On November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy and his wife, Abigail, were found shot to death in their Dallas apartment on the morning of November 25th, 1963. The official cause of death was identified as gunshot wounds to the head and torso. The investigation into the shooting by the Joint Improvisation Division, the Warren Commission, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff determined that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, but the overwhelming evidence points to the President being a part of the cover-up. On this episode of Conspiracy Theories, Tyler Nixon, a distant relative of President Richard Nixon, joins me in the Stone Zone.
00:04:04.840Well, first of all, Geraldo obviously has done amazing work in terms of the research into the assassination.
00:04:14.620So he does deserve credit, even if he can't remember it.
00:04:17.440He was the first to televise the Zapruder film via Robert Grodin on his show in 1975.
00:04:25.420But Madeline Brown is extremely credible.
00:04:28.600She is and she absolutely has documentation or had documentation.
00:04:33.220She's obviously passed away of payments from Lyndon Johnson through his attorneys, you know, maintenance payments in a sense for for the son.
00:04:42.600She bore him and she absolutely had no motive and no real purpose behind coming out with a story.
00:04:53.460Or let's just say if she was if she was a fraud for making up such a story, she was able to back it up.
00:04:59.680She knew Lyndon Johnson very, very personally.
00:05:02.140And she professed her love for him even after the fact of his being, you know, the prime mover behind the assassination of the president.
00:05:09.920And so she, again, is highly credible, has has a great amount of detail.
00:05:15.740And there's no one. And frankly, no one's come out to refute anything she said or disavow or somehow debunk her involvement in relationship with Johnson for many years.
00:05:26.940What's amazing, of course, is the Warren Commission doesn't bother to interview her.
00:05:30.900Nobody bothers to interview her. And the mainstream media ignores her highly credible account.
00:05:36.000And again, I say, look at the photo of her son, Stephen Brown, and you can see he looks exactly like his daddy, Lyndon Baines Johnson.
00:05:45.200Overall, Tyler, what did you think of yesterday's hearing?
00:05:48.240Well, you know, I was I was disappointed, to be honest.
00:05:52.820First of all, the other than your mention of Oliver being an LBJ, LBJ was complicit after the fact rather than, you know, the central figure in a pinwheel conspiracy.
00:06:06.780The other two witnesses, I mean, the CIA did it to the exclusion of Johnson primarily in that in that camp.
00:06:17.240And Morley even made a comment which would indicate that he thinks Johnson was totally blameless.
00:06:23.400But beyond that, I felt I felt Stone was the most earnest of the witnesses and certainly, I think, the most honest as well.
00:06:31.820When asked whether he saw parallels between the assassination of President Kennedy and the attempt on President Trump, he answered yes, even though the other I think the other two witnesses said they didn't.
00:06:44.160And and but, you know, here's the thing. I don't think they were well prepared.
00:06:47.800I think these were sort of complacent.
00:06:50.880I think they they are very knowledgeable and I give them immense credit, Jim DiEugenio, as well as Morley and, of course, Oliver Stone, for what they've done to advance the case and advance the truth.
00:07:02.380But I feel like they needed to grasp the fact that this was this hearing was about the disclosure and the resistance to disclosure and the obstacles to disclosure.
00:07:13.720And what more could be done to bring out these records and to bring the truth to the public?
00:07:19.360And I think they let this hearing devolve into a novice Q&A about specific, you know, specific minutiae in the case, like CE399, the magic bullet or, you know, just all sorts of narrow questions that were evidentiary questions that I think, you know, they should have kept bringing the focus back.
00:07:40.200And I think the best comment or the best suggestion at the end, which really should have been, frankly, the path, the first panel to testify, assuming there's going to be more came from Jim DiEugenio.
00:07:52.300He said that that the committee needs to bring all the ARRB staffers or anyone from that organization who is willing to testify still alive, such as Douglas Horn, who was obviously a guest of your show a few weeks back and was is just absolutely a compendium of knowledge,
00:08:13.640not only of of the actual evidence, the substantive evidence, but of the fact of the cover up, the attempts to cover up and withhold information because the ARRB went through all sorts of hoops in trying to extract.
