  • Greg & Len reflect on over 25 years of Black Op Radio. Greg was the very first guest on Black Op Radio in 2000!
  • Len & Greg were both friends with whistleblower Col. L. Fletcher Prouty before he passed away.
  • Len created the “50 Reasons For 50 Years” series for the 50th anniversary of JFK’s murder & to counter Gary Mack’s lies.
  • Greg was interviewed on “The Men Who Killed Kennedy” over 22 years ago. Watch here.
  • While “No Smoking Gun” has been the go to phrase of the media, Greg explains we’ve had “smoking guns” for decades.
  • The “Silence of the Media” despite there being several smoking guns has lead to the delay in justice for JFK.
  • Dr. David Mantik wrote an article “The Silence of the Historians” years ago. Read here.
  • Greg encourages Congress to initiate another investigation into JFK’s assassination & review all info learned.
  • Over the decades the National Archives has fought to have documents to remain sealed & squash the investigators.
  • CIA document #1035-960 went out to all of the station chiefs on how to handle the criticism of the Warren Report.
  • We’ve had this document for decades, if it had been recently released, would the media consider this a “smoking gun”?
  • The CIA tries to stifle thought, conversation & research into critical thinking citizens who investigate JFK’s assassination.
  • Western Cartridge Co. FBI doc. dated Dec 2/63, Subject: JFK assassination, written in response to Mr. Belmont’s memo.
  • This FBI memo is evidence of the bias investigation, wanting the ammo to be traced & put in Oswald’s hands.
  • Stalin’s top man in the secret police, Beria, “you show me the man and I will find you the crime”. Targeted lawfare.
  • In the United States, you investigate the crime & see where it goes, not the other way around.
  • Western Cartridge Co. in East Alton, Illinois manufactured 4,000,000 rounds for the USMC in 1954.
  • Order was authorized under government contract DA-23-196-ORD-27. FBI memo states this is probably CIA connected.
  • The interesting thing about this order is it’s for ammo for weapons that the does not fit any weapon issued by the USMC.
  • The FBI memo regarding the Mannlicher-Carcano cartridges was also shared with Division 5 & Division 6 of the FBI.
  • The FBI is stating the ammo is 9 years old, purchased by the CIA, under the USMC cover. How did it end up in the TSDB?
  • If this document had been released 2 weeks ago, would the media be saying that this is a “smoking gun”? View document.
  • What if we’d not had the LBJ Tapes this whole time?
  • Would these be considered a “smoking gun” by the media if just released?
  • In a recording with Hoover & LBJ, LBJ asks Hoover how Connally was hit if Oswald was shooting from behind?
  • How could Connally be shot if he was never between Jack & the TSBD building? Another “smoking gun”.
  • Hoover is basically saying Kennedy was shot from the front! Media remains silent.
  • The media was AWARE of the lies, glossing over ALL of the “smoking guns”, yet continues to make sensationalist stories.
  • Greg doesn’t have any high hopes over the release of the recent JFK files. The media has failed.
  • The reason that we don’t have all of the information should not be the government refused to release documents.
  • Len mentions if the media reviewed the working file on George Joannides, it would be like hieroglyphics to the media.
  • The media is failing! With shows like Joe Rogan & Black Op Radio, people do not believe the Warren Commission.
  • With every release of documents, nothing is released that actually proves the case that Lee Harvey Oswald shot JFK.
  • In 1978, the HSCA with more evidence was highly critical of the Warren Report & yet the media stayed quiet.
  • “Inside the ARRB” by Doug Horne is a book FULL of “smoking guns” yet continued silence.
  • Greg reflects that Len with Black Op Radio has surpassed Mae Brussell’s record of recorded shows. Mae inspired Len!

    Part Two Jim DiEugenio starts at 35:10

  • Jim’s most recent Substack article, “Jim and Oliver meet the Luna committee”. Read here.
  • Jim wrote “Destiny Betrayed”, view on Amazon.
  • Jim recently had the pleasure of travelling from L.A. to Washington, D.C. to testify with Oliver Stone in Congress.
  • The Luna committee has been organized as a “JFK Task Force” for declassification of JFK files. Learn more.
  • The first afternoon there was a meeting in Luna’s office & the office was full! Standing room only during a 90 minute talk.
  • It was the Republicans who were interested in the case, Jim feels the Democrats didn’t even stay for half of the hearing.
  • No intelligent person can examine this case and not mention the F.B.I..
  • The democrats invited John Davisson who wanted to complain about Social Security numbers being released.
  • Jeff Morley spoke first, Oliver second, Jim third and Davisson spoke last. In Jim’s speech he talked about Mosley.
  • Jim thinks there is a hidden war against Trump by the FBI. Perhaps this is why Trump released the files?
  • 65% of the public do not believe the Warren Commission’s verdict.
  • 91% of the public believes something that went seriously wrong with the country after JFK was killed.
  • 75% of the public in 1960 believed what the government said.
  • By the 1990’s, public confidence in the government was holding at only 19%.
  • The biggest single year drop in confidence was when the Warren Commission Report was released in 1964.
  • Jim told the Luna committee that the CIA & FBI should not have the last word on JFK’s assassination, they should.
  • Jim felt the questions from the Republican side were pretty good, definitely the most interesting.
  • Mr. Garcia from the democrats was the lone democrat asking pointed questions to the panel.
  • Mr. Garcia challenged Jefferson Morley, asking him if there was any evidence the CIA was involved in the assassination.
  • After Angleton testified for the Church Committee, he was asked by a reporter who killed JFK. His response was disturbing.
  • Angleton told the reporter “a mansion has many rooms, I was not privy to who shot John.”
  • Why did Angleton’s office need to make an excuse for Howard Hunt being in Dallas on November 22, 1963?
  • Mark Lane tracked down Joe Trento, a friend of Angleton’s, who acknowledged he’d seen the memo about Hunt.
  • Hunt was from Richard Helm’s office, not Angleton’s. Angleton warned Helms he wouldn’t be taking the rap by himself.
  • Oliver brought up the three secretaries on the fourth floor who didn’t hear anyone coming down the stairs at the TSBD.
  • Jeff brought up the many lies of the CIA to the Luna committee.
  • Jim brought up CE #399 – the incredulous “magic bullet” that struck JFK & Connally.
  • 42 witnesses in Dealey Plaza on November 22, 1963 saw the President’s head blasted off.
  • Len feels there was a quiet confidence from the panel, these men really understand the JFK assassination case.
  • The Luna committee were quite curious about the Gary Underhill case.
  • JFK, a liberal democrat, wrote the 1st affirmative action executive order. JFK deserves our respect.
  • JFK’s assassination is the case that won’t go away! Because the truth has never been told!
  • Jim can’t remember a more determined Congressional committee member than Anna Paulina Luna. Hats off to her!
