- **Published:** 2025-01-16

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1730-pam-bondage/chapter/jfk-assassination-theories-and-the-mac-wallace-tape.md

Alex Jones recently aired a purportedly cleaned-up audio tape of Billy Saul Estes discussing Lyndon B. Johnson's alleged role in the JFK assassination. The tape suggests that LBJ ordered hitman Mac Wallace to kill the president. Forensic analysis of the audio suggests it may be a sophisticated AI-generated fake or a "CIA op" designed to distract from the agency's own potential involvement as Trump prepares to release classified JFK files.

### Neuro-Linguistic Programming in Anti-Racism Seminars

- **Episode:** [1261: Infodemic](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1261-infodemic.md)
- **Published:** 2020-07-19

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1261-infodemic/chapter/neuro-linguistic-programming-in-anti-racism-seminars.md

Robin DiAngelo's seminar techniques are compared to 1960s sensitivity training and "Est" brainwashing schemes. By using specific linguistic shifts—such as using the word "race" as an action—she elicits emotional responses from participants. The goal of these "subversive seminars" is to convince individuals that they are perpetually connected to racism, regardless of their personal character or actions.

Cafe Gratitude, a chain of small restaurants in the Bay Area, is criticized for requiring employees to attend Landmark Forum seminars, a successor to Erhard Seminars Training (EST). Reviews describe an unsettling atmosphere where servers ask customers "questions of the day" and use affirmations for menu items. The business practices are compared to corporate indoctrination or cult-like behavior.
