JFK and the price of a free media highlighted in ‘The Orphan Conspiracies’

Few journalists ever seriously challenge the Establishment. Why? Because it’s usually not in the best interests of their employers – the select few media barons who run mainstream media these days.

“No President should fear public scrutiny of his program. For from that scrutiny comes understanding.” That’s a comment President John F. Kennedy made in a speech to the American Newspaper Publishers Assn. on April 27, 1961.

We include highlights of that speech in a chapter titled ‘The price of a free media’ in our contentious book ‘The Orphan Conspiracies’.

JFK’s speech continues:

“No President should fear public scrutiny of his program. For from that scrutiny comes understanding; and from that understanding comes support or opposition. And both are necessary. I am not asking your newspapers to support the Administration, but I am asking your help in the tremendous task of informing and alerting the American people. For I have complete confidence in the response and dedication of our citizens whenever they are fully informed. I not only could not stifle controversy among your readers–I welcome it. This Administration intends to be candid about its errors; for as a wise man once said: “An error does not become a mistake until you refuse to correct it.” We intend to accept full responsibility for our errors; and we expect you to point them out when we miss them.”

We resonate with Kennedy’s comments. He was a true champion of both free speech and freedom of the press – unlike other US presidents before and especially since.

In ‘The Orphan Conspiracies’ we remind readers that if media in all its forms is compromised then frankly, we’re screwed! You don’t need to be a former journalist to realize that manipulating the media is akin to poisoning a nation’s water supply; it affects all of our lives in unimaginable ways.

Journalists are the barometer of a nation’s freedom of speech. If they are threatened, gagged or otherwise silenced then who is going to ask the tough questions and keep the authorities honest?

There’s commonly held belief that here in the West we have a free press. However, one only needs to consider the standard of reporting of recent world events including the Covid-19 pandemic to know that ain’t remotely the case.

So, what’s the truth? Do we really have a free press or are our journos being dictated to and told what they can and can’t report on? Are certain topics suppressed from the public’s consciousness by those who own or greatly influence the media? Are there any free-thinking, free-speaking journos left – alive and not retired that is?

We can only repeat: Few journalists ever seriously challenge the Establishment.

The upshot of this is, while their turn of phrase may be eloquent, most journos just report on issues their masters are happy to allow to be aired publicly. This makes them little more than parrots for the Establishment. Unfortunately, few realize that.

The tragedy is major issues remain hidden and the public are continually denied access to the truth. Worse, free-speaking individuals are labeled conspiracy theorists and purveyors of misinformation. Their accusers should remember that, since 2020 at least, the difference between conspiracy theory and conspiracy fact has shrunk to around six months.

What’s all the fuss about Greenland? This key question is addressed in ‘The Orphan Conspiracies’

It was over a decade ago when we, the Morcans, began researching the many unusual and unexplained events that have occurred in Greenland throughout its colorful history. Events that have fueled many a conspiracy theory.

The results of our research are included in a chapter titled ‘Greenland aka Conspiracyland’ in our book The Orphan Conspiracies. It’s interesting that at least one of the conspiracy theories (Thulegate) is now rightly referred to as conspiracy fact.

Thulegate would have to be one of Greenland’s most intriguing conspiracy theories, which is appropriate because it’s centered on Thule Air Base (now Pituffik Space Base) that just happens to be the US Air Force’s northernmost base located as it is above the Arctic Circle in Greenland’s northwest.

Then home to the 21st Space Wing’s space surveillance and missile warning sensors, the base has attracted its share of controversy – as has Thule itself with conspiracy theories dating back to ancient times.

The location’s name itself is shrouded in mystery. Various interpretations of Thule have confused it with other northern destinations including Iceland and Scandinavia, and in medieval times Thule was associated with distant places beyond the known world. So, it’s ripe for conspiracy theories, mired as it is in ancient mythology.

