Episode 126: JFK - Destiny Betrayed, Part 1

In 2021, Oliver Stone released the docuseries JFK: Destiny Betrayed. In this episode, I will cover Episode 1 of this series.

➡️ Upon hearing of JFK's death, Bobby immediately suspects the C!A.

➡️ The media corroborates the Warren Commission's story before it's even released.

➡️ Allen Dulles says the American public doesn't read anyway. This is even more accurate now with the rise of what I call "Highly Literal Storytelling."

➡️ The Warren Report is volume after volume of largely irrelevant nonsense, which is done on purpose.

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 be covering episode one of Oliver Stone's mini series, JFK Destiny Betrayed. It's a four episode series that came out at the end of 2021 Unfortunately, I didn't see it at that time. It took me a little while to get there because I was not yet pulled into the rabbit hole of what exactly happened to JFK. But when I saw it later, I was like, this series is really amazing, and I would suggest that you purchase it, it is well worth your time. You can rent the episodes, I think, for a couple of dollars a piece, but there's a lot going on here. I bought it on Prime, I think it was like 999 to buy the four part series, and it was money well spent, because I knew that I would be coming back to it over and over again, which I have. It also has a special place in my heart, because in one of the episodes Oliver Stone talks about the suspicious and bizarre circumstances regarding the death of Dag Hammarskjold, and that was the first exposure that I ever had to anything regarding the death of Dag Hammarskjold, and it's really what started what would ultimately become for me a life changing, life altering situation, a life altering path, a life altering trajectory for me. After I explored Dax's death and started asking questions about, well, who was he? Must have been doing something right, because he had all the wrong enemies, much like JFK did. So many things changed, so this series is absolutely without a doubt worth your time. Before I get into the meat and potatoes of JFK Destiny Betrayed, episode one, let's do a bit of housekeeping and current events. I realize that this is probably a waste of my time and breath, but I will try anyway. On a slow week, I probably get 20 requests of people who want to come on as podcast guests. On a busy week, I might get 50. That's a lot, and I just want to really yet again factor like that meme where Bernie Sanders is like, I am yet again asking for money, I am yet again asking to please be sure that if you're pitching, you have something relevant to this audience. It is, as the name suggests, a podcast about conspiracy theories, and I have gotten some requests that were flat out off the wall. So, it might be like you recently, in an episode, talked about Peter Thiel's obsession with the Antichrist, and I thought to myself, this would be a perfect place for my client, who talks about how to finally organize your spice rack and get rid of ants in your pantry, and I'm sitting here like, what the fuck are you even talking about? Do you even listen to what you're saying, and how irrelevant that is to anything that we discuss over here, or it might be you recently talked about whether or not Sirhan Sirhan could have been a Manchurian candidate, and it got me to thinking that the president of my company, who focuses on home inspections, might be able to talk about the hidden dangers lurking inside one's house, and I'm like, the one has nothing to do with the other. This should be obvious, but in case it's not, let me spell it out for you. No, you're not coming on to talk about that, and you're not coming on to give a sales pitch about your company. I also don't want, like, a 20 paragraph essay about how great you are, or whatever else is going on. Please just get to the point. Tell me whatever it is you need to tell me, and be clear about your talking points. You want to come on and talk about what, what is the topic, and what is it that you think this listening audience will get out of it. Please be clear about that. I don't need you to kiss my ass or to try to tell me, oh, I've listened to half the episodes and they're great. Okay, whatever. What is it that you want to come on and say? What's in it for us if we bring you on here? On the other hand, being too vague is not your ally either.

I recently had a guy that was like, hey, I've got a large audience on YouTube, and I want to come on and talk about movies. Okay, in what way? Like, what movies, and what theme? Like, is there a particular movie or set of movies that you feel like reveal a conspiracy theory, or they tell us how the shadowy web of power actually works, or what's going on behind the scenes? Like, you want to come on and talk about movies, how, like, you think that me and you are friends, and we're just going to. Sit here and eat popcorn and talk about movies. It's not Mystery Science Theater, like anyway. I've got so many things to do. Simply Dag is going to launch on july 29 which is his birthday, that's coming up in a month, which doesn't even hardly seem possible. I'm getting the layout and typography ready for How to Christmas with a unicorn, which is a kids book that I'm doing, that'll come out in November. Then I'm doing the illustrations for the next Learning with Dag bilingual book that'll be out in March. Ain't nobody got time. Okay, I don't have time to read War and Peace about what it is you're going to talk about, but I also don't have time to play guessing games. So, if you want to come on the show. I might be open to it, but you have to tell me what it is that you're planning to talk about, and what the audience would get out of it. Again, I'm wasting my breath, but you know, for posterity's sake, I'm putting it out there to please be relevant. Now, current affairs on June 29 so this is impending information. Cern is going to shut down the Large Hadron Collider, and I've been hearing some pretty interesting theories about what this means for all of us little people, all of us peons and plebs. I plan to do the next episode, actually. So I was looking at the calendar, and like, okay, so this episode's going up on Wednesday, June the 24th The next episode that I publish will be on Wednesday, july 1. Holy smokes, July is rapidly upon us. So I wanted to go ahead before I record the next episode and talk about it briefly for a second here, because by the time July 1 comes around, and we'll be talking about it slightly after the fact, when we go to Google, our little AI Google Gemini tells us on june 29 2026 CERN's Large Hadron Collider, or LHC, officially begins Long Shutdown Three. The particle accelerator will be switched off for a massive four year upgrade project. The facility will be retrofitted to become the high luminosity LHC, dramatically increasing collision rates to uncover rare physics phenomena. So, even just that paragraph right there is like that's kind of a jawbreaker of information that doesn't tell us a whole hell of a lot, unless you are yourself a high-level physicist. John and Jane Q. Public are sitting here like, "What the hell does this even mean under the tab? What is happening during long shutdown? Three objective: dismantle and replace roughly 1.2 kilometers of the 27 kilometer accelerator ring with advanced new magnets and innovative equipment that sounds pretty benign impact once operational, the high luminosity LHC will generate significantly higher numbers of particle collisions per second, allowing physicists to study the Higgs boson in greater detail and potentially observe entirely new rare phenomenon, that's where it starts to get a little more freaky, deaky. What kind of new and rare phenomenon timeline? The shutdown is scheduled to last four years, with the upgraded HL LHC expected to start up in June 2030 So, a lot going on here, you know. We've heard about Agenda 2030 you vote on nothing, and you've been happy. Entirely new, rare phenomenon, Disclosure Day. If it's not already at the theaters, I guess it's coming soon. I don't know. I don't keep up with that shit anymore. I used to love going to the movies, but the pandemic really killed that for me, along with Hollywood just putting out shit.

