Mae Brussell

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mae Brussell (May 29, 1922 – October 3, 1988) was a conspiracy theorist and radio personality.

Born in Beverly Hills, California, Mae was the daughter of the prominent Wilshire Boulevard Temple Rabbi Edgar Magnin[1] and great-granddaughter of Isaac Magnin, founder of the I. Magnin clothing stores.

In her early life, she was a married housewife with five kids and living in Southern California. After the Kennedy assassination, she bought the 26-volume Warren Commission Hearings[2] and started studying, for herself, the evidence that Lee Harvey Oswald was a lone assassin.

In May of 1971, after seven years of research, Mae appeared as a guest on KLRB, a local FM radio station independently owned. The response to her appearance was so good she became a regular weekly guest and afterword had her own show Dialogue: Conspiracy (later changed to World Watchers International). In 1983 Mae's show was picked up by listener-sponsored KAZU FM in Pacific Grove. She died in Carmel, California in 1988.

She also published articles in Paul Krassner's The Realist.
