets from them—because it is.

In this week's episode we are going to listen to Part 2 of Penn Jones' 1966 interview on KPFA radio. This is a very rare and important interview from one of the best JFK assassination researchers of our time. In this interview he talks a lot about Jack Ruby's connections to the Dallas Police and more about some mysterious deaths that happened to researchers and witnesses after the assassination.

In this week's episode, we will listen to a very rare 1966 interview with Penn Jones Jr. about his book "Forgive My Grief." Penn had some significant things to say in this interview and the fact that he uncovered some of the things he did so early into the investigation speaks to what a great researcher he was. This is a very important interview with an introduction by author and researcher James Di Eugenio.

Over the past several episodes, we have been looking at heroes in the JFK assassination research community. This week I wanted to share with you about my research hero. He is said to be the grandfather of the JFK assassination researchers. His name is Penn Jones Jr, and his story is one that needs to be told.

A big thank you to Zach Rateliff of 107.1 KTFS News Talk Radio for having me on this morning for an interview. I hope you enjoy listening to the interview as much as I did taking part in it.

Over the past several episodes, we have been looking at heroes in the JFK assassination research community. This week I wanted to share a story with you about my friend and fellow author and research colleague, Jim Marrs. Jim's book "Crossfire" was a source for Oliver Stone's 1991 movie "JFK."

In this week's episode, we take our last look at Mark Lane's 1967 documentary, "Rush to Judgement." We will hear from a witness who saw the J.D. Tippit shooting and from several witnesses who were in Dealey Plaza when the President was murdered. We will also hear from the woman who took the most famous picture of the President at the exact moment of the fatal headshot.

In this episode, we will hear from witnesses to the assassination interviewed by author and attorney Mark Lane for his 1967 documentary, "Rush to Judgement." These were first-hand, boots-on-the-ground witnesses who saw the assassination of Kennedy happen before their own two eyes. Their account of what happened that day will make you doubt what the government tells us about the killing of the President.

In this week's episode, we continue to look at heroes of the JFK assassination research community. This week we hear from one of the earliest challengers of the Warren Commision's report on the assassination. Mark Lane was a relentless researcher and his early criticism of the Warren Report helped pave the way for researchers like myself today.

On May 13, 2024 the JFK research community lost one of its heroes. Dr. Cyril Wecht has been a fighter for the truth about the Kennedy assassination for 60 years but his fight ended last week. In this week's episode, we pay tribute to Dr. Wecht and I thank him for the time he spent with me over the years and the inspiration he was in my own search for the truth about the assassination.

In this week's episode, we are going to hear the story of Dallas Deputy Sheriff Roger Craig. He was one of a select few Dallas police officials who had the bravery to tell exactly what they saw the day of John Kennedy's assassination. While others hid in the corner, Roger Craig spoke out and it ultimately cost him his life.

This week on the End of Innocence - The JFK Assassination, we look at maybe the person who benefited the most from JFK's death, Lyndon Baines Johnson. Did LBJ play a role in Kennedy's assassination and if so, what role did he play? The answers may surprise you.

This week I would like to proudly announce that a 35-year journey of research on the John Kennedy assassination has now been put into book form. "The End of Innocence - The Assassination of John F. Kennedy" is now available on amazon books and barnes and noble.com. If you purchase the book I would love to hear your comments at: [email protected]

In this week's episode, we look at the second part of trying to answer the question, "Did the Mob kill JFK?" We hear a startling confession from the Mob godfather himself, Carlos Marcello. What he told an FBI informant could be the answer to the biggest mystery in American history. Who really killed JFK.

In today's episode, we take a look at the buildup to the JFK's murder and what kind of a role the Mafia may have played in the assassination. How could they have benefited from killing Kennedy and what mafia godfather spilled his guts to an informant while in prison.

As we study and talk about the assassination of John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963 and search for answers as to who, what and why. Could the answer to who was behind Kennedy’s murder be found in who benefited the most from his assassination. That’s what we’re going to look at this week.

