Gary Fannin

Gary Fannin’s research into the JFK assassination began in 1980 with a high school history report. As luck would have it, he drew JFK out of a hat and has been researching the events of JFK ever since. Initially he looked at library microfilm of newspapers, magazines, etc., and noticed how so many eyewitnesses described the events completely different than what the Warren Report eventually decided on 9/24/64.

He wrote/published, his first book, The Innocence of Oswald—50 Years of Lies, Deception & Deceit in the Murders of President John F. Kennedy & Officer J.D. Tippit. The book uses official documents from the FBI, CIA, Secret Service, Dallas Police Reports/Affidavits & Autopsy Reports to prove Lee Oswald was unequivocally innocent of all charges filed against him. His Kindle version has been ranked as high as #2 and his paperback version as high as #7 on Amazon.com. Fannin also an accompanying documentary DVD.

Fannin recently completed his second book, JFK Marked For Death—Who Stood To Lose Had JFK Lived, and has started on a third, Operation Mockingbird — How The U.S. Government and Media Have Lied about Historical Events.

Fannin also completed working on The American Media & The Second Assassination of President John F. Kennedy —T he Jim Garrison Tapes, Pt. 2. This is the follow up to The Jim Garrison Tapes, the 1993 San Sebastian Film Winner by 5-time Emmy winner, John Barbour.

Fannin has spoken at numerous conferences in Dallas, New Orleans, Washington, D.C., Chicago and Los Angeles. He has interviewed many eyewitnesses (some still alive) in regard to the JFK assassination including;

Dr. Charles Crenshaw

Dr. Robert McClelland

DPD Lead Detective, Jim Leavelle

Marina Oswald Porter

Former Curator of The 6th Floor Museum, Gary Mack and current Curator, Stephen Fagin

Autopsy technician, Paul O’Conner, Jim Jenkins & Dennis David

JFK Honor Guard member, Hubert Clark

Tom Robinson, embalmer of JFK at Bethesda Naval Center

Miller Funeral Home director, Paul Groody (who originally buried Oswald)

LBJ Attorney Barr McClellan

Billie Sol Estes and Watergate Burglar E. Howard Hunt’s lawyer, Douglas Caddy

JFK Researchers Roger Stone, (advisor to President Donald Trump) Philip Nelson,

Robert Groden, J. Gary Shaw, Mark Lane and many more.

Gordon Ferrie

Gordon Ferrie was attached to JFK and Eisenhower’s U.S. Secret Service Protective Details from the time JFK took office until June 0f 1962 and for the last year of the Eisenhower Presidency. From September 1962 until September 1963 Gordon served in Marine Corps Intelligence focusing primarily on Cuba. Gordon also served as a weapons instructor at the Naval Academy at Annapolis in Summer 1962; he is a National Match Shooter and Marine Corps Sniper.

In later years, Gordon had some social contact with Jackie, JFK Jr. and Ted Kennedy through their mutual love of horses (Gordon had a 20-year relationship with the USET in open jumping and combined driving; selected as the Head Referee for the World Pairs Driving Competition in 1963 accompanying Prince Philip for three days) and occasionally hunted with Jackie and JFK Junior while a member of a New Jersey Hunt Club.

A close friend of Barr McClellan, who worked for LBJ’s Law Firm under Ed Clark, says Gordon tells us that “due to security I could not previously go into detail about the time spent in Presidential Protection, but throughout the following 54 years I’ve had fairly continuous contact in regard to National Security events, with the intelligence community (foreign and domestic) and the ‘Military Industrial Complex’.”

His new book describes the complete story of the coup d’ ‘etat including timing, participants, motives and structure. Led by LBJ, it identifies the roles the CIA, FBI, Mafia, Military Intelligence and wealthy persons played in the conspiracy. Key to this was the relationship Gordon had with a participant, Eliot Janeway, political advisor to LBJ, and the confession elicited shortly before his death. Other sources include CIA contract officers, Richard Helms, Director of the CIA, and Secret Service Officers.

William Klaber

Raised in suburban New Jersey, William Klaber graduated from Wesleyan University in 1967, followed by a year of law school at NYU. Out of curiosity he flew to Dallas in 1990 to attend a press conference of one Ricky White who asserted that his father Roscoe had shot President Kennedy. Klaber listened to White’s story and then realized the missing piece belonged to White’s mother, Geneva, who had worked for Jack Ruby. But she was said to be too sick to talk to anyone. Klaber realized that being too sick was the very reason she needed to talk. Passing himself off as a journalist, he asked to interview Geneva and was turned away. He kept at it and was finally brought to Geneva who told him her incredible story. Geneva died a month or two later.