Thulegate relates to the documented January 1968 crash of an American B-52 nuclear bomber on the ice sheet near the Thule Air Base. Apparently, the bomber was carrying four nuclear warheads, which the Pentagon maintained were destroyed in the crash. However, a Daily Mail report (updated on November 11, 2008 in its Mail Online site) debunks this, confirming what conspiracy theorists had speculated all along – that one or more of the warheads hadn’t been destroyed.

The report stated, “…the carrying of nuclear weapons over Danish territory was kept secret, according to the BBC investigation…One of the missions went wrong and a bomber crashed into the ice a few miles from the air base.

“A declassified US government video, obtained by the BBC, documents the clear-up and gives some idea of the scale of the operation.”

Political science academic Scott Sagan postulated that “If the aircraft had crashed into Thule Air Base, the missile early warning system and the redundant warning aircraft would have been knocked out simultaneously, potentially leading NORAD to conclude incorrectly that a nuclear attack had started.”

Other Greenland conspiracy theories covered in this book include: Project Iceworm, the Thule Society, Korean War vets, alien artifacts and The Hollow Theory.

Vietnam War debacle another false flag that features in ‘The Orphan Conspiracies’

In a chapter titled ‘False Flag operations’ in our book The Orphan Conspiracies, readers’ attention is drawn to the false flag that began the Vietnam War in a chapter titled ‘False Flag operations’.

An excerpt from the above-mentioned chapter follows:

On August 4, 1964, President Lyndon Johnson alerted his fellow Americans on national television that North Vietnam had attacked the American destroyer USS Maddox (pictured below) in the Gulf of Tonkin.

Not long after, Congress passed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, which gave Johnson the green light to begin military operations against North Vietnam. American troops were soon stationed in Vietnam and neighboring countries, and the war that would dominate an era began.

However, President Johnson and his Secretary of Defense, Robert McNamara, successfully hoodwinked the American people because North Vietnam never initiated a sea battle with the USS Maddox as the Pentagon had claimed, and the so-called unequivocal evidence of a second attack by the North Vietnamese is now commonly acknowledged as being a false report.

A National Security Agency (NSA) report on the Gulf of Tonkin Incident, declassified in 2005, concluded that USS Maddox had engaged the North Vietnamese Navy on August 2, 1964, but (and this is a big but) “The Maddox fired three rounds to warn off the communist boats. This initial action was never reported by the Johnson administration, which insisted that the Vietnamese boats fired first.”

Regarding the all-important second attack on August 4 – which effectively caused the Vietnam War – the NSA report concluded there were no North Vietnamese Naval vessels present during the entire incident: “It is not simply that there is a different story as to what happened; it is that no attack happened that night.”

If an organization as biased as the NSA says no attack ever happened then it seems very safe to say the Gulf of Tonkin Incident was nothing but a phantom attack on the US Military. It was carefully crafted propaganda devised to manufacture consent for all-out war.

In this instance that propaganda ended up costing approximately 60,000 American lives and three million Vietnamese lives.

Book highlights eerie echoes of Operation Northwoods on 9/11

Conspiracy theorists insist 9/11 was an inside job – the suggestion being it was a US Government ploy to justify the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq. Too much of a stretch? Consider Operation Northwoods…

In 1962, the US Government’s Department of Defense and Joint Chiefs of Staff proposed carrying out acts of terrorism on American soil to justify military intervention in Cuba. They called it Operation Northwoods.

Hard to swallow? For sure, but it’s on the record. Numerous military and intelligence documents recording these disturbing false flag proposals have since been declassified.

In the interests of full disclosure, you are reading an excerpt from a chapter titled ‘False Flag operations’ in our book The Orphan Conspiracies.

Excerpt continues:

Operation Northwoods remained a secret for 35 years. The sinister proposal first came to the public’s attention in November 1997 when The John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Review Board declassified various top secret military records, which included the Northwoods documents. The following year, the National Security Archive published further revealing information on Northwoods.

