Your host the winner of the Daughters of the American Revolution American History Award considering the files of recent history the JFK, MLK assassinations not to mention Jeffrey Epstein
JFK-RFK ASSASSINATIONS-THE KENNEDY FAMILY ALWAYS SAW CONSPIRACY
As far as the Kennedy Family is concerned there was a conspiracy to kill President John F. Kennedy and that has driven them through the generations.
That drives so much of our conversation through the decades about a conspiracy to kill JFK.
It's worth noting a Kennedy sits on President Trump's cabinet and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. lives with the assassination of his father (RFK) in his memory.
Heck RFK Jr. sees a conspiracy in his father's killing and has forgiven the convicted killed Sirhan Sirhan and testified at parole hearings for him.
Back on the JFK Assassination was assassin Lee Harvey Oswald some sort of a pawn for 'a conspiracy'?
Much bad blood with Lyndon Johnson over the years the Johnson and Kennedy factions with historians glorifying their respective presidencies.
JFK's widow Jacqueline Kennedy interviewed on tape in the months after the assassination talking about political enemies and that's where Dr. Martin Luther King comes in.
She speaks of Dr. King as a 'despicable man...arranging for orgies' and she means it.
The gossip from FBI wiretaps reached the White House in the fall of 1963.
Dr. King succeeded in forcing JFK's hand on civil rights in the Birmingham protests in the spring of that year leading to the wiretapping.
Those six- and seven-year-old children marching into the police line getting arrested helped to change the course of history.
THE MARTIN LUTHER KING ASSASSINATION-WILL THE SEXUAL MISCONDUCT OF MLK BE MORE FULLY KNOWN AND OR UNDERSTOOD?
The radio preachers I listened to as a teenager in the 1970's were also part of a network of people exposed to the sexual side of MLK.
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover dished the dirt around from surveillance of King to those opposed to civil rights protests and laws in the 1960's like Democrat US Senators from the South and 'right-wing media' like those preachers got it passed on to them.
In the end the contents of the audio surveillance tapes of MLK in hotel-motel rooms sealed by a federal judge until 2027 back in the 1970's.
Still a few years short on that but maybe there are printed files that reference this more than what we have already seen some MLK documents came out with JFK Assassination files release during President Trump's first term.
THE EPSTEIN FILES-ISRAEL AND DEMOCRATS OR DOES TURKEY (TURKIYE) RUN THIS COUNTRY?
Democrats and Israeli politicians of the Left already linked to Jeffrey Epstein that is for sure?
But was Epstein somehow linked to Israel or its intelligence apparatus more closely?
The father of his close associate Ghislaine Maxwell Robert Maxwell did yeoman's work for Israel that is the record.
Alan Dershowitz a lifelong operative for Israel in this country right there by Epstein. Dershowitz with the Clintons and in more recent times more supportive of Donald J. Trump like he was of Bill Clinton in the 1990's.
I'm not going to dance around this I support Israel still do am a "Recovering Antisemite"
Israel is influencing this country in a way no other nation does.
The arrests of the US student protesters the probes of universities over Antisemitism, the cutoff of aid to Columbia University.
Also sanctions on the International Criminal Court prosecuting Benjamin Netanyahu, sanctions on South Africa following its support for Palestinians etc. etc. now the US expelling South Africa's ambassador.
The tough sanctions on Iran over a nuclear program seen as a threat to Israel with President Trump's warnings to Iran to 'negotiate or else'.
Meanwhile in Israel accusations about Qatar and its influence on Israel runs wild.
PM Benjamin Netanyahu and others allowed Qatari money to fund Hamas in Gaza before the October 2023 attack on Israel. It was done in the name of 'keeping the peace'.
There's a criminal investigation in Israel right now about aides to Mr. Netanyahu taking money from Qatar.
Qatar is allied with Turkey (Türkiye) there are Turkish troops in Qatar and Qatari money supports Turkey. And now Turkey has its friend Ahmad al-Sharaa the jihadist in power in Syria.
Israel raising noise about atrocities and persecution of minorities like Christians in Syria right now.
SO, IF ISRAEL RUNS THE UNITED STATES THE MONEY FLOW TO ISRAEL MAY CONNECT BACK TO THE TURKS
In Syria the Turkish backed jihadists rule but there's pushback.
These folks are the Friends of Lindsey Graham Republican US Senator of South Carolina.

But the next speaker with a Jewish background has had quite a life including her first marriage with another Jewish searcher both deciding to follow Yeshua (Jesus).
This video from Melody Green's appearance at the Messianic congregation in Newcastle, Washington back in 2012...
Something I have been reflecting on in the last 24 hours....
"You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.
Or do you think Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us?
But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: 'God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble'
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter in to mourning and your joy into gloom.
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up"
JAMES 4:4-10 NIV BIBLE
