In this bonus episode, Matt sits down with psychologist and researcher, Jeff Kaye, author of the Substack Hidden Histories, to unpack his recent piece on a corner of the JFK story almost nobody talks about: the Warren Commission's CIA psychiatrists.

The Commission quietly hired a part time psychiatric consultant named Dr. Winfred Overholser to advise on Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby. On paper, Overholser was just the recently retired chief of D.C.'s St. Elizabeth's Hospital. Off paper, he chaired the OSS Truth Drug panel in WWII, supplied the "brainwashing" cover story that buried 25 U.S. officers' confessions to germ warfare in Korea, and ran a hospital with a formal CIA agreement that eventually let Agency staff (not doctors) commit people involuntarily to protect "sources and methods."

Jeff traces Overholser, his successor Dr. Dale Cameron, and a third Commission consultant, Dr. Bryant Wedge, back into the same MK Ultra and Project Artichoke world that produced Sidney Gottlieb and Dr. Louis Jolyon "Jolly" West, the CIA cleared psychiatrist who turned up in Jack Ruby's jail cell right before Ruby's so called psychotic break.
