Matt Douthit reviews Fred Litwin’s book, I Was a Teenage JFK Conspiracy Freak, chapter-by-chapter with respect to the facts of the case as they stand today.

Matt Douthit reviews the 2019 self-produced documentary Truth Is the Only Client, streaming now on Amazon Prime, and finds it has essentially tried to take the modern and improved Oswald-did-it narrative from Vincent Bugliosi and Gerald Posner and then declare the Warren Commission way back in 1964 got it right after all.

Randy Robertson examines Josiah Thompson’s new book chapter-by-chapter with an emphasis on the acoustic and medical evidence and finds that, despite its flaws, Last Second in Dallas presents new incontrovertible evidence of conspiracy.

James Moore picks up where Steven Gillon left off and Jim DiEugenio puts him through the same treatment, decimating the false equivalence of QAnon conspiracy fantasies and JFK historical research. Jim makes the case that QAnon is at best a myth and at worst a hoax, while throughout the JFK case one can find definite evidentiary conclusions.

Litiwn’s Follies Continued: Starring Hugh Aynesworth and Harry Connick. With smear jobs on Oliver Stone, Fletcher Prouty and Michele Metta. And guess what? LBJ’s own recorded words don’t mean anything, because Johnson was continuing Kennedy’s policy in Vietnam.

Litwin’s Follies about Pierre FInck, Shaw/Bertrand, the FBI cover-up of Clay Shaw, the lies of Kerry Thornley, and James Angleton’s Black Tape operation.

Yawn. Litwin character assassinates Jim Garrison, while concealing FBI and CIA interference in his investigation; he tops that off by whitewashing David Ferrie.

As an introduction to the Fred Litwin Follies, Jim DiEugenio reviews his first book, which attempts to validate the Warren Commission using the thesis that “the authors of the Warren Report were honorable men who conducted an honest investigation and reached the right answer.” Jim, of course, decimates this thesis using a wealth of facts clearly available in the historical record.

David Mantik reviews Fred Litwin’s I was a Teenage JFK Conspiracy Freak by examining 44 different claims from the book and refuting each one using readily available evidence that Litwin appears to be completely unaware of.
