John Dolva Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 (edited) Bill,The first thing I looked at the other day was "Flinders U" in Australia. It seems it is a legitimate, government sponsored institution of higher learning. I was disappointed that it did not fall apart like a "cheap suit", as in my quick takes on shill orgs, like Heritage Foundation, Manhattan Institute, techcentralstation, etc., usually and quickly do when poked and prodded... Yes, Flinders University is a serious University in Oz, however that doesn't mean all grads are. Since the gradual destruction of Goughs (coup, 1975) free education for all, many institutions set aside places for the monied who in effect end up buying their degree, regardless of matric scores. There are also other ways to move through the post school institutions and faculties within, for example a relatively simple entry to an arts degree, can lead to a skip to law in second year. I started in civil eng, then hopped over to computer science and an archaeology aimed double major (then dropped out, turned on and try to tune in). One may start in a smaller perhaps private institution and hop into a major uni or vice versa. However that doesn't say anything about the authors creds. The book should to some extent, and even then, as William appears to try to get across, even the silliest can come across stuff of interest. (Usually these end up as interlibrary-loanables through the main Oz library. (I'll check and order it through that if poss. (don't hold yer breath, got a boat trailer to recondition + + + ....)).) edit:typo Edited March 1, 2009 by John Dolva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Buell Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Why not get Robin Haines to join us an you can express your disbelief to her and see if she can explain it. I will do that. She is going to send me a book for review. I haven't read the new book but I read "Deception in Dallas." Save your money. Not only is it barely over 100 pages, it achieves that length only by using large type and triple-spacing. This book is the "Plan 9 from Outer Space" of assassination literature. No research, nothing new, and an incoherent, barely literate, writing style. Gary, Can you summerize it in fewer words then? What does she mean that JFK committed suicide when he signe off on Executive Orders? Also, is this the same Robin Haines who wrote serious historical research on Australia and was a visiting professor at Flinders University? Is that a legitimate institution? Thanks, BK I took another look at this book. The writing is a slightly better than I remembered it earlier but it is still not a very good book. I do no believe that Haines is an historian. The biographical note says that she graduated high school and has worked in many jobs in various industries. Basically Haines argues that the assassination was not a crime but a legitimate and necessary covert action and was approved in writing by JFK himself. There is no evidence presented to support this. Kennedy is portrayed as physically and mentally ill, a psychopath really, and a clear and present danger to the country and the world. His assassination was therefore legally and morally justified. Haines believes that David Phillips, Richard Helms and E. Howard Hunt were behind the assassination. She also notes that as of the writing of Deception in Dallas (2001) all three were alive, although in fact Phillips died in 1988. Oops. Kennedy was forced or manipulated into approving his own assassination, and into signing an Executive Order, probably by Helms. No evidence is given to support this.

Hey Gary, Thanks for looking at it again. Maybe it isn't the same Robin Haines who wrote the books about Australia? http://www.allbookstores.com/author/Robin_Haines.html While National Security Action Memos (NSAM) seem to be more significant, and some are still secret today - ie Four Leaves - Executive Orders are not secret and well known. JFK issued a lot of Executive Orders, but a few stand out that could be significant, or what she is talking about, even if she's a fanatic. If there was a cabal within the administration bent on replacing JFK as president, and they utilized the Valkyrie plan, first as a contingency against Castro and then redirecting it against JFK (as less fanatical Waldron/Hartman/AMWORLD suggests), then they did get JFK to sign off on new emergency powers. In looking at JFK's ExOrders, a few stand out - specifically those signed on February 26, 1963, when JFK signed a record high eleven ExOrders, nine of which delt specifically with assigning emergency prepardness functions, beginning with 174 - 110087 thru - 110095. http://www.lib.umich.edu/govdocs/jfkeo/exodates.htm She might be nuts but she's not crazy.

Gary & Bill, I dropped out of high school at 14 so I know bugger all about universities, but my belief is that Flinders is one of the most respected universities in this country. As for Ms Haines, I found this on the uni website: Flinders historian Dr Robin Haines launched a book centred on the crucial role of medical superintendents of 19th century migrants, Doctors at Sea: Emigrant Voyages to Australia in the Victorian Era. Dr Haines also sat on the panel that discussed "The tyranny of history". http://www.flinders.edu.au/news/news-artic...E1-97F6E0C4A7C5 I have also read a few pages of her book (not sure now which one) at Amazon. I won't knock her for the length of the book because I don't want to equate page numbers with quality, but the print was indeed large - which I found a little off-putting. However it was the quality of the writing and editing which really let it down. It was by any standard, abysmal. Her other books are on the type of subject matter you'd expect from someone in her position, and the reviews of them seem positive. Not sure how all of that squares with two apparently poorly written works on the JFK case. As for her theory, didn't Shanet Clark espouse something similar insofar as it being a legal hit?