What if I told you that in 1962 the US government proposed a "false flag" plan to President Kennedy that called for CIA operatives to commit acts of terrorism against American military and US civilian targets, so they could blame the acts on Cuba and justify a war against Cuba. This operation was called OPERATION NORTHWOODS and President Kennedy rejected it. But just over a year and a half later, on November 22, 1963, would the plan that Kennedy rejected be used against him?

While it's no surprise that Lee Harvey Oswald's fingerprints were found on the 6th floor of the Texas School Book Depository on November 22, 1963. He worked in that building and primarily worked on the 6th floor daily stacking boxes of books. So, his fingerprints should have been there. But guess whose fingerprint was also found on the 6th floor the day of the assassination........ LBJ's hitman Mac Wallace! And just for the record...... he didn't work there!

In this week's episode of the End of Innocence - the JFK assassination, we do a complete overview of the Jim Garrison investigation that would result in the acquittal of Clay Shaw. Will Jim Garrison ever get his vindication in the history of this case?

In this week's episode of the End of Innocence, the JFK Assassination. We listen to a few very rare interviews and witness statements as we get ready to cover the Clay Shaw trial next week.

In this week's episode of the End of Innocence, the JFK assassination..... we continue to look at what Jim Garrison was doing in the almost two years between the arrest of Clay Shaw and the start of the trial.

In this week's episode of the End of Innocence, we continue to take a look at the Jim Garrison investigation of Clay Shaw in a conspiracy to murder President Kennedy. Shaw has been arrested and now the wait for the trial is on. Garrison would find himself being attacked by the national media during the time between the arrest of Shaw and the start of the trial. But he would fight back and even made an appearance on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.

In this week's episode of the end of innocence, we continue to look at the Jim Garrison investigation into the murder of President John F. Kennedy. Just as Garrison's star witness, David Ferry is murdered, a new name arises in the investigation, Perry Raymond Russo. What Russo says he saw and heard in the month's leading up to the investigation is shocking. But can he be trusted?

This week we continue to look at the Jim Garrison investigation into the murder of President Kennedy. While Garrison was trying to get to the bottom of what happened in Dallas that awful day, the government was trying to destroy not only his case but Garrison himself.

In this week's episode we continue our series of episodes on the Jim Garrison investigation. While some have labeled Jim Garrison as a fraud and a crazy man, this researcher labels him as a true hero in a story that is desperate for a hero.

In what will be a several-episode series, we will start looking at the only man to ever prosecute anyone for the assassination of John F. Kennedy. This week we start looking at the Jim Garrison investigation. His investigation was the basis for the 1991 Oliver Stone movie, JFK and one day I think history will finally reveal that he got much closer to the truth of what happened in Dallas than the Warren Commission did.

In this week's episode we will look at Lee Oswald's mysterious time in New Orleans in the Summer of 1963, just a few short months before the assassination. Who was Guy Bannister and David Ferrie and what kind of role could they have played in the assassination? Was Oswald there playing a role and if so, WHY?

In this final episode of the Zapruder film, we will look at what the Warren Commission says the film told them versus what researchers and investigators believe the film shows. Why did the Warren Commission almost ignore the evidence from the film of the President's murder? Did it not fit into their official story?

This will be the first of several episodes on what would become the most important home movie in the history of our country. Of course, we are talking about the Zapruder film. This week we discuss how the Zapruder film came into being and how it almost never existed at all.

In this week's episode of The End of Innocence - The JFK Assassination, we take a look at Michael and Ruth Paine. Ruth would play a key role in the life of Lee and Marina Oswald, maybe more of a role than she's willing to admit.

Could J. Edgar Hoover have corroborated in late November of 1963 what Ex-Secret Service Agent Paul Landis is now saying in 2023? Could the "magic" bullet have been exactly where Landis said he found it?

Something that has been public information for years was hiding in plain sight and no one bothered to question it. A close examination of a recorded phone call one week after the assassination of John F. Kennedy between President Lyndon Johnson and FBI director J. Edgar Hoover reveals some startling information. Could two of the most powerful men in the country know that someone besides Lee Harvey Oswald shot at President Kennedy?

As we approach the 60th anniversary of the JFK assassination, we take a look at some things John F. Kennedy did in the last few months of his presidency that most likely played a part in getting him killed.

