Welcome to con-sara-cy theories. Are you ready to ask questions you shouldn't and find information you're not supposed to know? Well, you're in the right place. Here is your host, Sara Causey. 

Hello, hello, and thanks for tuning in. In tonight's episode, I will continue my review of Francis Richard Connolly's documentary. Everything is a rich man's trick, as I said in the first part. If you have not already watched this for yourself, I would highly encourage you to do so and make up your own mind. It is lengthy, about three and a half hours long, so it might be something that you have to do in installments, just as I'm having to do the review in installments, but I do think it's important for you to decide for yourself, is the whole thing crazy? Is the whole thing wacko? Or, as I believe, you have some bits and pieces that are accurate, co mingled with things that are fairly weird and bizarre. Let's continue our journey. He continues talking about the links between organized crime and the Charlie India alpha, and in his theorizing here, he pulls all of these people together, and they're the wide group of people that typically get a finger pointed at them, whether it's the Charlie India, alpha the mafia, the rich oil barons in Texas, big business tycoons, etc. His documentary brings all of the above together and points out that they all dislike Kennedy, which is true, and that they were all working in tandem like it's not so difficult to imagine these disparate, seemingly disparate groups coming together for a common goal when you realize that they're all united by fascist ideology. He says that this group of American fascists went to George de Morin shield and said, We need a patsy. And so he became Lee Harvey Oswald's handler, according to Connelly, Oswald was Charlie India Alpha. He was a low level operative, and he had already been sheep dipped anyway, which we believe to be true, to look like some kind of communist, crazy, loser, psycho guy, so he makes the perfect Patsy. Now he, in this documentary, specifically calls out Charles Harrelson, Woody harrelson's Father, who other people have mentioned, as well as Charles Nicoletti and Felix, aka Milwaukee Phil aldericio as being pop poppers. He also claims that between the mafia and Clint Murchison and H L hunt, each of the pop poppers would be paid 50 grand. He also points a finger at Jack Crichton and poppy Bush, saying that they were trying to lay the groundwork in Dallas with Earl Cabell, the mayor of Dallas, who was Charles cabell's Brother, he was one of the people that gets fired whenever Kennedy decides to start cleaning some house at the Charlie India Alpha. He also points out a believed conspiracy that involved the John Birch Society, the KKK, and about half of the Dallas police force at the time, he talks about Marita Lorenz and her claim that she was part of this group called Operation 40, along with Frank Sturgis, and that they were going to try to murder both Castro and President Kennedy, just like let's get all of our enemies out of the way in one fell swoop. He also shows a clip of an interview for a man named Jerry Patrick heming, who I intend to do a complete other episode about when I have time where he claims that he was offered money numerous times to pop pop President Kennedy Connolly claims that Marita Lorenz says that as part of this operation 40 when they were at A motel the night before the murder of JFK, supposedly, e Howard Hunt showed up and gave a huge envelope of cash to Frank Sturgis, and it didn't take much for her to put two and two together what they were really there to do. He also tells the story of Tosh Plumlee flying pop poppers into Dallas without necessarily knowing who they were or what their end goal was he reiterates the story told by Madeline Duncan brown in the Docu series the men who killed Kennedy, and he's presenting it in his documentary like this is fact. It's undisputed it happened. And I'm like, okay, but wait a minute. Wait a minute. He also posits it sit as a fait accompli that Madeline Duncan Brown was not only LBJ mistress, but that her son was lbjs, illegitimate son. But then if you go back and look through the information, it was not proven that her son was LBJ, illegitimate son. So I'm like, there's some information here that I feel like he's i. Cherry picking, and he's presenting these things as absolute fact, instead of saying, this woman alleges, this woman claims, and that, to me, detracts from the overall value of the documentary. When you just put things out there and you're like, well, this this party happened, it just diminishes the overall quality. I think I get it. I'm a stick in the mud. You have plenty of people that love this documentary and swear that every morsel of it is true, but I'm like, no, wait a minute, we still have to be cautious about who we're listening to. Now, he elaborates on this supposed guest list of this crazy ass party at Clint murchison's house as being J Edgar Hoover and Clyde Tolson, as well as the Brown Brothers, as in the two Brown Brothers of Brown Brothers, Harriman, he also points out Cliff Carter and John Connolly and someone named Senator Joseph Yarborough. But I think what he's trying to say there is Senator Ralph Yarborough which I'm like, okay, yet again, if you're going to make a documentary, you should at least be trying to get the basic names right. If you're going to accuse somebody openly like this, you should at least be trying to get their name correct. He also says the mobster Joseph savilla