There's no place to escape to. This is the last podcast. On the left. That's when the cannibalism started.

My dirty boys. Man, I miss sliders. The show? No. I missed that show, too. That was great. No. Henry and I had a bunch of great sliders in Detroit, and we missed those sliders. What I don't understand is why are there not more...

slider-based restaurants. We talked about this the whole time while we were eating those sliders. I feel like sliders are being left behind. I feel like that should be a new, like, you know, because we had, obviously, fancy hot dogs. Then we had donuts. And there was Korean tacos. Sliders had their moment. When?

Oh, and I would say like 2009 to 2015. When was the great slider revolution? You didn't have any money. Yeah, we were poor. Yeah. But sliders are for the people. Yeah, I know. When I worked at a restaurant, I had a bunch of different sliders I would sell at the poor house.

That's different. You, though, literally, you're the only man I know who was a chef that was at the very forefront of slider technology, and you were doing sliders all the time. I remember when you brought sliders to the poorhouse. All kinds of different sliders. But you're the only place where I...

Saw a lot of sliders. I had a curry chicken slider that was fucking awesome. I had apple slices on that bitch. We went to Green Dot Stables in Detroit and they had the fucking fish fry slider. It was real good. They had a fried bologna slider that was really good. That's what we need back. Yeah. It's like, why aren't the sledders everywhere?

Are you saying it's a conspiracy? I think it's a government conspiracy. It's a government conspiracy. Welcome to the last podcast on the left, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Marcus Parks. I'm here with the skeptical Henry Zebrowski, skeptical as to why. these sliders aren't all over the place at all times. Who benefits? Quibono. I tell you who benefits. The Mexican restaurants. They got the tacos. They got the tacos and they don't know tacos and sliders are ass to ass.

And they know that they are fighting for oxygen together. And they just want to shut it down. They want to shut the slider economy down. Because they know it's outside of the Fort Knox system. I think tiny tacos should be on the rise. Hate tiny tacos. Whoa. Love big tacos. So hold on. You like...

tiny burgers. Yes. But you don't like tiny tacos. Correct. This is a you problem. No it's not. No it's not. There are many like me. I am not the only one like me. That's the only thing I have learned. Do you wish that spaghetti was just one big piece? Yes. I would. As if you would not eat an entire loaf of just pasta dough. I would. You wouldn't. It's called a lasagna, ladies and gentlemen. And with me, of course, with both of us is Ed Larson. Ed, do you think the Slatter Conspiracy...

is related to the Federal Reserve. No, I think if it's related to anybody, it's Big Pharma. Okay, all right, Big Pharma. All right, that's good. I would think Big Pharma would be down with the sliders because that would increase diabetes and heart disease and such. Oh my god, there's a place called Rock House Sliders. You just have to look harder. We live in one of the biggest cities in America. You're going to be able to find sliders.

This is fucking Australia. Sliders? Yeah, Sliders. Oh, man. Sliders. What the fucking shit? This is fucking, they're ahead of us. We're moving. We're going. I'm bombing Australia. No, bomb them. There's only people doing. what you want no because they did it first and i won't no one can have them i can't today we're here Talking about conspiracies, of course, on our update show, we started a little segment, or actually it was more of a theme, of Ed Larson Ask Questions. Yes!

Yeah, no, it's basically I mean, I know a lot of this stuff where I have like my own thought on it, especially today, because we're going to center on government conspiracy. There are other episodes just like this coming out down the road about serial killers and stuff like that. Which we have already recorded. But this one is about government conspiracies. And the next one I want to do is on aliens. Sure, of course. Which can be looped into government conspiracy, but...

What? I would like to get art done where it says the education of Miss... Ed Lawrence. Yeah, yeah, no, Ed Lawrence. If I could do a thing where it's him and that thing, I think that'd be fun. Yes, I think that'd be cute. I think that is adorable. Yeah, so today we wanted to talk about government conspiracies, and I wanted to start with what...

i think is like the biggest meatiest one and of course that's jfk yeah the assassination not his uh you know his accidentally winning the presidency he didn't accidentally win it just is His older brother was supposed to be the president. He was the shining light. He was the one that everybody wanted to do something. But then he fucking died like a pussy. Oh, I didn't actually know about this. Kennedy's brother died?

John Kennedy's older brother was like the one the family thought was going to go all the way. Kind of like Jeb. Uh-huh. Like they thought that Jeb was going to be the one to take it. And then when he died, it's like JFK essentially... Because his family was extremely competitive. The father would make them all do debates at the dining room table and do all this shit. He'd raise one in favor and knock one down. And then JFK doubled down when he...

He had realized, like, when he went to war, he became, like, twice the hero his brother was to get the same amount of love that his father gave his brother naturally. And, of course, he gained the injuries that possibly caused... caused him to snap back and not be able to duck when he was shot. Wow! Because he was all metal. Also, Rock House Sliders is in Kuwait.

Oh, is it? This is a restaurant. Somehow, my first... I typed in Slider's Restaurant. This is a conspiracy. I typed in Slider's Restaurant Los Angeles. First thing that pops up is this Kuwaiti. Slider-based restaurant. Then why did you think it was Australian? Because it's Deliveroo.

Deliveroo is, like, that's more. That's an app. I know it's an Australian app, but it's more international. It's also British, European. But I thought British has something like Masher Dasher. No, they use Deliveroo. Yeah, it's something like Ass Grab. and fuck shit. Yeah, ass grass fuck shit. Yeah, that's the British delivery app. They're pillars of the English language. Alright, so JFK. We, you know, we...

As a group here, I think the three of us, we all enjoy and almost lean towards the theory that Kennedy was accidentally shot by a hungover Secret Service agent. Definitely. That's my favorite theory. It's not what I'll say happened. But it's my favorite one. I'll amend that is that he wasn't hung over. It's that everyone else in the Secret Service, all of the more experienced Secret Service agents, they were all hung over. The guy who was actually holding the gun.

was brand new and extremely inexperienced and should not have been holding the gun. He should not have been holding the AR-15 that day. That's the whole thing, is that they were hungover. He was not. He was just new and scared. And there's some pictures with him holding the AR-15 and then there's other...

pictures without him holding the air 15 yes where they said they might have old school airbrushed them out the old way they used to do photoshops which is essentially they would take the photo white where they would refuck with the actual negative they'd actually scratch it on the negative and then republish it yeah

And they also like he could have just shot it and then put it down and they're two separate photographs. Very much could have been. But to catch everybody up, if you haven't listened to our JFK series, it is. Personally, what I think happened is that JFK was killed in the world's most infamous workplace accident. Yeah. Is that there were when they got to Dallas the night before all of the Secret Service agents, the more experienced Secret Service.