Used to really be a big cool deal to go to the movies, and now it's like, why bother, but we have these like build-ups, this predictive programming towards you're going to soon be told that, in fact, yes, extraterrestrials have been to earth, maybe they even live amongst us, so I have to wonder, like, entirely new rare phenomena. What, what does this mean? And then what does it mean really? And does this coincide in some way with Agenda 2030 I've been reading about the last time that they shut down and then started back up again. There were some pretty intriguing things that happened, and not intriguing in a good way, things like the 2008 to 2009 great recession, and so forth. I don't want to get into that too far here, because I really want to dedicate the next episode to probing those conspiracy theories. But suffice it to say, for now, June 29 could turn out to be a significant date. june 29 will be a full moon, and it will also kick off the second Mercury retrograde of 2026 So this is a bit like Peter Thiel and the Antichrist, even if you're like, I don't believe that the full moon means anything, I don't believe that Mercury retrograde means anything, it's really not about what we think. Think it's about what the power brokers think, like, is it a coincidence that they're going off grid on what would seem to be an astrologically charged date? Probably not. CERN has a tall bronze statue in front of it of Sheba, which is supposed to reflect creation and destruction simultaneously, and how they feel that that comports with quantum physics, quantum mechanics, and yes, nature itself represents creation and destruction, especially when you live on the land. When you're involved in agriculture, you see it every year. You see the blooms of spring and all the vegetation and the vegetables and the fruits that come forth in the summer, and then in the fall it starts winding down, and in the winter the earth grows barren. That is the life cycle, certainly for me as a woman in middle age, watching my body transition to another part of life, it's kind of like the idea of the maiden, the mother, the crone. As you are going through these various life cycles, you start to understand why the ancients had these metaphors. They start to make sense to you. But I would just humbly ask, if Cern is talking about creation and destruction. What is it exactly that they're destroying, or that they want to celebrate the destruction of? I'll certainly talk about this in more detail in the next episode, but there was also a mock human sacrifice back in 2016 This made headlines because there was a fake, a quote unquote unquote fake ritual killing that was filmed in a courtyard at CERN, and then a spokesperson for the facility said that it was just a joke, and that somebody let their dark humor go too far, but please don't misunderstand a prank, a harmless prank as saying anything about the scientific nature of our research. I'm sorry, but what the fuck? Who does that? What? What kind of scientific organization, especially if you're like, we don't want the public to be scared of what we're doing. All of this is harmless, all of this is benign. Why would you set out a giant statue of Sheba? And then tell people we very specifically want this to be here to show that nature itself and quantum physics, quantum mechanics represents both creation and destruction. That's going to make people raise their eyebrows. Then, on top of that, somebody films a quote unquote fake ritual sacrifice things that make you say, "Hm, so pay attention to May or to june 29. I'm not saying the world is going to end that day. I'm not saying that Armageddon is coming. It may be that one big nothing burger happens on that particular day. There are conspiracy theories saying that anytime that one of these colliders either starts up or shuts down, it tends to bring in some pretty freaky dk events and things that wind up harming John and Jan Q public, such as the Great Recession. We're already in a fucked up K-shaped economy.

I'm not sure how much more we can take on top of that, I have definitely wondered if time itself is sped up. I was watching a video just the other night, and this guy was joking around about Harambee, and he was like, "I think when we killed Harambe, we got on a really fucked-up timeline, and I'd like for us to get off of it. There may be a kernel of truth to that, because it does feel like shit has been really fucked up for the past few years. Whenever I think about the pandemic, it's like I'll try to remember, like I'll remember something that happened, but I couldn't tell you if it was 2122 23 It's like there's a chunk of time there where my memory is pretty congealed. I'll remember that something happened, but I don't remember the finer points of precisely when it happened. I can remember details of 21 mostly because the great resignation was in full swing, and there was a lot of FOMO and YOLO burning up the housing market. We had these artificially manipulated, fucked-up bubbles, so I remember all of that going on. I was still freelancing in HR at the time, and my God, you could make money if you were mediocre. You could still make money, because there were so many people resigning, and so many companies desperate for employees. But they showed everybody, didn't they? It always happens that way. I remember writing a blog post about strikes, and how, when you really look at the evidence after a strike, it's like companies will give in to a certain point to the employees, but then they start firing, they have layoffs, they start making everything much worse for the people who get left behind, and so it's like if striking actually a. Accomplished anything that wasn't ultimately in the best interest of the company, you wouldn't be allowed to do it. Hi, hello. If voting actually accomplished anything that helped John and Jane Q public in the long run, we wouldn't be allowed to do it. So, those elements of 2021 are less hazy to me, but a lot of other things, it's almost like brain soup. I can't believe how quickly time goes by now. It's like I'm recording this on Tuesday afternoon, I will blink and it will be Saturday. I'll blink again and it'll be the middle of July. Like, I don't, I don't understand how time could possibly be going this fast. And I was attributing it all to myself. I thought, well, you know, like, you're, you're living a different life now. You're, you're an artist, you're not sitting in a cubicle, and the deadlines and the pressures that you have are different. They're still there, they're just in a different form than they were when I was sitting in an office or a cubicle with somebody standing over me, watching me all damn day. Then you're clock watching, and you're like, "Oh God, it's only 830 how the hell am I going to make it to 5pm Then, when you finally get to five, all you want to do is burn rubber to the house and get away from the office and enjoy what precious hours of time you have before you have to go to bed and then get up and do it all over again. So, I'm thinking, like, well, and I'm getting older too, you know. Old timers would always say things like, 'Don't wish your life away, time goes by so fast as you get old. I just, I thought it was that, plus we had the pandemic, and a lot of people have said, like, it's not just me that has brain soup. A lot of people do, like, I know that happened at some point in the pandemic years, but exactly when, who knows? But then I started to hear people younger than me, people who still are working traditional eight to five jobs, saying I don't feel like time goes by in a way that's normal. I don't feel like it should already be June, and I'm like, maybe there's something more to this, and I went down the rabbit hole slightly of conspiracy theories about whether or not at some point, Cern sped up time.