was there. He also calls out the Dallas Mayor Earl Cabell, he also calls out John McCloy. Now whether McCloy was at this infamous alleged party or not, I don't know, but one of the things that Connolly points out is that McCoy shared a box with Adolf Hitler at the Berlin Olympics in 1936 now, this has been documented by other people. I'm going to go now to Spartacus educational I'll drop a link to this so that you can check it out for yourself. McCoy continued to specialize in German cases, and in 1936 McCoy traveled to Berlin where he had a meeting with Rudolph Hess. This was followed by McCloy sharing a box with Adolf Hitler and Herman gearing at the Berlin Olympics. McCoy's law firm also represented IG Farben and its affiliates during this period. End quote, he says Carlos Marcello was also there. He also claims that Jack Ruby and Richard Nixon were there, along with H L hunt. He says that Eamon G Carter, who was the creator and publisher of the Fort Worth Star Telegram was also at this party. He also says that Malcolm Wallace was there. If you tuned into my episode about the men who killed Kennedy, the guilty Men episode, Malcolm Wallace is prominent in that episode. Now we get into the territory of Madeline Duncan Brown, and how she said that LBJ turned up kind of late and unexpectedly, and he wasn't there for very long, and he was pretty pissed off. Now in this documentary, there is another interview with Madeline Duncan Brown. I don't recognize that. It looks like they're just in somebody's backyard. It's not part of the men who killed Kennedy Docu series. So I'm not sure exactly when this interview was taped, but if someone is interviewing Madeline Duncan Brown and asked the question, let's go back to the night before, when Johnson came out of the meeting, what did he say to you? And she says he was so angry he had a violent temper when he was upset. So the interviewer interjects, well, let's use the exact words that he said to you. What did he say to you? She says, he grabbed me by the arm, and he had this deep voice, and he said, after tomorrow, those sobs will never embarrass me again. That's no threat. That's a promise. Now, in some of the stories, this meeting happens the night before, and then I believe there was another interview with a current affair where she said it happened hours before the Pop Pop, so it would have been maybe in the early morning hours, I guess, or early in the day. I'm not really sure what the timeline of this alleged party was, and to be clear, I'm not telling you that Clint Murchison didn't have a party that night, or couldn't have had a party that night with some prominent people. I just think some of the finer details about it are questionable, and it reminds me of old men that go fishing like it starts out the catfish was this big, then it was that big, then it was that big. You know, the fish, over the course of time, gets bigger and bigger every time that the guy tells his buddies about this fish that he caught. It's like this party, this alleged party at Clint murchison's house. It just gets wilder and wilder and the guest list gets more and more intense with more and more high profile people until it becomes

incredible. I mean to me, I'm to the point now where it's like, I'm not sure that we can put any stock in this at all. I understand enthusiasts that are interested in. Studying the pop pop. And think LBJ in particular had the most to gain from the death of John F Kennedy. And I think sometimes people can get overzealous and wanting to believe whatever story is handed to them, but it's like man in the same way that I would say if some woman shows up and goes, Okay, well, I supposedly slept with JFK 80 years ago, and now I want to try to make a bunch of money off of it. Shouldn't we question that? I mean, should we do we automatically believe somebody that says, oh, yeah, I've screwed this guy. I want to make some money. Why not? I mean, like, shouldn't we question the veracity of these stories? I think we should. Again. I can't tell you that there wasn't a party at Clint murchison's house. I'm just highly skeptical as to the guest list, and I'm highly skeptical about LBJ having turned up at this party because he was elsewhere. We know that he was at this dinner to honor Albert Thomas that night. So it's like, Well, did he turn up at three in the morning? I mean, if somebody could give me an actual timeline. The odds of us ever having any kind of photographic proof is nil, I'm sure. But it's like, well, you'd have to give some firmer timeline. Just saying, Oh well, it might have happened in the night. He showed up at some point, but then, then again, I could be misremembering. It might have been in the early morning hours of November 22 it's like, it seems to me that if it was that significant, you wouldn't forget. From here we see the video footage of President Kennedy landing at Love Field, as well as the video of the Secret Service agent who's trying to follow behind the car and position himself behind Kennedy, and then he's told like he's waved away. This is not something that Connolly is making up. This is something it's footage that you can see for yourself that is very odd. So according to Conley, he has this quote, dream team of professional pop poppers in various places, and he shows a diagram in this documentary of where he believes that they were situated around Dealey Plaza. Now he goes on to say that Nixon and poppy were there, like smiling at each other and winking from the sidewalk. And I'm like, I don't know about that. I think, I think now we're getting back into the Clinton Murchison party fish story type stuff. He also claims that the masterminds behind this plot, and he points to this is Conley now, not me, but it was Connolly's documentary. He points to Dulles Lansdale and David Attlee Phillips. They've got all these pop poppers in place, and they have to make sure that in order for the lone