And so the next day, when it was time for the motorcade, they gave the most inexperienced agent.

a top spot, prime spot, right up next to JFK. And when they came around Dealey Plaza and Lee Harvey Oswald took the shot, took the first shot, the Secret Service agent... behind him i know i'm skipping over a lot of stuff here uh but basically the secret service agent behind him uh got scared he fucked up uh pulled the trigger and shot jfk in the back of the head and it was actually the secret service agent uh who

accidentally killed JFK. JFK would have survived the assassination with just a wound had it not been for the Secret Service agent. Blew off the top of his fucking head. Two different bullets. And that's why there was so much...

That's why there was so much intrigue around his autopsy, why we didn't really ever get a full report on that. Well, the conspiracy theory then begins... at the mortuary. It begins after they're doing the medical examination. The cover-up begins immediately. Yes, because they lost the brain. Well... quote-unquote lost the brain unless they did it on purpose. Of course. You don't lose the president's brain. You'd be surprised.

We don't know where Einstein's brain is. I saw a slice of it at the Mooder Museum. No, dude, that's just, you know what that turned out to be? It's ham. Sorry, buddy. Straight up Virginia ham. It's the shitty ham, too. It's the processed ham. It's the gross shit. So one big kind of like major motif we have on last podcast on the left with his, which has.

Kind of both made people happy with us and angry with us, which is awesome. Which is, we believe that most conspiracy theories hinge on human activities in very small... juncture points in history. I view things as happening way more subtly, not as much of a grand plan. More things happen accidentally, either because of human error or just human agendas.

and to begin with. Well, one of the things that we like to say again and again is never confuse incompetence for malice. And that, I believe, is one of the central questions or one of the central things to keep in mind when it comes to the JFK assassination.

Because a lot of people had motive to kill JFK. When we did the series, you'd cover how, like, there was definitely a reason why you'd think that CIA might want to kill JFK. They had total motive to do it. Why there were, obviously, the Cubans and the mafia.

and all these people that could all come together. We joked about how JFK was the most killed man ever. There was so many people there to kill him. But the actual mystery starts. The city of Dallas didn't want him. They put out a full-page article like, don't come here. Go fuck yourself. They hated them. The wanted poster that was circulated. Yeah. Oh, yeah. And Lee Harvey Oswald, though, did in his own personal diaries, wrote several entries.

pro-JFK, because JFK was willing to speak to the Russian consulate during the whole Cuban Missile Crisis thing. So he was like, he had little moments in there. So that's why... I believe there was a series of convoluted mistakes slash actual what you'd call a cover up. But they were very human. So the first cover up happened because they were.

Secret Service was fighting with the local ballast doctor team, the medical team at the morgue, right when they were working on his body, that's saying, we're going to take the body directly to Washington, D.C. And the head of the coroner there. was like, no.

This is a homicide and it's happened here in Dallas. So this is my jurisdiction. We're going to treat it like any other homicide. And they said, no, you're fucking not. That's the president's body. We're going to do anything that we want with it, which is why they essentially stole the body.

They were fighting over it as they were getting it onto the plane. But we now believe that's why. But we think that the reason why the cover happened here is because the Secret Service were just covering their own ass to cover up the biggest workplace. accident in american history world history i would say yeah and and it was because it would have made america look so foolish

You know, it's because, you know, we're in the Cold War. You know, the Russians are looking for any reason to say, look at how incompetent America is. Look at how awful America is. Come on over to our side like they can't even keep their president alive. It would have looked absolutely fucking terrible for us.

to say like, well, yeah, we actually, sorry, we killed the president. But if you've got a guy like Lee Harvey Oswald that's connected to the Soviets, then that keeps the Cold War going. I also refuse to believe that Lee Harvey Oswald Oswald was this because everyone kind of says, oh, look, you see now like recent the new dump of all the JFK documents. But there's nothing in there. No, but there's more. The one thing that is in there is more.

corroboration that J that Ellie Harvey Oswald was pinging these various like other communist consulates. Like he tried to go to see the Russian consulate in Mexico. And then he went to Russia and he went back and forth. And there's a lot of people that put this sinister... filter on it saying you see here he might have been a double agent he was working both sides but if you then read the reports about lee harvey oswald they all say the same thing this guy's a fucking idiot

We don't. He's unreliable. And he's showing up drunkenly begging to be a communist and come into Russia. And then Russians are looking at this guy. They put him in a little hotel room to watch him when he first comes because they're like. What is this guy's fucking plan? Yeah, it seems like he works for our government. Yeah, so it's like, what is he doing? Who's he? It's because...

What do we know about intelligence services? They famously hire people that are out of pocket. They hire people that have bad reputations so that you automatically mistrust anything coming out of their mouth, no matter what it is. It's all sliding together, the truth and lies. Now, Lee Harvey Oswald was a Marine, correct? Yeah. And was he a great marksman?

It's conflicting results. Actually, it's very conflicting results again and again. Like where some people say that he was, some people say that he wasn't. It's hard to tell. And it's also the idea of like the gun that he used was not. It wasn't a solid gun. It was a cheap mail order gun. There's no way that he could have hit it. It was a hard shot. It was a very hard shot. I was just there. It's fucking very hard shot. Yeah, you brought your rifle too. And that was awesome too.

what they let you bring in there. When we threw the watermelon on the X and you were just able to just pew pew pew I was first of all surprised. Yeah. Well because it's very interesting because you look at the window where he shot Kennedy from there is a much better shot when Kennedy's

coming up the street right towards the window that he didn't take. And he took the harder shot as he turned and went down the street. Because he was not a trained assassin. Yes. And he was just a man with normal boot camp training that also was not particularly good at that. And when he got... I also, one of my big conspiracy theory beliefs is that he was not there to shoot JFK. He was there to kill the governor.

And that when he shot, he missed the governor. And why would he want to kill the governor? Because the governor was, he was, I forgot what it was. He was angry about something. This is all from his journals where he was ranting about the governor. He was ranting about all this.

shit. But he was like, he kind of did the whole like, and fuck you, fuck you, JFK, you're cool. Blah, blah, blah. Like, it's like this very strange, he pointedly was angry with the governor. But then it depends on whether or not you believe that was placed. By CIA. Yeah.