In this week's episode I wanted to share about my trip back to Dallas for the first time in a while. I share my thoughts on things I witnessed in Dealey Plaza and how I feel after touring the 6th floor museum for about 10th time. As we approach the 60th anniversary of the assassination in two weeks, will we ever know the truth about what really happened in Dallas?

In this week's episode, we take a look at the remarkable story of Dorothy Kilgallen, also known as the reporter who knew too much. She would investigate the JFK assassination and become the only reporter to get an interview with Jack Ruby. She said in the Fall of 1965, that she was about to blow the cover on the JFK assassination and reveal who really killed JFK. Then she was found dead!

In this week's episode, we look at the shot that killed President Kennedy almost instantly, the fatal headshot. Where did that shot come from and what did the Parkland doctors see when JFK arrived at the hospital immediately after the assassination? Was the exit wound in the front of the head or the back? We will hear first-hand testimony from those doctors in today's episode.

In this episode, we are going to go along with the Warren Commission and say that Oswald was in the 6th floor, when nothing I have seen, heard or researched tells me he was. But just for this episode, we are going to say he was. So, if he was there in the 6th floor southeast corner window, was he capable of doing the shooting? We are going to look at that in today’s episode of the End of Innocence.

In this week's episode we take a look at how the rifle in evidence is likely not the rifle that the government claims killed JFK. We also hear about how the Dallas Police made sure witnesses picked Oswald out of their lineups. And did you know that the FBI was tracking Oswald many months before the assassination. Why?

This week we look at the arrest of Lee Harvey Oswald inside the Texas Theatre. Was he arrested in the balcony or the first floor of the theatre? Was he led out the front door after his arrest or out the back door? Was there one Oswald arrested at the theatre that day or TWO?

In this week's episode, we continue to look at the shooting of Dallas Police Officer J.D. Tippit. We will hear from Warren Commission star witness to the shooting, Helen Markham. And was Lee Harvey Oswald an "Olympic" runner. He must have been if he shot Officer Tippit. Listen and I'll explain what this all means.......

In this week's episode, we take a look at the shooting of Dallas Police Officer J.D. Tippit. This is the crime that Lee Harvey Oswald was actually arrested for. He was not arrested for killing President Kennedy. But if Oswald killed Tippit, then he must have shot the President.............what!

In this week's episode, we look at one of the most tragic and disturbing stories that resulted from the assassination of President Kennedy. The story of Ralph Leon Yates. A husband and a father of five children who got caught up in the whirlwind of the JFK assassination and it changed his and his family's life forever!

In this week's episode 9, we take a look at the two competing stories in the record of Oswald’s getaway from Dealey Plaza after the assassination. One on a public bus and the other in a Nash Rambler. And were there TWO, Lee Harvey Oswald's in Dallas leading up to the assassination. The answer may surprise you!

After last week's explosive episode, we hear from more witnesses in Dealey Plaza that support what Lee Bowers and Ed Hoffman saw behind the picket fence atop of the Grassy Knoll. We hear from several railroad workers who were on top of the triple underpass and had a great view of the entire plaza and assassination.

In this week's episode we look at two of the most important witnesses of the JFK assassination. One witness who saw two mysterious men, before the assassination, behind the picket fence area on the Grassy Knoll and another man who saw one of those same men fire a shot at President Kennedy with a rifle from that same spot!

According to the Warren Report, “Secret Service agents assigned to the motorcade remained at their posts during the race to the hospital. None stayed at the scene of the shooting. If that is true, then the testimony of this week's witnesses, raises some troubling questions for the Warren Report.

This week we look at where Lee Oswald was at the time of the shooting of John F. Kennedy. The answer may surprise you!

In this episode we're going to follow President's Kennedy's motorcade through the streets of downtown Dallas as he heads towards the "kill zone" in Dealey Plaza. As the motorcade was driving through the streets of downtown Dallas what did some of the witnesses in Dealey Plaza see before the assassination.

In this week's episode we pick up President Kennedy's motorcade as it leaves Love Field and heads towards downtown Dallas.