00:08:27.820They never really did get full this, you know, their their I believe their commission, as you would have expired before they were able to complete getting the documents they wanted,
00:08:38.600as our friend Larry Schnapp pointed out in your show recently.
00:08:42.860So, you know, I think the hearing was and sort of descended into almost a bit of a it was too casual, I think.
00:08:51.080And the problem and this is the problem that when you have six decades pass with an event like that,
00:08:56.760there's no one left in the government in Congress or anywhere who's an actual subject matter expert enough to ask incisive and, you know,
00:09:07.000relevant questions on the topic of the hearing, not just on, again, like novice, oh, you know, tell us about Lee Harvey Oswald.
00:09:15.380Is this not it? I mean, this is the minutiae. That's not what the hearing was supposed to be about.
00:09:20.180So I think it was a missed opportunity. But I sincerely hope that they, you know, this is intended to be just a start.
00:09:26.220For our listeners, the AARB is the Assassinations Record Review Board, which was set up by the government in the 90s.
00:09:34.680They did some very excellent work, but they were also stonewalled by a number of agencies of government.
00:09:40.760In the late 70s, the House Select Committee on Assassinations was formed to examine and reexamine the assassination of John Kennedy, Dr. King, and Robert Kennedy.
00:09:58.460Interestingly enough, because most of the staffers of that committee were experts in organized crime, that was their focus.
00:10:07.400And they conducted an exhaustive investigation.
00:10:11.200But, Tyler, they were completely stonewalled by the CIA, who would provide no records and provide no one to testify on any question.
00:10:23.940I mean, the assigned sort of CIA liaison for the committee who led them, you know, by their noses was George Joannidis,
00:10:33.180who was involved in Operation 40 and was neck deep in the milieu of the JFK assassination.
00:10:41.360And all of whose records are among those not included in these disclosures.
00:10:46.780There is a large archive of these documents.
00:10:49.500But they are among the documents that are missing.
00:10:52.880The point, of course, is that the committee reached a formal conclusion in their final report that organized crime played a significant role in the murder of Kennedy.
00:11:03.680Yet none of the documents released by the National Archives in the recent disclosures addressed the role of organized crime at all.
00:11:14.260Missing, for example, are at a minimum transcripts, if not the actual audios, of Carlos Marcello, the gangster who ran the mob in both Texas and Louisiana,
00:11:27.800who was recorded in his jail cell, surreptitiously by the government, taking credit for Kennedy's assassination.
00:11:59.040Sam Giancana and the mob chieftains, including Carlos Marcello and Santo Tropicante,
00:12:06.200promised $1 million, that's 1959, to John Kennedy's presidential campaign,
00:12:11.820and to twist arms for JFK and Illinois and Texas and even earlier that during the West Virginia primary in return for a commitment that the deportation proceedings that the Eisenhower administration had undertaken to deport Marcello and Tropicante would be dropped.
00:12:35.780Robert Kennedy became attorney general.
00:12:39.080Joseph P. Kennedy, his father, Ambassador Kennedy, was felled by a debilitating stroke.
00:12:45.200Robert Kennedy went after Marcello and Tropicante going so far as to literally kidnap Marcello when he showed up for his immigration hearing check-in once a week and dropping him in Guatemala wearing nothing but Gucci shoes and a Brioni suit.
00:13:10.420They were double-crossed by the Kennedys, and there is no question in my mind that they are one of the factors here.
00:13:17.960Johnson, of course, was on the pad for Carlos Marcello through a man named Jack Halfer.
00:13:23.680He was taking payments to conceal the mob's illegal gambling dens in San Antonio, Houston, and Dallas.
00:13:30.760Three days after Johnson was elected, Jack Halfer got a presidential pardon on some other minor crime in which he had been convicted.

00:14:00.140You're listening to The Stone Zone here on the Red Apple Audio Networks, and you'll learn things you never heard about the murder of President John F. Kennedy.
00:14:09.120We're talking to Tyler Nixon, attorney at law, one of the most respected members of the JFK researcher community.
00:14:17.020Whatever you do, don't touch that dial because we'll be back with more.
00:14:21.420We're talking to Tyler Nixon, attorney at law and one of the country's leading JFK assassination experts.
00:14:28.560There are a number of anomalies that day in Dallas.