For sure. All right. So here's what I want to do. The Secret Service thing makes the most sense to me personally. That's fun. But there's no way for us to truly 100% know that's correct. We'll never know. Yes. So what I want to do is I want to talk.

about some other options okay um because i was just there i was Honestly, had a lovely afternoon. Wasn't it nice? Yes. Did you talk to any of the conspiracy theory buskers? A little bit, but I didn't want to give them money. Conspiracy theory buskers are my fucking favorite. Me and Henry did actually give a guy 20 bucks once just to hear.

what he had to say. Yeah. And it was all nonsense. Yeah. Yeah. It was all total nonsense, but it was entertaining nonsense. Oh, very much so. I was very, I was thankful. It was worth the money. Yeah. Yeah. He had a visual aid and everything. Oh, I bet. Visual aids. You got to be careful. Gotta wear eyeball condoms. So, all right. So here's the thing. I'm there. I'm walking around the grassy knoll. I see the corner of the fence and I see the X. I go behind the fence.

It's the perfect shot. Yeah. It is like the, like... Perfect fucking shot. And we all know he was a very hated man. We know that people claim that shots came from behind the fence. We have people ducked because they were fucking heard bullets whizzing by them and shit, according to their testimony. So who would the other shooters have been?

There's a long list, buddy. Very long list. Could have been the CIA, could have been the mafia. Those are the two most likely candidates. If you wanted to get deep into the conspiracy, if you're putting... And if you have to put somebody behind that fence, I would say you'd put the CIA behind the fence. Because Kennedy had recently fired Dulles. Yeah. Because he didn't like what Dulles was doing. And he hired, was it a guy's name? McCone, I think?

Was the head of the CIA that Kennedy hired? I actually have the four names, right, of the guys that might have been a part of the team. Okay, great. Hermanio Diaz-Garcia. who was a Cuban exile. There's another guy that was shady, didn't know whether or not he worked for the U.S. government or for the Cuban government. John Siltre, who was a French assassin that apparently also tried to kill President Charles de Gaulle.

I remember all this from back in the day. All these people. Also, remember, our JFK series was what? 2020. Yeah. Episode 400 or 500? Episode 400. 400. It was the, I remember going into it the February of COVID. Yeah. And then Jack... Cannon is another guy and Charles Nicoletti. These are all like shady guys that have all been sort of in and out of the JFK story that have either said that they were there planning to shoot JFK or have been blamed. And a lot of them are just shady, weird.

either assets or guys who wanted to be assets that have over time inserted themselves into the story. Do we know that they were in Dallas? There's a lot of stuff. Yes, they were essentially. There was a guy named Bill Harvey who worked with Operation Mongoose. There's a CIA dude who was another guy that said he was orchestrating it. He was the one who put the four of those guys in town. And he said that they were... Operation Mongoose was the ongoing CIA attempt to kill Fidel Castro.

So this guy was a guy who was in charge of that. He said he was putting the team in place in Dallas and inviting them all through separate means. And one of the big theories is that they were all individually there to kill JFK without knowing it. that each one was set up to kill him without the other person knowing that they were all working as a team. Fail safe. You know, it's like if one person doesn't get him, then another person will. Yeah, it's probably good planning. Yeah.

Now, if the CIA is involved, we know that George Bush works with the CIA, later became the director in the 70s, and he worked with the CIA. Is there any chance that he was involved? Herman Walker, H.W. Yeah, H.W. Oh, you mean David Copperfield? I mean, the Bush family has been involved in conspiracies for decades. Like George Prescott Bush. It goes way back to the Nazis and all that shit. Vanderbilt Bush, the other guy. Yeah.

Vandervoort. Vanderville something. He was one of those dudes that was a full-on... They built the fucking country. Yeah. So I would say, I don't think. Vannever. Vannever Bush. Vannever, yeah. Yeah, not Van der Voort. Van der Voort. I think that was a street in Brooklyn. Oh, yeah. I actually do think that was a street in Brooklyn.

But yeah, I don't think George H.W. Bush, I think he was more on the outskirts at that point. I don't think he had anything directly to do with it if there was something to be done. Well, why would you want your future CIA liaison president?

to be remotely involved in something like this. Yeah. So if you are... But it's 13 years down the road. You don't even know that he's going to be the head of the CIA. If they are thinking long-term like that, that's again... So you have to think about it one way or the other. So it's either... There is a giant conspiracy embedded in the intelligence services and the military.

So let's say if that is real, then imagine that they have been planning the fallout from this since. Because now you have to look at what are they trying to angle towards? Like mostly they didn't like that JFK told them no. They don't like the JFK. The intelligence services didn't like the JFK was going to not allow them to do unfettered warfare in Cuba and across the world, no matter what it is that they wanted to do. Right. LBJ seemed, I guess, to be more amenable to that.

But he wasn't necessarily like the guy either. Right. So he wasn't real. So he also was trying to get out of Vietnam. Yeah. LBJ very reluctantly got into Vietnam. That was the last thing LBJ wanted to do. He wanted to focus on the great society. Kennedy started Vietnam.

Well, Kennedy was the one who promised the first people. Yeah, the first troops. But there was even stuff involving Eisenhower when it came to Vietnam. But yeah, Kennedy was the one who committed the first people and LBJ escalated it and then Nixon escalated it. even more. But yeah, LBJ very did not want to get into Vietnam at all. But you're going this far. So again, let's just say they know they don't want any players to be able to not step into place the second that they could get them.

So I don't think anybody that would be able to make those calls would have done it or been involved because they would have been kept separate because that's how these. That's how they work. CIA and NSA work so that the right hand and left hand don't know what it is that they're doing or what the other one's doing. And that's also my problem with sending all four of these guys is like fail safes because with these sorts of operations, like the less people know about.

it the better like you don't want a bunch of guys like that are all involved in this massive gigantic conspiracy like that's part of the reason why like 9-11 conspiracies don't really wash outs because in order for 9-11 is an inside job in order for that to happen And it would take thousands upon thousands upon thousands of people who have all kept quiet to this day. And guess what people don't do? Keep quiet. They just don't. But they disappear. Well, they do, but...

Still. But who's doing the discipline? That's the thing. You've got to get people to do the disappearing. And if you're disappearing thousands of people, then that means that there are thousands more people. It mushrooms out into how many people, like the sort of staff that you would need.

and the sort of people of blind loyalty blind loyalty this idea you don't think do we have enough of that I think there's enough Americans that are blind loyal to do crazy shit I mean look at the military but waivers blind loyalty is also loyalty is a very funny where it's like it's like there's something about it like we all want to bank on this we think of this it's actually a very toxic concept kind of like faith where it's like you want something without evidence you want prizes without work

You want something with that. Loyalty believes, oh, these people are going to adhere to me no matter what. But you know what? Loyalty is funny. Loyalty shifts. Things go back and forth because loyalty not deserving is something. You could have a bunch of people. who at first believe in this idea about JFK being eliminated and want him out of the way. Think that the CIA is correct. Think NSA is correct. You want him to work. You want to do all this stuff. But then on some level...

