  • The Mystery of William Bruce Pitzer And An Interview With His Nephew Bruce Fernandez Is Now Live At Our You Tube Channel!
    Jun 4 2024

    Please join us over at JFK The Enduring Secret You Tube Channel for another gripping episode in our series entitled Mysteries of the Enduring Secret. Our newest mystery episode covers Commander William Bruce Pitzer. Commander Pitzer died October 29, 1966 and the cause of death was officially ruled a suicide. For those of you who are avid listeners of JFK The Enduring Secret podcast, you know that I produced an extensive podcast episode on this story. It's episode 98 of JFK The Enduring Secret. Well, now, on our JFK Enduring Secret You Tube Channel, Mysteries of the Enduring Secret Series, we bring to you an interview by Rick Russo and myself with William Pitzer's nephew, Bruce Fernandez . Commander Pitzer supposedly died of a self-inflicted gun shot wound to the right temple. Many still believe it was murder and the evidence weighs heavy on that side of the scale…that it was indeed murder. Commander Pitzer was in charge of the Educational Television Division at Bethesda Naval Hospital at the time of the President's death. On the Monday or Tuesday following President Kennedy's autopsy, fellow Navy colleague Dennis David would enter Pitzer's office and see him working on a movie film that had been taken of the President's autopsy. Pitzer was making stills from the movie frames, and analyzing the movie as well. This film has never surfaced. It was believed to be the filming of the pre-examination which likely took place that night before the official autopsy got underway. Listen to our earlier Mysteries of the Enduring Secret episode that covers the two morgues at Bethesda to understand better how Pitzer's involvement fits into the mystery of the two morgues. Along with Robert Knudsen, Pitzer may have been one of two main characters who were involved in producing the visual record of what was actually determined at the Presidents true pre-examination autopsy. Pitzer's death occurred just two days before he was due to retire from active military service. The FBI joined the investigation of his death, and J. Edgar Hoover was directly informed almost immediately about it, as well as the ongoing results of the investigation. While the death was ruled officially a suicide, the forensic evidence points to foul play. The fundamental question was whether Pitzer was in possession of any of those original autopsy materials taken at the pre-exam, and whether there were men determined to gain possession of those materials, and possibly to silence Pitzer in the process. Dennis David observed those materials with Pitzer... and David stated that they clearly showed a shot from the front which had entered and then destroyed a major portion of President Kennedy's brain, creating the related blow out in the rear of his head. Join Rick Russo and I as we follow the trail and discuss the case with Pitzer's nephew Bruce Fernandez, who adored his uncle, and who believes was murdered…Pursuit of the truth in this case has become a life long endeavor for Mr. Fernandez. So hurry up and get on over to our You Tube Channel JFK The Enduring Secret and watch this latest episode. I guarantee…you wont be disappointed! Oh, and if you haven't subscribed yet to our you tube channel…please do!

  • Episode 226 A Deeper Look at the Radical Right Wing Groups and Characters of the Early 60's Part 5 A Recap of the Characters...So Far
    Jun 2 2024

    Episode 226 is the fifth in a series of episodes where we begin to explore the radical right groups of the 1960's that clearly had great motive to murder president Kennedy. Emerging, alongside civil rights leaders, as a prime target for ire of white racists, anti-communists, and and a wide variety of other conservative groups, President Kennedy was a a target among them all. This aspect of the assassination and the connection of the radical right is little explored. We started many episodes back, with the story of Joseph Milteer but its rather easy to pull on that string and find much more underneath the covers. Today's episode Part 5 is a recap of the characters we have introduced...so far. Part3 and 4 of this new wander addressed the story of Wesley Swift and the Christian Identify Movement. In Part 4, we heard Wesley Smith in his own words. This religious practice evolved from the original concept of British Israelism to a brand of racist religious principles that Wesley Swift took to a new level. His church, the Church of Jesus Christ Christian, would be the glue that bound together the plethora of radical right organizations that are relevant to the JFK story. They are the KKK, The John Birch Society, the White Citizens Councils, The National States Rights Party and the Minutemen. These handful of groups were intertwined with men who weaved their way in and out of the shadowy existence of this intense resistance to societal change. The story is not faceless, and we will introduce many of the key characters in this series of episodes that were key to understanding how the radical right may have participated in the JFK Assassination. But first lets explore a bit about these organizations as we go deeper and deeper and connect the players. Today we go deeper in the history of the Christian Identify Movement as we lay the background for its use by these various right wing organizations.

    Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it, were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. This real-life story is more fascinating than fiction. No matter whether you are a serious researcher or a casual student, you will enjoy the fact filled narrative and story as we relive one of the most shocking moments in American History. An event that changed the nation and changed the world forever.

VERY LONG WINDED

Some nice tidbits of info among a lot of talking. Probably could have done it in half the episodes. I could swear he is saying "Osweld" not "Oswald". "Just saying" as Jeff says a million times. The word "wound" is pronounced with an ooh sound...not a long "o" ......wond???? Would not dwell on this stuff but it is constant and drives me nuts along with "without further adeiu" and "sleeping dogs lying"

Maybe the best podcast devoted to this topic

This guy's good! Even his "wanders" and southern accents (in impersonation of Dean Andrews) are way better than he gives himself credit for. He does this all while maintaining a balance and even-keel rare in podcasts of this topic. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in the JFK Assassination.

Never Thought …

…I’d devour a JFK conspiracy podcast. I’ve listened to each and all of Jeff’s episodes in the last 3 weeks. Fascinating, erudite, balanced, and absent the histrionics and “out there” assertions that often steer me away from this genre. He shies away from nothing, taking on it all, but always calling it as his well informed eyes see it.

Jeff’s side trips, and topical cul-de-sac stop offs to address collateral subjects are always a treat. His episodes on the history of Cuba and Fidel Castro are worthy of their own stand-alone topical podcast series.

And finally, Jeff’s humanity, his personal and family anecdotes, sharing joys and challenges with listeners is the absolute icing on the cake.

Try it. You’ll like.

Expertly detailed

I have listened to this podcast since it began. It is well researched and delivered. More details on every conceivable aspect of the JFK assassination. If you’re into deep dives, this is the deepest.