The link you provide sells Probable Cause by Robin Haines, but the web site was probably put together by someone who got it off the web, from another bookseller, like Barnes & Noble, who list the Australian books along with the two JFK books as if they are by the same author, but they too, I believe make the same mistake. The Author House, self-publishing web site would promote, at least in the press release, that the author has also published the other historic works, by mainstream presses, that are much more academic than the JFK assassination books, according to Gary. I would also think the book Gary has would also mention the other works by the same author. It is odd that there isn't more on the Robin Haines of academia. It's pretty arcane to write a book about the JFK assassination that few have ever heard of, and taking the position that we killed the bastard and he deserved it, but its really arcane to also write a book about the daily lives of 18th century ship surgeons.

I just read some more of the JFK book through Amazon. According to author: JFK agreed to be killed and signed an Executive Order to that effect. Oswald was a genuine Leftist. Maurice Bishop was Howard Hunt. Ruby was a Kennedy man thru and thru. From my further reading, I conclude that not only are you correct, but I'll take it one step further -- this person is an All-American loop-de-loop - not Australian. An apology is owed to Robin F Haines and to Flinders University. That apology should come from places like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Robin Haines and Authorhouse for allowing buyers to be deceived as to the credentials of the actual author (you were right about that, too - Amazon etc have linked Robin F Haines to this book...)

The book tells the story of the voyage from the point of view of the surgeon superintendents who supervised assisted emigrants at sea via their journals, letters, and official reports. Doctors at Sea will be launched as part of Adelaide Writers' Week in the East Tent on Wednesday March 8 at 11.30am, and Dr Haines will also be a panellist at two sessions on the writing of history. Doctors at Sea is a companion volume to Dr Haines's Life and Death in the Age of Sail (2003), which presented the emigrants' view of the voyage, and which is now out in paperback in Australia and the UK..... ...Dr Haines is now shifting her focus away from migration: her new project is an investigation of the life of a young British soldier in India and Burma in the 1920s and 30s. http://web.archive.org/web/20060823010225/.../history/staff/ Staff members... ...Non-university staff accorded academic status * Dr Lance Brennan * Dr Francis Brooks * Dr David Close * Associate Professor Brian Dickey * Dr David Hilliard * Associate Professor Peter Howell * Mr John Mallon * Emeritus Professor Robin Moore * Dr Ching Fatt Yong * Dr Robin Haines http://cache.zoominfo.com/CachedPage/?arch...lastName=Haines Robin Haines Robin Haines is an honorary Senior Research Fellow in the Department of History at Flinders University.

Recently, Dr Haines in partnership with Dr Ralph Shlomowitz (School of Business Economics, Flinders University) has explored ways in which the management of health and disease on board ships carrying slaves, convicts, and emigrants can inform the debate over the decline of mortality on land in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Interesting enough to get some attention, with a semi-plausible story-line that has aspects of truth... like a limited-hangout. Disinformation or tease? "And me, I'm flying in my taxi, Taking tips, and getting..." = Lyrics by Harry Chapin http://www.authorhouse.com/BookStore/ItemD...px?bookid=41872Probable Cause: ReThinking of the JFK Plot About the Author Robin Haines Robin Haines was born in Jersey City, New Jersey — in Christ Hospital on March 20th 1953. Her mother was a journalist for a newspaper called the Jersey Journal Dispatch, which was once known as The Hudson Dispatch. She was a Religion Editor who also covered theater, and entertainment and occasionally, covered stores about politics. Her father was a wine salesman who eventually became a Cab Driver. Both of her parents are now deceased. She resided in Weehawken, New Jersey, until she was 29. Then she relocated to Winchester, Virginia, where she still lives today. She has never been married. Her many interests include politics, religion, military and American History. She also enjoys horseback riding, theater, and current events. She was once a bank receptionist, a Music Monitor for ASCAP, and a Time Clock Sales Representative. After her move to Virginia she has worked on horse farms, and Hunt Country Estates. She also did long-term industrial temp jobs, and was a Food Lion Cashier. She is presently employed by Polly Cab of Winchester as a cab driver. Her personal goal is to have the cover removed from the JFK Operation so the whole truth can finally be established. There is a quotation etched in stone on the wall of the National Archives in Washington, D.C. It reads: “Those who don’t remember the past have a tendency to repeat it”. How can the United States government expect people to be able to remember their past when so much of the truth about their past has been kept from them? The author deeply believes that the many controversies, which are still hanging over us from the 1960’s and ‘70’s need to be resolved. Final closure should be brought to these things while there are still some people living who have first hand knowledge of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
