Vincent Salandria said at the begining of his notes:
How many of you would agree with his assessment? Are the American people ready now to accept his views of the assassination? During the early years after the assassination, some witnesses, like Jean Hill, were judged to be out of their minds, and Arlen Specter even threatened to put her in a hospital for the mentally insane when interviewing her for the Warren Commission. Jean herself had said that because she was thought to be crazy, it saved her life. Many critics of the Warren Commission, like Salandria, Mark Lane, and others, were ignored by the mass media.

Quote:I told him (Vincent Salandria) that I viewed his work on the Kennedy assassination as very likely having saved my life.(Please refer to Post #9 on page 1 -AE)
Quote:Knowing what I know now, and being then, as now, committed to historical truth, I would have not changed my earliest statement that the Kennedy assassination was a crime of the U.S. warfare state. But I would not have endeavored to rally people to confront as I did the assassins. I know now that the U.S. public never did want to accept the U.S. warfare state as the criminal institutional structure that it is. I know now, that even if the U.S. public ever was ready to accept the true historical meaning of the Kennedy assassination, that there are and have been no institutional structures open to them with which they could hope to countervail successfully the Kennedy killers, the enormous power of the U.S. empire and its warfare state.
Quote:The Warren Commission Report, through its lies, served to calm the U.S. public in a period of great crisis. If any serious domestic or foreign effort had been made to counter the coup, the weaponry commanded by the state criminals would have resulted in catastrophic loss of life. Therefore, in my judgment of Arlen Specter I defer to the wisdom of Sophocles, who said: "Truly, to tell lies is not honorable; but where truth entails tremendous ruin, to speak dishonorably is pardonable."
