In late August 1963, Lee Harvey Oswald, Clay Shaw, and David Ferrie were reportedly seen together in Clinton, Louisiana, near the state mental hospital.

Adam Gorightly details his research into Kerry Thornley, a Discordian founder who served in the Marines with Lee Harvey Oswald. Thornley became a target of District Attorney Jim Garrison's investigation into the JFK assassination, leading Thornley to believe he was a victim of MK-Ultra mind control.

Ken Thomas links Fred Chrisman to the JFK assassination, noting that New Orleans DA Jim Garrison identified Chrisman as a potential Grassy Knoll shooter.
