Remembering Mae Brussell

This past Sunday, May 29, 2022 marked 100 years since the birth of Mae Brussell.

Mae Brussell, who died of cancer at age 66 on October 3, 1988, was a radio personality and conspiracy theorist in California.

She did meticulous research. The 1963 assassin of then-35th U.S. president John Kennedy was a powerful influence in motivating this former housewife to change her life and look into historic matters—especially with citing post-World War II as a turning point—which would send the U.S. into decline. (No—she did not believe the Warren Report. Yes—she was ahead of her time.)

In 1970, Brussell’s daughter, Bonnie, who was 16, was killed in an automobile accident. (Find a Grave says Bonnie was 14.) The following year, she launched her radio program, Dialogue: Conspiracy (later renamed World Watchers International), which was syndicated in several markets. Her daughter’s death, no doubt, further moved Brussell to continue digging deeply into issues like assassinations, surveillance of citizens, and numerous forms of government corruption.

Her research made a number of people uncomfortable. And there were threats against Brussell. In the year of her death, she went off air and did her program episodes privately and, afterward, mailed the recordings to her listeners.

I have not, in recent time, probed enough to come across enough videos published to YouTube. (Not enough for being timed with the date of this blog topic.) I will add one related source to recommended Videos. It is Mae Brussell Project. From this source, I will include one embedded video. (One viewer’s comment from May 2022: “This presentation [from 1978] is so timely with what's going on in with the Azov Battalion in Ukraine.” —Dboz Expat.)
