#1203 - John Koerner

John Koerner is an author of several historical books which focus on conspiracies and the paranormal. One title in particular is "Why The CIA Killed JFK and Malcolm X" in which John argues that the CIA’s secret drug trade in Laos, and the president’s effort to end it, provided the primary motive that the CIA needed to assassinate the president. A lot of effort has been made to examine the president’s Vietnam policy, but precious little attention has been paid to the opium trade in Laos that was making the CIA wealthy and powerful beyond its wildest dreams. John is a professor of American History, and is also the founder of Paranormal Walks, a ghost tour company which explores the paranormal history of Western New York. Koerner has appeared on "America's Book of Secrets" on the History Channel, and William Shatner's "Weird or What" on the Discovery Channel.
