On the Trail of Delusion, YouTube talk show, Episode ONE.
This is the first episode of a new YouTube talk show about the John F. Kennedy assassination, “On The Trail of Delusion.”
It was created by JFK assassination researcher and book/blog author Fred Litwin.
He has (so far) written 3 books on the John F. Kennedy assassination:
“I was a Teenage JFK Assassination Conspiracy Freak“
“On the Trail of Delusion” and
“Oliver Stone’s Film-Flam: The Demagogue of Dealey Plaza . “
and countless blog posts derived from either his past books or his upcoming books.
“On the Trail of Delusion” is mostly about the Jim Garrison / Clay Shaw case. It consists mainly of copies of the actual memos Garrison wrote about the case. The title is a spoof/reference to Jim Garrison’s memoir “On the Trail of the Assassins” ( which was the basis for Oliver Stones movie “JFK.”)
In Garrisons book, and the subsequent Stone movie, he presents the “Not SO crazy” or semi-believable theory that Kennedy was shot by anti Castro militiamen affiliated with the CIA. I am not saying I believe that, but its a lot more believable that the “gay thrill killing” or space alien plots that the real Garrison told his staff about.
I don’t think this show is going to be just about the Jim Garrison case, or even mainly about that. But I agree that the title works to describe the whole world of conspiracy thinking, not just the Garrison affair.
I did not produce this. Producer Fred Litwin arranged and recorded the video call between himself and the Professor. He sent me the video via google drive, made some basic edits and added a motion graphic opening and closing.
I started to edit the whole video call the same way I would have edited any other interview or corporate video…. cutting out every pause, every “ummm” and “uhhhh” but it took me 2 days to finish just the first 15 minutes. I’m not going to be able to do that on future episodes.
I added a lot of “B Roll” shots of the NARA archives items being discussed. The carcano rifle, the bullet etc. I also cut out an awkward flub when they were preparing to show the slides but couldn’t find the right one. It now just cuts right to the first slide.
The opening was created by me with a combination of downloaded youtube footage, photoshop graphics, some flash animation, and authored all the elements in Adobe After Effects.