00:14:31.700Normally, according to the manual of the Secret Service, there were to be six motorcycle officers, three abreast on either side of the presidential limousine.
00:14:43.620It was that way in Chicago and in Miami where Kennedy visited before going to Dallas.
00:14:49.940In this case, there was one lone officer on a motorcycle riding directly behind the presidential limousine.
00:14:55.680Normally, between the presidential limousine and the vice presidential limousine, there would be only one car.
00:15:02.780That would be full of Secret Service agents, most of them with long rifles, looking for in the windows of the taller buildings.
00:15:12.380It was unusual for the presidential motorcade to go through Dealey Plaza anyway.
00:15:16.660JFK was going from two sites outside the city, from the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport to the Merchandise Mart, neither one of which is in the city limits of Dallas.
00:15:26.980It was John Connolly, the governor of Texas, who insisted on the motorcade going through Dealey Plaza where the car was required to come to a full stop.
00:15:37.500Another violation of the Secret Service regulations regarding the transportation of the president.
00:15:42.860Tyler, as you know, one of the most curious things is shown in a series of still photographs by a photographer named Alt-Gen.
00:15:54.220And in this series of still photographs, you see Lyndon Johnson in the vice presidential limousine, which was a Cadillac.
00:16:07.680There is Kennedy driving in the Lincoln Continental, followed by a car full of Secret Service agents, followed by a car of the press, and then followed by the automobile Johnson is riding in.
00:16:22.900And if you look at the stills, you see in the first one, Lyndon Johnson, Senator Ralph Yarbrough, and Lady Bird Johnson.
00:16:30.560Both Lady Bird and Senator Yarbrough smiling.
00:16:44.240Now, Senator Ralph Yarbrough writes in his memoirs that prior to the first shot being fired, prior to the first shot being heard, Lyndon Johnson hits the deck,
00:16:54.780and he is on the floor of his limousine talking into a small radio.
00:17:02.300Well, I just want to touch on one thing real quick, which you mentioned the mafia involvement or potential involvement or being used.
00:17:12.340And I think it's interesting that with Joe Anitas leading the House Select Committee on Assassinations down the garden path,
00:17:18.620I think honestly that the mafia was set up as a sort of stalking horse just for the very purpose of being blamed or being used as a sort of a patsy as an organization to once again throw the trail off the CIA.
00:17:37.240But, you know, because there definitely were involvement.
00:17:40.220Marcello had connections to Lee Harvey Oswald, actually, believe it or not.
00:17:43.920And, you know, I think that there were players.
00:17:47.240Apparently, John Roselli, according to CIA pilot Tosh Plumlee, was being flown in to supposedly stop the plot.
00:17:54.480But, you know, it was too late and couldn't do it in Dallas.
00:17:57.240So, you know, I think they involved these guys, but they had no operational control, and it was for the purpose of doing exactly what they did,
00:18:04.780which is to create this fake conclusion that the mafia was behind it, not the CIA.
00:18:11.560As to the Secret Service, and yes, I mean, there's no question that the Secret Service was complicit,
00:18:19.520and Lyndon Johnson was, you know, ducking down and even made up a big story about Rufus Youngblood leaping over the seat and throwing himself on Johnson.
00:18:30.580And Rufus Youngblood basically told everyone that that's a bunch of BS, and he actually, you know, sort of disavowed it privately.
00:18:38.580He didn't want to contradict Johnson because he was probably Johnson's main man, and Johnson sealed that day by giving him those accolades and elevating him within the Secret Service.
00:18:50.280But interestingly, on that subject, the shift leader in the Queen Mary behind President Kennedy's limousine, which was left like a sitting duck in Dealey Plaza,
00:19:02.040Emory Roberts, as soon as the shooting began, ordered the agents on the Queen Mary behind the President's limousine to freeze and not to move.
00:19:11.780And thus, you know, nothing was done to try to protect the President, while Bill Greer, the driver, brought the limousine practically to a halt.
00:19:20.620So Emory Roberts went on to become the appointment secretary to Lyndon Johnson in the White House, an unusual role for a Secret Service agent, let's just say.
00:19:28.660All right, we have to wrap it right there.
00:19:31.420I want to thank our guest, Tyler Nixon.