Humans change. Humans like and if you have so many people in the mix, there's just not. I just cannot believe that there's not one of them that's going to want to. Spill the beans with the receipts. Well, I think when you talk about loyalty in the military, I think if you look at Vietnam to bring up Vietnam one more time, how many guys went into Vietnam fully believing in what they were doing and came out the other.

end giving Senate testimony. When you burn a village, your opinion changes. If you kill a bunch of whistleblowers, your opinion might change. If you're asked to just kill a bunch of people, then your opinion might change. And I think it's the same thing.

people do have uh an upper limit for how much they can handle and how much they can do you know and and i think that there's just too many people involved or there would have to be too many people involved for the sorts of conspiracies uh that you know a sort of like jfk like you know get four people in there you know this massive government thing like within the government too many people involved for it to stay a secret this long yeah oswald

So I'm pretty sure we all think that Harvey Oswald was involved. Oh, yeah. I think he definitely shot. He's one of the guys that shot. He's the one who he definitely took the shot. And I think he definitely hit the president. Yeah. So is he a patsy, though?

No, I think I think that Lee Harvey Oswald was working entirely on his own as an agent of chaos. What about that weird photograph? The one with him holding the Russian document and the rifle in his backyard where the shadows don't line up like what?

Was that faked? They had said that it was faked. And I could see it possibly being faked again to muddy the waters. Like, if you're going to fake it after the fact, it's really just to put more blame on him and more blame... shifted over because the government is obviously very if they do believe if they are covering up a secret service fuck up

Yeah. Having to be a lone gunman is what you want. You want it to be the lone gunman. So I could see you pushing some information that way. I just think that Lee Harvey Oswald was too much of a talentless fuck up.

To make history purposefully. Yeah. And he probably was going to spill some beans. Yeah. Oh, yeah. He was going to spill. Fuck. He already was spilling beans. Yeah. But then, of course, like Jack Ruby, that's a fascinating side story in itself. Well, that is my next question, actually. How did Jack?

we know Oswald. We know he owned a nightclub and he had ties to organized crime. But how did he know Oswald? Because they knew each other personally, right? Maybe. That is real conspiracy theory. That's real deep in. about whether or not you believe that they had any sort of run-ins with each other. It does sort of seem... You could see how a local fat fuck...

Might want to just be a part of the story. Like, again, there's more. I do think there's a lot of that that I do wish. Was he a showman like that? Yes. He was a very flashy guy. He's a local known entity. He was kind of he thought of himself, but he's like as a mob. kind of guy and a patriot yeah and a patriot

The idea that you're going to come into my town. You're going to come into my town and kill a president in my town. I killed presidents in this town. Yeah. Well, there's also some really, there's some interesting stuff. I know we're going to get to this subject later, but I definitely, I don't want to lose it.

I've learned this recently. There is some weird connections between Jack Ruby and MKUltra. Yes. Were you going to bring that up? MKUltra's next on my list, so let's go for it. Well, the weird connection between Jack Ruby and MKUltra... ultra is that you know jack ruby was supposedly gonna at one point like kind of spill the beans and say like okay here's what i had like here was my connection to it here's what i was gonna like he was gonna go testify uh

But right before he was about to testify, he was visited in prison. And I learned this through that book Operation Chaos about the Manson family and the possible CIA connections, which is fucking fantastic. It's both fantastic and frustrating all at the same time. time, but the guy... Just before Jack Ruby was about to testify, he was visited by a man named Jolion West. Oh, wow. Who was a massive part of MKUltra. He was the guy that fed all the acid to the elephants. Yes. He took all that.

Basically like pumped a bunch of acid or a bunch of acid and elephants until they shit themselves to death. But he visited Jack Ruby just before Jack Ruby was about to testify. And then all of a sudden. Jack Ruby's lost his mind. Like, Jack Ruby, he does not, like, he was not fit to testify after that, after this visit from Jolly On West, who was a central figure in MKUltra and also had connections to Charles Mann. Can I ask you a question? What do you think it was that he was going to say?

Jack Ruby? I have no fucking clue. I have no idea. That's a part of me that I want to know. There's a part of me that actually wonders if there's more. When we humans don't like an open loop. Yeah. An open loop makes people crazy. Yeah. And so what they'll do is jam a bunch of stuff in there to make it like, I think that a sinister view on this.

is a much more comforting view than something kind of dumber mixed with more human. Where what if Jack Ruby is there to say, I had heard about Lee Harvey. He was like a guy, he was kind of in and around, right? He was kind of a local scummy guy. Who knows, he could have come to his establishment a couple times. Kind of, sort of, yeah. But maybe Jack Ruby was even providing more evidence that Lee Harvey Oswald was a backwards fucking shithead that couldn't...

fucking nail a tin can from 25 feet away. Maybe there's something like that. I don't know. Maybe the idea of they all wanted to make sure that nobody talked. That nobody talked about it at all. Because if you look at what Jolion West... did to, I'm looking this up, what he did to Jack Ruby. So he goes into, so Jack Ruby had attempted to commit suicide. He's put back in this room. Did he have cancer?

Yeah. Yes. He was like freaking out inside of his jail cell. So they send in old cryptic Dr. West to go talk to Jack Ruby. He comes out saying Jack Ruby is completely unreliable. He believes that there is a massive Jewish genocide. happening he is um he's in a acute psychotic state he says all this crazy shit which we have not heard from jack ruby yeah we never heard he didn't talk about this before we didn't say this was there was no manifesto there was nothing like him talking

about what he was connected to before. So I actually think that this is definitely some kind of hack job on Jack Ruby because he might have known just, like, he might have just been another person. I mean, like, oh, Lee Harvey Oswald? that's who you think is the master assassin? Like, I could definitely see that. Or if you do want to get a little bit deeper into conspiracy theory as far as, like, covering their tracks, it is also possible that Jack Ruby was... Oh, definitely.

That they wanted to keep him from talking and having a voice. Because people are going to want to hear from him. He's the guy who killed the fucking president. Everyone's going to want to hear what he has to say. And they might have wanted to just fucking knit that in the bud and close the loop. wash their hands of the whole thing and say, hey, everybody, let's move on.

