The Headshot Sports Talk Call-In Show; Group 40, or, The Kill Kastro Klub Becomes The Kill Kennedy Kommittee; the CIA, the Mafia, and a whole lot of heroína; Howard Hughes, the world's most racist vampire (sorry, Peter Thiel); the young John Kennedy, warhawk mediocrity, somehow both stiff-backed and spineless; Patrice Lumumba's head mailed to the Inaugural Ball in a takeout carton.

NOTE, c. 2020: I mention Jimmy Files in this episode and perhaps one or more of the sequels; I no longer regard his story as viable.

Mike I’m loving being able to get to hear your ideas and feel your presence and humor. I missed it!

Need a deep dive into Cybersyn

Even though I know what’s coming, can’t help hoping he makes it out alive this time

Why the Jimmy files dismissal?

You know, I was relistening the part 5 yesterday and I was thinking of asking you whether you thought there were any other scenario that you considered plausible besides the jimmy files one. Anyways, as you said "why" is the more important question rather than the "who".

James Files? That's like Veciana's stories and Judyth Baker's bullshit. To be avoided-- good move!

new to your show, i absolutely love it. any credence or insight into the grateful dead/owsley being a CIA op? 'acid dreams' gets very suggestive of this but it's all very inferred. i love their music and ethos and this quirk just adds another bizarre angle to it. some fellow wrote a pretty dubious/bullshit seeming book about the laurel canyon scene's ties to intelligence which seemed pretty questionable which is why i approach this with a lot of skepticism. maybe you already have an episode about this. also as a zappa fan.... what do you think of the dead?
