New Bonus Episode is out today with
@jeff_kaye. I sits down with psychologist, Jeff Kaye (Hidden Histories on Substack), to unpack a corner of the JFK story almost nobody talks about: the Warren Commission quietly hired Dr. Winfred Overholser, the recently retired chief of D.C.'s St. Elizabeth's Hospital, to advise on Oswald and Ruby. On paper he was just a respected psychiatrist. Off paper Olverholser chaired the OSS Truth Drug panel, supplied the "brainwashing" cover story that buried U.S. officers' Korean War germ warfare confessions, and ran a hospital with a formal CIA agreement that let Agency staff commit people involuntarily to protect sources and methods.
Jeff traces Overholser, his successor Dr. Dale Cameron, and Commission consultant Dr. Bryant Wedge back to the same MK Ultra world that produced Sidney Gottlieb and Jolly West, the CIA cleared psychiatrist who showed up in Jack Ruby's jail cell right before Ruby's "psychotic break." Small world.
