I edited together a “Travel Documentary” of the “JFK Truth Be Told” members meetup in Dallas in June 2026. Perhaps it is better to describe this as some home videos stitched together in Adobe Premiere.
It starts off with members Steve and Bill visiting Wesley Buell Fraziers old car at the “Ripley’s Believe it or Not” museum in San Antonio Texas. This is the car that Lee Harvey Oswald rode to work in on November 22, 1963.
After this,Steve and Bill visited General Edwin A. Walker’s grave in Center Point Texas. I didn’t go with them this time. I went there a few years ago:
11:16- we visited the University of Texas Tower in Austin. I lived in Austin almost 20 years, but didn’t know the place as well as Bill did, he knew where snipers bullet holes were around the tower.
14:35 Bill Brown gives the group a tour of the Tenth and Patton Officer Tippit death scene.
15:41 visiting the site of the infamous “Backyard photos” on Neeley Street.
16:08 Tour Guide Dan Evans took the group into the “Oswald Rooming House”
16:13 at the RUTH PAINE HOUSE Museum in Irving, Texas,
21:05 Dinner with Buell Wesley Frazier and Dave Perry.
I always try my best on ALL of the “On the Trail of Delusion” Episodes, but these are ones that came out best. They best display my skills in editing and Motion Graphics/ Animation content creation.
I was never a fan of hour long “talking head” talk shows, and always want to add video and graphics to turn these shows into documentaries instead of uninteresting chat fests.
Adobe Photoshop, Adobe After Effects, and Adobe Animate were used to create the motion graphics/animation, and the final editing in Adobe Premiere. I recently started using TOPAZ AI to turn the original 1280 by 720 footage into 3840 by 2160 (4K) video.
He was (IS!) a lifelong JFK buff who heard things in the infamous Dallas Police “Dictabelt” recordings that challenged the conclusions of the House Select Committee on Assassinations that there were sounds of a fourth shot.
He discussed his audio discovery and the stories of his interactions with many legendary figures on both sides of the Kennedy Conspiracy debate.
This is a (partially) edited video “souvenier album” of the trip took on the weekend of Election Day, November 2024 to the Historical sights in Washington D.C.
I hope I can find the time someday to make a shorter, tighter edited version of this.
Mostly shot with my iphone, but some of it was done with my Sony Camcorder.
Edited with Adobe Premiere, with some Adobe Photoshop and Adobe After Effects work.
1) My plane takes off, then I land in Washington D.C.
(Don’t ask how I took footage from the ground of a plane I was allegedly in.)
2) Bill and the other history buffs pick me up at the airport.
3). 13.07, the infamous “Exorcist Steps” right outside of downtown D.C.
4) 1.24 The “eternal flame” at President John F. Kennedy’s grave in Arlington National Cemetery right outside Washington DC.
5) 2:07 The visitors center right as one enters Arlington National Cemetery.
6) 11:15, The changing of the guard at the :Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.”
7) 19.11 Earl Warrens tombstone
8) 19:30 the National headquarters of the VFW. This was of interest to us because this is where most of the testimony of witnesses to the Warren Commission. Many books claim the Warren Commission hearings were held at the National Archives- but this place matches the photos in many historical photos from 1964.
9) 23:52. Our attempted visit to the Capitol Rotunda, interrupted by some kind of gasoline carrying troublemaker.
10) 26:07 We got to go in the next day.
11) 42:29 The Watergate Hotel. You can pay for a tour of the room that the “plumbers” ( burglars) stayed in as they prepped to break into the headquarters of Democratic National Committee.
12) 45:50 The John F Kennedy Arts Center. I will NEVER call it by that OTHER name.
13) 47:50 Exterior shots of the FBI building. As I video-ed them, I highly suspect they were video-ing me.
14) 56:11. Fords Theater, where President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated.
15) 1:14:27, the Lincoln Memorial and Washington monument at night.
16) 1:17:44 The National Archives.
17) 1:24 Mount Vernon, most of the group didn’t go to this. It was just Ed and me.
18) 1:35:40 The Washington DC Hilton Hotel where President Ronald Reagen was shot in the 1980’s.
19) 1:40 “Charlies Angels” joke shot.
20) 1:40:15 Ronald Reagen airport. Ironic, considering that Reagen fired the nations air traffic controllers for attempting unionize and strike.
