ETs Among Us 7: UFOs, CIA & the Assassination of JFK

May 13, 2023

Peabody Award winning journalist Linda Moulton Howe, JFK experts Robert Morningstar and Jim Marrs, and psychic CEO Sebastien Martin, narrate this shocking exposé of the unknown hidden motivations for the assassination of President John F Kennedy. Writing in a letter his desire to share the government's most highly classified secret with the American people, Kennedy inadvertently signed his own death warrant. Ten days later JFK was assassinated. Partially burnt documents, rescued from the fireplace of deceased counterIntelligence chief James Jesus Angleton, provide irrefutable proof of the secret orders to murder JFK. The most shocking and pervasive government cover-up in history has persisted for almost 6 more decades, despite JFK's thwarted attempt to expose the Truth. Only in 2019 did the Pentagon finally begin, bit by bit, to let the public in on their shocking cosmic secret.