Finding no takers for a magazine article, Klaber turned the interview into a one-hour radio doc called The Confession of Geneva White. The program was played on WBAI in New York and this led to contact with a group of researchers in LA who were going through the recently opened LAPD files on the murder of RFK. Klaber flew to LA and joined the group who were busy writing a Request to the LA Grand Jury to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the LAPD for “destruction of evidence, falsification of evidence and coercion of witnesses.” Klaber was shocked by what this group had uncovered, but was a little surprised that no one had spoken to Sirhan, so he took that on. After a number of unsuccessful attempts, Klaber was finally granted access, and an account of that interview can be found in his book Shadow Play.

Klaber turned the LAPD files and his interview with Sirhan into a magazine article that stripped naked the lies about how Robert Kennedy had died. Vanity Fair said that they wanted the article, paid for it in full, and then refused to run it -- catch and kill. Discouraged, Klaber went back to upstate New York where he decided to create a radio documentary. Using stunning audio tapes of the police coercing witnesses, doctors hypnotizing Sirhan, and people who saw things that didn’t fit with the official story, Klaber put together a one-hour radio doc titled The RFK Tapes. It was the 25th anniversary of the murder and The RFK Tapes was picked up and played on 160 public radio stations. Time magazine ran a full-page article on it and St. Martin’s Press asked Klaber if he would consider writing a book. He said yes, and then approached Prof Phil Melanson, head of the RFK Assassination Archives at UMass Dartmouth and asked if he would join him. Together they wrote Shadow Play.

Klaber took two decades off from political murders, a big part of which went into his well-received novel The Rebellion of Miss Lucy Ann Lobdell. But in 2017 he was approached by Zac Pontier who he had known since he was a boy. Pontier was the co-producer of Crimetown, a successful true-crime series in the surging world of podcast. Pontier asked if Klaber would join him in a podcast about the murder of RFK based loosely on Klaber’s original radio doc. Klaber said yes and agreed to give the project the use of the name The RFK Tapes. But halfway through the project there was a sudden 180-degree turn, and without explanation the podcast began to promote people who continued to lie about the murder of Robert Kennedy. Klaber resigned and left the project.

But in putting together the ill-fated RFK Tapes podcast, Klaber had come into contact with Bill Pepper who told him the incredible story of his 40-year investigation into the murder of King. Pepper showed Klaber an extensive list of witnesses he had interviewed, and Klaber immediately thought podcast. Klaber began to sketch out a podcast story line, and Tenderfoot TV in Atlanta along with iHeart Media expressed interest in doing a podcast on the murder of King. It took three years to put it all together, but The MLK Tapes premiered in January of 2022 and in May won a Webby for Best Limited Series.

In 1975, Groden showed the Zapruder Film live on national television (Good Night America, ABC TV). As a result, he was invited to address the US House of Representatives to present the case for conspiracy via photographic and other evidence. Two days later, a resolution to reopen the investigation was introduced by Representative Thomas N. Downing of Virginia. This led to the creation of the House Select Committee to Investigate Assassinations.

Groden was the staff photographic consultant for the life of the committee. He authored the dissenting opinion report for the HSCA photographic panel. He has consulted with other investigations since then. Groden has written eight books on the assassination. He has consulted on numerous documentaries over the years.

Gary Shaw

Gary Shaw is a first-generation researcher and is considered an authority on the JFK assassination. A retired architect from Cleburne, Texas, Shaw began studying the case the day after it happened. While still in high school, Shaw and some of his classmates formed a “doo-wop” group and began singing back-up for a local rock singer by the name of Johnny Carroll. In about 1957, they performed together at the Texas Theatre in Dallas and it was at one of these performances that the group was introduced to Jack Ruby who had come backstage after the show and asked them to join the artist’s guild in Dallas.

The scuttlebutt in Dallas at the time was that Ruby was Mob connected. After Ruby shot Lee Oswald in the basement of police headquarters, Gary realized something was wrong and began collecting every newspaper, magazine and book he could find.

Later, Shaw met Penn Jones, Jr. of Midlothian, Texas. After reading Forgive My Grief, a self-published book by Jones, Penn sold Gary two complete sets of the 26 volumes and Gary was hooked. He began a close relationship with Penn and eventually began writing articles for Penn’s newspaper, The Midlothian Mirror. He became convinced beyond any shadow of a doubt that the true story of the assassination was not being told by the government and mainstream media.

