THE SECOND OSWALD

To mark the 60th anniversary of the assassination of Lee Harvey Oswald, I suggest listening to Andrei Codrescu's new podcast, THE SECOND OSWALD. Click HERE to listen to Episode One, "The Useful Idiot." Here's the producer's ballyhoo:

A new podcast and play, THE SECOND OSWALD sheds light on a little known aspect of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963. Could the accused assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, been set up to be the patsy? The series focuses on writer Kerry Thornley who served with Lee Harvey Oswald in the US Marines and wrote a novel about him a year before he killed JFK. Thornley would later implicate himself in the conspiracy and became a major influence on Q-Anon and other fringe underground groups through his writings. This is not just another conspiracy theory. The limited podcast series and play is written by former National Public Radio (NPR) commentator and Peabody award winner Andrei Codrescu.

FYI: THE SECOND OSWALD is also the title of one of the earliest JFK assassination books, namely Richard H. Popkin's THE SECOND OSWALD (1966), which is included on my list of ESSENTIAL JFK ASSASSINATION BOOKS.

This would also be an appropriate time to watch the suppressed episodes of THE MEN WHO KILLED KENNEDY, Nigel Turner's nine-part documentary about the complex web of global events that led to the assassination. Almost twenty years ago, in April of 2004, the History Channel not only withdrew Episodes 7, 8 and 9 from circulation, but went so far as to apologize for airing them in the first place. The network did this after being threatened with legal action from the surviving family of President Lyndon B. Johnson. Thanks to YouTube, however, all three of these banned episodes are now available to be seen again. I highly recommend watching all nine parts of THE MEN WHO KILLED KENNEDY, but the following trilogy of suppressed episodes are undoubtedly compelling. 

"Episode 7: The Smoking Guns" can be seen HERE. 

"Episode 8: The Love Affair" can be seen HERE. 

"Episode 9: The Guilty Men" can be seen HERE.