pop, Popper,

crazy cuckoo Patsy story to stick, they can't overdo it. So they have to have firing in four different segments, because if everybody hit the target and they just shredded Kennedy to bits. It would be obvious that it wasn't just one man acting alone with a crappy Bolt Action boom stick in the Book Depository. So they they had to get these people spaced out, and then also on the timing of it as well. Now, Connolly claims that stage one was meant to be Charles Nicoletti from the daltex building. It's Connolly's contention that this is the bullet that missed and caused that piece of concrete to come up off the curb and hit James tag in the face. He says that umbrella man was there to give a signal when the first shot misses, he gives a clear signal that it wasn't successful. It's Connolly's belief that the next round was from two shooters at the same time, trying to make it look like it was just one person doing the firing. He shows clips from an interview with Charles Harrelson, and the interviewer is asking him, you said that you'd killed President Kennedy at the same No, wait a minute. Uh, hang on. Hang on a second. So the interviewer says to Charles Harrelson, you'd said that you'd killed President Kennedy. And then Charles Harrelson responds back at the same time, I said I had killed the judge, I said I had killed Kennedy. And I don't know what the rest of the statement is, because it cuts to another portion of this interview where he's saying, back to the the person that's doing the interviewing. Well, do you believe Lee Harvey Oswald killed President Kennedy? We'll get back to that alone, without any aid from a rogue agency of the US government, or at least a portion of that agency. I believe you're very naive. If you do it's Connolly's contention that harrelson's bullet is the one that hit Kennedy in the throat from the front, and that he was in the area of the grassy knoll. Another pop popper was in this culvert that was over by the triple Overpass, and he was the one. That made the hole in the windshield. Conley believes at this point, because Kennedy has still not suffered a mortal injury, the signal is, give it all you've got. We will just pepper him with everything to make sure that the job does not fail. He says that one of the agents reports that this barrage of fire felt like a jet sonic boom. Connelly believes that it was Frank Sturgis who hit Governor Connally in the car. He believes that additional pop poppers also hit Governor Connolly and then also hit part of the limousine. He believes it was Malcolm Wallace that fired the shot that hit Kennedy in his upper back. And Connolly says at this point, because Kennedy still is not mortally wounded, that the goal was for the car to slow down to basically a stop, if not a stop altogether. And he shows this interview of motorcycle police officer Bobby Hargis, and in this interview, he corroborates this story, saying yes, the Presidential limousine slowed down almost to a stop. And you can see photographs of the time that show the brake lights on, which is completely fucked up. Mean, if there's a barrage of fire coming down. Why would you ever even consider hitting the brakes? Why would you not speed the hell out of there? It's harder to hit a fast moving target. Everybody knows that. That's suspicious. Also. It's Connie's contention in reviewing the Zapruder film that Kennedy's head is pushed up and to the left. So he doesn't believe that the fatal shot comes from the grassy knoll. He shows footage of one of the motorcycle cops stopping next to the storm drain, and it's Connolly's contention that that's where the fatal shot came from. Was the storm drain. He believes there were two pop poppers that crawled through the sewer to get to the storm drain. He asserts that one of them was Larry Crayford, and it's Connolly's contention, not only that Larry Crayford had previously worked for Jack Ruby, which I think has been well documented, but also that Crayford was a former Charlie India Alpha operative or agent of some kind. He says the other man was Jack Lawrence. And I intend to record an episode about this story of at least one pop popper being down in that storm drain. Jim Mars, in his book, Crossfire, tells the story of Jack Lawrence and how he showed up to work late and he was covered in mud, and he went to the men's room and threw up and just claimed that, oh, he had been ill this morning. There are some weird circumstantial pieces of evidence around that guy and like, Well, what was he doing? Why? Where was he? His car was found in a suspicious location. There are some weird things in his story that I think merit discussion. Connolly also claims that Orlando Bosch, who is allegedly part of this operation 40 situation with Frank Sturgis, was there alongside umbrella man. And there is a picture like where everybody else is running, and they're in a state of shock, and they're going toward the grassy knoll trying to figure out what the hell has just happened. There is a photograph of these two men. Now, who they really were, I don't know. According to Conley, it was Orlando Bosch