Decades before the invention of the Internet, Gary traveled across America interviewing individuals directly connected to the case. Some of these are Dallas County Deputy Sheriff Roger Craig, Richard Carr, and Gerry Hemming.

In 1976, along with co-author Larry Ray Harris (1952-1996) he published Cover-Up: The Governmental Conspiracy to Conceal the Facts About the Public Execution of John Kennedy. Later Shaw was an active member of the board of directors for the Assassination Archives and Research Center. He also was co-founder/director with Larry Howard (1940-1993) and Bud Fensterwald (1921-1991) of the JFK Assassination Information Center in Dallas and headed up the Dallas ASK Conferences and served as a consultant to the movie JFK.

In 1992, Shaw co-wrote JFK: The Conspiracy of Silence with Dr. Charles Crenshaw. Immediately after publication, the book was the number one seller of the New York Times list for paperbacks. The book was later updated and republished under the titles, Trauma Room One and JFK Has Been Shot. He was in the process of co-authoring a book about assassination in general with Bud Fensterwald when Bud suddenly died in 1991.

Shaw has recently provided PROJECT JFK/CSI DALLAS access to his large collection of assassination related photographs and color slides. Included in this series are early generation slides from Phil Willis, Wilma Bond, S. L. Reed, and Tina Towner. Each slide was scanned at 48-bit, 3200 dpi format, taken directly from the originals.

“Both Lee and I were fascinated by the world of science fiction,” Baker explains. “We both wanted to write science fiction.” The only such story ever written by Lee Harvey Oswald (“Her Way”) is included in Letters, as well as a section about the FBI’s investigation of Lee’s readings and writings.

Baker’s fourth book, Kennedy & Oswald: The Big Picture, co-written with Edward Schwartz, was released in 2016. “It’s everything you’ll ever need to know about how – and why – the Kennedy assassination and Oswald’s murder is the key to today’s newspaper headlines,” she says.

Baker invented a modified method to obtain magnesium from seawater when 16, induced lung cancer in germ-free mice in only seven days when 17  — a feat that had not been accomplished, at the time, in the nation’s top laboratories — and created a cancer-detection blood test in college when 18. After nearly two years of specialized training, Baker, promised early entry into Tulane Medical School after a summer internship in New Orleans with the renowned Dr. Mary Sherman, found herself in a project to kill Fidel Castro with lung cancer involving persons such as Lee Harvey Oswald and “Dr.” David Ferrie.

Author Edward T. Haslam discovered Baker was the last living witness who could verify particulars of his own decades-long, extensive research into the connections between Sherman’s brutal, unsolved murder on July 21, 1964, the day the Warren Commission came to New Orleans to obtain testimonies on Dr. Alton Ochsner, Lee Oswald, contaminated polio vaccines, David Ferrie, cancer epidemics and the Kennedy assassination.

Baker, who had an affair with Oswald, is determined to clear his name. She founded the JFK Assassination Conference. In 2016, the second annual Oswald Conference was held in New Orleans, assisted by Baker’s “politically incorrect annual birthday parties in Lee’s honor” there. Baker also sponsors the JFK Memorial Ceremony at the Grassy Knoll on November 22.

Damon ISE

Damon Ise’s aviation interests and career have spanned more than 40 years. After earning his private pilot’s rating in July of 1977, Ise went on to receive the ratings of commercial pilot, instrument pilot, and flight instructor. Southern New England based, many of his training flights were flown to Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket under both visual and instrument flight conditions.

He worked for the State of Rhode Island as an airport attendant and traffic advisor at North Central State Airport. He was a founding Father of the Quonset Air Museum and served as the organization’s president for several years. In 1994, Ise led the salvage team who recovered A U.S. Navy F6F Hellcat off the waters of Martha’s Vineyard.

As a local aviation professional, Ise was solicited by the Providence journal shortly after the terrible death of John Kennedy Jr., his wife, Carolyn, and her sister, Lauren. Having no reason to doubt the official story, Ise lent a “boiler plate” opinion of the circumstances surrounding the so-called accident. Just casual remarks with no real research. Opinion without study of the facts.

Twelve years later, while digging through a closet, Ise found the faded yellow Sunday edition of The Providence Journal. He re-read the quotes which had made the front page.

Ise began his research after questioning the accuracy of the original “Official Story” regarding John’s death. He is still uncovering the roots of deception, fed to the public regarding the demise of a skilled pilot and truly dynamic and charismatic individual, John Kennedy Jr.

John did not die by accident.
