David and Brad welcome JFK researcher John Young for a masterclass in government gaslighting that would make today's "fact-checkers" blush. After 36 years of research, Young reveals the holes in the Warren Commission's "lone gunman" fairy tale. From mysterious Secret Service agents who weren't actually Secret Service to witnesses conveniently dying in "accidents," this episode exposes how the deep state perfected the art of covering up inconvenient truths decades before social media made it trendy.
Highlights include the tragic story of Ralph Leon Yates—a working man who picked up an Oswald lookalike days before the assassination, told his coworkers about the encounter, then got rewarded with a lifetime in a mental institution courtesy of the FBI. Because nothing says "move along, nothing to see here" like destroying a whistleblower's entire family. Young also breaks down the impossible timeline that has Oswald simultaneously eating lunch and allegedly firing precision shots, plus the curious case of multiple Oswalds running around Dallas like some twisted CIA field exercise.
Fair warning: This episode contains more red pills than a pharmacy and enough government incompetence to make you question everything your civics teacher told you. Not recommended for those who still believe Lee Harvey Oswald was just a disgruntled communist with incredible timing and zero help.
A huge thank you to special guest John Young, who has his own podcast and book on the JFK Assassination.
