It seems that Thomas Matthew Crooks, who attempted to assassinate Ex-President Donald Trump on July 13th, was very interested in the John F. Kennedy assassination and Lee Harvey Oswald. We'll discuss that in this week's episode of The End of Innocence.

When 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks shot at former-President Donald Trump on July 13, the American public was ready with conspiracy theories explaining how and why he did it. And that shouldn’t come as a shock. Most Americans think President John F Kennedy was assassinated as part of a conspiracy, either by the US Government, Cubans, or the Mafia. They’re primed to believe their government is keeping secrets from them—because it is.

In this week's episode we are going to listen to Part 2 of Penn Jones' 1966 interview on KPFA radio. This is a very rare and important interview from one of the best JFK assassination researchers of our time. In this interview he talks a lot about Jack Ruby's connections to the Dallas Police and more about some mysterious deaths that happened to researchers and witnesses after the assassination.

In this week's episode, we will listen to a very rare 1966 interview with Penn Jones Jr. about his book "Forgive My Grief." Penn had some significant things to say in this interview and the fact that he uncovered some of the things he did so early into the investigation speaks to what a great researcher he was. This is a very important interview with an introduction by author and researcher James Di Eugenio.

Over the past several episodes, we have been looking at heroes in the JFK assassination research community. This week I wanted to share with you about my research hero. He is said to be the grandfather of the JFK assassination researchers. His name is Penn Jones Jr, and his story is one that needs to be told.

A big thank you to Zach Rateliff of 107.1 KTFS News Talk Radio for having me on this morning for an interview. I hope you enjoy listening to the interview as much as I did taking part in it.

Over the past several episodes, we have been looking at heroes in the JFK assassination research community. This week I wanted to share a story with you about my friend and fellow author and research colleague, Jim Marrs. Jim's book "Crossfire" was a source for Oliver Stone's 1991 movie "JFK."

In this week's episode, we take our last look at Mark Lane's 1967 documentary, "Rush to Judgement." We will hear from a witness who saw the J.D. Tippit shooting and from several witnesses who were in Dealey Plaza when the President was murdered. We will also hear from the woman who took the most famous picture of the President at the exact moment of the fatal headshot.

In this episode, we will hear from witnesses to the assassination interviewed by author and attorney Mark Lane for his 1967 documentary, "Rush to Judgement." These were first-hand, boots-on-the-ground witnesses who saw the assassination of Kennedy happen before their own two eyes. Their account of what happened that day will make you doubt what the government tells us about the killing of the President.

In this week's episode, we continue to look at heroes of the JFK assassination research community. This week we hear from one of the earliest challengers of the Warren Commision's report on the assassination. Mark Lane was a relentless researcher and his early criticism of the Warren Report helped pave the way for researchers like myself today.