A (since declassified) ‘Top Secret’ memo dated March 13, 1962, addressed to the Secretary of Defense and signed by then-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff makes for interesting reading. Its subject line reads: Justification for US Military Intervention in Cuba.

Item No. 1 on that memo reads: “The Joint Chiefs of Staff have considered the attached Memorandum for the Chief of Operations, Cuba Project, which responds to a request of that office for brief but precise description of pretexts which would provide justification for US military intervention in Cuba.”

Operation Northwoods’ plans included the sinking of US war ships, shooting down hijacked passenger planes, killing innocent American citizens, letting off bombs and orchestrating other violent terrorist acts in major cities including Washington DC and Miami.

Every event would be blamed on Fidel Castro and the Cuban regime. The Joint Chiefs of Staff’s logic was that these events would help gain enough support from the American public and the world at large for a US military invasion of Cuba.

Fortunately, President Kennedy immediately rejected the Northwoods proposal and fired one of its main proponents, Lyman Lemnitzer, who was then Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

The following year, Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas, while Lemnitzer was appointed Supreme Allied Commander of NATO. Go figure!

Operation Northwoods is one of several proven False Flag schemes revealed in our book and one of numerous so-called conspiracy theories since revealed as conspiracy fact.

For the skeptics, here’s the (since declassified) ‘Top Secret’ memo relating to Operation Northwoods dated March 13, 1962, addressed to the Secretary of Defense and signed by then-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.


Does Northwoods have echoes of 9/11? You decide.

Full chapter devoted to Yamashita’s Gold in our first non-fiction book

Yamashita’s Gold, alleged stolen treasure squirreled away by the Japanese during their occupation of the Philippines in WW2, was named after General Tomoyuki Yamashita. We devote a chapter to this intriguing rumor in our book The Orphan Conspiracies.

Yamashita’s Gold… Fact or fiction?

The war loot, also known as Yamashita’s Treasure, is said to have been hidden in caves and underground complexes throughout the islands of the Philippines.

Existence of these treasures remain unconfirmed by the Japanese, Filipino and all other authorities in Asia and the West to this very day. However, most international investigators – Asian investigators included – believe Yamashita’s Gold exists, or existed, at least to some degree. Their belief is supported by a Hawaii Supreme Court finding in 1998 and a subsequent US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal ruling, and we reveal those legal bombshells late in the chapter.

Between Japanese army records, international court hearings, eyewitness accounts and treasure finds throughout the Philippines over the decades following WW2, there seems to be more than enough substance to build a case for the existence of Yamashita’s Gold.

Book highlights unsavory US connection with eugenics

Although eugenics flourished in Nazi Germany, the ideal of a blond-haired, blue-eyed master race wasn’t Adolf Hitler’s. In researching one of our books, we discovered that American eugenics policies inspired eugenics programs in Nazi Germany. If that’s not disturbing enough, during the early days of the Third Reich, American eugenicists publicly praised Hitler’s plans to introduce and enforce sterilization of “unsuitable people” and other such eugenics policies!


Auschwitz a symbol of Hitler’s eugenics program.

In Mein Kampf, Hitler credited America with helping formulate his ideas on eugenics, and he admitted he’d studied the laws of US states to familiarize himself with selective reproduction and other eugenics issues.

Funding also flowed from the US to Nazi Germany for eugenics programs. For example, The Rockefeller Foundation financed numerous German eugenics experiments, including one that Josef Mengele worked on before he carried out his notorious human experimentations in Auschwitz.

In America, eugenics often targeted minority ethnicities. Early last century, 31 US states legalized sterilization of those deemed genetically inferior, especially psychiatric patients. And Nobel-prize winning electronics pioneer, eugenics advocate and notorious racist, Dr. William Shockley, proposed to pay black persons with IQ’s lower than 100 a cash incentive of $1000 to have themselves sterilized.

We devote a chapter to the unsavory topic of eugenics in our book The Orphan Conspiracies. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00J4MPFT6/