Now I understand that when we're talking about it in kind of scary terms, then it sounds, it sounds kooky, it sounds like something from a sci-fi or horror film, but then when we, when we register how we feel, it becomes less freaky, d, and difficult to believe, and the, and all the Mandela effects, like Ed McMahon was a spokesperson for Publishers Clearinghouse. I remember that. I also remember that Sinbad did a shitty movie about a genie, but we're told now that Ed McMahon was never a spokesperson for Publishers Clearinghouse, and we're told that Sinbad never made a crappy Genie movie, that actually we're all just confusing it with Shaquille O'Neal making a crappy Genie movie, and I'm like, I'm sorry, but I feel like we would remember the difference between Sinbad and Shaquille O'Neal. As a matter of fact, there are people online who have tracked it down and taken photographs and videos of it, but yet we're all just supposed to believe that this movie didn't happen, and then we're told that if you saw anything related to this, it just gets crazier and crazier in this wormhole, then we're told that if you saw anything related to the Sinbad Genie movie, it was an April Fool's prank. At any rate, for now, be aware that CERN is yet again doing something. We don't really know how it's going to impact all the rest of us. We don't really know what's coming. I dare say, I wonder if this is going to precede some kind of disclosure about extraterrestrials. I don't, I'm not ready at this point to go down that particular wormhole about, well, are they really aliens, are they demons, is this a reflection of Arthur C. Clarke's childhood's end coming to life? I don't know. We can talk about that in a future episode. Just for now, keep your eyes up, keep your head up, and realize that something we may be shifting on to another timeline as of june 29 I hope it's a better one, but who knows. In the meantime, for tonight, let's handle the business at hand, episode one of JFK Destiny Betrayed:

Decoding the Unicorn: A New Look at Dag Hammarskjold was awarded Best Biography at the 2026 American Book Fest International Book Awards in Los Angeles. Sara's follow-up project, Simply Dag: The Private Man in a Public and Dangerous Office, will be available anywhere Amazon books are sold on July 29th. And now back to the show.

Episode one opens with Oliver Stone at Dealey Plaza. He talks about his film's controversy from back in the early 90s and the subsequent creation of the Pop Pop Records Review Board. It we see news footage around the pop pop, it recaps the official story of Lee Harvey Oswald popping Kennedy from the Texas School Book Depository, RFK Junior, and of course this was before he got rolled into the Orange Man's administration, it predates all of this, and Maha, and all of that. So, whatever you may think about that situation, this is something different that predates all of that. So, RFK Jr. says that his father's first call after learning the news was to the Charlie India Alpha to ask if they had done it. We also hear from David Talbot. If you have not read his book, The Devil's Chessboard, I highly, highly recommend that you do so. As of this recording, if you have Kindle Unlimited, you can actually read The Devil's Chessboard for free. I think it's only like 1199 if you want to buy it, but if you have Kindle Unlimited, you can read it for free, and I, again, I would highly, highly encourage you to do so. Back in the summer of 2024 David had a stroke. I have not heard any updates about how he's doing. I know that he was on a road to recovery, or struggling to, you know, kind of get his speech back as of September in 2024 but you know, it's been quite some time ago, and I don't know how he's doing now. Hopefully, better. We certainly send love his way, but the Devil's Chessboard, excellent book. If you have not read it, please do so. So, according to David Talbot, RFK had been told by Kenny O'Donnell and Dave Powers, both of whom were veterans of World War Two, and they said that Boomstick Fire had come from the front and the back, and that because they had been around Boomsticks before, they knew what they were talking about. RFK Jr. says that he was in the room when LBJ told his father about Ruby killing Oswald, and so Junior asks, Why did he really love our family, but no one gives him a clear answer. So, Junior is standing there wondering why Ruby would do such a thing publicly and risk his own life. David Talbot says that RFK senior looks at Jack Ruby's phone records and sees an absolute litany of mobsters. Junior says that his father was not aware that the Charlie India Alpha and the Mafia had essentially become a seamless organization in 1961 The Foxtrot Bravo India discovered the Charlie India Alpha mafia plot to Pop Pop Castro. RFK senior asks for a full briefing and is told that the plots had been stopped. Now this documentary fingers Bill Harvey and Johnny Roselli as the two people still running the program regarding William Harvey. JFK Facts just recently published an article, I think it was back on June 22 and in that article on Substack, they write the content of one of the most closely held secrets in the JFK Pop Pop Records collection was almost all declassified by President Donald Trump in 2025 The secret Charlie India Alpha, Charlie India Alpha officer, try to say that fast. William King Harvey was running a generously funded whole of government effort in 1963 to capture an extremely rare and complex Soviet military cipher machine. Harvey was also involved in Operation Mongoose, and Edward Lansdale had given him the nickname America's James Bond. Johnny Rossilly, of course, was the mobster who's been mentioned numerous times as having potentially been involved in the murder of JFK, and he was reported missing on july 28 1976 by his sister. A few days later, his car was found parked by Miami International Airport with golf clubs still in the trunk. Then, on august 7, his body was found decomposing inside a 55 gallon steel drum that was floating in Dumbfoundling Bay, near Miami. His legs had been sawed off, and his body had been bent in half in order to stuff him into the container, David Talbot says that RFK Sr suspects that the Charlie India Alpha, the Mafia, and anti-Castro exiles were involved in his brother's death. He mentions Harry Ruiz Williams and says one of your guys did this, meaning.

