Yesterday I went to the archive's lawyers office to get copies of Bloomfield's documents. Received 2 CDs containing more than 2,000 documents that the archives previously refused to release to me. They only held back 92 documents because they are deemed to be protected by solicitor client privilege.

The archives provided me with a document called a "privilege log", which is a list of names of people to whom letters are addressed to, none of the names on this list are important.

Have also asked the archives to update their restrictions on access to the Bloomfield collection so other researchers will be able to access them. After this issue is settled, I will probably settle the case. 

 

The archives have confirmed that they are going to update their access restrictions for the Bloomfield collection by January 11. At that time all researchers will be able to access all of the documents, except for the 92 that they are subject to privilege. Will visit the archives in January 2019 to review the Bloomfield collection to ensure they gave me all of the files. After that I will have one last teleconference where I will close the case.

Who prepared the statement?

To my knowledge, which is not current, he may be coming out with another book. 

And if I am correct on this, and again I am not current, it will be specifically about the murders of his uncle and father. 

Will be looking forward to reading it, in the mean time there is Lisa's new book. Do you know if she interviewed him?

Interesting. Where is the interview? Btw John, I recommend RFK jr.’s great book American Values. 

I downloaded Linda Pease new book on RFK. I’ll see if she opines on who done it.

The interview was on ABC on The Alec Baldwin Show." The link is below, the RFK episode is not there but may appear soon. The interview covers 2 topics, his new book and his father's assassination. You will certainly like it.

https://abc.go.com/shows/the-alec-baldwin-show/episode-guide

Robert F. Kennedy jr. was interviewed recently by Alec Baldwin. He asked Kennedy if he knew who killed his father, and he replied that he is pretty sure he knows who was responsible. He would not say who it was, and said that there should be another investigation and that Sirhan Sirhan should be paroled. Any comments about his knowing who was responsible? Does anyone believe that he could have been able to find out who the conspirators were?

Mark Lane made a similar comment at the 2013 Pittsburgh JFK conference. He said that he knew who assassinated Kennedy but could not reveal it because of some legal issue.

Paz:

What do you mean by respect? Do you believe that I am not being respectful to Michele after all of the work he has done?

Paz:

Metta says he was the founder of Permindex. He states this a number of times in his book. Being an investor is not the same as founding the company. There are also other investors in the company, does that mean that they are founders as well? If he was an investor in the company Metta should have stated that instead of saying he was the founder. A founder of a company is someone who created the company, it was the founder's idea that the company should have been created. This is not the case. Metta offers no proof in his book that Permindex was Bloomfield's idea. And again, if he founded the company, why is he not on CMC's board of director?

I am also getting tired of your rants. Your responses are defensive and angry. You need to calm down.

Not directly. But I know you at least posted your desire to see it, and I’d like to also. There seems to be disagreement on Bloomfield ‘s exact position in the company - attorney or founder if I recall. 

I can assure you that he was not a founder. I checked the documents that Paz said were CMC's board of directors, Bloomfield's name is not on it. If he founded the company, he would be on its board of directors. I also have a copy of the Financial Post's "Directory of Directors" for the years 1957, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962 and 1963. This directory is list of business men and the companies they are directors of. There is no reference to either Permindex or CMC for Bloomfield in this directory. This belief that Bloomfield founded this company has never been supported by actual evidence.

Thanks for the update, and look forward to anything interesting. 

Have you been able to get Mr. Metta to show his info on CMC to you? 

Have not asked him for this info. Has anyone else asked for it?

Have an update on the court case. Had another tele-conference with the court regarding Bloomfield's files. They are going to review all letters they have deemed to be subject to solicitor-client privilege (SCP). If they find a letter that they believe should not be subject to SCP, it will copied and put on a disc that will be given to me. The work will be done by mid-December. If I am not satisfied with the letters that are not released, I still have the option of arguing my case in front of a judge.

Or, maybe, weird questions. For example: Metta documents are from the CMC BODs, so of course those names in the documents Metta put online are in the CMC Board of Directors ...

They are not weird questions, those documents are written in Italian, that is why I asked.

Bloomfield's name is not included in those documents, which does not surprise me because I do not believe he founded Permindex or played a management role in the operation of CMC. Until I see a document that states otherwise, Bloomfield's role, as he described it in one of his letters, was to represent the interest of someone involved with these companies. Who this is  unknown.

