 The Journey 180. The Privileged View of LBJ's Mistress 

In this episode, Adam Finnegan and Kris Millegan talk to Peggy Brown, daughter-in-law of Madeline Brown, to discuss her book "Privileged View: The Confessions of Madeleine Brown, Mistress of LBJ and Witness to History" to discuss some of the history and what it was like to grow up in these circles and what some of the people in it were like.

Madeleine Duncan Brown’s Privileged View reveals a vivid insider’s account of Texas politics, power, and secrecy that reverberates through U.S. history. As Lyndon B. Johnson’s confidante and lover, Brown witnessed behind closed doors the maneuvers of oilmen, politicians, and influencers who shaped America’s destiny. Through Brown’s perspective, readers are drawn into the heart of the Texas elite — figures like Clint Murchison, H.L. Hunt and Johnson himself — as they orchestrate and control, from covert alliances to shocking admissions. 

In a book endorsed by Jim Marrs, author of Crossfire, the basis for Oliver Stone’s JFK, Brown recounts chilling events from Johnson’s whispered promise that the “Kennedys will never embarrass me again,” to firsthand insights about the 8F Group, a powerful oil-and-political syndicate. This tale is not just about one man’s rise to power, but a web of influence stretching across high-stakes dealings, friendships with mobsters, and crucial moments in U.S. history, such as the Kennedy assassination and the Vietnam War escalation. Privileged View brings readers to the tables where Texas’s elite made history— in smoky backrooms, on private ranches, and in extravagant gatherings where decisions that shaped the nation were made. As Brown navigates a path through these dangerous waters, she uncovers shocking truths, including how Lyndon B. Johnson and the powerful oilmen shaped and protected their interests at any cost. Her story offers a compelling lens on the dark side of American politics, exposing a narrative that remained hidden for decades. 

Madeleine Duncan Brown (1925-2002) was an American who claimed to be a longtime mistress of United States President Lyndon B. Johnson. In addition to claiming that a son was born out of that relationship, Brown also implicated Johnson in a conspiracy to assassinate President John F. Kennedy. 

Jim Marrs (1943-2017) was an American newspaper journalist and New York Times best-selling author of books and articles on a wide range of alleged cover-ups and conspiracies. Marrs was a prominent figure in the JFK assassination conspiracy theories community and his 1989 book Crossfire was a source for Oliver Stone’s 1991 film JFK.

This is an unprecedented story of one man’s survival in his struggle against the power of the Federal Government, State Government, the extreme right, the religious right, the mob, and the cult of Freemasonry.

Bush’s former attorney, the son of a mobster who was a known associate of Santo Trafficante Jr., the son of the racist doctor who chose the first astronauts, former Governor Rick Scott, the US Acting Assistant Attorney General and future Acting Attorney General, and parade of religious leaders willing to commit crimes to protect a monster, and many others.

John Loftus. "Q" Clearance Warrior.

In this episode, Publisher Kris Millegan and TrineDay's new assistant host, A. W. Finnegan, speak with guest John J. Loftus, author of America's Nazi Secret (Formerly The Belarus Secret), about his pioneering work in America's Nazi Secret, being the first to disclose the to the public the biological warfare connections to Lyme disease, which he had learned early on through his connections with the intelligence community, particularly through one of his biodefense sources, who also held a "Q" Clearance like him. 

Loftus and Finnegan discuss their getting to know each other and corresponding for several years during Finnegan's writing of The Sleeper Agent: The Rise of Lyme Disease, Chronic Illness, and the Great Imitator Antigens of Biological Warfare. They discuss some of the intricacies in the way these biological wars began in World War I and continued through today.

TrineDay’s The Journey Podcast 172
Onward! Kris, Paul, Liz, Kent and Adam Wish Bruce Well

Publisher Kris Millegan and authors Paul Fitzgerald, Elizabeth Gould, S. K. Bain and A. W. Finnegan wish Bruce de Torres well as he becomes Communications Director for the American Small Business League. Bruce became TrineDay’s Marketing Director in 2020 when Kris launched TrineDay’s podcast, THE JOURNEY: Conversations with Publisher Kris Millegan.

Bruce’s book, GOD, SCHOOL, 9/11 AND JFK: The Lies That Are Killing Us and The Truth That Sets Us Free, came out in 2021 (Read the amazing reviews at BrucedeTorres.com!), the same year Kris launched TrineDay’s Live monthly Zoom Roundtables, inspired by Paul and Liz’s book, THE VALEDICTION, their two-part memoir about the mainstream media’s refusal to broadcast the truths that Paul and Liz found in Afghanistan about the Soviet Union’s presence there in the 1980s, and about what Paul and Liz call “the narrative creation process.”

The Roundtables explore JFK’s vision of peace, and economic justice as the foundation for a genuine world peace, highlighting the principles of Henry George, 19th Century American political economist. Future Roundtables can be found at Valediction.net, under Events. Past Roundtables can be seen on YouTube, on the channel called “Valediction Vision.”

S. K. Bain is the author of four TrineDay books: THE MOST DANGEROUS BOOK IN THE WORLD: 9/11 as Mass Ritual; THE END…IS ONLY THE BEGINNING: 2022 and the Coming of God; BLACK JACK: The Dawning of the New Great Age of Satan; and MOST DANGEROUS: A True Story. His humor lets the reader comprehend the malice evident in the events he relates.

A. W. Finnegan is the author of THE SLEEPER AGENT: The Rise of Lyme Disease, Chronic Illness and the Great Imitator Antigens of Biological Warfare, “very different than what most people think of when they hear ‘biological warfare.’ An attack to tire and exhaust; to take down your enemy over one hundred years, not six months or so with a deadly disease, because those burn out quickly and actually don’t do as much damage. … if you take out the immune system, there’s a secondary effect on the brain, causing what I call the dark triad: chronic disease, neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders, and cancers. All three of those are absolutely exploding in western countries today.”

Inspired by Paul and Liz’s stories of synchronicities, dreams, and other mystical experiences, Bruce describes seeing JFK in his mind’s eye while standing near the eternal flame at Arlington Cemetery, then having an echo or bookend experience while standing on the Grassy Knoll in Dealey Plaza seven years later.

“TrineDay will always be family. I will stay in touch. And, as Kris says, there is a right way to walk here on earth, a right way for us to treat our brothers and sisters.”
