CTKA Review: Don Adams book up at CTKA - Seamus Coogan - 04-09-2012
Hey folks here's my review of Don Adams book.
From an Office Building with a High-Powered Rifle: One FBI Agent's View of the JFK Assassination
Sorry for the bold. It has it's flaws but it's not a bad book really. Adams has a nice understated quality and with some tighter editing and better organization it would have been all the better.http://ctka.net/reviews/Adams_From_An_Office.html

Seamus
Thank you for an effective oversight of Don Adam's book.
The John Birch Society was formed in Indianapolis in 1957 by Robert Welch whose candy company stood on East 38[SUP]th[/SUP] Street at Fall Creek.
After the assassination, in that city, Reverend Jim Jones would begin his dark work sometimes linked to CIA mind control experiments.
In my view Milteer's taped comments demonstrate guilty foreknowledge. That Adams would investigate but find his reports scattered and revised cannot be innocent. That his superiors would limit him to five superficial questions sans followup is the FBI of Hoover, the sleuth who missed organized crime before Appalachin.
A particular danger accrues to Bureau witnesses as seen in the suspicious deaths of William Sullivan and five fellow top officers prior to HSCA.
Of course Adams (and Tague) might fall into the LBJ-did-it pit; Landslide shaped their world--by sitting on it. The antidote for this is perhaps Douglass' epic tragedyfor those who haven't time and patience for a host of contextual masterpieces, e.g., Thy Will Be Done.
The Church Lady and Professor DoDo will always be in the chorale of shrieking fairies and carping harpies.
Adams might benefit from a gift edition from your top ten, or a thought-provoking snag.
I always marvel at how LBJ manipulated HSCA, being so dead and all that.

The Deep Politics that controlled Johnson still control us.
Instead of four fingers I'm thinking of one finger.

Abraham Bolden has entered a very important thought in the comments section for his 'From An Office Building...' review saying he thinks that JFK may have asked him to be on his White House detail exactly because he would witness the right-wingers he was surrounded by as his security.
This is an important functional/causal context I had never considered and revelatory in my opinion. It's a mind-bender.

Yeah man cheers that Lyndon Johnson quote is brilliant mate ROFL. If you get the chance Phil try and read Livingstones take on Milteer at the end of Adams book. I think Milteer was up on some under currents. As I say in the review if he is in the crowd, someone could have easily said some patriots are going to get JFK today. Of course this is a set up to create a decoy sort of thing.
