In it Dr. Mantik argues that President Kennedy’s  assassination was part of a meticulous orchestrated operation that reached deep into the military-industrial complex. He offers shocking proof that evidence of what went down in Dallas in November 1963 was not only buried, but replaced. From the x-ray evidence of the three bullets that struck President Kennedy’s head; (two from the front and one from behind) to National Security Advisor McGeorge Bundy’s real-time narrative control; the fictitious third bullet shell;  the concealed movie shot by the CIA from the north pergola of Dealey Plaza; to the fabricated Oswald timeline -- Dr. Mantik provides evidence that proves that a coverup as orchestrated as the crime. Heroes Behind HeadlinesExecutive Producer Ralph PezzulloProduced & Engineered by Mike DawsonMusic provided by ExtremeMusic.com

Author Dr. Charles Cornish-Dale lays out the extraordinary decline of testosterone levels in men globally: A 50% drop over the last forty years! In his book, "The Last Men: Liberalism and the Death of Masculinity." lays out the various causes of this precipitous drop as well as potential ways we can offset what he views as a biological crisis of paramount importance for all parents, and one that potentially threatens the future of our species.Even while political commentators conflate the hormone testosterone and their particular view of 'toxic masculinity,' their voices are often a distraction from our scientific knowledge of the real role of this essential bit of human chemistry. The impact to male health, happiness, and fertility, sits as a universal issue affecting not just men but also women who are likewise affected.Heroes Behind HeadlinesExecutive Producer Ralph PezzulloProduced & Engineered by Mike DawsonMusic provided by ExtremeMusic.com

Our guest today is author and retired Navy radar specialist John F. Calder. His book Fire for Effect chronicles his one-year tour of duty during the critical early days of the Vietnam War aboard two US. destroyers the USS McDermott the USS Stoddard ­– whose main mission was to provide gunfire on shore in support of the 3rd U.S. Marine Division – deployed to Da Nang. Calder’s account centers on the events of early August 1964, when North Vietnamese torpedo boats allegedly attacked American destroyers in international waters. The USS Stoddard played a direct role in the military response that followed these incidents, firing some of the first American shots in what would become a lengthy and controversial conflict. Calder recounts the sequence of events with precision, explaining the tactical decisions made by commanders and the operational realities faced by sailors in a tense and uncertain situation. Most importantly, he provides firsthand evidence to prove how the pivotal Gulf of Tonkin incident, that triggered the famed 1964 congressional resolution that authorized the U.S. to take military action in Vietnam, could not have happened as described by authorities at the time. Heroes Behind HeadlinesExecutive Producer Ralph PezzulloProduced & Engineered by Mike DawsonMusic provided by ExtremeMusic.com

On Tuesday afternoon, July 20, 1993, Vincent W. Foster, President Bill Clinton’s deputy White House Counsel and close friend of the Clinton’s was found dead in a seclude area of Fort Marcy Park, ten miles from the White House. A bullet had entered the right side of his neck below the jaw line and entered his brain. The national media reported the cause of death a suicide and has steadfastly stuck to that narrative ever since. But as attorney John H. Clarke reports, there is overwhelming evidence -- including eyewitness testimony -- to support the conclusion that something much more sinister was afoot. John Clarke is with us today to talk about that evidence; the part then-prosecutor Brett Kavanaugh played in the cover-up of a potential murder; and how the real story of what happened to Vince Forster might have changed the course of history. Heroes Behind HeadlinesExecutive Producer Ralph PezzulloProduced & Engineered by Mike DawsonMusic provided by ExtremeMusic.com