and the umbrella man, just sitting there, where everybody else is in a state of panic and confusion, they're just sitting there like it's just another day. According to Conley, the men in the three tramps photo would be Rogers, Harrelson and E Howard Hunt. He also believes that in one of the photos of the three tramps, you can see like a wire, like an earpiece, and a wire in the man that he believes is Howard Hunt's ear, like he's been receiving transmissions. They've all been able to communicate with each other to coordinate this plot. In another of the photos of the three tramps, there's like a red arrow he uses to point out a man that he believes is Lansdale, and that Lansdale has been there to make sure that the three tramps are released, just like Jay Widener in his documentary jfkx, Connolly talks about tampering of the Zapruder film, that there are some frames missing and that you can tell in places like figures are blurry but their shadows are sharp. And he does a split screen where you can watch the same segment of the Zapruder film and the Orville Knicks film side by side. And again, I feel like this is a valid question. If that film was tampered with and there were frames removed from it, why? Who did it? And then, for what reason, and what are we not allowed to see Conley all? Also produces a photograph of a man outside the Texas School Book Depository that he contends is Poppy bush. This is another topic that I want to record its own episode about this question of where was Poppy that day, because Connolly is convinced that the man in this photograph is Poppy bush. I will be honest with you and say I am not convinced. That doesn't mean that he wasn't there. It just simply means that I'm not convinced the man he's pointing to in this photograph is Poppy. I mean, there is a story of poppy being at a speaking engagement and it not being really possible that he could have been physically on the scene on the sidewalk. Again, that needs to be its own separate episode. But for the purposes of reviewing Connolly's documentary, I myself, personally, am not convinced that the man he points out is Poppy he shows like a split screen of this man outside the Book Depository and poppy bush in the same type of pose, like they're standing in exactly the same way. Other than that, I myself, personally, just don't see a resemblance. Somebody else has made a video on YouTube saying that they have the same skull shape, the same profile. To me, it doesn't look like they do. I'm not sure who that man actually was. I'm just simply not convinced that that was Poppy bush. Again, not to say that Poppy couldn't possibly have had any involvement or couldn't have been happy about what happened, but I just don't think that this particular man on the sidewalk is Poppy. Connolly talks about Poppy having stayed at the Sheraton Dallas Hotel. Again, there's some debate about exactly when Poppy was there. There's a whole other thing about where he calls and fingers some other guy. I'll get into this in the episode dedicated to where was Poppy on November 22 I don't want to go too far down that rabbit hole here. Suffice it to say, in Connolly's documentary, he's convinced that, GW, No, the other one to Poppy Bush sorry. Sometimes they blend together. He's convinced that Poppy was there and that this man standing on the sidewalk is Poppy. We go now to Parkland, where it's clear to the doctors that Kennedy had been shot from the front, particularly with that entrance wound that was right around like the knot of his necktie and then the head wound. So what to do? They've got to have control of the body and control of the autopsy. Entered John leggett, we talked about him in the my review of the men who killed Kennedy Docu series, because he figures prominently in one of the episodes there. I still need to get my hands on that book, the President's mortician, because it looks super interesting. And I want to check out the story behind the story here and just see like, is this possibly true, or is this somebody's fantasy, according to Connolly, I mean, he ups the ante in this documentary. I have to say, it's not just that ligot Is this super talented. Can fix anything mortician, according to Connolly, he was also a Charlie India Alpha agent and some some shit really gets crazy here from this point, not that it hasn't already been pretty wacky, but it gets crazier. Like, just wait, there's more. So there's this story that Frank Sturgis allegedly has with somebody who is also a veteran from the Bay of Pigs invasion, and he like teases Marita Lawrence, like, oh, you miss history. You shouldn't have chickened out. And there's no guilt. There's no remorse at all, like we we killed him. It was just another day. It was just another murder. Who cares, and supposedly, Frank Sturgis tells this army buddy that, or military veteran buddy, whoever he was, that it was chi Gordon Liddy who murdered JD Tippett? So in Connolly's documentary, he says that JD Tippett was actually Jefferson Davis Tippett. If you go to the JD Tippit website, which I think may be run by friends and family, I'm not completely sure, but they are saying that, no, it did not JD did not stand for Jefferson Davis that this is some kind of conspiracy theory to try to make JD Tippett sound like he was a racist and a bigot. And it's not true. He also draws from Robert Morningstar in having this theory that JD Tippett was called JFK. Remember we heard this in the if you caught my episode where I reviewed Jay widener's documentary JFK