Man Finds Unpublished JFK Photo In CD Case

Every now and then we hear of someone stumbling upon something surprisingly valuable at a yard sale. It could be a rare comic book or baseball card. Or perhaps an original copy of the U.S. Constitution hidden behind a painting of Elvis. Okay, that might be stretch. However, a man in Texas is trying to figure out how a 60-year-old unpublished photo of President John F. Kennedy ended up in a local thrift store.

WFAA-TV reports that George Rebeles bought a Bachman-Turner Overdrive CD from the Souls Harbor Thrift Store in the little town of Ferris, about 20 miles southeast of downtown Dallas. A month or so later, he opened the case and found an original black-and-white Polaroid photo of President Kennedy's motorcade in Dallas with the date 11-22-63 handwritten on the back. That's the date Kennedy was assassinated.

Rebeles says he wonders if the photo is worth anything. Farris Rookstool doesn't think so. Rookstool is a former FBI agent and JFK historian. He says the photo appears to have been taken as the JFK motorcade left the Love Field airport on that fateful day. However, Rookstool added, "It's a nice keepsake, it's a nice heirloom. It's something that meant something to someone in someone's family. I would say that if someone thinks this is of high monetary value, prepare yourself to underwhelmed or disappointed."

As for George Rebeles, he hasn't decided what he'll do with his discovery. He definitely still has questions about who took the photo and how it ended up inside of a Bachman-Turner Overdrive CD case in a small town thrift store. "I'm not a huge conspiracy nut or anything like that," said Rebeles,"but sometimes things don't quite add up." You can see the picture in the video below.

July 20th marks the anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon Landing in 1969. But there are many people who question if it really happen? While it's widely discussed, is it one of the most popular conspiracy theories in North Carolina?

Well, BetKansas.com revealed America's most popular conspiracy theories across each state. They did this through the utilization of Google Search Trends over the last decade to see the most searched and talked about theories.

When major events happen that change the world and people's lives it can be difficult to come to terms with so people often start to ask why, and how and look for explanations that maybe make sense than the official narratives. Conspiracy theories often gain traction and anyone in power denying them just adds fuel to the fire. Do I believe every theory is true? No, some of them are just too out there. But I do think that odds are some are true. Will we ever know the truth? Probably not. The movie buff in me hopes that National Treasure's theory of the President's Book of Secrets is true and maybe one day someone would release it. But I don't expect that to happen. How interesting it would be though!

I know the stories that intrigue me but are they the same conspiracy theories the rest of North Carolina is interested in? Let's find out!

Coming in at number 5 on this list is the most recent theory- what has controlled so much of our lives for the past few years- Coronavirus. The documentary Plandemic certainly helped fuel the fire on this one. Many people believe there is evidence that the Covid-19 virus was created in a laboratory not in an animal market as was first reported.

Some believe that 5G is somehow responsible for the virus. Many have questions about the vaccine and how heavily it was pushed. Also adding to the suspicion of many was the silencing of any alternate views on social media platforms.

I have to say this is one I want to do a deep dive into. I don't quite understand the background but I know that many many things are blamed on this group. But here is what I do know.

The illuminati is the name given to a secret group of individuals who are believed to control significant world events while manipulating other aspects of society. The first reports of such an organization date back to around 1776. Which would be the same time as the birth of America. It's said that at that time some Bavarians decided to oppose state and religious influence and instead implement their own ideologies into society.

The group quickly was While the original Illuminati was quickly stamped out but many Americans still believe they are present today. They also believe that they are behind many of the most influential events in history. Many prominent leaders are theorized to be members including Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, and George W. Bush.

This is probably the first conspiracy theory I ever remember hearing. And North Carolina seems to believe it as it ranks 3rd.

We all know the story. President John F. Kennedy was shot and killed by Lee Harvey Oswald on November 22, 1963. Just two days later Lee Harvey Oswald was also shot and killed, leaving the public with no answers on why he did it, and why he was also shot.

Consequently, many people do not believe the official narrative of what happened, leading to a vast number of conspiracy theories throughout the years. Some of the ones with the most traction are that the CIA was behind it. Or the Mafia, Fidel Castro, or even Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson.

This one is wild. Though I have to saw with a different choice in art at the airport much of this could have been avoided. If you've seen it, it's creepy and you'll never forget it. The gist of the theory is that it houses the New World Order possibly in a secret underground compound.

Many cite the airport’s enormous size as evidence it must be used for something other than just an airport. It's 53 square miles which is twice the size of Manhattan, and bigger than Fort Worth International and Orlando International airports combined. Those are the next two largest U.S. airports. Some say the shape of the runways resembles a swastika and that construction went significantly over budget. All of those factors, combined with the art showing burning trees, children in coffins, and even a gas-masked soldier, has led to these sinister theories.

It is widely considered to be the darkest day in American history. September 11, 2001. If you were alive that day you remember exactly where you were and much of the hours to follow. Approximately 3,000 individuals lost their lives that day and our world was forever changed. But many in North Carolina don't believe that all of this destruction was caused by a few terrorists in planes.

Many conspiracies allege our own government involvement. Some believe there is no way the planes and jet fuel could have caused the collapse of the towers. They believe there were actually controlled demolitions of the buildings. Why? Some say the stock market or a reason to invade Afghanistan.
