One of these gems is a YouTube video (as above, so below) of the […]

The Raymond Broshears Files Part 00006: A FOIA Treasure Trove

Welcome to the final installment of our Rev. Raymond Broshears extravaganza. As noted in Part 00001 of this seemingly never-ending series, Broshears had been arrested (allegedly) in 1965 for threatening the life of President Lyndon Baines Johnson. According to Bernard Fensterwald’s Assassination of JFK by Coincidence or Conspiracy?, Broshears “made the threat on Johnson’s life […]

The Raymond Broshears Files Part 00005: The Gay Crusader

In 1972, Rev. Raymond Broshears founded the San Francisco branch of the Gay Activists Alliance and that same year helped organize the city’s first Gay Pride parade. An equal opportunity troublemaker, Broshears eventually pissed off nearly everyone who entered his orbit regardless of race, religion, or sexual orientation. Due to a disagreement with fellow Gay […]

The Raymond Broshears Files Part 00004: The Multiple Wave Oscillator Debacle

In March 1970, Discordian Society member Stan “Doc” Jamison (aka Coman Ra—Lt. Colonel, Commanding 1st Intergalactic Confederacy Advance Detail—Planet Shan) was exchanging information with Rev. Raymond Broshears regarding a contraption called the “Multiple Wave Oscillator.” How Doc Jamison became acquainted with Rev. Broshears one can only guess, although it was probably due to their mutual […]

The Raymond Broshears Files Part 00003: Flying Saucer Attack!

Our last entry recounted Rev. Broshears’ association with Jim Garrison’s investigation, and what Garrison called “Odd Sects” (not to be confused with “odd sex”!) that included a cast of characters scattered not only across JFK assassination lore, but also the funky field of ufology. Ufology—for those not in the know—is the study of flying saucers, […]

The Raymond Broshears Files Part 00002: Odd Sects and Wandering Bishops

Jim Garrison not only implicated the military industrial complex, homicidal homosexuals, and anti-Castro Cubans in the plot to assassinate JFK, but he also fingered fringe religions—or “Odd Sects,” as he fancied calling them—in his everything-in-the-kitchen-sink conspiratorial cosmology. Goddess only knows how Garrison first saddled up on this “Odd Sects” hobby horse, but there’s a good […]

Addendum to “The Raymond Broshears Files Part 00001”

Tom Jackson over at RAWIllumination.net recently posted “More wild JFK probe information from Adam Gorightly” which further fleshed out my Historia Discordia offering “The Raymond Broshears Files Part 1,” and, in specific, Broshears association with Rev. Billy James Hargis, who during the 60s and early-70s operated a ministry called the Christian Crusade. Rev. Broshears—as I […]

The Raymond Broshears Files Part 00001: Welcome to the Garrison Investigation Funhouse

For some time now I’d been planning a multi-part series on Reverend Raymond Broshears, one of more colorful characters (among a clown car of colorful characters) who careened headfirst into Kerry Thornley, and the Garrison investigation. A deep dive into Rev. Broshears branches off in a number of directions, including the

Fred Crisman and the Servants of Awareness

Trigger Warning: The following article is at least two degrees removed from Discordianism… but it is confusing as hell, so there’s that. For those who’ve dipped their toes into conspiratorial lore, Fred Crisman turns up all over the place; first with the Maury Island UFO incident, and then later his alleged role in the JFK […]