x this should sound familiar to you, that JD Tippett allegedly had the nickname JFK because he looked so much like JFK, which I don't believe is accurate. I think. Some of the these theories just get so far reaching, and that's why I had to die like the pop poppers had botched the job with Kennedy's body so badly that somebody else who kind of sort of looked like him needed to get murdered so he his body could be used as a stand in now Robert Morningstar, that's its own separate ball of wax. I intend to talk about some of those really super duper wacky conspiracy theories at some other point in time, because I saw Robert Morningstar on a podcast, and he's talking about JFK was going to go to the American public and tell them that aliens are real, and that's the that's the real reason that he was murdered and he had been dropping acid and having all of these transcendent experiences. And I'm just like, Okay, wait a minute. Wait a minute. What I always say is that I feel like he was murdered for much more earthly and banal reasons. I don't think that it had anything to do with space alien communication and tabs of acid. I could be wrong, but I'm just saying, like, to me, the information that this part of the documentary is coming from some sources that I would consider to be pretty freaking weird. According to Conley, like JFK and tippet looked so much alike, it's just uncanny. And I'm like, no, they don't this is like the picture of the man on the sidewalk. I'm not convinced that it is just a dead ringer for Poppy, nor am I convinced of this weird supposed resemblance between Tippit and JFK. Connolly claims that Liggett is aboard Air Force Two with the bodies of Tippett and JFK, trying to do this morbid surgery and figure out which body he can use. Can he make tippet look enough like JFK that the whole thing will be passable? He brings up some of the same things that are talked about in the men who killed Kennedy Docu series. The body is placed into one coffin at Parkland, but then it's in a different coffin by the time it gets to Bethesda, which is weird. And then the Siebert and O'Neill comment that David Lifton had zeroed in on for best evidence, which is there had been surgery performed to the head. When would that have happened? See this? This type of information is relevant, I think even if it gets lost in the shuffle, which is a sad thing amidst some very other outrageous accusations, it's like, Wait a minute. We have to sift through somewhere like panning for gold. We have to sift through all the dirt and the silt to get to some actual gold nuggets that are like, Wait a minute. Who would have been performing surgery on JFK his head. When would this have happened? Why was he in a different coffin? According to Connolly, by the time of JFK funeral or his wake, Bobby looks at the body and says, That doesn't look anything like him. Jackie is also distressed and says something like this looks like something that you would find at Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum. Connolly contends that the autopsy photos are not actually JFK. It's Tippett who's been surgically altered by Liggett to look something like JFK. He reiterates the story that we hear in the men who killed Kennedy Docu series, that whenever Liget comes home, he's distressed. He makes the family get out of town, but then as soon as Ruby has murdered Oswald, he relaxes and says, okay, everything's fine now and we can go home. Connolly contends that there's debate about what actually happened to Jack Ruby, Lee Harvey, Oswald, Liget, and then even JFK himself. I mean, he he really spins a tale of body switches being super duper common. He even asserts it's possible that Kennedy is buried in Tippett's grave and that Tippit is buried in Arlington National Cemetery as like some weird satanic inversion. It's Connolly's belief that the amount of money it cost them to have this hit performed was worth it. Because of all the money that they made back in Vietnam with Kennedy being out of the way, it was worth it to spend the money and just get him moved on down the line. I feel like this is a good breaking point. I will have to, unfortunately, kick this off into another part three. I hate to do that, but this is a long documentary. At this point, he's getting into Nixon and Watergate, and I feel like, because he's wrapped up his information pretty much about the murder of JFK, it's a good stopping point, as I said, before watch this documentary for yourself and make up your own mind, my conclusion has not changed from what I told you in my review part one, I feel like there are good questions. I feel like there are nuggets of information here that are relevant, that have been proven, that have even been discussed in mainstream sources. It just gets so bogged. Allen with some of the other wackadoodle theories, and I don't like how he presents certain things as a fact, like this really happened. And I'm like, no, wait a minute, it's a story. It's someone's allegation, but it hasn't been irrefutably proven. So there are some things that I find highly problematic about this documentary, and the real shame of it is somebody might watch this and think, Well, if he's telling all these wackadoodle things that are not true. Is it not true about Americans financing the Wehrmacht? Is it not true that you had a whole host of people that stood to gain from Kennedy not being in the picture anymore? We'll continue this on in part three, stay a little bit crazy, and I will see you in the next episode.
