On the Show — Donald Jeffries

[Gene Steinberg]

Donald Jeffries brings listeners to The Paracast what may be the ultimate conspiracy theory. He began researching the JFK assassination in the mid-1970s as a teenage volunteer with Mark Lane's Citizens Committee of Inquiry. His books include the best-sellers "Hidden History: an Expose of Modern Crimes," "Conspiracies, and Cover-Ups in American Politics," "Survival of the Richest: How the Corruption of the Marketplace and the Disparity of Wealth Created the Greatest Conspiracy of All," "Crimes and Cover-Ups in American Politics: 1776-1963," "Bullyocracy: How the Social Hierarchy Enables Bullies to Rule Schools, Workplaces, and Society at Large," "On Borrowed Fame: Money, Mysteries, and Corruption in the Entertainment World."

His latest book is "From Strawberry Fields to Abbey Road: A Billy Shears Story," written along with Don Wilson. It's an absorbing look at one of the wildest rumors to ever come out of the entertainment world — the "Paul is Dead" legend. The authors detail the history behind the rumor, and numerous figures from show business, as well as Beatles experts, share their own thoughts on the subject, as well as how the Beatles impacted their lives.

The book features contributions from many celebrities and music industry insiders. Included are: Fred LaBour (generally credited with creating the "Paul is Dead" legend), Laurence Juber (member of the band Wings), Steve Boone (member of the band The Lovin' Spoonful), Bruce Spizer (author of many books on the Beatles, considered the expert on Beatlemania), Susan Olsen (Cindy on The Brady Bunch), actor/comedian Richard Belzer, Ivor Davis (British journalist who covered the Beatles 1964 American tour), Oscar-nominated actress Sally Kirkland, Vera Ramone King (wife of Dee Dee Ramone), Leslie Cavendish (the Beatles' personal barber), Tony Peck (actor/screenwriter son of Gregory Peck), John Barbour (creator and co-host of the TV show Real People), Diane Renay (recording artist best known for the 1963 hit single Navy Blue, was the Beatles first choice to be their opening act), Richie Furay (Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member, co-founded Buffalo Springfield with Stephen Stills and Neil Young), Victoria Jackson (actress best known as a regular cast member on Saturday Night Live), Mickey Leigh (musician, brother of Joey Ramone), Bob Cowsill (of the band The Cowsills), veteran actor Nick Mancuso (best known for starring in the TV Series Stingray), and Jon Provost (Timmy on the Lassie TV series), among many others.

Jeffries has a weekly podcast: "I Protest" which live streams every Friday on the American Unplugged channel at Rokfin.com.

This show has turned out to be a fascinating romp through a number of conspiracies, not just the "Paul is Dead" story.

 

[Gene Steinberg]

During the show, as we discussed conspiracy theories, he talked about the alleged mysterious death, in 2001, of a woman who worked in an office run by Joe Scarborough, then a Congressman from Florida.

Based on this article, her death was due to a perfectly identifiable cause, and Scarborough was on the floor of Congress voting when the incident reportedly occurred:

Husband of Scarborough aide who died in 2001 speaks out about Trump's conspiracy tweets: 'It's just inhuman'

The widower of a former aide to Joe Scarborough said the conspiracy theories about the death of his wife have caused the family pain and anguish.

Scarborough, a conservative former Republican, is currently host of the "Morning Joe" show on MSNBC. His is one of the examples that disprove the contention that the network is mainly a liberal outlet.

This was a very entertaining show and even if you don't believe the theories it is definitely worth a listen.
I don't accept the theory that others were involved in Kennedy's murder and actually prefer the explanation given by Mick West on the 21st of November 2021.(This show is in the Paracast archives)