Thing Talbot is talking about RFK Senior, saying that mentioning Harry Ruiz Williams, and saying one of your guys did this. The interesting thing about Ruiz Williams is that in 58 he started working to overthrow the Batista regime, and he had provided Che Guevara with things like trucks and weapons, and so forth, but the authorities became aware of what he was doing, and he left the country in December of 58 He goes back to Cuba after Castro gets power in January 59 but then, according to Lamar Waldron, he becomes disillusioned with Castro's regime, so there still remains this idea that there may have been wheels set in motion to pop pop Castro, and when Kennedy didn't play ball the way that these various forces wanted him to, then the plot to pop pop Castro was turned on Kennedy instead. RFK Jr. says that Senior was a broken man and felt like nothing would bring Jack back. So, publicly he wouldn't comment, but privately he'd say that he felt the Warren Commission did a shoddy job. David Talbot says that he spoke to RFK Senior's top aides, people like Dick Goodwin, Frank Makewitz, Adam Walensky, and they all said that Bobby disbelieved the Warren Commission, and he wanted to open a new inquiry when he was in the White House. So, in other words, he didn't believe the official narrative, but he wanted to wait until he had sufficient leverage to be able to do something about it. We're also told that LBJ had favored a Texas state investigation and not the Warren Commission. Eugene Rostow pitches the idea of a quote unquote independent commission, and he tells Bill Moyers, who was one of LBJ aides, that public confidence has been so shaken, and people are so skeptical because Ruby was allowed to murder Lee Harvey Oswald, and people saw it on national television, so they don't really have a lot of faith in the Dallas PD. It will need to be a blue ribbon panel that people will trust implicitly. We also learn that The Washington Post was in favor of this, and we're told that Kay Graham agreed to run an editorial endorsing the concept. In my notes, I've written based on what James De Eugenio has written about The Washington Post. This really tells us from the beginning what type of agenda was at play here. If you have not read James Diougenio's article, The Posthumous Pop Pop of John F. Kennedy, I highly urge you to do that. Maybe, if you're new to this story, you're just getting into learning more about JFK and the pop pop, please, please go read it. It's available free of charge on Kennedys and King comm. Naturally, I will drop a link to it in the write-up for this episode. I would also encourage you to read an article that Bernstein did back in the 70s about the Charlie India Alpha and the media. That article that Bernstein wrote actually used to be fairly easy to find online. It is no longer easy. I was able to find a copy of it. Some blessed soul had printed it out and saved it to PDF. I would recommend that you do the same, because it is rather alarming how many things get memory hold. If we go over to Spartacus Educational, under their tab about Katherine Graham. We read Katherine Meyer was born in New York City on june 16, 1917 She was a daughter of Agnes Ernst Meyer and Eugene Meyer, who purchased the Washington Post at a bankruptcy sale in 1933 She was educated at Vassar and the University of Chicago. After graduating in 1938 she worked as a reporter for the San Francisco News in 1940 she married Philip Graham. The couple had four children, etc. Okay, Katherine Graham joined the staff of the Washington Post, where she worked in the editorial and circulation departments. In 1946 Eugene appointed Catherine's husband as associate publisher. He eventually took over the business side of the newspaper's operations, he also played an important role in the paper's editorial policy. It has been claimed that Philip Graham had close links with the Charlie India Alpha, and it has been argued that he played an important role in Operation Mockingbird, the agency program to infiltrate domestic American media.

According to Catherine, her husband worked overtime at the Washington Post during the Bay of Pigs operation to protect the reputations of his friends who had organized the ill-fated venture. Interesting, how these connections come about, isn't it? So, Joseph Also calls LBJ and tells him, if you want a friendly editorial from the. Washington Post. I'm sure they will give it to you, and the people will feel like everything that needs to be done is being done. David Talbot says the appointment of Allen Dulles to the commission was one of the great frauds in history. I concur. Talbot says that LBJ went around telling people that Bobby Kennedy wanted Allen Dulles on the commission, which is laughable. The Charlie India Alpha wanted Dulles on the commission. Jerry Ford was appointed because he was close with J. Edgar Hoover. The Foxtrot Bravo India would do 80% of the investigation for the Warren Commission. Doubts about Oswald and the case around Oswald would be concealed. There was the story of Oswald going to Mexico City about seven weeks before Kennedy's murder, and Hoover felt that this incident was not genuine. However, there are all these threats going around that if the Warren Commission is not careful, fingers could be pointed at Khrushchev or at Castro, and it would send the US and the USSR into World War Three. The press accepts the Warren Commission with no pushback. It's like Lee Harvey Oswald did it, lone nut kook. We also see a memo learning that NBC tells the Foxtrot Bravo India that it will televise only those items which are in consonants with the Bureau reports, so in other words, NBC is saying we will only show what will comport with the Warren Commission and the official narrative. Am I surprised by that? Hell no, I'm going to spill a little bit of tea, and I have to be super careful about how I do it. Whenever you are a biographer conducting research, there may be times that you need items that are in an archive, and sometimes that could be an old television appearance or the transcript of an old television appearance, and if you need something from the government, and they're being pokey about it, or you feel like they are willfully keeping it from you. You can at least try to invoke FOIA, but when you start talking about private organizations, the rights that you have are much smaller and much fewer. Much to my consternation, that's true. There was a broadcast I needed from one particular television company, and they couldn't have been nicer to me. It was a little bit pricey to get the recording, but they did it and did it fast. It was so much faster, and the whole experience, I mean, they could not have been nicer to me. But then there was another TV station, another network that I needed some information from, and they, in my opinion, could not have been shittier. They did not care, and it was basically like, we don't give a damn that you're a hammer shoal biographer. We don't care what you're going to use this for. We flat out don't care, and if you try to make waves for us, we will squash you like a bug. So, this information from Destiny Betrayed really doesn't surprise me. I'm just saying, and then you know it's like we also have to think about people who wonder why this network would do a hit piece on somebody like Jim Garrison. I mean, they're caught red-handed saying we won't put out anything that doesn't comport with the Warren Commission. Hmm, wonder why they do a head piece on somebody like Jim Garrison. We also learned that some members of the media cooperated with the Warren Commission in order to get access to their witnesses, so in other words, it's a quid pro quo, so that they can interview people for television who were also interviewed by the Warren Commission, and in that situation, everybody wins, except for the American people, of course. This goes back in my mind to the analogy of the Ouroboros, the snake eating its own tail. We have a revolving door of rogues, Capitol Hill, Wall Street, corporate America, lather, rinse, repeat, on and on and on they go.

