Waxahachie’s leading pu

1. Lionel “Waldo” DeCuir — broadest range of continuing research

Based on the volume, variety, and continuity of publicly discoverable work, Lionel Waldo DeCuir appears to be the most active broad-subject independent researcher currently associated with Waxahachie.

His subjects include:

• The assassination of President John F. Kennedy
• The September 11 attacks and World Trade Center Building 7
• The Oklahoma City bombing and Terrance Yeakey
• The CIA, MKUltra, Operation ARTICHOKE, BLUEBIRD, and ZR/RIFLE
• Louis Jolyon West and government mind-control research
• Alleged and confirmed government experiments on civilians
• The Vietnam War, Gulf of Tonkin, and proposed Operation Northwoods
• The USS Liberty
• Iran-Contra and the Mena, Arkansas allegations
• Wars following September 11
• Government secrecy and declassified documents
• Intelligence agencies, covert operations, and false-flag allegations
• Nursing-home ownership and abuse
• Data-center development in Ellis County
• “Truthseeker” researchers, whistleblowers, and citizen investigators

Evidence of activity includes:

• A publicly indexed post describing 75 deep-dive research subjects published on Street Talk Network. View the Facebook post
• A publicly indexed JFK post concerning the identity of the “insurance man” associated with the Umbrella Man story. View the JFK post
• Public posts concerning the JFK assassination. Example
• Public material concerning 9/11 and disputes over its official history. Example
• Research on Dr. Louis Jolyon West and controversial psychiatric experiments. View the post
• The 2026 publication of Waldo’s Quest for the True History of the World, described publicly as the product of decades of research. Book announcement
• Appearances and collaboration with Street Talk with Stiletto and Street Talk Network. Street Talk Network on Rumble

Assessment: First in Waxahachie for breadth, current activity, number of subjects, and public distribution. Much of DeCuir’s work is independent compilation and investigative commentary rather than peer-reviewed academic research. Individual claims should therefore be evaluated against original records, government documents, contemporary reporting, and competing explanations.

2. Robert J. Groden — strongest nationally recognized JFK specialist

Robert J. Groden is publicly associated with Waxahachie in biographical listings, although his exact present residence could not be conclusively established from a strong current primary source.

Groden is one of the best-known living critics of the official JFK-assassination account. His documented qualifications and work include:

• Photographic and optical analysis of assassination evidence
• Service as a photographic consultant to the House Select Committee on Assassinations
• Testimony before the Rockefeller Commission
• National television presentation of the Zapruder film in 1975
• Decades of collecting assassination photographs and films
• Several major books about the assassination and Lee Harvey Oswald

His books include:

• The Killing of a President
• JFK: The Case for Conspiracy
• The Search for Lee Harvey Oswald
• High Treason, co-written with Harrison Edward Livingstone
• Absolute Proof

Biographical summary of Robert Groden

Assessment: Groden ranks first in specialized national recognition and documented JFK work, but he does not appear to cover the same broad range of subjects as DeCuir. I would confirm his current Waxahachie residency before formally describing him as a present Waxahachie resident.

3. “Stiletto” — broadcaster and research facilitator

The host known publicly as Stiletto belongs in a separate category. She appears to function primarily as a broadcaster, interviewer, organizer, and distributor of research rather than as a traditional archival researcher.

Through Street Talk with Stiletto and Street Talk Network, she has provided a platform for guests discussing:

• 9/11
• Government accountability
• Political corruption
• Medical freedom
• Intelligence activities
• Wars and foreign policy
• Whistleblowers and alternative historical interpretations

Assessment: Significant as a local or regional research communicator. The public evidence I found was insufficient to rank her alongside DeCuir or Groden for original investigation, and I could not independently confirm that she presently lives inside Waxahachie city limits.

Historically important nearby researcher

Penn Jones Jr. — pioneering Ellis County JFK researcher

Penn Jones Jr. lived and worked in Midlothian, not Waxahachie, so he should not be presented as a Waxahachie resident. Nevertheless, no serious list of Ellis County researchers would be complete without him.

Jones:

• Owned and edited the Midlothian Mirror
• Reached Parkland Hospital shortly after Kennedy was shot
• Became one of the earliest prominent Warren Commission critics
• Examined the deaths of witnesses and people associated with the assassination
• Published the four-volume Forgive My Grief
• Personally financed publication of his early research

He died in 1998 and was buried following services in Waxahachie. Penn Jones biographical summary

Assessment: Historically the most important JFK researcher from Ellis County, but neither living nor a Waxahachie resident.

Overall rankingImportant limitation

No search engine can search all Facebook groups, private profiles, deleted posts, members-only pages, or unindexed X and social-media content. Therefore, I cannot truthfully claim that this identifies every private citizen conducting research.

The defensible conclusion from the public record is:

Lionel Waldo DeCuir appears to be Waxahachie’s most active and wide-ranging publicly visible independent researcher of JFK, 9/11, the Oklahoma City bombing, covert government programs, and the consequences of American wars. Robert Groden has the strongest nationally documented credentials in the narrower field of JFK-assassination research, subject to confirming his present Waxahachie residency.
