My favorite tidbit about JFK is that the JFK movie (which contains 0 references to Israel) was produced by Arnon Milchan, who helped funnel nuclear secrets and material to Israel

Oswald's story of military service then "defecting" and being used as a scapegoat by the government reminds me of Timothy McVeigh.

Assuming this is a real letter, McVeigh makes some interesting admissions about his CIA recruitment while at Ft Bragg.

Amazing guest, have been waiting forever for a deep dive on Oswald, super looking forward to his research about him in Russia. All the stuff I've read and listened to about this topic, this guy is the most impressive. Really loved your Unabomber ep as well...

The i is short in Percival. Per-sih-val. But I can’t be annoyed, your enthusiasm and excitement while building the case for your point is infectious. It’s too good.

Great episode. Anyone know where the video is for the Oswald stream is or if it's still available? Info is great but not being able to see the images is frustrating.

Hey Astral have you watched Ian Carroll's deep dive into one Colonel Robert Ferrera and CIA black money? I think it ties neatly to this story.

Here is a 44 minute video summarizing most of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67-3OoC0_wY

He also did several livestreams deep diving into this trust, the characters and the Money/Gold involved (Look under Playlists; CIA)

Not to be the "Ackchyually" guy but MKULTRA experimentation wasn't just inflicted on American citizens, there were more than a decade of experiments at the Allen Memorial institute in Montreal, primarily on Canadian citizens. My wife worked with a woman whose mother had been experimented on. The mother was long institutionalized. The woman was a complete mess as a result.