We also learn that Bernie Birnbaum of CBS admitted that information was leaked from the Warren Commission ahead of time, and that his production was filming months in advance of the official conclusion. Dr. Gary Aguilar points out that The New York Times, after the Warren Commission report said that all of their documents had been released, showing that there was no conspiracy from either the left or the right, that it was only Oswald by himself, but at that point the Warren Commission had not released its documents, meaning at the time that they published this report saying that all the documents had been released, and that there wasn't a conspiracy. The documents had not actually, according to Dr. Aguilar, been released yet. Barry Ernest says if you read the Warren Commission report, it tells you assuredly that it was Oswald. And then when you look at the 26 volume. Of evidence that they released, that's where the cracks in the foundation become readily apparent. Allen Dulles is also quite smug, saying that nobody reads anymore. A few dry academics and professors will read the whole thing, but John and Jane Q. Public will read very little of it. In my notes I've written, this reminds me a lot of what we went through in the pandemic, with just trust the science, trust the science, don't ask any questions, shut the up, take your stabby wabby, and just trust us. And the scary thing is, in some respects, Dulles was correct and would still be correct today. I do. I'm probably not going to have time to get to it next month, but at some point before the year is out, I do want to record my episode about highly literal storytelling and why I think people are more and more losing the ability to think critically and to pick up on nuance and subtlety and satire. I watched a video. I don't remember the name of the guy's YouTube channel. I have to go back and rewatch it again and try to find it, but he was talking about, like, the death of literature and how it's just mass-produced crap now, lowest common denominator crap, and this guy was not some stodgy college professor, either. He was a younger guy. It's very sad to me that we've kind of gotten to this point where it's like you go on Amazon and some, you know, in my opinion, not very compelling book about hockey players having sex on the ice and dragon smut and stuff that's just basically pornographic has tons of sales and like 18,000 reviews, but then anything that actually makes you stop and think, stop and reconsider the world in which you live is kind of down at the bottom of the pile, and the Warren Commission knew what it was doing, you, you bury people in so much information, ranging from what color were Oswald's socks to what kind of pubic hair did he have, to whether somebody sneezed during their deposition. You just bury them and bury them and bury them under so much crap that people get tired and they move on. I've seen institutions do this as well. I've certainly encountered it as a Hammerschule biographer. Institutions that gatekeep, that are like, you're not one of us, and we just don't fucking want you here. That's been my opinion, and my perception about the way that certain entities have treated me. It makes me think about what happened to Joe Senior, to JFK's father, where it was like you're Irish Catholic, and so fundamentally we don't want you here, and he's sort of like, well, I'm a millionaire, and I was born in America, yeah, but you're of Irish Catholic extraction, and we just don't fucking want you here, you're not one of us, it doesn't matter if you could buy this country club, we have the ability to gatekeep you, and we don't fucking want you here, reading has, in its own way, become that kind of gatekeeping, like we'll publish an absolute glut of information, and then count on people to never read it and never suss out the truth. Due to skeptics like Mark Lane, CBS decides to air a four night special with Walter Cronkite and Dan Rather to reassure everyone that the official record is still the best. In an interview with John J.

McCloy from the Warren Commission, Cronkite asks him if Oswald really got a fair trial by the Warren Commission, and instead of answering the question, he just dodges around it and starts talking about the propriety of him even being on the show, we also learn that McCloy's daughter, Ellen, was an assistant to the CBS president, Richard Sallant, and that McCloy was working as an advisor for this TV show, and so this would, ipso facto, violate the company's own code of journalistic ethics. We go now to Cuba, 1959 Castro has overthrown Batista. Castro's reforms start to make problems for American business holdings in Cuba, and we know that's just like PB success and the bananas. You don't fucking do that. No, no, no, no. American Western world business interests have to come first. Obviously, we would see this again with the secession of Katanga during the Congo crisis. Katanga essentially becomes a vault with a flag. We want the diamonds, the copper, the cobalt, the uranium, and you're not going to fuck with us. We will install a puppet dictator, and you're not going to fuck up the millions upon millions of dollars that we're getting from raping this earth. Pressure is placed on the White House, and in 1960 under Eisenhower, the Charlie India Alpha creates their Cuba project and their effort to oust Castro. That De Gaulle was in full support of Algerian self-determination. This sounds like it might be a bit of a fucking fib that Dulles is telling to JFK. So, what Dulles does not tell Kennedy is that, as far back as 1959 the Charlie India Alpha had discussed De Gaulle's overthrow. The attempt was quickly put down, and several news reports pointed a finger of blame at Allen Dulles. We returned to David Talbot, saying that JFK reassures the French ambassador that he doesn't have anything to do with it. He says that he supports De Gaulle, and then also says something that's pretty alarming, which is he tells the French ambassador that I am not in full control of my entire government and I am not in control of the agency, and I cannot speak for what's happening there, which is a stunning confession for a US President, a sitting US President, to make. We fast forward to the Warren Commission. Dulles did not have an official full-time job, and he becomes instrumental. Now, I, we say official, he doesn't have an official wink full-time job, because Talbot in the Devil's Chessboard makes a very compelling argument that Dulles was busier in retirement than he ever was when he was officially working, if you get what we're saying. So, he doesn't have an official full-time job, but, but he really does, because he then becomes instrumental in leading the Warren Commission. Even so, he does not reveal the agency's plots to Culcastro or why Kennedy fired him over the Bay of Pigs. We're told that Dulles tipped off the agency about certain questions that would be asked regarding Oswald and rehearsed with them and gave them the precise wording to help with their denials. Richard Russell, who was on the Warren Commission, really was not thrilled about serving on it, and quickly became disenchanted. There's a memo in his personal papers that reads something strange is happening. Warren and Katzenbach know all about the Foxtrot Bravo India, and apparently are planning to show Oswald as the only one considered. This to me is an untenable position. His papers also show that he wrote a dissenting opinion on the final day of the meetings. He shared his concerns with LBJ, and there's a phone call of Russell saying, "We got you a pretty good report. LBJ asks, "What difference does it make which bullet got Connolly? Russell says it doesn't make much difference, but the commission believes the same bullet that hit Kennedy also hit Connolly, and Russell says I don't believe that. And then LBJ replies, well, I don't either. Connolly also does not believe that the first shot went through like he doesn't believe that this bullet was like a bumblebee that went through, like there's shots going through him that are also going through Kennedy, and that the magic bullet is zigzagging around the car the way that a bumblebee would.

