John Judge

John Judge was born in Washington, DC, part of the post WWII baby boom. He grew up in the shadow of the Pentagon, the CIA, and theNSA. His parents were career civilian employees of the Pentagon; his mother was the highest paid woman employee for many years, and was five levels above top security.

An outspoken critic and opponent of the Vietnam war and militarization of society, he is also an independent researcher, author and lecturer who has spoken at college campuses and community events, and appeared on hundreds of local and national radio and television talk shows.

Author of Judge for Yourself, a compendium of his research articles and lectures about covert operations, hidden history and assassinations, he co-founded the Committee for an Open Archives in 1989 to free the JFK and MLK assassination files. That
organization joined with others to form the national Coalition on Political Assassinations in Washington, DC, following appointment of the JFK Assassination Records Review Board in 1994.

Judge served as the Executive Director of COPA until 1998, and promoted the release of 4 1/2 million pages of records on the JFK assassination, the largest release of classified documents to date. He continues working for a full release of the MLK records.

His research unearthed startling information concerning Jonestown, programmed asssassins, post-war international fascism, Watergate and Contragate, the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan, organized political crimes, and so-called "UFO's". His independent research and analysis have drawn the attention of major media, including Newsweek, the Los Angeles Times, MSNBC, and the John McLaughlin News Hour.

John Judge currently resides in Washington, DC. His book and recordings of his lectures are available from Prevailing Winds Research in Santa Barbara, California.
