#438: The Connected Murders of JFK, RFK, and Dorothy Kilgallen with Mark Shaw

Author and former criminal defense attorney Mark Shaw joins Patrick Coffin to discuss his explosive work new book Abuse of Power. Think the Charlie Kirk narrative is suspect? This is not the government's first rodeo. Central to the conversation is Dorothy Kilgallen, the famous journalist (and top panelist on the game show phenomenon What's My Line? who aggressively investigated the JFK assassination. Her biographer Shaw explains how "abusive power" operates through intimidation, disinformation, media control, and mysterious deaths. Kilgallen was the only reporter to interview Jack Ruby privately—and believed the official narrative was false. She publicly stated she would break the JFK story wide open—then was found dead under highly suspicious circumstances. Shaw draws chilling connections between JFK's assassination, the later murder of Robert F. Kennedy Sr., Kilgallen's death, and why Sirhan Sirhan deserves a new trial. All three cases involve: conflicting autopsy evidence; missing documents; compromised investigations; and media suppression Shaw argues these deaths reveal a pattern, not coincidence—a system protecting power at any cost. The discussion raises uncomfortable questions about: who controls historical narratives why certain truths are buried and how fear keeps journalists silent A sobering reminder that truth is temporarily dangerous—when it threatens entrenched power.
