Prof. John Newman and Prof. Danny Sheehan Credited During Rep. Luna Interview | Danny Jones 10/7/25

Prof. John Newman and Prof. Danny Sheehan Credited During Rep. Luna Interview - Danny Jones Summary:

- 0:01-0:48 - Discussion begins on JFK documents still being gathered from presidential library and uploaded to archives, but "how many people are going to go through that?" - done for "historical significance and transparency" but "not a hot trending topic anymore"

- 0:48-1:41 - Danny Jones asks about Professor John Newman (University of Washington DC) who all JFK experts cite as "the top guy" - other JFK authors "base their books on previous books" rather than going to source documents, but "they all base their books on this guy's work"; Newman has "schizophrenically drawn out the map of everything" and "read every document forwards and backwards"

- 1:41-2:06 - Luna's team works with Jeff Morley who is "like a Bernie Sanders rep Democrat" making JFK investigation "truly bipartisan but they won't tell you that"; mentions Oliver Stone's film where Newman was "super adviser"
2:06-2:42 - "One of the biggest smoking guns" Newman explained: Lee Harvey Oswald (two-time Soviet defector) was on parade route November 22, 1963 despite having "highest level of FBI flash stops on his file" plus active CIA and FBI files observing him - "they lied to Congress" about monitoring him

- 2:42-3:25 - CIA and FBI were "reading his mail" and "tracking him through New Orleans, Dallas, Mexico, Mexico City"; Newman obtained "all of the cables going between CIA desk in Langley" and "CIA desk in Mexico City" plus "all the people who signed off on them"

- 3:25-4:25 - Jane Roman (CIA counterintelligence liaison, alive 10 years ago) signed multiple files showing FBI/CIA monitoring Oswald through New Orleans, Dallas, New Mexico; then signed file one week before assassination claiming "no contact or no records of Lee Harvey Oswald since January of '62" (when he was still in Soviet Union); when confronted in interview, she "stopped and grinned" saying "obviously this is evidence of something about Lee Harvey Oswald that they wanted to keep very close to the vest"

- 4:25-5:35 - Luna met with Russian ambassador and team - when Oswald went to Minsk, Russians "had him under observation, did full psychological profile and thought he was a freaking kook"; Russian government was "very friendly with Kennedy"; 1990s Congressional investigation tried getting these documents but Russians refused; Luna's delegation was "first since the 90s to meet with Russian government"

- 5:35-6:03 - Russians agreed to release KGB findings publicly; they brought documents to Kennedy's funeral saying "this is who we think actually did it" because "they had these people under surveillance" - "we never got those files, I think the CIA destroyed them"; Russian KGB profile concluded Oswald "was not a good shot" - famous story of him under surveillance in Minsk trying to hunt to feed family but "couldn't shoot for shit"

- 6:03-6:37 - Oswald showed up to Russian embassy in Mexico City with pistol and "head of KGB was like 'you're crazy'" - they thought he was "5150 nut job"; concludes "he was a patsy"; reads John Newman text about Jane Roman signing October 10, 1963 CIA cable falsely stating latest info on Oswald dated May 1962, her reply: "I'm signing off on something I know isn't true... indicative of keen interest in Oswald held very closely on need-to-know basis"

- 6:37-7:56 - New finding released Monday on William Harvey's travel log - Harvey ran CIA's "ZR-rifle" assassination program; "defied Kennedy during Cuban Missile Crisis fall of '62," transferred to Rome June 1963, but "within 2 months received authorization to covertly travel back into United States"; CIA told Church Committee in 1975 Harvey didn't use alias "William Walker" after June 1963 - "now know is completely false"; FAA supported Harvey's secret travel in late 1963 using fake name while "running assassination program and just so happened to be here when JFK was assassinated"

- 8:03-8:18 - When Luna started task force, they said posting about "multiple shooters" was "pushing conspiracy theories" - "I was right... we're interested in facts and we can let the American people draw their own conclusions"

- 8:27-9:10 - CIA Director Radcliffe has perspective: "I'm the new director, whatever sins were committed of past agencies I'm not going to take responsibility for and I'll let American people know the truth"; previous directors even with presidential authorization "did not release the files" but now "Tulsi DNI, Radcliffe at CIA, Patel at FBI" can "push for authorized release... not undermine president"

- 9:10-9:26 - Documents came out in Kennedy release that "Biden had also tried to release and National Archives refused to release them"; MLK and RFK files also released but "haven't had chance to fully go through this stuff yet"

- 9:29-10:44 - Danny Jones asks about Danny Sheehan (Harvard lawyer) - worked on Pentagon Papers, Watergate, Karen Silkwood case, Iran-Contra (deposed everyone), UAPs; described as "galaxy brain on whole UFO topic and JFK topic"; "he was around deposing all these people during Cold War, had firsthand knowledge of all people peripheral to Kennedy assassination"

- 10:44-11:14 - Comparison to George Knapp who smuggled Soviet files on "Thread 3" UAP program from Soviet Russia - "ripped off top paper and stuck them in my bag"; Luna jokes "you probably deserve a star at Langley for that"

- 11:14-12:24 - Sheehan explained anti-Castro Cubans working for CIA "tied into mob"; after Bay of Pigs when Kennedy didn't send air support, "Cubans despised him"; CIA training "triangular hit teams" in Miami to assassinate Castro; Cuban dissident went to Cuba twice to kill Castro, failed; Sheehan: "they basically used these same Cuban hit teams to assassinate the president... I have evidence these Cubans were there on the route in 1963"

- 12:24-12:40 - Jones mentions interviewing 95-year-old ex-CIA anti-Castro Cuban Felix Rodriguez next day; Sheehan responds: "Oh, he was on that team" - Jones "almost fainted"

- 12:40-13:00 - Jones went to Rodriguez's Miami museum with "Cuban armed commandos everywhere"; one guy had "office with picture of Kennedy and strike through his face"; concludes "a lot of people sought to benefit from his elimination" but must be "respectful" of Kennedy family while American people "deserve to know if there was coup against American people... by intelligence agency"

- 13:00-13:44 - John Newman's overall theory: "it was a military coup" by Joint Chiefs of Staff who "wanted all-out nuclear war with China and Russia"; Luna adds from Russian documentation: "certain actors within CIA did not like that Kennedy was so openly friendly with Russian government, viewed him as communist sympathizer"; Kennedy "did not have his cabinet with supporters and his own vice president... seriously undermining his efforts"

- 13:44-14:18 - Kennedy working on "joint mission with Russian government and American astronauts to the moon" - "very friendly with Russian government, back channeling communications despite what CIA was trying to push"; CIA "did want war" and "a day after Kennedy was assassinated, we signed ourselves up for Vietnam"

- 14:18-15:14 - EXCOMM meetings where Joint Chiefs Lemnitzer and Maxwell Taylor had "crazy plan" because US had most nukes while Soviet Union had least - "thought we could get away with just nuking half the planet"; Kennedy back-channeling with Russian president to stop this; Jones clarifies: not "CIA killed him" but "certain elements of CIA involved in cover up"; Luna agrees: "definitely certain factions involved in cover up... can't blanket label organization" but recommends checking CIA's "readingroom.gov website" for "very wild reads on a Friday night"
