Solving JFK

In this episode, we analyze the two strongest arguments that Mac Wallace was involved in the murder of President Kennedy at the behest of the Vice President. We look at the alleged Mac Wallace fingerprint found on the Sixth Floor of the Texas Schoolbook Depository Building and the recently released Billie Sol Estes tape that appears to incriminate Mac Wallace and Lyndon Johnson. Patreon - Patreon.com/solvingJFKTwitter - https://twitter.com/solvingjfk Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/solvingjfk Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/solvingjfkpodcast Tik Tok...

One of the primary questions in the study of the JFK Assassination is whether Lyndon Johnson was involved as a plotter. This question has become a wedge issue among the critical research community. For those who say Johnson is behind President Kennedy’s assassination, what usually follows is evidence related to Malcolm Wallace – a mysterious man who, without a doubt knew Lyndon Johnson and worked with him on occasion. Proponents of the LBJ did it theory rely on testimony from Billie Sol Estes about Wallace being LBJ’s hitman, a fingerprint that allegedly matches Wallace’s, and a showsto...

In the last episode, we talked about the financial ascent of Bobby Baker, whose net worth increased from $10,000 to $2.1 Million net worth while he worked for Lyndon Johnson as Secretary to the Senate Majority Leader. That’s an impressive climb. But, Baker’s wealth was a drop in the bucket compared to the subject of today’s episode – Billie Sol Estes, who claims that his net worth in 1961 was a whopping $400 million dollars.In this episode, we cover the rise and fall of Billie Sol Estes, with an emphasis on Estes’ connections to Lyndon Johnson, and the mysterious...

Over the next several episodes, we’ll begin the gargantuan task of trying to thoughtfully determine whether Johnson played a role in the president’s murder. While this series is not a deep biography on Lyndon Johnson, we have to provide some context for LBJ the man, so that we can understand where he came from and the patterns of behavior he displayed. In this episode, we explore the Johnson’s life before the Senate. How did LBJ get started in politics? What was his relationship like with Brown and Root? And did Lyndon Johnson really steal a US Sen...

In this episode, we look at the specific threats against President Kennedy that the FBI was aware of, but, for whatever reason, did not pass on to the Secret Service. Were any of those threats credible? And did the FBI follow the normal protocols when dealing with them? Then, we turn our attention to the FBI’s relationship with Lee Harvey Oswald. When did Oswald come on their radar? Was Oswald an FBI informant? And what was the ultimate reason for the FBI’s failure to warn the Secret Service about Lee Harvey Oswald’s presence on the Dal...

What was the role of the FBI – if any – in President Kennedy’s death? When we talk about the FBI, the starting point has to be J. Edgar Hoover. The main questions I want to answer about Hoover are whether he had foreknowledge or involvement in a plot to kill President Kennedy, and whether he knowingly participate in a cover-up of the assassination. But, to be able to unlock the answers to those bigger questions, we must first learn more about Hoover and who he surrounded himself with. What did he care about? What were Hoover’s...

In this episode, we review Bolden’s claim that, on November 2, 1963, in addition to a potential threat from lone gunman, Thomas Arthur Vallee, there was also a failed plot against President Kennedy in Chicago by four men who had rifles. Bolden says that the Secret Service covered up the Chicago plot, and then, when he tried to come forward to the Warren Commission, he was framed for a crime, which resulted in him serving time in prison. Twitter - https://twitter.com/solvingjfk Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/solvingjfk Instagram - https://www.i...

But, this time, we’ll zoom in to the motorcade itself, as opposed to what was seen by Secret Service in the motorcade as we previously discussed in Episode 11.

And were there any last minute changes to the motorcade lineup? Twitter - https://twitter.com/solvingjfk Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/solvingjfk Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/solvingjfkpodcast Tik Tok - https://www.tik...
