I don't have the slightest of what you are talking about in post 42.
In addition to not having read Huckleberry Finn, I have never read your book(s) or anything else you wrote about your father.
What I was talking about was not a direct reference to you, but the general tendency of some people to listen to someone like a former Cuban exile and then take their word for what the person said e.g. Lamar Waldron, Gus Russo, Mellen with Murgado. You know, the guy who said he worshipped Kennedy and then spent the whole interview talking about how RFK hired Bernardo DeTorres to protect his brother and it was Bernardo who was at Odio's door. Or Sergio Arcacha Smith saying to Russo that he never heard of Rose Cheramie. Or Harry Williams telling Waldron that he was meeting with RFK during the California primary to remind him about C Day etc.
I for one do not find any of that very credible, for a lot of different reasons which I will not go into now. But part of it comes from my own experience. You are invited to read my reviews, of Waldron for example, and see if you find me objective or not. I would rather you do that than say I am not objective about your work--when in fact I have never read your work.
Quote:I didn't ask you if you read my book, in-fact, I would say my first book was a total disaster, material is missing, material that I didn't approve was added. And, I subsequently left out a ton of information just to get the feel of how all this was suppose to work. I would recommend reading my update when it becomes available.
I completely agree with you when it comes to credibility. I'm not sure where you're coming from when you keep relating to "my work" or "my book(s)", and you never read them, however, I can say the same, I've never read any of your work, book(s) or reviews, but I did correct you on whose report Kennedy used that led to NSAM 263.
I believe it works for everyone doesn't it? Kinda like Posner blaming Oswald for the assassination, or others who believe LBJ did it, or Ion Pacera who believes the KGB did it, or Castro did it, or Harrleson did it, or Menninger who released his theory that Hickey did it, or Lester's book, that little green men did it or Waldron or Blakley who believe the mob did it, for Christ sake man some even believe Joe DiMaggio and Frank Sinatra did it,
Credibility comes from within, it does not discriminate, it starts with telling the truth, and everyone wants to tell the truth. I believe that if the truth becomes boring, then it becomes embellished, however, if you have a good, strong background of truth and can provide documentation along with first witness account, then no one can ever discredit you whether they like you or not, all they can do is pretend to have something on you, but they're to nice to call you out, so they just form an opinion, either way it's a sad situation when folks give up truth to be plunged down a rabbit hole.
