This is how history gets distorted— unintentionally. David Frum tells a powerful story about JFK’s assassination and Jacqueline Kennedy’s empathy for the wife of another victim that day. There’s just one problem. He says Lee Harvey Oswald killed a Secret Service agent. He didn’t. Oswald killed Dallas police officer...

Time for a dose of reality. This 👇is the supposedly smoking gun video that Rep. Anna Paulina Luna said last night had "never been seen before" and "could blow open the entire JFK investigation." Luna said she learned about it from Oliver Stone and said the video "shows Oswald near the vehicle [JFK's limo] when the assassination took place, which means he couldn't have been the shooter." And she told a credulous Jesse Watters, NBC had been "very, very much guarding this tape." A small problem. It is NOT a secret video that has never been seen. It is available for anyone to watch at the Sixth Floor Museum in Dallas (or on their YouTube channel). What Rep. Luna is referring to is a clip of a film taken by Jimmy Darnell, an NBC affiliate cameraman who had been riding in the "press camera cars" behind the motorcade. He, and three other cameramen had jumped out of their car after the shots and started filming about 30 seconds AFTER the assassination. Darnell's film shows Dallas police officer Marrion Baker running to the front door of the Texas School Book Depository, and past the TSBD's supervisor, Roy Truly, both of whom would encounter Oswald in less than another 30 seconds, on the second floor. Oswald was on his way out of the building, having come down from the sixth floor after the shooting. Truly vouched for Oswald and Baker let him go. Some conspiracy theorists think that a few seconds in the Darnell film shows a figure on the far-left side of the front of the Texas School Book Depository they believe is Oswald. The figure has been dubbed prayer man, some say because of the way he has his arms crossed in front of him, while others think the conjecture is the equivalent of a conspiracy Hail Mary prayer long shot. For those not into the weeds on the JFK assassination, this is not the first time that a film or photo has been used to try and exonerate Oswald. For many years, conspiracy theorists contended that Oswald was visible in one of the pictures taken by James Altgens, an AP photographer at the scene. Oswald, they contended, was the fuzzy figure in a white t-shirt standing to the left entrance of the TSBD. That was in fact one of Oswald's coworkers, Billy Lovelady. Even AFTER Lovelady identified himself as the person in the photo, some conspiracy theorists refused to believe him. Oliver Stone and others have now turned to the Darnell film and the person standing to the left of Lovelady. Maybe that is Oswald. It is not even clear from the fuzzy image if it is absolutely a white man. It could even be a light-colored black or Latin person. But to Stone and Luna and others, it is Oswald. Thirteen of Oswald’s work colleagues were standing at the front steps of the Texas School Book Depository. They were there to watch the motorcade. Not one of them remembers seeing Oswald there. That has not stopped the conspiracy theorists, who claim the clothing on the unidentified man looks like what Oswald wore when he was arrested after killing Dallas police officer J.D. Tippit. Ten other Texas School Book Depository employees wore shirts like the one on “prayer man.” The entire exercise might as well be a Rorschach inkblot test. That is what happened before in the case, for instance, with a half-inch square portion of Mary Moorman’s badly faded Polaroid taken a split second after the assassination. Conspiracy theorists enhanced it and blew it up and thought they had found the image of the phantom second shooter on the Grassy Knoll, someone they dubbed “badgeman.” They claimed that greatly enlarged pixels identified a rifle and a Dallas police uniform. The enhanced photo only shows shadows and trees, no person, no shooter. Now, Oliver Stone and others believe the only thing preventing an ironclad identification of Oswald in the Darnell film is that they do not have the original first-generation. The Sixth Floor Museum version is a second-generation print of the film that the Museum acquired as part of a personal collection in 2006. No one is certain if a first-generation version exists, but the guess by Luna and Stone is that it must be somewhere in the long-lost archives at NBC. Not quite the same as NBC having, as Rep. Luna claimed, “very, very much guarding it.” I hope that the Oversight Committee gets the original Darnell video. Many of us would like to see the clearest possible version of the frenetic scenes that played out in the minutes after the assassination. For those, however, who think it will be dispositive and exculpatory evidence that Oswald was hanging out at the front of the School Book Depository, good luck. That story might earn a headline in the National Enquirer or the Daily Mail. It should not be the ‘breaking news’ from the congresswoman leading the new investigation into the assassination of President Kennedy.

