Episode 234 is the eleventh 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 11 explores the possibility that the radical right deployed Oswald to Clinton and Jackson on a very specific mission to engage in an activity that they knew would be critical to derailing CORE's voter registration drive going on there. Today's episode is part one of a two part series on this topic. As a juror listen to this episode as we set the plate in the leadup to why Lee Harvey Oswald's handlers took him to Clinton. Sit back as we explain the social context of the story, all the way back to the House Un-American Committee and the Senate SiSS committee both of whom were actively investigating subversives at the time and engaged with Guy Bannister and others to help do so. The story and explanations in this two part miniseries may be the most plausible explanation yet for what Oswald was doing in Clinton and the next episode 235 presents the details of why this seems so believable. Much of this theory comes from author Jeff Caufield's book entitled General Walker and the Murder of President Kennedy. As the jury, you be the judge of whether this was the real reason Oswald went to Clinton. And then ponder what it means for how Oswald might have been used in Dallas and just who deployed him there... Join us throughout this series on the radical right as we highlight th the nexus of ultra right wing characters that help us understand more intuitively how the radical right may have fit into the picture of the assassination. Characters that advance our understanding of the nexus of connections between a wide array of actors within the radical right. And with this exercise, we show how so many of these connections lead back to New Orleans and Dallas and to particular figures of the radical right including Guy Bannister. A nexus of connections with a common thread of hatred for President Kennedy.

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.
