Destiny Betrayed is shipping

[Jim Hackett II]

Phil,
as always your posts inform and help one think a little deeper at the same time. A very big deal akin to a teacher that can do.
Magda,
Thank You also for your input and insight.
I was once burned on a piece of evidence I took at face value. I learned from that in the HSCA time frame. No money or "public rep" lost long before the age of the community and communications, just my own self perception changed.

The best obvious example of disinfo of the last decade I can think of was the faked memo detailing LHO's participation in a 'false-defector' program a few years ago. Having been educated I waited to decide anything about the memo. I have no doubt we all have been through a similar thing whenever it was.
Next I heard of someone going to NARA and find no such memo no matter the RIF. The RIF too was bogus. It was not this thing that got me to confirm information, but if a decade to two earlier it could have.

I belabor the point to tell others how I began to be skeptical about things that fit too well my own opinions.

So, I found many references to Phillips running "anti-FPCC" ops with the help of McCord and others of more public later fame. This fits with the ideas I hold so I had to dig deeper than just the two sources that I had. Newman's "Oswald and the CIA" and more backups I found. Last, Dick Russell's "On the Trail of the JFK Assassins" tipped the scales for me.
Enough sources for me to accept the data.

Skeptic though I maybe, "the whole bay of pigs thing" and "we've done a lot for Helms...." comments of RMNixon take on a more confirmed more sinister tone of dissonance. And that issue fits so well with my ideas of what really was done.

I too find my second reading of Destiny Betrayed 2nd Edition was required. Once for content and once for detail I think someone said and I agree.

Thanks again to Jim DiEugenio, Phil and Magda and all.
Jim