And so Jack Ruby, they're saying he had lung cancer that spread to his brain. Yes. Oh, it's very possible. And so that's why he went crazy and had delusions. So we can believe that or we can say that was made up as well. Well, I mean, that's the thing. because he has brain cancer, doesn't necessarily mean that everything that he's saying is crazy. But he did have chances to talk.

He was silenced, and he didn't get the chance. We never really heard the full story from Jack Ruby himself. And he died within a year, right? Something like that, yeah. Do you think that it's possible he knew he had cancer, and that's why he committed the assassination of Lee? Harvey Oswald? Maybe. He knew he was going to die and he's like, fuck it. He never said anything about that, though. We just didn't hear much from him. Alright.

So we CIA major contender here on the murder of JFK. Sure. If anybody did it, it would have been the CIA. They definitely wanted to. But I will say they're just not great at doing assassinations. Yeah. Obviously, they tried to kill Castro hundreds of times. And they didn't get him. Now, do you think it was possibly Allen Dulles loyalists because Kennedy fired Dulles? It's possible.

It could be. I mean, I think that there were definitely people. I mean, there were many, many people in the CIA that were very unhappy with the direction that Kennedy was taking things and with the power that Kennedy was trying to take away from them. And God, if you would have. The world would be an entirely different place. Wasn't the one person who technically put a leash on the intelligence services, Gerald Ford? I believe Gerald Ford was the first one that said like...

You need to report budgets. Yeah. You need to actually tell us what you're doing. So up until then, they were given kind of impunity to run. I think that because what because what we learned from World War Two CIA and the intelligence services and their. win with the Manhattan Project gave them sort of a blank check to kind of do whatever they kind of let them do whatever they wanted. Back when they were the OSS. Yes. And so now it's killing a president.

affects their job too so an assassination is a lot more like you can get a lot more done with psychological use of information than with an assassination. Because if you just shoot a president in the head, unfortunately, it will also cascade into a bunch of reactions that you can't control. But...

If you're looking to control reactions, you have to kind of, with the Hegelian dialectic, the idea is you create a problem. The same organization creates the problem that creates a solution so that you can kind of guide the response to both. And so... There's to me, there is like they get a lot more leverage if they let some psycho nut.

communist kill the president and then they ride that for informational psychological warfare it's a lot more effective than uh than just straight up shooting them in the head

And for me, but I think to that point, there was mountains of compromise on JFK. Oh, he was the fucking... He was like, he was fucking... Everybody was coming over everything. He was like, they said he'd get his medicine. He was fucking three chicks a day. Like he had an Epstein penis. Like JFK is a nice guy, I guess, but he had an Epstein penis where he had to be milked. Three or four times a day. Now, do you think that maybe that's all things to discredit?

Kennedy and make him look like a bad person. No. Well, because you got the same thing with MLK. All the women. No, there's horny guys. You think so? That was very true. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, because JFK was very much an adulterer, as was MLK. Yeah.

It's a horny guy. Very horny guy. They're stressed. Yeah. They're stressed, Eddie. They're stressed. Definitely shouldn't be used against them, but that's the thing is that they did use that shit against MLK. Of course. And they could have used that shit.

stuff against JFK easily they could easily use that to control them but that's the thing they did do it on an MLK they definitely already used that stuff and JFK I feel like they were holding that in its pocket at the time it was really the first time the United States of America I believe we're like,

I think our president's kind of hot and I like it. It was like, that was before, like, you remember, that's the first optics president. Well, it was the, what was it? The first televised debate. Yeah, the first televised debate. And anyone who saw it said Kennedy won. And anyone who listened said Nixon won. And then Jackie. It's like Jackie changed the idea of this idea of a...

pop culture, like a pop culture edge to the popularity of the politician. That was something that also never really kind of happened before. I know that, like, technically, I guess, like Elizabeth Roosevelt, people liked her. Did you say Elizabeth Roosevelt? What's her name? Eleanor. Eleanor was an actual politician who was invaluable to the nation. Jackie brought hats. She was beautiful. But the hats and the fashion.

are like what we were talking about with Anders Breivik and this kind of shit like that. Fashion and that stuff. actually moves way farther than your political actions, especially in the United States of America. But putting the pop culture... Not with Eleanor Roosevelt. Eleanor Roosevelt was like... Eleanor Roosevelt was a massive, massive political figure. But then Jackie... showed the power.

of that other side and what that adds to your political power. She did definitely show that. Jackie was beloved with the whole television special where she brought people into the White House. It was a big deal. She was packing that booty. Yeah, she was. She was gorgeous. Yeah, but she did make JFK far more popular by just her very presence. Whereas Eleanor Roosevelt could sometimes make FDR less popular because of her more progressive views. Yes.

And also, man. She was an actual politician. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I love my favorite. I know she's the quote machine, Eleanor Rosano. Oh, yeah. You never know, huh? A woman's like a teabag. You don't even know how strong she is until you put her in the hot water. And then she went like, I remember that favorite quote. She's like, get up! Get up! Stand up and talk to me like a...

My favorite Eleanor quote is that you can't be intimidated without your own consent. Yeah. And I think that's one of the most beautiful things I love living by. Right from your grave. All right, so. MKUltra. This is what they train assassins through mind control. They wanted to. That's what they wanted to. Ostensibly, yeah. That was one of many, many, many, many, many goals for MKUltra. So any chance that...

Sirhan Sirhan, James Earl Ray, Lee Harvey Oswald were victims of MKUltra? Sirhan Sirhan. Yeah? Quite possibly. You know, it's not victims, right? There's...

Now that there's more evidence showing that Charles Manson might have been at one of these testing areas. And then you have Ted Kaczynski. He was a part of some of this shit. It seems that it's not almost there is a. There seems to be a lot of coincidence that when you fuck with somebody's brain, right, when you drop a bunch of acid in their heads and they don't particularly understand that that is what it is that they're going to be taking and it's not our fault.

fun acid. It's not the stuff we take for fun. It's like an IV. Yeah. That shit's fucking real good, dude. Yeah, it's gotta be crazy. That I think that it has a tendency to leave behind somebody who is shattered and violent. And I think that it's not so much that MKUltra caused these things. is that if they were a part of these things, it might make somebody who wants to kill a public figure. Well, at the end of the day, MKUltra just didn't work.

No. Okay, so there's no proof that it worked. No, it did actually. All the proof is that it didn't work. That's why they tried to cover up.

