@fringequest There's a great chapter in George Hansen's The Trickster and the Paranormal that summarizes this as well! https://t.co/XgFvjoiw5s

There's a great chapter on the history of the Freep in Mike Davis and Jon Wiener's Set the Night on Fire. Would highly recommend both it and the rest of the book: https://t.co/95Qfn7lTD8

You don't begin to understand how deranged this site is until you tweet something that gets people talking about the Book of Enoch

So it should come as no surprise that Hanes jumped to James Earl Ray's defense when it was announced a white man had killed the Black leader. Hanes argued it was Black militants who killed King, echoing a standard racist canard of Black-on-Black violence. https://t.co/X9cYXMytXf https://t.co/tf49s6N1Vd

No real unifying thread here. I just found the Krassner accusation interesting in light of the SLA's own strange connections, which are documented in books like Brad Schreiber's recent Revolution's End. https://t.co/xHnPFvePOm

@ElBartoArmy @postcyborg But I'd highly recommend books like JFK and The Unspeakable by James Douglass and Deep Politics and the Death of JFK by Peter Dale Scott

@rmnary94 Liddy's and Haldeman's books. Anthony Summers's Arrogance of Power, although it's more of a Nixon biograpy. Carl Oglesby's Clandestine America has a good chapter on it, too.

While it may seem like these letters indicate Pro Deo was a recent development, Morlion had been running the group since the 1930s. It had OSS backing during WWII, and Morlion was a close associate of Wild Bill Donovan. From Matthew Avery Sutton's "Double Crossed": https://t.co/9G2toM7sbk

Just learned of the passing of Richard Belzer. While he was probably best known for his work as an actor and comedian, and as the one man who put Hulk Hogan down for the count, he was also a conspiracy head par excellence. Check out his book Hit List. RIP https://t.co/MMCYkz2KcE
