New CTKA Review: The Failings of Joseph Farrell: A Review of LBJ and the Conspiracy to Kill Kennedy

[Jan Klimkowski]

I'm confused about the Permindex reference. Are you saying Flammonde's version of Permindex is accurate? The article says people can't be blamed for being sucked-in to Permindex theories but never quite exonerates Permindex for what the Italian government kicked Permindex out of Italy for.


I read the article in combination with an article written by DiEugenio outlining the snowballing of spurious branches of the conspiracy:

Jim DiEugenio's post in the dedicated Permindex thread here is more succinct on Permindex:

Seamus Coogan will have some interesting observations on Permindex in his upcoming article at CTKA.

THese will be contained in a review of the latest Johnson did it BS, Joseph Farrell's "LBJ and the Conspiracy to Kill Kennedy". This mish mash makes the Nelson book look like it was written by Sylvia Meagher and Philip Melanson. I don't even think Fetzer will interview this guy.

Anyway, if you can beleive it, at this late date, Farrell fell in love with the Torbitt Document. So Seamus discusses Torbitt and then analyzes what can be termed three groups of writing on Permindex, bu tnot quite in the following terms:

1. Paris FLammonde, Garrison, myself, and Bill Davy.

2. Steve Dorrill, Robin Ramsey and Max Holland.

3. Torbitt, and Executive Intelligence Review.

The first is clearly the most accurate. Permindex was a CIA affiliate that was involved in some reactionary skulduggery and probably was part of the Gladio apparatus.

THe next two are pieces of disinformation--one which tries to deny the facts, and the second which tries to wildly exaggerate them.

For Farrell to fall for Torbitt shows just how bad a writer he is and how bad his book is. Torbitt was clearly a CIA concoction meant to mislead by throwing out so many suspects that one could not keep up with them.
