In the third part of this series featuring Judyth Vary Baker on the Truth & Justice League Podcast, this episode delves into the intricacies of artificial intelligence and brings the realities of our future into the story. When the latest technologies are taken under governmental control, and the government is experimenting in their ability to persuade human nature and capitalize on surveillance and the collection of data, how do we protect ourselves and each other? Judyth’s history has been shaped by the subversive power of government entities. She and Mark go into detail on the reach and scope of DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency that is the center for computing, engineering, technical and scientific programs the U.S. uses for war. Judyth credits her fearlessness to experiments in spirituality, creating art, listening to music, and searching for what it really means to be human in the age of technology and AI. Music, art, poetry, religion, spirituality are all pathways humans can interact with another frequency, another realm and make you want to stay alive.---------Born in 1943, Judyth Vary Baker is an American artist, writer, poet, witness, cancer researcher and CEO & Founder of JFK Conferences, LLC.

She was silent for 35 years following Oswald’s death, and now continues to gain support from researchers that meet her and corroborate her story as more facts of JFK’s assassination have been released to the public. She worked with Dr. Alton Ochsner, a major figure in early cancer research, and continues her crusade today after being pushed out of the medical community in the 1960s, when funding shifted from curing cancer to treating it.
In the second part of this series featuring Judyth Vary Baker on the Truth & Justice League Podcast, this episode dives deeper into the story of how the government planned to use Judyth’s scientific discoveries as bioweaponry during the Cold War. This is a true story of sex, seduction, persuasion and failed escape among major players in the United States CIA like David Phillips and Winston Scott, Mexico City, the USSR, and Fidel Castro in Cuba. Baker has been labeled a conspiracy theorist, a term created by the CIA to brand people as suspicious and crazy and distract people from the real truth. Find out what really happened to Judyth’s lover Lee Harvey Oswald as he was made to look like a supporter of Fidel Castro and transferred from post to post within the CIA and FBI. She and Lee were given new names and new passports, but never made it out of the country together. ----------

We are being poisoned by chemical companies who are polluting the air and water, while also killing their own workers and residential neighbors. And it’s getting worse. In this episode of the Truth & Justice League podcast, Mark Mueller sits down with investigative journalist Jim Morris for an in-depth discussion on how and why the governments at the state and federal level are failing us. He profiles little-known cases where citizens are standing up to companies like Exxon and Dupont, who are doing everything in their power to cover up their damages. These corporations continue to lobby lawmakers to be less and less restrictive as the pollution gets worse. What are we going to do about this as citizens? What can we do as citizens? There is hope, and you can tune into this podcast episode to find out what is being done to combat companies at the local level against this multi-billion dollar industry. This bi-partisan issue of public health and safety has seen the state, federal government, and the EPA lobbied to overlook the damage being done by these companies.Jim Morris is a journalist with over 40 years experience writing long form articles and books related to public health in the workplace, and he is the Executive Director and Editor in Chief of the non-profit investigative news organization Public Health Watch Group based in Austin, Texas. They are partnering with NPR, Univision, local governments and communities to make information available that has been hidden from the public view by large corporations and compliant media. Production facilities are expanding their development in spite of the evidence that they are harming the environment, polluting water, injuring and killing their workers and people living nearby. This discussion provides a fascinating and horrifying history of the chemical industry and its long record of covering up scientific facts and the harmful effects of its chemicals. It also reveals how these companies have steamrolled local communities and governments to open and operate toxic industrial plants that cause cancer, other diseases, and devastating damage to land and water.---------Jim Morris is the founder of Public Health Watch and has been a journalist since 1978, focusing on public health and the environment. He is the author of “The Cancer Factory,” an investigative book on chemical exposures in the workplace published by Beacon Press in 2024.

Mark’s first trial was not typical. In his early 20s, he found himself in Orange, Texas. This town was once known for its hostility toward Black residents. Mark defended an 18-year-old charged with assaulting a police officer during a house party raid. The charge carried a possible sentence of 99 years. During jury selection, Mark confronted the racial bias directly, asking potential jurors if they had ever used the N-word and requiring them to explain their answers in court. Nearly half the panel was removed.The result was the fastest not-guilty verdict in Orange County history.It was an unusual and defining start to a career in law.
