Tucker Carlson on the Kennedy Assassination

[Charles Collins]

Carlson is probably citing the research of Tom O’Neill. Here’s a clip of him from Joe Rogan’s show:

Is this in response to my question? The video says West was court appointed. I don’t believe that and I am not going to spend twenty minutes of my time watching this silly crap. If you cannot answer the question and cannot show where the court “appointed” West, then please stop disseminating this nonsense.

I encourage you to watch and make up your own mind. It never hurts to hear different points of view.

O’Neill has done in-depth research into the CIA’s MKULTRA programs and says he only accidentally stumbled upon information about Jolly West and Jack Ruby. He doesn’t address other JFK assassination related issues. He didn’t begin his research looking for a connection to the Kennedy assassination.

According to the April 26, 1964 report, all of this was done with prior knowledge of the American Psychiatric Association, assistance of some qualified Texas assistants, and with results of the examination completely available to the court. Why the heck you think that he “stumbled upon” some dark secret is beyond me. The first thirty seconds of that sham video is as much as I could handle.

Are we going to have to assume that you cannot answer my questions?

How can you call it a sham video without having watched it?

Charles, in 1964 no one, except maybe high-ranking people at the CIA and the people wittingly involved with the research, knew the MKULTRA program existed. So it's reasonable to assume that few people would've thought it was strange for a psychiatrist with Jolly West's background to be treating Jack Ruby.


"MKUltra was so highly classified that when John McCone succeeded Dulles as CIA director late in 1961, he was not informed of its existence until 1963. Fewer than half a dozen agency brass were aware of it at any period during its 20-year history."

Fast forward to the 1970s. After the program was brought to light, researchers have gone back and looked into the relationships and patients of people like Jolly West and Sidney Gottlieb. It may be coincidental that West treated Jack Ruby but given his involvement with MKULTRA, it can't be ruled out that West experimented on Ruby (which may have contributed to his psychosis).

Was West asked to find a way to silence Ruby before he spoke to the Warren Commission? That's a question worthy of further investigation.

The whole idea of a conspiracy is based on connecting imaginary random dots.

As is the whole idea that Oswald did it.

I called the video a sham due to the apparent fallacy that West was “court appointed” as seen in the beginning graphics. And nothing you have written leads me to believe that the video has any worthwhile “revelations” that this guy has uncovered. What exactly is it about the video that you think is so important?
