We are back this week with another installment of She Harvey Oswald. Buckle up friends, because from here on out our series-within-a-series on the two would-be female assassins who set their sites on President Gerald Ford is going to get increasingly and precipitously weirder. 

In this episode we start with a little scene setting by covering Project Bluebird—that Cold War era CIA backed mind control program that was the predecessor to Project Artichoke, which then evolved into the infamous Project MKULTRA. Remember, our protagonist, Sara Jane Moore (nee Kahn), presented a highly interesting psychological/neurological profile: she suffered recurrent fainting spells, followed by bouts of amnesia. And given her enlistment in the military-affiliated Civil Air Patrol at the tender age of 15 (not to mention her dad’s employment with weapons manufacturer DuPont Chemical), she was on Uncle Sam’s radar from jump. 

During the time period covered in this episode, Sara Jane Kahn Anderson divorces her first husband, Wally Anderson, shortly after her White House amnesia episode. At just about the same time, she starts a relationship with a man 17 years her senior, a Captain in the U.S. Air Force with connections to the psy-war of his own… Sydney Lewis Manning. 

This episode presents probably the single deepest dive on Manning, the father of FOUR of Sara Jane’s forgotten children. We’re connecting dots that others who’ve covered the assassination attempt didn’t even see. And it tells the story of what happened to those kids, and to Sara Jane’s role as mother to them, as she makes her way out to Kkkalifornia.

Before signing off on this one we read into the record excerpts from the 1979 prison interview (on file with the hosts), which offer the only record evidence of Sara Jane addressing the issue of her early life and marriages. Her answers may lead much to be desired in factual content, but they may give insights into how her mind works. 

We think you will really enjoy this one, and humbly submit it as one of our most eye opening episodes to date. 

Let’s get digging.
