JFK's Assassination and the CIA's Psychic Cold War

On March 29, 1977, George DeMohrenschildt told a journalist that his close friendship with Lee Harvey Oswald was an assignment from the CIA's Dallas office. Congress sent an investigator to take a statement. When he arrived, DeMohrenschildt's family said he wasn't home. But he was. He was found dead in his bedroom from a shotgun wound that no one in the house reported hearing. The story doesn't start in 1977, and it doesn't start in Dallas. It starts in 1952, in a mansion in Maine, where nine people were chosen by ancient gods to change the world.

The Psychic Race

In 1948, the Cold War took a strange turn. Rumors out of Moscow claimed Soviet scientists were testing telepathy in labs. If minds could be weapons, American intelligence wanted one. The problem: no respectable scientist would touch the subject, and Congress would never publicly fund séances.

The man willing to bet his career was a 30-year-old doctor from Chicago named Andrija Puharich. While still a medical student at Northwestern, Puharich published a theory his colleagues wouldn't go near: he believed the human brain was a radio. Neurons didn't just fire—they transmitted. Anything that could transmit could also receive. If he was right, telepathy wasn't magic; it was biology.