Hi Paz:

The Bloomfield court case is ongoing and I have had my first conference with the archive's lawyers, Quebec law society who have intervened in my case, and a court official. At the end of the month we will have another meeting with them to see if we can settle the issue of access to the documents with out going to court. This has been a long process but now that we have had our first meeting, there is a possibility that we can settle this issue without going to court, hopefully sometime early in 2019. 

On page 7 of Michele's book he states that Permindex was founded by Bloomfield, what is the source for this statement?

The documents available online contain the name of different people. Do any of these documents contain the names of CMC's board of directors?

Does Michele have a document that has the names of the board of directors of Permindex?

David:

Read your article about the rifle and the pistol. Excellent work. I have RCMP documents regarding their investigation of the pistol that was shipped from Canada to Seaport Traders. If you want to review them let me know and I will forward them to you.

To trace the HIDELL Kleins order they needed to trace a specific rifle from receipt to inventory to order to packing to shipping....  but as of Nov 23rd, there was not yet proof C2766 was sold to Kleins and if you read my RIFLE essay you know that the 10 packing slips and the rest cannot possibly be related to these non-existent 100 40" FC rifles.

David:

You wrote an essay about the rifle. Would like to read it, can you tell me where I can find it?

Just ordered a copy as well, thank you for letting us know about it.

When it comes to JFK conspiracy theories, there are two fundamental problems:  (1) There have been SO MANY diametrically opposed conspiracy theories, over SO MANY years, involving COMPLETELY DIFFERENT motivations and casts of characters, that it is difficult to take any of them seriously even if one has a completely open mind.  The whole ball of wax tells us far less about the assassination of JFK than about the conspiracy mindset. 

The fact that there are so many theories about Kennedy's murder is not a problem. People interpret evidence differently and can arrive at different conclusions. The fact that people arrive at different conclusions has no bearing on the historical truth about what happened that day in Dallas. Whether you believe Oswald acted alone or Kennedy was killed by a conspiratorial cabal, the fact that people can't agree about what happened will not change the truth about what actually did happen.

John:

We are not talking about the JFK case.  At least not me.

The reason that info interested me was because of the possible associations between Stephenson, the Rockefellers and Sarnoffs and Bloomfield.

Bloomfield knew Stephenson and the Rockefeller. They are mentioned in his letters. He moved with the upper echelons of society in Canada, US and Europe. He was a very-well connected man. The link below is a letter written by Bloomfield in which he mentions Dulles.

I will have a look at it.

I could not find the references to pages 418 and 487-491 in Dope Inc., because the copy I downloaded from internet archive only has 406 pages.

It is true, Bloomfield is connected to many in power elite, he had contact with the Rothschilds, Stephenson, and other notable people. But this contact with them does not prove he was participant in the Kennedy assassination, or other deep political events.

Dope inc. is written by Lyndon Larouche's North American Labour Party, and anything written by them is not supported by facts. He wrote about Permindex in Executive Intelligence Review, and it it he claimed that Bloomfield was working with Albert Osborne in the operation of a group of assassins. I never found any connection between Osborne and Bloomfield when I was researching my story about Osborne. Larouche also claims that Canada is run by the English monarchy. It is not, Canada is a democracy and the queen has no power, she is only a figurehead.

A lurker wanted me to forward this to John:

 

One of the PDF files he shows under the Bloomfield thread is a letter Richard Coit (likely Cote) in C/O: Sir William Stepheson, the British SOE at address 608 Fifth Avenue 20, NY. 

 

That address was the Goelet Building and it was adjacent to Rockefeller Center, which according housed the David Sarnoff RCA - NSA appartatus which included Stephenson and Walter Sheridan. 

 

Pages 418---pages 487-491 in Dope Inc. 

 

Dope Inc PDF file can be accessed and downloaded on line. 

 

Interesting history of the building maybe John would like to review.

Bloomfield really was a player it seems.  He really moved in the upper circles of the power elite.

Thanks for enjoining this legal battle. I agree - it’s important. I’m curious if your research so far has yielded any clues as to why a major Jewish financier would ally himself to a group with strong Nazi and fascist ties?  

The research I have done shows that he does not necessarily know much about the backgrounds of the people he is working with. The letters I have read are concerned only with mundane business matters, and does not discuss the deep political activities that Permindex and CMC were accused of.