Yeah, that they just destroyed the lives of thousands upon thousands of people for no good reason based off of a rumor that came from the Soviet Union that the Soviets were doing the same thing. But MKUltra...

It's the interesting thing about MKUltra as far as, you know, the sort of people that may have gained access to it is that, you know, Henry mentioned Charles Manson. And it's not necessarily that Charles Manson... was an MKUltra experiment so much as Charles Manson may have taken lessons from the MKUltra experiment that he was a part of and used those same techniques to get people to do his bidding, not necessarily to...

kill for him because i am still somewhat on the fence as far as whether or not charles manson truly did say like okay like go out and kill everyone at the tate house go out and kill everyone because the manson thing like that's still a knot that we're never

going to untie completely no as far as like what really happened with charles manson he's trying to start a race war right no that was it no no no absolutely not uh that's propaganda from vincent bugliosi he wanted something that was a nice tight story that he could sell in order to get Manson to the gas chamber. That's what he wanted. He wanted to make, to get, to tell a story, a very, like, a crazy story, to be sure, but a clean story.

where he could tell a narrative. But Manson did talk about the race war stuff with his followers, but it wasn't necessarily about starting the race war. A bunch of different theories as to exactly why, you know, you had the pig stuff and all that. One of the theories is that it really is like a criminal, you know, it's just a criminal making bad decisions over and over and over again. A couple of weeks before the Tate murders, that's when Gary...

Gary Hinman was murdered. Gary Hinman was a, um, a drug dealer, uh, that, um, what's his name? Uh, Bobby Boussole had kind of had gotten into an argument with, it got into like kind of a disagreement about. payment for, I think, speed to some bikers. Anyway, Bobby Bousselet ended up killing Gary Hinman. And a couple of weeks before that, Manson had shot a drug dealer named, I can't remember, it was like Papa Mooch or something like that. Yeah, I forgot the name of that dude.

Yeah, yeah, but like he shot it. This black guy that he assumed was a part of the Black Panthers wasn't. He was just a pimp. He was just a black guy. But Manson was deathly afraid of the Black Panthers. And he was also trying at the same time to. get Bobby Boussoulet out of prison. That's one of the theories is

Because they had written pig at Gary Hinman's house to try to blame that murder on the Black Panthers because Manson had the Black Panthers. Like he thought he had the Black Panthers on his ass, but they weren't. They didn't know who he was at all. And then. When Bobby Boussoulet was arrested, I believe like the day before the Tate murders, either the day before or a couple of days before, the theory is that Manson told Tex Watson, go get Bobby out of prison.

Go do something to get Bobby out of prison. And Tex Watson and his, you know. fucked up like drug addled brain what was the thing he ate nightshade yeah he ate the whole fruit or whatever it's like a thing that you're so you boil like apparently that was a big thing with Tex Watson was that they would regularly do hallucinogens and one was a garbage head yeah

And they did like a thing. It was something like a peyote title thing where they boiled it. They boil all the hallucinogenic tea out of it. But then he ate. the stuff at the bottom of it and they said he was never the same that he walked around in his hands and feet for a while and then he came back and he literally was just a fucking psychopath yeah and and nightshade was it was like a bad form of acid i actually found out we're uh researching yeah i found out that

The New York Dolls took it for a little while, too. There we go. Angel dust. Angel trumpets. Angel trumpets, yeah. But Tex Watson went out and they just went way, way, way too far. And it's possible that, you know, Manson the next night. God, I can't remember exactly what the narrative was on the criminal stuff. But it's basically it's.

making it like making these people complicit as well making everyone complicit uh in the murder so they don't snitch on each other. It's like kind of a jail tactic. There was a really good documentary series, I think on Peacock recently about Manson, that... Because when we did it, when we did Manson, and I really want to redo Manson because I've learned so much about it since then. Please. We got you.

But we kind of looked at it as, you know, from the perspective of like a failed musician, you know, a failed, you know, a guy who really just wanted, like the whole reason why he talked about the race war was because he went.

to convince a bunch of 18-year-old girls to move to Death Valley and ride Doom Buggies all day because that's what he wanted. You just wanted to see him hang out for the most part, but he was a career criminal. It's too hot in Death Valley. Yeah, but he loves it out there. He loves the desert. But... He may have used like these MKUltra techniques to kind of control these people, but things got...

Way out of control. Way, way, way out of control. And there's also a government conspiracy involving Charles Manson that he may have been... that he may have been pushed into it because it said that the asset that the Manson family had was Orange Sunshine, which was a government-made...

Yeah, it was that real, the real shit. Yeah, and when he was going, when he was in San Francisco before they came to Los Angeles, because, you know, the whole Manson thing, it's like a year and a half between him getting out of prison and them killing the Tates. It's like a year and a half. Okay. Fucking insane. That is wild. But yeah, he shows up on the streets of San Francisco out of prison. And he basically starts gathering followers, starts gathering girls, and he starts becoming a...

So they show up at this free clinic in San Francisco that treats venereal disease. But this free clinic is known to be, it is definitely connected with MKL. Like Jollion West was there. Oh, yes. Like they were doing, like Jollion West was like doing tests in San Francisco. So Charles Manson and Jollion West were probably, you know, there together. Kissing. Kissing.

And one of the conspiracy theories is that they use Charles Manson to effectively kill the 60s, to kill the hippie movement, to make it look... That's the whole thing about Operation Chaos. It's like, let's... make this thing eat itself from the inside and make it implode, basically. Because they don't like it when we come together. Nope.

They didn't like electric guitar. Nope. They hated electric guitar. But that's one of the and then after, you know, Charles Manson was basically given these techniques or he was maybe pushed in the right direction. That's when he went down to Los Angeles.

you know, hooked up with Brian Wilson and things just worked out the way they worked out. I mean, it's a it is definitely a long road to walk from that San Francisco clinic to, you know, them murdering, you know, five people at the Tate House or five or six. I can't remember. But.

to murdering all those people at the Tate House. But there are other really interesting things about it when it comes to the conspiracy, you know, world and Charles Manson, where, you know, Manson was on parole. He didn't he wasn't supposed to leave San Francisco. He left San Francisco. He went to Los Angeles. And his parole officer was like, eh, go ahead. Let him go. Let him go. He got arrested multiple times, every time.

Let him go. Get him out. Let him go. He must have been so annoying. That's the thing, though, man. These are the human factors we're talking about. He's a fucking pain in the ass, weirdo dude. At the time, he was there for, like, drugs. and pimping and stuff. He's so tiny, but you look at him, you're like, oh, he's harmless. Who's he going to hurt? He's crazy. Get out of here. Get the fuck out of here. But no, he was let go again. His people were arrested and let go. There is a...

