Exposing Judyth Baker’s use of a crisis to maintain relevancy and profit fiancially by grifting her followers
Enduring historical matters generate significant attention which often inspires certain people to declare improbable stories that cast them as pivotal to history. Claims of secret historical knowledge, assertions of incredible genius, and supposed insider whispers are repeatedly the basis for hucksters to manipulate the public. The assassination of President John F. Kennedy offers no shortage of dishonest official actors but these former leaders are not the only challenge to ascertaining facts. There are opportunists in the public with a great appetite for perceived authority, financial gain, and similar to prior mentioned leaders they assert nearly anything without facts because they also claim to possess some truth or insight unavailable to those who require evidence. Yet how can anyone expect most in the public to believe them without any demonstrable basis to do so?
The years have not been kind to many of the fringe and implausible ideas surrounding the Kennedy assassination case, false ideas range from Lee Harvey Oswald training asserted conspirators to Oswald doing everything without foreknowledge or assistance in less than roughly thirty nonconsecutive hours as officials imagined. Once widely popular fringe conspiracy advocates travelling in Kennedy circles such as James Fetzer or Alex Jones have been largely debunked by their own actions and now lie under anvils of financial and legal woe.i ii Similarly, incongruent official narratives too have unraveled with the greater preponderance of evidence supporting rampant illegal coordination to conceal evidence by some American leadership.
Fiction Writer Judyth V. Baker
Perhaps the most improbable series of jangling claims and assertions under one gaudy tent are those regarding the purported lover of President Kennedy’s assassin, Judyth Vary Baker. Dare I say there may be no greater current proliferation of myths and uninspired misinformation within the Kennedy realm than Baker and her stories ranging from the mistaken to the exceedingly false. Nor is Mrs. Baker’s fiction the mere aberration it once was, she has cultivated a number of people to disseminate her unfounded rumors and poor ideas far and wide as she manages one of two yearly conferences in Dallas to mark the anniversary of President Kennedy’s death. Indeed, last year’s edition of her sideshow included a visit by CAPA chairman Cyril Wecht, JFK Director Oliver Stone, a couple former officials, authors, and several other known people associated with JFK case. With each passing year and unknown sources of funding, it takes the semblance of lent credibility despite its actual content.
However, unbiased evidence or assessment is always missing from Baker’s conference and it’s doubtful they would have invited anyone with it because reasonable skepticism is not on her agenda. Yet this key element is still required because all reliable ideas must depend on evidentiary standards despite using people with name recognition. It is easy to demand that other must respect your research, but if that work lacks evidence, it fails to be research and is nothing more than rumors and fan fiction. The public has a limitless amount of myths and countermyths that government, filmmakers, and writers can offer but we still decades later require facts. Unfortunately, it is not just merely Baker’s endless past inane claims that present a historical detriment but also the present disinformation pouring from her lips infects current history as well.
Never one to let a crisis slip from her grasp and not attempt to claim she is an expert about it, Judyth Baker has entered the realm of COVID-19 with all the eagerness of the uninformed. Using a consistent past of claiming scientific knowledge in the Kennedy case she neither has the schooling for nor ability to possess, Baker has attempted to use her ignorance of science to misinform a new generation of unsuspecting people. In her latest social media ramblings JVB decried that secret people were attacking her computer to stop her from posting tips about the coronavirus. It is notable these hacking claims are the exact past ones she offered dozens of times about people attempting to stop her Kennedy conspiracy posts without any proof of single occurrence then as well. Baker apparently has the precise standard used in her books on the Kennedy assassination for dealing with health matters and some unfortunately might still trust just her word lacking verifiable sources.
Those claims were later followed by another “ominous” but expected blathering that featured her in an interview about the coronavirus and telling people “what they need to know…and what the government is doing wrong”. Again, she has no more qualifications or insights than anyone with a functioning search engine and high school education does, and based on her past record she lacks the perseverance to find evidence to prove what she declares. Having likely read one of the repurposed myths being pushed in the media during March, JVB is now pushing the virus as a “manufactured biological weapon” similar to the ridiculous claims of her creating such a weapon during the nineteen sixties in prior JFK books. It appears she is angling for a bigger share of the conspiracy market and this crisis provides her a chance to do so. Yet such mythical nonsense was a precursor to the real push in April to drive home the disinformation.
Just recently Baker decided to “unmask” the source of the virus based on her lackluster investigative powers and these supposedly unquestionable methods have JVB spewing foreign propaganda. She now claims the source of the virus is Fort Detrick, the United States Army Medical Command in Maryland that conducted Cold War research on biological warfare and stored pathogens created during the nineteen sixties. However, Baker by ignorance or design has chosen to embrace the exact story and details the KGB pushed in the nineteen eighties to blame America for the AIDS epidemic using Fort Detrick.iii Uninspired Chinese propaganda recently attempted to repurpose this old story to blame the United States Army for China’s recent medical censorship regarding COVID-19.iv v vi vii viii These generations old myths are “important” details that Judyth Baker has deemed so vital that people are trying to prevent her from being able to repeat them, well at least people not associated with Chinese and Russian intelligence.
For some a crisis is an opportunity when they observe a chance to gain money and status by manipulating public fears no matter the source of controversial stories. Baker is now parroting a series of ever more ludicrous claims that support active Chinese and Russian disinformation campaigns designed to spread chaos and mistrust within the United States. Per usual she has no evidence or expertise to offer in this matter but her own ideas and it appears that Judyth Baker is desperate to be relevant because her usual myths fell to the wayside amid a health crisis. Her plethora of speculative claims and destructive tales reveal what little concern Baker devotes to evidence or the consequences for people regarding her myths.
