Episode 126 - The End of Innocence - Final Conclusions on the Backyard Photos

Few photographs have been as scrutinized or as controversial as the image of Lee Harvey Oswald standing in his backyard, holding a rifle and Marxist newspapers.

Episode 123 - What JFK’s Assassination Teaches Us About the Death of Charlie Kirk

The assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963 shattered more than a life—it splintered the soul of a nation. Nearly sixty-two years later, the sudden death of Charlie Kirk echoes that rupture. Though not a head of state, Kirk’s influence as a Christian evangelist, youth advocate, and cultural connector gave his loss a resonance far beyond the individual. His passing feels like a wound to the collective conscience—a rupture in the fabric of truth that threatens to widen the fault lines a...

Episode 122 - The End of Innocence - Did Lee Harvey Oswald kill J.D. Tippit - Part Eight

On November 22, 1963, two men died in Dallas. One was the President of the United States. The other was a police officer named J.D. Tippit.

Episode 119 - The End of Innocence - Did Lee Harvey Oswald kill J.D. Tippit - Part Five

The murder of Dallas police officer J.D. Tippit is often cited as proof of Lee Harvey Oswald’s guilt in the JFK assassination. But a closer look at the timeline raises serious doubts. The timeline is not a trivial detail—it’s central to Oswald’s guilt or innocence. If Tippit was shot at 1:06, Oswald couldn’t have done it. To believe he did, you must dismiss multiple eyewitnesses and rely on a timeline that’s not plausible.
