Paul Fitzgerald and Elizabeth Gould: The Mystical, JFK, and Empire
Paul Fitzgerald and Elizabeth Gould are husband-and-wife journalists and authors whose books include INVISIBLE HISTORY: Afghanistan’s Untold Story; CROSSING ZERO: The AfPak War at the Turning Point of American Empire; and their book series, THE VALEDICTION.
Dreams led them to Paul’s Fitzgerald family history in Ireland and its connection to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The mystical has become very real to Paul and Liz. Find their work at Valediction.net. See TrineDay’s June 25, 2025, FREE Zoom Roundtable, featuring Paul and Liz’s work, at Valediction.net/eventlist.
We discussed:
How did Paul and Liz discover the mystical?
What was mystical about John F. Kennedy’s assassination?
How does the mystical affect us today (or how is it used to affect us)?
And what is “shifting from Dualistic to Quantum Thinking” and how can that help us?
Part of the mystery of the mystical is that you are engaging with it without realizing it. Things happen and things move in ways that you can’t explain. Many people know “synchronicities.”
Quantum thinking is when you have to go into the unknown, you don’t know what the next step should be, and you receive some kind of a signal that comes from a source whose nature you may not understand, like the dream had by Paul and Liz’s daughter, which led them to study Paul’s Fitzgerald family history in Ireland, which led to the significance of the date November 22 in 1307 and 1583, to the Knights Templars, the Masons, the creation of Dealey Plaza in Dallas as an outdoor Masonic temple, and the ritual sacrifice of President John F. Kennedy.
Paul and Liz went to Afghanistan after the Soviet Union invaded in 1979. The news organizations who commissioned them did not want the truths with which they returned (that the Soviets wanted to get out of Afghanistan). Rather, the networks told the world that the Soviets were determined to stay. Paul and Liz realized that facts didn’t matter to those news organizations, which were creating narratives for agendas that had nothing to do with the truth.
Paul: “There was a joke. The networks write the story before they go out into the field and [then] they send the reporters out to get the pictures. And I thought that was an exaggeration. And it WASN’T an exaggeration. We were told by CBS News, ‘This is what we want: Soviet tanks in the streets. We want jet fighters. If you can sneak onto an air base and get pictures of jet fighters, do that. We want pictures of Soviet soldiers bayonetting Muslim women. That’s what we want.’”
So, Paul and Liz chose to start writing screenplays as a way to explore and expose what they call “the narrative creation process.” And mystical things started happening that led them to the deep history behind the JFK assassination, which can be seen as the crowning achievement (pun intended) of the British Empire recapturing the United States of America. See the history of Cecil Rhodes, the Rhodes Scholarships, the Milner Group – all the infiltration and capture of powerful people and institutions in the US, to motivate and reward steering American foreign policy to serve the conquer-and-control model of empire and exploitation.
The dominate-and-control imperial purpose not only captured the narrative creation process of official reality in the physical plane. Paul and Liz see its attempt to capture the dream realm, which can be just as shared or communal as physical reality.
