A Revolution of Mind by Greg Burnham

[Mitchell Severson]

My own view is that LBJ as mastermind is a kind of modified limited hangout position to the lone nut fiction and is nearly as bad the lone since it deflects attention from Why he died and therefore makes JFK's death an unfortunate murder carried out by a corrupt politician.

This. Some felt it was an op to deflect attention from JFKU. So those promoting it (Morrow, reviewers et al) were suspect and possibly complicit. Regardless of intel involvement, the book is clearly wrong in its premise and those who seek to place it center stage are not helping in furthering understanding in the matter but involved in a cover up, wittingly or unwittingly.

I get a bit frustrated when I see these claims or accusations that so-and-so who disagree with us are part of some 'Op' when I don't see much by way of actual evidence that that is the case. I may have missed some reasonable presentation of such a case with this Nelson book, I admit. I just presume that many people are wrong most of the time. This author was in the insurance industry, or something? I would think if it were misinformation, it would have gotten a bit of support. That seems the way the LN community works: tons of media support for the same naïve, methodologically-unsound claptrap. This Nelson guy comes off as a more sane less sex-obsessed Morrow, in my opinion. This isn't the most important point to be making right now, but I worry that too many discussions descend to accusations. If there's an even bigger problem with this book, it's that it relies on so many secondary sources - at best.

I have not read my copy and probably won't. What I may do is put it right next to 'Reclaiming History': the shelf will include any and all books I own simply because they were mispriced.
