It’s suspected that he may have been a Russian spy, operating when international tensions were high and the Cold War was just starting to heat up.

JFK’s missing brain: did the people protecting the grassy knoll shooter steal it?
No joke. Sometime after the autopsy of assassinated president John F. Kennedy, someone nicked his brain. And it’s been missing ever since.

5G and coronavirus — are the phone networks trying to kill us?
This month I was supposed to be covering the theft of JFK’s brain. Then coronavirus happened. You might’ve heard a little bit about this. The fact that the world has been locked down and normal life has come to an almost apocalyptic halt has, naturally, caused the conspiracy theories to flood in. So, you know, Read more

Princess Diana had a ‘box of secrets’. And someone murdered her for it.
Let’s assume the conspiracy theories are true. Diana, Princess of Wales, was murdered. A white Fiat Uno deliberately ran her Mercedes off the road. A strobe light was used to blind her driver, Henri Paul, who wasn’t drunk at all. Rather, his bloods were swapped with those of a dead drunk driver to make it Read more
