JFK, the man, his mistresses, the Warren Commission and reasonable doubt34:10
This is an picture of JFK the man, the vastness of his popularity, his Jungian “numinosity” and his many mistresses and hypersexual disorder along with a presentation of the Warren Commission case for the prosecution as well as an examination of “reasonable doubt” that might be presented as the defense. Introduction to some of the major conspiracy theories begins here as well

Recommended readings: Conspiracy in Camelot ch 1-4 (New York: Algora, 2003)
Lecture 2 New documents released & Howard Hunt's confession23:15
This marks the end of the ‘reasonable doubt’ idea, and now we begin to look at the most recent documents released under Trump and Biden. These documents color all of our previous ideas about conspiracies. They are new, generally unknown, and immensely relevant to sorting out what actually happened. We are also introducing one of the most important deathbed confessions in all of Kennedy lore, the confession of E. Howard Hunt.

Description

This is a full, robust discussion of the ins and outs of the Kennedy assassination.

It begins by a full review of the Warren Commission and its findings about Lee Harvey Oswald. This lecture is based on Dr. Kroth’s first book on JFK: Conspiracy in Camelot, New York, Algora, 2001. Following that presentation is a presentation of all the evidence of “reasonable doubt” that has been assembled over the last 61 years.

From that point the following lectures explore the most empirically well established conspiracy theories, and here we explore the involvement of Lyndon Johnson, the CIA and various Mafia conspirators. The full scale presentation of this well-documented theory is based on Dr. Kroth’s subsequent book “The Assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy: what really lhappened.” (Genotype, 2023).

Finally, the Biden and Trump administrations released over 50,000 documents related to the assassination over the years 2015 to 2021. These revelations add some light on the existing theories, and they will similarly be presented to add to or diminish the existing theories of the assassination.

The class is made up of 8 thirty- minute lectures replete with film clips and slides. Readings are recommended but not required. Dr. Kroth can be contacted during for questions though his website which he will list as the class proceeds. His texts may be purchased at Amazon if desired.
