Topic: David Ferrie

Judith Vary Baker joins the program to discuss her intimate relationship with Lee Harvey Oswald and her involvement in a secret operation to weaponize cancer. The discussion introduces her books, Me and Lee and David Ferry: Mafia Pilot, which detail her experiences in New Orleans leading up to the JFK assassination. These accounts suggest the death of the president was part of a much larger conspiracy involving biological weapons and the CIA.

David Ferry is identified as a talented pilot and central figure in the anti-Castro bioweapon plot who initially expressed hatred for John F. Kennedy after the Bay of Pigs fiasco. Ferry later changed his mind about the president but remained embedded with conspirators to gather information, which he shared with Lee Harvey Oswald. The narrative clarifies Ferry's role as depicted by Joe Pesci in the film JFK and his connection to the New Orleans research circle.

In May 1963, Lee Harvey Oswald and Judith Vary Baker both began "cover jobs" at the Reily Coffee Company in New Orleans on the same day. Haslam asserts that Oswald was assigned as Baker's bodyguard and handler while she conducted virus research. The two reportedly spent their mornings commuting together on the Magazine Street bus and their afternoons working in clandestine laboratories.

The clandestine project moved from testing on mice and marmosets to human subjects. To verify the biological weapon's effectiveness, the team allegedly sought a "volunteer" from death row at Angola Penitentiary. The subject was transferred to the East Louisiana State Mental Hospital in Jackson, Louisiana, where the biological agent could be administered and monitored in a high-security environment.

After Judith Vary Baker wrote a letter of protest regarding the human testing of the biological weapon, Dr. Alton Ochsner terminated her involvement and threatened her life. David Ferrie helped her secure a job in Florida and warned her that she would be killed if she spoke about the New Orleans project. Baker fled the city in the fall of 1963, shortly before the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

Ed Haslam describes how David Ferrie facilitated secret phone calls between Lee Harvey Oswald and Judith Vary Baker in the months leading up to the JFK assassination. Oswald reportedly told Baker he was being set up and feared for his family's safety. The segment concludes with Haslam directing listeners to his website, DrMarysMonkey.com, for documents and further evidence regarding the conspiracy.

Judith Baker, a young researcher, claims she worked with Lee Harvey Oswald and David Ferrie in a secret New Orleans lab to develop a "vicious galloping cancer" intended to assassinate Fidel Castro. Baker alleges that Oswald was an undercover operative working for Guy Banister and that they were both overseen by Dr. Alton Ochsner. According to her account, the virus was tested on unwitting human subjects at a mental hospital in Jackson.