You know, it does seem like there was a directive from somewhere, from someone to say this group of people. Leave him be. Let's see what he does. And that's the thing about Operation Chaos, what makes it such a fascinating book and such a frustrating book. And the author very much cops to this, is that he just kept running into these dead ends.

where he would think that he would get on the right track and then he just hit a dead end. But there's just like so many questions of like somebody on high. And he proved this with paperwork. Somebody from on high. did say, leave the Manson family alone. Leave Charles Manson alone. If you arrest him, let him go. Anytime his name came up in the system, it was like, get him out of here. So there was somebody that had a vested in the government that had a vested interest in what

We also now know for a fact that CIA definitely was plugged into the Laurel Canyon scene, was plugged into all these different areas, right? They definitely were. So then you partially kind of wonder.

Was every member of the Manson family a genuine member of the Manson family? Was anybody remembered like that's where a conspiracy theory can maybe come out? Maybe part of the reason why he's saying leave them alone is because they're dead in the center of a bunch of essentially an intelligence op that they don't understand that they're in the center. Was there anyone that didn't go to prison? Well, there was, uh, was it Sandra Good, I believe?

Also, people come in and out. There was one that turned state, the one who told the whole Helter Skelter story. I don't think, I think she may have gone free. I think there was one of them that definitely, but that's the whole thing is like the Helter Skelter story. Like there's a whole part in the book where it kind of talks about how the Helter Skelter story was created, where when she was first arrested, she wasn't talking about it at all. And then.

as time went on, the Helter Skelter story sort of became something that was, it got put at the forefront of everything when in fact it was just something, it was just another crazy thing that Charles Manson was talking about. And now the CIA... And the U.S. government doesn't need to do big ham fisted. We're going to dump acid into the water. We're going to do all these things to kind of fuck with people because now they have the.

total complete control of the flow of information. Yes. So now they can really fuck with us. And I think that that's kind of one of those things that I'm trying to explain more to people is that. They don't need an MKUltra 2 to fuck with us. We are fucking with ourselves. Look at us reacting to the, you know, however you feel, like...

The idea that we had an objective reality five years ago. We have a novel virus that is fucking with society. And no one's happy about it. No one likes it. And look at how we reacted to it. They don't need to fuck with us. They don't need to fuck with us from within. Human beings' natural paranoia and lack of media literacy alone is enough to manipulate millions of people. Oh, no. I mean, they use the stuff that's been coming up.

about Facebook, like especially like recently with the release of that whistleblowers book, you know, the stuff that comes about how closely the Trump administration worked with Facebook to micro target people, to micro target like certain demographics. The people who are now at the right hand of power, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, those are the true conspiracies. That's the true stuff that is being used by the people in power to control us.

figured it out and they're really and the thing is somebody the wrong guy read snow crash a long time ago is what we're seeing the thing is that they are so incredibly good at that. And as far as governments go, like when you look at the United States government and when you also look at the Soviet government, or not Soviet, the Russian government and the Soviets back in the day, is that what...

As far as conspiracies go, these people are... masters at manipulating humans and masters at manipulate like they understand human nature and they understand how to manipulate us to get what they want but when it comes to getting humans to actually do things and when it

comes to putting them together in these massive operations, that I don't think they're anywhere near as good at. I really don't. But they are very good at whipping us up. Because if you look again and again throughout history, when you look at... people that are able to whip up big segments of the population like they get into power, they get into control, but it always to a

fucking letter ends in absolute and utter complete chaos every single time it ends in chaos and it ends in death and it ends in massive disasters and massive destruction for the like we saw it happen again and again throughout the 20th century. It happens that they know how to whip us up. They know how to manipulate us. But when it comes to actual plans, no, they do not have that under control. I was reading a really interesting book about

Part of the reason why I think they can't directly control who we are is because we have this thing called consciousness. So consciousness, they don't really know.

The question always is, where does consciousness come from? But the real question is, what is consciousness good for? Why is it an evolutionary part of what... humans have why was it what was it a thing about it that made us superior to the other animals in order to do this and that's why consciousness because there's one side it's like we view it as a great gift

But what actually was actually a massive problem. Human consciousness was a mistake. It was. And maybe that problem is that that I, that personality, that thing that what we call the, you know, and when you do mindfulness, they talk about the observer. Right. So. When you go away into mindfulness, when you go away into a meditative state,

There is a when you're deep, deep into it, the idea is that you're trying to get to this idea that you're looking at the observer of your own mind, which is there is that that voice, the thing that talks about the thing that makes you Eddie are the things that that kind of makes us what you are. But they also.

fuck it deeply fucks up actually good decision making yeah like consciousness is actually a massive hurdle it's a huge energy suck for our bodies and it really fucks up a quote unquote what's the best way to make a best decision like if you look at how our consciousness acts

unconsciously like you know the idea that we don't your brain is making the move the half a second before your arm moves your brain knows it's making a decision these are the types of things that make human beings behavior extremely unpredictable and at that very bottom of that that very very bottom that is why the state the why the concept of a giant overarching conspiracy controlling human behavior will never shake out because humans are in

you can throw game theory. You can throw, they try to do every time and they're always like, huh, but they, we never, you can never really expect it. But you know, like look at all the people polling, all the politicians, polling all this shit. Humans just make decisions in the moment.

Yeah. All the time. Well, it's like people are predictable. A person is unpredictable. Yes. You know, as a whole people. Yeah. Yeah. And, you know, with consciousness and all that, I mean, like consciousness changes with a brain injury. Yeah. You know, like it's just like your personality. can be one thing and then like you get zapped or you fucking get hit by a car and you're a different human being for the rest of your life oh yeah man you know oh yeah buddy and so that's what

MKUltra was probably going for. Now, I wanted to go back for two seconds. I know we're getting down to the wire here, but... Now, because the 60s are the most interesting part to me. Of course. I think they're so crazy. Everyone always talks about how this is the worst time in history. It's like, the 60s are pretty fucking bad. They were crazy. They were just very, very crazy. They were nuts.

I learned a term today that I'd never heard before. It's called the cool zone, where you're living through a period of history that's very cool to read about in the future, but at the time it really sucks. Yes. Yes. And then we are at this moment like we're edging closer and closer towards the cool zone. Yeah. Yeah. No, for sure. Now, how it's Sirian Sirian James Earl Ray, you know, obviously, you know.

huge figures in changing history yeah uh are we how certain we that they worked alone we don't know yeah we don't know i mean james earl ray i would say Probably. He says he doesn't. He didn't. But, you know, how are you supposed to believe anything he says? Yeah. You know, you can't. I mean, you know, killing Martin Luther King Jr. at the time. Again, I don't think it's as a...