21) 1:41:10 out the airplane window shots of me leaving.
The question of just how Lee Harvey Oswald got the job at the Texas School Book Depository just 5 weeks before President Kennedy’s motorcade drove right by has been a longstanding question for those studying the assassination.

There was a post responding to criticisms of Fred Litwins blog post of November 24, 2025.
this is my response to that response:
I think anyone who follows Judith Vary Baker could be considered a “cult” in that they are following a single leader- her. Although it seems to be a benign cult in that I don’t think Baker exerts any control over their lives. They may have bought her book and might follow her writing online, but she isn’t trying to control them in any other way- its not a high control group like Scientology or Nexium or the followers of some Charlie Manson/Teal Swan character. Does this “real JFK Jr.” person lead a cult? I’ve never heard of him before so I am going to assume he doesn’t have a cult following ( or am I wrong about that?) Hardcore conspiracy believer Dick Gregory described the critics of the Warren Report as “a kind of a cult” although its a cult he eagerly wanted to join.
I’m not sure the word “cult” is the right word to describe believers of a certain thing in regards to the Kennedy Assassination . At least not compared to actual high control groups like Scientology/Nexium etc.. Maybe the right word might be “camp” or “movement” or …… I dunno- somebody help me out on this one- whats the right word for this? Its overly simplistic to say that Conspiracy believers are all in one cult, while Lone Gunman believers are in a seperate rival/competing cult. There is NOT a single person or ideology at the center of these groups. Whats the difference between a religion and a cult? Comedian Joe Rogan joked that “in a cult, theres one guy who knows this is all made-up bulls–t, in a religion, that guys dead” Is judaism a cult? No. There are numerous different offshoots of Judaism: orthodox, reform, modern reformed, etc. Although I would argue that some of the extremely Orthodox Judaism meet most medical definitions of a cult in that the group controls where the members live, how they dress, what they can read, who they can marry, what they eat, etc.. Is Christianity a cult? No, but some Christian groups like Jehovahs Witness, extreme mormonism, the Catholic “Opus Dei” group (among others) definitely fit the definition of a cult. If you watch all the episodes of “On the Trail of Delusion” you will see that Fred Litwin found a long list of people who are on the Lone Gunman side BUT if you listen closely, have a disparity of opinions on specific matters. For example: In Episode Two we hear from Robert Wagner (author of the book, JFK Assassinated) who doesn’t think there was a second shooter, but he disagrees with the Warren Report in that he thinks there was a fourth show. (Most Lone Gunman types DON’T agree with him on that.) In Episode Six, we have Gus Russo, who thinks Lee Oswald acted alone, ( no second gunman) but he believes that Cuba might have provoked him to act. Episode 7, has Dave Perry, who has spent years dubunking many theories, but he still believes there might have been some kind of conspiracy.
On the Conspiracy side there are dozens, if not hundreds of seperate competing ( and completely contradictory) ideas about what happened. One shooter, two shooters, three shooters, a dozen shooters…. a shooter in the sewer drain, a half dozen different and contradictory shooters on the knoll, a shooter from the other side of the street, the limo driver shot JFK, a secret service agents rifle accidentally discharged, a shooter somehow right next to railroad workers on the overpass, a second shooter in three different windows on the 6th floor, a shooter on the 5th floor, a shooter on the seventh floor, a shooter on the roof etc etc etc the list is almost limitless. (Almost) every conspiracy book has the position that THEY are right and all the other conspiracy books are either wrong or lies. Whenever I go to “JFK Truth Be Told” meetups I often have to bite my tongue when someone says something I disagree with, but we all still (more or less) get along. There is no one all powerful group leader telling us what to think. Neither side has a uniformity of belief, and thus, in my mind, shouldn’t be called a high controlled cult.
So maybe the word “cult” is too extreme, and I think perhaps the word “camp” or “movement” might be a better word, However, using the word “cult” or “cults” to describe competing schools of thought coming up against each other isn’t exactly wrong either. I don’t think ONE (possibly) mis-chosen word in Fred Litwins essay/travel blog undermines his overall premise. That on November 22, 2025 ( in my words) the harbor of Dealey Plaza was clogged with competing armadas of boats full of conspiracy theorists and Fred had an amusing time navigating through them. It is HIS blog and in HIS opinion these groups look like cults.
