IN THIS EPISODE~ Rob & Doug are joined by their dear friend, esteemed researcher, historian and author Michael Swanson ("The War State", "Why The Vietnam War?"). And as can be expected, the Assassination-related discussion and document study is thus vast and varied. Among the topics covered:
Lee Oswald's connections and contacts in New Orleans in 1963, including very interesting FBI Reports regarding a man questioned by Jim Garrison about Oswald, a New Orleans bartender named Evi Rodrigues; Fascinating and enlightening National Security Council Memoranda from early-1962 regarding the RFK/Lansdale-spearheaded "OperationMONGOOSE"; the surprising "operational inquiries" made by RFK regarding the disposal of the Castro Regime, LBJ's shadowy meeting itinerary in the 48 hours immediately after the hit, and Michael will give us some insight into his "JFKLancer" presentation from this past November, which hypothesizes that it wasn't JFK's perceived inaction regarding Southeast Asia that was the main catalyst behind his murder, but rather his perceived inaction regarding Cuba that set the deadly wheels in motion.
PLUS- What American Political Figure did JFK fear most? When did the Murder Plot truly gain forward momentum? What's this about Rob & Doug starting ANOTHER podcast?