I just don't think it's as effective as people think it is. Yeah, and it's not like with Kennedy, there's not like a magic bullet. There's nothing, you know, there's no crazy things like that. It's pretty cut and dry. Yes, he had a target on his back and they went for it. And when you kill those, but also with the CIA nose and stuff. is a lot of times if you kill those guys, look at what happened. Their movement blows up, right? So it's the same thing. It's like they're...

There is a there's way more nefarious, more capable things than assassination. Yeah. All I know is that if RFK wouldn't have been killed, I don't know if we would be. arguing over whether or not autistic people are persons right now. Yeah. Things might have been different. Yeah. Yes. Oh, yeah. No, they changed. They definitely changed it. But again, it's coming against the, which is, it's another example of, so you're, you're big, the new government's conspiracy.

theories that the weakest members of our society are the ones fucking it up. Yeah. Which I think is really interesting. The idea that trans people and people with autism are the problem, which is literally... They are fucked.

Yeah, they're notoriously peaceful. Yeah, yeah. Well, I mean, whatever. It's more just they're fucked. Well, that's just that's the fascist playbook. And it's been like that for forever. It's like it goes all the way back, you know, to blaming Jewish people for conspiracies. that they're at the same time the most cunning, evil, you know, brilliant people in existence, and they're also...

subhuman dogs that can't get anything right or are ruining the entire planet. That's always the fascist playbook. The double thing. It's the exact same shit that we're seeing right now. I'm just glad that we can tell our employees with autism. They don't have to pay taxes. Does that mean we don't have to pay them as well? Do we have to pay taxes as well on that? Yeah, we got to pay them. Yeah. All right. Last one. I just need to...

If it's too big, we could just tell me to go fuck myself. But Marilyn Monroe, killed by the government? Eh. I don't think so. You don't think so? You think it's just a straight-up drug overdose? I think that she was killed by the government and the fact that she fucked the president of the United States of America and it did ruin her life.

I think that that's what you could mean by killed by the government. I don't think that they needed to whack her to ruin her life. And I think that being involved with the Kennedys... automatically ruined her life. I think that everything that was attached to them became poisonous. Everything changed. They used her. She was an innocent woman that was attracted to...

these people. I mean, I never agree. We shouldn't infantilize Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn Monroe was a brilliant woman. She's a genius. She was a great actress. She was able to manipulate Pretty much all of men. She was not, but she was not. I read beautiful. I think Marilyn Monroe is a, was an extremely, she's a misunderstood person. She is. And she is, she was not manipulative at all. Like she just.

Didn't know what to do with herself. She was so smart and she's intense and beautiful and emotional, but she was attracted to a type. Powerful. Powerful. And so those were types and she had access to that. And so she got access to it. And I just think, again, I just think we put a lot of stank on this idea that these people need to be assassinated when it's like, I think they don't.

They knew that she was cruising for a bruise in any way, and if she needed to... If she was going to spill the beans, she was going to be dead one way or another. I think that she... legitimately was just really saddened by the shakeout of everything and committed suicide. Any legitimacy to the theory that she was pregnant with JFK or RFK's child? I don't think so. Yeah.

Yeah, I don't think so. I think most at the end of the day, like most conspiracies are there because we don't like the reality. Like, we don't like the reality of what happened. Like, we don't like the reality that, like, this woman who supposedly had it all could still be, you know. Sad enough to kill themselves. Yeah, sad enough to, yeah, die by suicide.

Those are the realities we don't like to think about. We don't like to think that one crazy... fucker you know one asshole you know with a vendetta or one asshole who wants to be famous uh can change the course of american history and we definitely don't like to think that it can be changed even further uh by complete and total happenstance we don't like to think that there

was a group of people in a cave in Afghanistan that could bring America to its knees so incredibly easily. We don't like to think about these things because it makes the world such a scary... place it makes it scary to live in it makes it scary to live in our own heads you know like if you think that you know marilyn monroe like if you think like well if that woman can't if she can't survive this life how the fuck can i you know like if you think like

that these people in Afghanistan can bring the entire government. And honestly, they won. I mean, they did it. They achieved every single fucking goal that they had. Yeah, they destroyed American supremacy across the world. They did everything that they were supposed to do. We fell for it hook, line, and sinker. We went right into it. As soon as it happened, I was like, this was done. This could have been done by five people.

Yeah. You know, it's one of those things. Again, it doesn't. That's why, like, on one hand, yes, a conspiracy does take a lot of people. But, you know, think about it in the 9-11 conspiracy. They're all dead. So everybody that was involved in that side of it in terms of the people that I could have talked about who would have paid for it, they're all fucking dead. We've never seen Osama bin Laden's buddy. We don't know any of this type of shit. So it's like...

We had a couple of guys. We had Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. There were definitely guys that we got that we took alive. This is the next episode. 9-11 is our next conspiracy episode. Let's do it in September. That's a great idea. Yeah, buddy. Oh, it's actually perfect for when we go on break. Yep. All right. So next time, 9-11. After that, COVID. Great. Yay! Perfect.

Can we talk about it soon? You know, we're getting there. Yeah, we're about there. We're really getting there. I'm ready to talk about it. We've got our personal experiences. Oh, I'm honestly, I am getting ready to talk about it. Yeah. Hell yeah, guys. Well, thank you so much for...

talking to me about these things. It's good to really bounce the ideas off. I still think our theory about the workplace accident holds the most water. It does. I just think, to me, it's so funny because everybody thinks that the other way... I think it's so interesting.

Yeah, it's so much more interesting. Yeah, and it's the one that has actually the most evidence behind it. There's a ton of evidence behind it. I mean, I know there's some people who say that there's some contradictory evidence, but yeah, there's contradictory evidence for everything. And this is the one for me that makes...

makes the most sense. It makes more sense than Lee Harvey Oswald. Like, that's the thing. Lee Harvey Oswald acting alone makes more sense than the CIA killing him, but the Secret Service agent accidentally shooting JFK in the back of the head makes more sense than Lee Harvey Oswald. Getting both shots off. Yeah. Three shots, right? Total.

Yeah. Bitecatering.net also has a slider bar option. Oh, okay. I'm looking at this. It's in the L.A. area. I'll make you sliders. I've just been thinking about sliders. If you would have came to Easter, I had ham sliders for everybody. I was asleep.
