I've essentially never seen anything from the sphere of "parapolitics" that actually appears to impart any useful practical knowledge for understanding the past or predicting the future, at best it appears to be a masturbatory hobby that lets you be smug about JFK for 50+ years straight, at worst it makes you some annoying asshole who goes around saying shit like "denying the existence of snuff films is leftist flat earth" for attention.
Also Programmed To Kill is a very stupid book.
Fair. I have not gained much from all the parapolitics podcasts I have heard and the remaining ones do not look very relevant.
