Discussions with Authors

[John Simkin]

Just a reminder of some of the debates with authors that are taking place on the Forum. I think the one with Joe Trento about James Jesus Angleton is particularly interesting. I was also recommend the thread on Gerald McKnight's book, Breach of Trust. I think it is a great book that deserves more publicity than it has obtained so far. The same goes for William Turner's Rearview Mirror.

So far Gus Russo and Dale Myers have not replied to my emails. However, I live in hope.

As you can see, there is a pattern here. Those authors who believe in the lone gunman or the Castro/KGB theory prefer one way communication. This is understandable given the intellectual battering that people like Mel Ayton and yourself have received on this Forum.

I am not at all surprised these authors won't respond to questions. Their purpose is to distort the truth, not search for it. (imho)

I have not been able to contact Tony Summers. I would indeed love to have him on the Forum answering questions about his research. Please let me know if you have his email address.

Back in 86 I wrote to Tony SUmmers in Ireland and received a brief response, wherein he mainly quoted from his book "Conspsiracy" and made clear he was not interested in corresponding with anyone on this case.

Vewwy Vewwy strange !!

I regularly send both Tony and Robin articles which challenge their "assumptions" -- on a regular basis.

And most are further expansions of my "face-to-face" statements made to them over the years.

I do believe that both are quite busy with their ongoing works. And moreover, it is quite possible that they, like many of the aforementioned scriveners: prefer avoidance of being TROLLED in public -- especially when considering that this Forum has a massive world-wide audience.

A couple of members of my family will soon be in their neighborhood [in Ireland], and I expect that all conversations will absolutely center upon Irish/English history -- and not a word about the JFK matter will be uttered amongst said genteel folks !!

Chairs,

MAYBE WE CAN STURR UP THE POT A LITTLE BIT.

DAVE PERRY IS A TEXAS BASED DEBUNKER, WHO FOR INSTANCE, UNCOVERED THE FORGERS OF THE DPD ARREST REPORT OF JACK RUBY AND LHO BEING IN AN ARGUMENT DURING OSWALD'S WEEK LONG RESIDENCE AT MARY BLEDSOE'S ROOMING HOUSE. WHILE THE SAID PEPETRADORS THOUGHT IT WAS A JOKE, IT IS ACTUALLY FABRICATION OF EVIDENCE IN A HOMICIDE AND OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE, IF WHAT THEY CLAIM IS TRUE. I HAPPEN TO BELIEVE THE REPORT IS AUTHENTIC.

REITZES IS A FRUSTRATED NEW YORK ACTOR AND SELFPROFESSED RESEARCHER AND NOW INTERNET DEBUNKER, AND EXAMPLE OF WHICH IS HIS DISTORTED AND FALSE CLAIM THAT THE PHONE CALL BETWEEN G. RAY GILL'S LAW OFFICE IN NEW ORLEANS AND JEAN WEST'S APARTMENT HOUSE IN CHICAGO IS INSIGNIFICANT SINCE IT CAN'T BE PROVEN DAVID FERRIE MADE THE CALL. THAT CALL IS EVIDENCE OF CONSPIRACY, WITHOUT A DOUBT, AND CAN BE SHOWN TO BE IN A COURT OF LAW.

THE FIRTS TIME I HEARD OF MCADAMS WAS WHEN HE 'PENETRATED' A COPA CONFERENCE IN DC UNDER AN FALSE IDENTITY, AND WE DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS HIM UNTIL THE NEXT DAY'S WASHINGTON TIMES RAN A PICTURE OF HIM AND QUOTED HIM AS A TYPICAL EXAMPLE OF THE KINDS OF CONPIRACY BUFFS - LIKE TRECKIES, GO TO THESE KINDS OF CONFERENCES.

