Well, folks, we are back in Jerryworld, and we are right on to the next series within a series. The one you’ve been waiting for. The one we’ve been waiting for. It’s She. Harvey. Oswald. Our deep dive into the two assassination attempts on Gerald Ford just over a year into his presidency. We are just in time for the 50th anniversary of “almost-bloody September” 1975. 

On September 5, 1975, Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme - one of the original members of the Manson family, then aged 26 years old - pointed a .45 caliber pistol at Jerry Ford as he pressed the flesh outside the California state house in Sacramento. She said she did it for the redwoods, and insisted she didn’t intend to hurt anyone.

Just 17 days later, on September 22, a 45-year-old accountant named Sara Jane Moore fired a shot at Jerry with a .38 pistol outside of San Francisco’s St. Francis Hotel. She missed by a mere six inches. Moore had spent the California years of lead deeply embedded in the revolutionary left-wing scene in the Bay Area… as an informant for the FBI. 

There is so much to these deepest of deep events, and we will get into all of it in this miniseries, but first, in this episode, we will set the stage. That proprietary Fourth Reich Archaeology lens, fully equipped with some extensive quotation by Guy Debord, and a zoomed-out snapshot of the development of the spectacle between November 63 and September 75. This episode really has it all. Gerald Ford, geopolitical mise-en-scene, female assassins, radical leftists, parallels to the present day, and so much more.