We're also told that Russell was influenced by the Zapruder film and did not believe that Oswald acted alone in 1968 Author and researcher Harold Weisberg tells Senator Russell that the National Archives had no transcript of that final meeting. Russell is upset and has his assistant confirmed what had happened. Russell became the first commissioner to criticize the Warren Report in public. He was followed by commission members John Sherman Cooper and Hale Boggs. We flash back to 1960 Kennedy is elected, and an election is held in Congo as well. Lumumba gets elected and is opposed by Belgium. So, the Belgians.. I'm going to butt in here for a second, knowing the Congo crisis as I do. You have the Belgians that are supposedly going to evacuate at the end of June 1960 and then Baudouin gets up and gives this really tone deaf, racist speech of like, hey, you're welcome, by the way, you're welcome for all the years that we colonized you, you know, like you should be more grateful about it, and then Lumumba stands up, you know, in a more militant type of position, like we have our independence now, and we want rid of you, but the Belgians are super pokey about getting out of there. They don't really want to leave, and it's my considered opinion that they left Congo in a bad situation on purpose, because they believed that the population would beg for them to come back. They would start to feel like independence is so miserable that we don't want it, and we want our colonizers to come back, but that, of course, doesn't happen. So, Eisenhower and the Charlie India Alpha favor European interests, of course, over Patrice Lumumba. Richard Mahoney says that Lumumba asks Russia for help in securing the country, which, you know, Khrushchev, a butt in again. Khrushchev had been flitting around anyway. He was a little bit like ants at a picnic, sort of like, "Hm, has the cake come out yet? It wasn't really that he wanted to help Lumumba for the sake of helping Lumumba. It was kind of like, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. If we can establish a foothold for communism. In Africa, then that means something to us, and then automatically the resources possessed by Congo would start to be resources possessed by the USSR. So it's not like this was just a simple "hey, I want to help you for the sake of helping you" situation. At this point, when we, when we start to see Lumumba and Khrushchev being friendly with one another, we're told by Mahoney that Eisenhower green lights Lumumba's pop pop. John Newman says that Eisenhower gets impatient with Allen Dulles because he is told to get rid of Lumumba, and it's not happening, so he gets very frustrated in the middle of a national security meeting and blurts out an order not to kill anybody in particular, but then blurts out that Lumumba needs to die, right? So it's kind of like, you know, will anyone rid me of this troublesome fellow? And you know what the subtext is. Mahoney says that JFK did not know about it. He gets elected in November of 1960 and heads in the opposite direction. In December of 1960 Lumumba is captured. Now, Richard Mahoney talks about DAG making a call to JFK, who's the president elect at that point, asking him to intercede to get Lumumba released from prison. When Kennedy intervenes to save Lumumba, that's a signal directly to the Charlie India Alpha and the Belgian secret police that they have to get rid of this guy immediately, and so 48 hours before Kennedy takes the oath of office, Lumumba is delivered into the hands of enemies, and he's murdered, but Kennedy doesn't know about this until a month later, and actually neither did Dag. Dag had been whenever Lumumba was imprisoned, he made the arguments for due process, and he tried to get the International Red Cross in there to examine the prisoner, and it was always like, everything's fine, everything's totally fine. And then, after Lumumba had been killed, Chomi stands there, he, he goes to a hole in the wall at the prison. I know that this is one of those things that sounds like fiction, but it's not. I've seen, I've literally seen the photographs on the newspaper articles.

