Anyone else just watch this horseshit?
They spent an entire hour documenting the story of Judyth Vary Baker, who should have changed her name to Deus Ex Machina.
She was Oswald’s lover. She knew Ferrie, Bannister, Ruby, Shaw. She was working on a government plot to kill Castro by creating cancer strains in a duplex apartment.
I haven’t been this disgusted with the The History Channel since they hired David Icke as a consulting expert on secret societies.
More of this crank’s story is here:

Hey, _I_ live in a duplex apartment! Should I see an oncologist?

I read that link just last month. Sadly, I’m not surprised that the History Channel would devote so much time for her nonsense. Even among conspiracy theorists, she’s lives out beyond where the buses don’t run. She makes Oliver Stone look like a model of reasoned discourse.

I saw that earlier, and wondered what the hell this had to do with anything.

Reminds me of that documentary on Nefertiti they did based on some nut’s wig research. Or maybe that was Discovery.
