Well, frankly, this is not a rare occurrence, most days seeing one function or other completely phlooey... anyway... due to the sudden unavailability of the "watch later" button, which makes the generation of long playlists feasible, I cannot at this moment make a playlist for you, so I'm just linking you to Ole's uploads for the time being. There are, I think, currently 66 uploads of conversations between Jim Fetzer and Hailey Otis, aka Agent Ladybug, a woman who claims to know an awful lot of insider information about the JFK assassination... and... an outright ridiculous number of others.

Ole and Jim are both taking her seriously. When questioned about why, Ole says she has provided information that fills holes in his research. Although, he also says he didn't even know they were holes — which means they well might not have been holes — until he listened to these recordings, but a lot of her stuff makes sense to him. Jim, on the other hand, only says she seems credible to him. It gets worse. The latest interaction has involved an irate Hailey Otis warning Fetzer that this utterly unbelievable serial killer is gunning for him, yet when questioned about what he's done to verify what she's been telling him, he replied that he hadn't had the time for it.

He spent what you can readily tell are at least fifty hours on the phone with her over the past few years, and now is hearing from her that serial killers, contract killers, have declared him a dead man, and he hasn't had time for it? Ole is in Spain and stated it was too difficult to verify any of it from there, which, of course, is reasonable, and tells you he's really just taking Fetzer's word for it.

It's a ludicrous situation and I think Fetzer's just using the whole thing as a means to get more attention, and trying to get some new blood in to wade through all this raw "data" to help with the investigations into numerous murders, and primarily JFK. He and Ole think that taking all this as public as possible is the best way to make sure none of them are killed. So I'm linking you to it, and will, if YouBube starts working again, turn it into a playlist so you or anyone you know who would be interested can listen at your leisure... or download the conversations... whatever... from a more convenient format, but I think they're all being assholes. Ole only a little, Ladybug a lot and Fetzer a serious lot.

Hailey Otis, before the days of the intertubes, had a conspiracy theory radio show and Jim Fetzer had been on it. Then, starting in 2012, I think, she started calling him with all kinds of information on her ex-boyfriend who was involved in the JFK assassination and this astonishing list of other high profile and unsung slaughters.

Stop right there.

A woman with a conspiracy theory radio show back in the last century suddenly opens up to one of the best-known JFK researchers out there about her ex who seems unable to go a day without at least gratuitously disemboweling a bag lady?

And this seems credible to him? She seems credible to him? Really?

Ole has listened to all this material and says he finds it credible, but I think he would because the woman, obviously, and reasonably, since it was her business, knows a lot about the JFK assassination. This being the case, it would be much easier for her to make claims of connection with it that would impress experts, or at least interest them enough to pay some attention. But there isn't even a wisp of evidence and there has not been from the git. She's old. She's alone. She's spent most of her adult life on this shit. She so very well may have found she couldn't get anyone's attention unless she somehow inserted herself into the story. Whatever.

She's no Mae Brussell. She has been wanting attention from the people she views as her peers. Fetzer somehow pissed her off and now he's having a field day with it... and poor Ole is stuck with it. Maybe my jaded take on this is malarkey and the missing credibility after having spent about five hours on this so far is nested somewhere in these 66 vids... probably not.

I just have to remind you that people do this. They make up wild tales of intrigue to help rivet someone's attention to them. A numismatic coin dealer who started out being an Italian in Boston soon had my mortally vain Aunt Wilma convinced he was actually Arab royalty, working as an undercover agent in an anti-terrorism unit, only selling rare coins on his downtime. Turned out he was an old Israeli in LA doing a lot of undercover chemo for prostate cancer. This is common! Even though, yes, it's more often men who do it, it is so common I find it hard to believe anyone over forty can't parse this. I mean, on its face, this demands some investigation as to the veracity of her identity and associations, some link with something verifiably actual, before one goes on to spend this much time on it and Fetzer just says she seems credible and he hasn't had the time to check? Jim Fetzer?

What?