I HELD THE HIGHEST ESTEME FOR GUS RISSO WHEN WE WERE IN DC LOBBYING FOR THE JFK ACT BACK IN THE EARLY 1990S, AND CONSIDERED HIM, LIKE ME, AN INDEPENDENT RESEARCHER SEARCHING FOR THE TRUTH. HE LIVED WITH HIS MOM IN BALTIMORE FOR AWHILE AND HAD TROUBLE FINDING A PUBLISHER, AND WE GOT ALONG OVER LUNCHES AT THE DC CAFETERIAS. THEN HE GOT SOME $ FROM TV DOCUMENTARY AND FLEW OFF TO INTERVIEW THE FAKE TRAMPS (GEDNEY, ET AL) AND PROCLAIMED THEM GENUINE, AND THEN STARTED GETTING CHUMMY WITH EX-CIA OFFICIALS AND BOUGHT INTO THEIR PROGRAM. HIS BOOK, "LIVE BY THE SWORD," IS AN ANTI-KENNEDY DIATRIDE THAT CONCLUDES THAT JFK GOT WHAT WAS COMMING TO HIM FOR ALL THINGS CUBAN, AND BOBBY WAS EQUALLY TO BLAME.

THEN WHEN I WANTED TO GET THE ATLANTIC CITY SECTIONS OF THE KIEFHAVER MOB COMMITTEE FILES, ONCE THEY WERE RELEASED AFTER 50 YEARS, THE NARA SAID THEY HAD TO REVIEW THEM FIRST. BUT THEN GUS COMES OUT, A FEW MONTHS LATER, WITH HIS HISTORY OF THE CHICAGO MOB BASED ON THE KEIFHAVER COM RECORDS - WHICH JOHN MCCAIN SO GENEROUSLY GAVE HIM ACCESS TO.

DALE MYERS IS AN APPOLOGIST FOR THE CITY OF DALLAS AND A PROTECTOR OF THE TIPPIT FAMILY. HIS COMPUTER GRAPHICS ARE WORTHLESS AND HIS BOOK 'WITH MALICE' FAILS TO INCLUDE THE MOST IMPORTANT DETAILS OF THE MURDER OF J.D. TIPPIT. IF INDEED OSWALD KILLED JFK, SHOT JBC AND MURDERED TIPPIT, HE WOULD BE CONSIDERED, IN HOMICIDAL INVESTIGATION TERMS, A SPREE KILLER, HAVING ESTABLISHED MORE THAN ONE MURDER SCENE WITHIN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. THE FIRST POLITICAL SPREE KILLER ON RECORD, AND CERTAINLY THE SECOND CRIME IS THE ROSETTA STONE TO THE WHOLE THING, AS DAVID BELIN POINTED OUT.

IT'S JUST A SHAME THAT BELIN AND MYERS ARE WRONG ABOUT THE SINGLE ASSASSIN AND DISTURBED MURDERER SCENARIO, AS IF THERE WAS A NORMAL HOMICIDE INVESTIGATION OF BOTH OR EITHER, THE TRUTH WOULD HAVE COME OUT.

WHEN I FIRST MET DALE MYERS, SIGNING BOOKS AT THE TSBA CIRCUS - I SHOWED HIM REFERENCES IN TONY SUMMER'S BOOK - ON THE SHELF IN THE BOOKSTORE - TO THE HSCA INQUIRY - I CAN'T CALL IT AN INVESTIGATION - INTO TIPPIT'S BEST FRIEND CARL MATHER, AND THE FACT HIS CAR WAS SEEN NEAR TIPPIT'S MURDER, WITH LHO BEHIND THE WHEEL. HE SAID IT WASN'T A SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH FACT.

NOR DOES HE BOTHER TO MENTION THAT TIPPIT MOONLIGHTED AS A SECURITY BOUNCER AT THE BULL PEN BARBEQUE DRIVE IN, OWNED BY JACK RUBY'S FIANCIAL BACKER, RALPH PAUL, AND OTHER UNSEEMING DETIALS OF TIPPIT'S LIFE AND CAREER, ESPECIALLY AS THEY ENTWINE WITH HIS DEATH.

PERRY, REITZES, RUSSO, MCADAMS AND MEYERS, THEY ARE POMPUSS, EGOTISTICAL WRITERS WITH COMMON AGENDAS - TO SPIN THE TRUTH TO PROTECT THOSE WHO HAVE THUS FAR GOTTEN AWAY WITH MURDER.

SORRY I HAD TO SHOUT, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE I GET THEIR ATTENTION.
