A quick response to James' longer post.
The quote in question was
So if you don't think Italians were putting a 'false face' on CMC to cover up another group, we're in agreement. I don't think so either.
I have that Marrs book, and also just re-checked an online PDF of it. He's often a useful author. My issue with that excerpt you posted is that much of the key analysis comes from the pseudonymous Torbitt document, and any paragraph beginning 'According to the Torbitt document' isn't a great lot of use. Who wrote the Torbitt document? It's a guess. Does the guy who wrote it offer any documentation proving his thesis? No. So it's not a lot of use.
My point in this thread has always been that Michele Metta has written a book on CMC, and some people might find it of interest.
No, the only person who has written words along those lines in this thread so far is you, just now. My own suggestion, if it requires clarity, is that Clay Shaw was a member of CMC, and he was also involved in the assassination of JFK, and an Italian author has now written a detailed volume about CMC which offers new details about that organisation and which might be of interest. In fact, within the archival documents and footnotes of Metta's book, if someone cared to look, they could probably, eventually, source various people back to the various fascist circles you keep on referring to. This could surely be enlightening, so maybe some people might find Metta's book of interest once they read it? I would have thought so. But no, you offered a one line post early in the thread saying that the book looked like disinformation, and here we are on page three of the thread clarifying what my points were in my original post.
Paul Brancato at the JFK Education Forum - who read the Skorzeny book and apparently found it of interest - is reading Metta's book now and says it is 'incredible research, and very important'. If future posts in this thread could remain on the general topic of Metta's work here, it would be a great help.
Quote:I get a lot of words put in my mouth. I don't think I ever said that there were Italians working as front men in CMC to cover up the Nazi involvement. If I said it, it would be a mistake.
The quote in question was
Quote:there are elaborate scenarios of various Italians included in a sort of smorgasboard of activities which would try and "put a face" (a false face?) on the Centro Mondo Commercialle
So if you don't think Italians were putting a 'false face' on CMC to cover up another group, we're in agreement. I don't think so either.
Quote:As can be seen from the above Jim Marrs quotation, the CMC organization was part of a much larger scope than just Italy.

Quote:But what is the point being made by Mr. Thorne
My point in this thread has always been that Michele Metta has written a book on CMC, and some people might find it of interest.
Quote:Is this a suggestion that JFK was not killed by the worldwide Nazi network, but rather that JFK was killed by a group of Italians all by themselves who populated the Centro Mondiale Commerciale?
