Egos and Grifters | JFK, Operation Mockingbird & the Crisis of TruthAn Interview with Historian Tim FattigIn this episode, I sit down with JFK researcher and historian Tim Fattig for a blunt, no-nonsense conversation about how the truth surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy has been distorted—both then and now.We examine Operation Mockingbird and its lasting influence on American media from 1963 onward, exploring how narratives were shaped, controlled, and repeated until they became accepted “history.” From there, we dig into Lee Harvey Oswald’s strange and tightly controlled world, why Dallas in 1963 resembled a Truman Show–like environment for Oswald, and why newly released government files continue to raise more questions than answers.We also discuss the suspicious roles of Michael and Ruth Paine, the enduring shadow of Allen Dulles, and why institutional power—not lone actors—remains central to understanding November 22, 1963.Beyond the assassination itself, this conversation confronts a growing problem inside the modern JFK research community:ego, grifting, and social-media theatrics that undermine serious investigation. We talk openly about why some voices need to step back, drop the clout-chasing, and refocus on evidence rather than engagement metrics.This episode is a call for clarity, humility, and intellectual honesty in a space that desperately needs it.🧭 Topics CoveredOperation Mockingbird and media control after 1963Lee Harvey Oswald and the illusion of free movementWhy Dallas functioned like a controlled stage for OswaldThe Paine household and unresolved contradictionsAllen Dulles and the architecture of deceptionWhy JFK file releases can’t be taken at face valueEgo, grifters, and the degradation of serious researchThe danger of viral JFK theories on social media