So, Lumumba goes missing before anybody is aware that he's been murdered, and that he's in fact been dead for a little while. Charming goes to the jail, and he shows a fucking hole in the wall, and he's like, well, Lumumba had his own jailbreak. Like, I don't know where he is, I don't know what's going on, because he created this hole in the wall, and then just walked out of the jail, and that was all bullshit. Like, Chami, Chami knew what was going on. So, David Talbot comes back on the screen, and he says, "Who tells JFK he's finally informed by his ambassador to the UN, Adelaide Stevenson? And his face crumbles. Richard Mahoney, in meetings about Congo, Kennedy would say the one way to keep the US out of the Congo is to keep the UN in the Congo, and Kennedy backed Dag in terms of getting a government of national unity in Leopoldville. Of course, we know that in September of 1961 Dag dies in the mysterious plane crash. Richard Mahoney, the reason why Katanga seceded was because it was extremely rich and had a wide range of very valuable minerals, and the Belgian company Union Minier convinced the Belgian government to use Belgian military and paramilitary forces to encourage the province to secede from the Congo, and announced itself as an independent nation backed by British and Belgian forces. The US ambassador and close friend of President Kennedy, Edmund Gullion, sent a cable home saying, contrary to the official explanation for the tragic incident, this was a murder. Dag Hammarskjold is found not burned. Okay, so everybody else on the plane has been incinerated. There was one other survivor, Harold Julian, but he was also burned quite badly, not not enough, though, that it was fatal. He was burned badly, and he was dehydrated, but he started to show improvement when he was hospitalized. Everybody else was at the time was found dead. However, Dag was away from the crash site. He was not burned, his clothes were not even singed, and his briefcase was still intact. He was found with an ace of spades playing card tucked inside his collar. This is not the mark of an oops daisy accidental shit happens plane crash. There's just no way. And then Harold Julian dies. He gets pumped full of morphine in the hospital and dies before he can really say much of anything. He kept, he kept saying that he wanted a book. He said that he wanted to get out of Africa, and he wanted his wife, and his wife does show up. His wife gets there, but then he dies, and we're told it's like, well, you know, he was severely burned, and he was severely dehydrated. He had renal failure, and he just couldn't recover from it. So, sad story. But the end, is it though? Is it really the program references Susan Williams' book about who killed Dag Hammarskjold, and also discusses documents that indicate Allen Dulles was involved. We know from Ravi. Maya's book, The Golden Thread, that Daphne Park allegedly, according to Baron Lee, Daphne Park, the female spy, allegedly took credit for the death of Lumumba, saying it was us intimating that Mi Six had done that one. Is it possible that the Charlie India Alpha was involved in the death of Dag Hammarskjold? The project was called Operation Celeste. This documentary also references Keith Maxwell and the Cymar. The reason why I have not really gotten into all of that on this podcast, I have written a sort of a dark political satire, and I most likely will only publish in the United States, because it is extremely difficult to translate satire. It just is not every culture is receptive to things like political satire and black comedy. Some cultures really find that to be disrespectful. It's not a sara about DAG at all. It's a sara about the shadowy web of power, the dark systems, the deep state, what Peter Dale Scott calls deep politics, that would allow for the murder of a sitting US president, and then facilitate the cover-up, facilitate the botched investigations around said murder, and I really, in my opinion, believe that the Keith Maxwell Sara rabbit hole is more of a distraction, and it may not even be true. It could very much be, yeah. I just..

I really want to be so careful here, because I'm not trying to disrespect anybody in their research. It's not personal. I just think that it could be fake. There no, no original documents connected to Operation Celeste have ever been found. It could so easily be a limited hangout. It could so easily be intentional disinformation that has then been spread, unfortunately, as misinformation with no malice to anyone spreading it. It's just when you watch a documentary like Cold Case Hammerschule, and then the show really becomes not about Dag at all, and you have Mads Bruger admitting, "Well, I didn't really care about him anyway, and the whole thing turns into, "Let's talk about this sensational story of Keith Maxwell in the Cymar. It's like, but who gives a fuck? Like, well, this is supposed to be about solving Dag's murder. It's not supposed to be about going down this weird rabbit hole of a dude named Keith Maxwell, who dresses in maritime outfits, and there's only one known picture of him. If there really was this character, Keith Maxwell, that was going around spreading HIV on the African continent, that's fucking terrible. And obviously, that bastard should have been brought to justice. I have no arguments about that. What I'm saying is that for me personally, as, as an award-winning Hammerschule biographer, by the way, somebody that actually has some bona fides here, I feel that it pulls attention away from Dags life and legacy, and it also pulls attention away from the murder itself, because people get into the sensationalism of it all. It's kind of like if we bring this back to JFK, people that focus on who he was or was not sleeping with, how many women had he been with, and what kind of sex do you like to have? They're focusing on something salacious instead of being focused on his actual life and legacy. Yeah, I read a story the other night that whenever JFK and Joe Jr. were little, you know, they fought like cats and dogs, and there was one time at dinner when Joe Jr. had scraped chocolate icing off of his cake because he wanted to savor it. He wanted to eat the icing separate from the cake and really have, like, a slow journey with this icing. Jack knew that, and he, they had already been quarreling early, and earlier in that day, so he steals the icing and eats it in one big bite to spite Joe Junior. Then they get into a big fight, as brothers do, and get sent in their room for the night. Like, I'm so much more interested in that story about Jack being this impish elfin little icing thief than I am about, oh, well, here's how many people he had sex with later, and here's what he liked to do in the bedroom that doesn't really interest me, and so I think when it comes to the life and death of Dag Hammarskjold, Keith Maxwell and the Sara may not have a goddamn thing to do about it. They may not have had any involvement in it at all. It's just a distraction, it's a smoke screen. It's, hey, look over here, don't look at the Charlie India Alpha, don't look at Union Minier, don't look at MI six, don't look at any of this, don't look at any of that, look over here at this shiny toy called Keith Maxwell and the Cymar, go down this rabbit hole instead. Oh, and then, while you're over there with Keith Maxwell and the Symar, you're also not thinking about what an amazing person Dag was and still is. That's my two cents. All right, so Richard Mahoney comes back on, and he says that Kennedy understood pretty early in his administration that the agency had an agenda that was completely its own. Kennedy conveys to Prime Minister McMillan that he would not back European imperialism in the Congo, and that he allowed UN Ambassador Adelaide Stevenson to vote for a use of force resolution. To expel all foreign mercenaries from the breakaway region at the end of 1962 contain his force fired on a UN helicopter and an outpost, but I'm going to butt in again and say, before 62 shit was really bad. Not long before Dag was murdered, they had bazookas, you know, they, I mean, they were, they were over there.