There was a point in my conversation with Andrew Bridgen (Andrew Bridgen) where everything slowed down and the weight of what was being discussed became very real. This is a disgusting subject. It’s horrifying. And it’s exactly why it rarely gets talked about. Andrew speaks about child abuse and child trafficking into the UK and about how quickly the shutters come down when these issues are raised. Not debate. Not investigation. Silence. He goes further and explains something most people instinctively reject because it’s so hard to process. That at the very highest levels of power, child abuse and trafficking function as a form of sacrifice and as a binding mechanism. A glue that holds corruption together. Something so dark and compromising that it ensures silence, loyalty, and control among the most powerful people in the world. For most decent people, even contemplating this feels impossible. And that inability to imagine it is part of why it continues. It protects those involved. Andrew talks about having seen evidence. About how deeply disturbing it is. About the fact that even police officers investigating child abuse are limited in how long they can work on these cases because of the psychological damage it causes. This is not said lightly. And it’s not said for shock value. Posting this is not comfortable. Talking about it is not safe. Even sharing this conversation carries risk. But pretending these things don’t exist doesn’t make them go away. It only protects the structures that allow them to continue. If there are subjects that are truly forbidden, truly untouchable, then we should be asking why. And who benefits from that silence.

Issues of paternity have shaped our society for generations, especially in Zimbabwe. They did not start today. I remember going to a funeral with my father in the 1990s, and as we sat around the fire the men began sharing stories. One of them has stayed with me ever since. A Zimbabwean doctor had married a nurse, and they struggled to have children. As usual, when there is no child, the blame was placed on the woman. She went to see her own doctor, who told her plainly that she was not the problem, and advised her to bring her husband for testing. The husband refused, as many Zimbabwean men tend to do. Their marriage eventually collapsed, with the man insisting he could not be the problem because he had a child with another woman before marrying the nurse. That woman, he said, was also a doctor, and he was raising that child. After the divorce, the nurse remarried another doctor, and she immediately fell pregnant. Because it was a tight medical community, the whole situation became a talking point. The ex-husband had loudly declared that his former wife was barren, yet here she was having one child after another, three in total, with her new husband. Meanwhile, the ex-husband remarried, and again there were no children. One day the ex-husband and his former wife met at a gathering. During a casual conversation, as people who once knew each other, she told him directly that he was raising a child who was not his. She told him that he had no capacity to father a child and that if he finally went for tests, he would discover the truth. She reminded him how he had insulted her and her parents, and how he had refused to listen. The revelation shook him. He went for tests, and it was confirmed that he was the problem. He had spent seventeen years looking after a child who was not his. The moral of the story is simple, and I always stress this when mentoring young people. When in doubt, check. In fact, even without doubt, check. A DNA test at birth saves you from future heartbreak. Many men are raising children who are not theirs. Some women know exactly what they are doing. Others genuinely do not know because their relationships overlapped before they settled down. In those cases, even the woman cannot be sure who the father is. So when you have a child, get a DNA test. If you ask for one and a woman becomes defensive or resistant, that is a major red flag. At that point, the test is no longer optional, it is necessary. That is the reality of life today. As they say, trust is beautiful, but DNA is confirmation. In this life we live, hope is not a strategy when it comes to your children, so test your child and protect your future, as the saying goes. I have DNA stories that I could share for a whole year. If compulsory DNA testing was demanded of all of us today, you will be shocked by what will come out. This brother in the video is now going through denial. He has been told the truth, but he is still in shock, which is why he is asking for silly things from this woman. It is hard for any man to discover that the child he believed was his belongs to another man. That is why DNA testing is a necessity and why it should be compulsory.

Trying to catch up on the entire interview with Heart Radio but absolutely LOVING the segment of him gushing about Catherine and the children❤️ His entire demeanor and body is very relaxed when he talks about them and you can tell he cherishes and adores them to pieces👌🏽 I love him imitating Catherine asking "Where is my husband?"😚 Of Course he is proud of Catherine, what husband would not be if she were his wife? I LOVE how warm his deep tone is when he speaks of his wife, one can feel there is a lot of love, respect and affection there, especially he talks about her passion for her work, her reading her research in their bedroom and how he was so proud as a husband to watch her shine in Italy ❤️ I especially love that he mentioned how stunning she is and looks. He seldomly talks about her physical appearance but he is very conscious that he married a very beautiful woman and as I watched her so radiant, so incredibly graceful and gorgeous in Italy, I was thinking William must be feeling like a King right now at seeing his beautiful wife glow out there especially after her health journey to get there❤️‍🩹 I laughed at him replying to Holden that "he did not even know Catherine spoke Italian and that she must have dusted it off from somewhere"😅😂 Good girl, she keeps some tricks still hidden and keeps her husband surprised🤭 Finally the most beautiful part is thim saying how " she is an amazing mother and wife and that they could not cope as a family without her and also him wanting to make sure she is alright before she gets back to a grueling international traveling schedule"❤️‍🩹🥹 Indeniably, this man adores his wife and the family they have created and does not take them for granted. On the contrary, he prioritises them, provides for them and protects them as a Good husband should do. In that Catherine lucked out too with William, not because he is the Wealthy Heir, because Diana married the Wealthy Heir too and we saw the result.. No Catherine lucked out because she truly fell in love and married a good man who loves her too, who adores her, respects her and to whom she and her children are the centre of the world. That is one of the greatest blessing in life❤️
