McAdams, JFK Facts, and "Moderation"
#5
That was one of the comments I made, and it got through.

I said I understand that Morley is trying to engage the other side.

But the other side does not usually debate fairly or honestly. And I mentioned a couple of times where McAdams had done this. For instance, with Gary Rowell's letter to Slawson about the Mexico City tapes surviving, and with Clay Shaw and Permindex. In the former, he--no surprise-- agreed with the CIA cover story that no tapes of Oswald survived after the assassination. Well, how did Slawson and Coleman hear them for the WC then? And what was Win Scott playing for them? And what did Angleton fly down and retrieve out of Scott's safe after his death?

Second, he always said that Shaw did not actually fill out the Who's Who in which he himself listed his name on the board of Permindex. Lisa proved that the person fills this out personally, not the company, since they sent her a form. But McAdams just went along on another site and repeated the cover story.

So then, McAdams says, well how can you prove he attended any meetings? The guy fills out the form saying he was a board member and then he goes to no meetings?

But beyond that, an internal Time-Life inquiry found out that Shaw was actually sent to Rome to reorganize Permindex after it was kicked out of Switzerland. This jibes with the info in the first edition of Destiny Betrayed, where I wrote that two backers of Permindex had visited Shaw in New Orleans for advice on how to get the enterprise approved. (p. 211)

Now obviously, today its hard to get those internal house records since 1.) Permindex was a private company 2.) Permindex was also then thrown out of Italy in the early sixties, 3.) There was a big controversy about the company in the press. It was fueled by the fact that one of the directors resigned because he could not figure out the origin of the huge sums of money handled by the company or figure the destination of the funds. He then recommended the company be liquidated. (ibid, p. 372) Permindex left rather than submit to government inspection.

Now, the idea that a company like that would leave its records behind for public inspection after it moved to South Africa, that is so bizarre as to be ridiculous. And McAdams knows this is the case. So he uses this just to distract and create this phony debate he loves to prolong.

BTW, a lot of these deniers have enlisted at JFK Facts to help the professor: in addition to the troll May, there is Clarke, Jean Davison and Von Pein pops in every once in awhile.

Preview: I will be doing a retrospect on Jean's book Oswald's Game soon. Its worse now than it was then. A book only Von Pein could love.