There's a scene in Simply Dag where I have Bill Randalo talking about it, because he was a military veteran, and he's talking about, like, it's basically functioning like World War Two out here. They had serious weapons, they had the Fuga jets, and then they also had things like rocket launchers. I mean, it was crazy, the kind of stuff that was going on. So, Kennedy approves at the end of 62 a UN military attack, code named Operation Grand Slam. One month after combat operations, Katanga was defeated, and the Congo was one country again. Richard Mahoney, Kennedy came back to the United Nations a year after that to reiterate the fact that peacekeeping operations were working. We have a democratic government, and we still do not accept Belgium's role in the secession of this province called Katanga. Kennedy comes back to the UN again a year after that to reiterate that the peace keeping operation is working. We fast forward now to 1975 After the Watergate scandal, Senator Frank Church sets out to investigate the abuses of the agency and the bureau. In this process, many programs were divulged to the American public for the first time, such as the bureau's attempt to destabilize the Black Panthers and to harass Martin Luther King. The public was also made aware of the agency's plot to kill foreign leaders like Patrice Lumumba and Fidel Castro. When Jerry Ford was asked why he appointed such a conservative panel to the Rockefeller Committee, he, he said to protect the American people, and when he asked to protect him from what he said, from things like pop pops. It appeared that then Agency Director William Colby was trying to cooperate with the Rockefeller Committee and the Church Committee, so he is quickly replaced by, drum roll please, Poppy Bush senators Schweiker and Hart, as part of the Church Committee, set up a subcommittee to investigate the Kennedy murder. In their investigation, it is noted, with only minor, isolated exceptions, the entire body of factual material from which the Warren Commission derived its findings was supplied by the intelligence community, primarily the bureau, even when the material was provided by an agency other than the bureau, that agency usually checked with the bureau before supplying information to the commission. That's more of the Ouroboros. We also learn through their investigation that Jack Ruby had been a confidential informant for the Bureau. We also learned about classified agency documents on how they worked with the mafia to kill Castro. This began in 1960 under Director Allen Dulles. In that report, the agency admitted they had no presidential authorization for the pop pop attempts. Yet, during his nearly 10 months service on the Warren Commission, Dulles never told his colleagues about this mafia connection, Schweiker is quoted as saying, I think the Warren Commission has, in fact, collapsed like a house of cards, and I believe that the Warren Commission was set up at the time to feed pablum to the American people for reasons not yet known, and that one of the biggest cover-ups in the history of our country occurred at that time. We go now to the infamous broadcast of Goodnight America, where Dick Gregory and Robert Groden take a copy of the Zapruder film to Geraldo Rivera, who shows it on national television. Public outrage over getting to really see the Zapruder film caused the creation of the House Select Committee on pop pops. I will admit that the first time that I saw it, whether it's been edited or not, whether it's trustworthy, worthy or not, is a different topic for debate, but the first time that I saw it, really saw it, not a sanitized version, where suddenly Jackie is just climbing on the back of the limo, but you see it, I was horrified, and I just remember thinking, like that's what they did to him, everybody should be pissed, people should be out in the streets, man, this is insane. There is a conspiracy theory saying that one of the reasons why Geraldo got fooled so badly and so publicly by Al Capone's vault back in the 80s is because he did this Zapruder film debut back in the 70s and it caused a massive stink. We hear again from Dr.

David Mantik, after the House Select Committee on Pop Pop's closes up shop, they sealed many of the witness reports, and these were not made available to the public. So, after Oliver Stone releases the movie JFK, there was another round of public uproar, and hearings were held on Capitol Hill. From there, we get the JFK Records Act of 1992 Judge Tunheim, one of the sensors at this Charlie India Alpha, was at a meeting with us, and there was a document that we put up on the screen and said we are prepared to release it, and I asked him, Tell us why we shouldn't release this record, and there. Silence for about two minutes, and then finally he said, I know there's a reason, I just can't think of what it is. Towards the end of this episode, one, they get into the problems with the timing around Oswald. For example, how did he have time to do the pop, pop, set the boom stick down, go down the stairs, where no one saw him going down the stairs, even though other employees were around, and then make it into the break room, sit down calmly, and have a beverage. We learned about a woman named Vicky Adams, and how she did not see Oswald running down the stairs at the time. The Warren Commission says that he would have been running down the stairs, but witnesses never saw that happen, let alone how would he have time to go and buy a soft drink, sit down, and just be completely chill about the whole thing. An author named Barry Earnest tracked her down, this Vicky lady, to learn more about her testimony and her experiences. He goes to the National Archives looking for the original copy of her testimony to the Warren Commission, and it's missing. Later, he learns that the tape had been destroyed by the Warren Commission, but for no apparent reason. There were additional witnesses to corroborate exactly what Vicky had said happened. Happened in 1999 Ernest discovers a letter, and it's regarding an affidavit that Vicki Adams had signed, and it shows that she did not wait around for some prolonged period of time, because that was one of the supposed pushbacks to her story, was like, well, did she really go down the stairs at the time that she said that she did? Is it possible that she lingered around, so that maybe Oswald would have had time, but the affidavit says that she did not, and that other witnesses say that she did not linger around, and the main reason for getting into this minutia about the staircase is because Oswald could not have been on the sixth floor committing the murder when we're told that he did. We then fast forward to the orange man saying that he was going to declassify the JFK records, and then recanting, we see a headline on the screen that reads, "Trump keeps some of the JFK files secret for the agency and the bureau, we have to remember that this is published at the end of 2021 A number of records have finally been declassified since then. It's worth noting, at the end of episode one, we see a news clip from ABC News talking about how the files are still not going to be released completely, because they might put some of the lives of our spies in danger, which begs the question, considering that this material is from the 1960s who could they possibly still be talking about now? As I just mentioned, some of those files have been declassified since then, but do we yet have some document that's like the proverbial Sherlock Holmes. This is it. Everything's clear. It all comes into focus now. Have we had one of those moments? Not thus far. I will continue my walk through this series, Destiny Betrayed, in some forthcoming episodes. I believe next month will be a five episode month, so there's time to hopefully get into episode two. Have some other episodes that I want to record, as I brought up at the beginning. I want to talk about CERN.

I also recently finished Code Name Pale Horse about the infiltration of American neo-Nazis. I'd like to do an episode about that on the 29th I'll be talking about Dag, since it'll be his birthday and the release of Simply Dag, so a busy month coming up. If you have the opportunity, please go and check out Destiny Betrayed. It is absolutely and positively worth your time. In the meanwhile, stay a little bit crazy, and I will see you in the next episode.
