The above response to my posting was WAY, WAY better thought through than my own posting was to start with. I admit I'm groping my way along in trying to thoroughly understand the JFK murder. Since my posting was admittedly over-the-top, all I can say is many thanks for Mr. Dagosto for bringing my thinking more into focus.
The posting, then the dissent are like the two blades of a scissors. You need both to cut through these historical issues. Thanks for your patience.
The big picture, for me, is this: (1) you start with the intense desire by RFK to work for the McCarthy Committee in 1953 and (2) you end up with Edward M. Kennedy who was the gold standard for Liberalism in the 1970,s and up to the 21st century. How did this extreme transition take place? This, in a nutshell, may be the whole story of 60 years of American history.
I am still puzzling over the libel issue. How could you prove malicious intent in libeling a dead President? Maybe if someone was also caught throwing empty beer bottles at Mount Rushmore!!! (Just kidding). Another interesting question is whether accusing a person of libel without any basis whatever could itself be considered libel? Something internet gurus might puzzle over.
For my next read, I'm starting "Hitler's Crusade: Bolshevism, the Jews and the Myth of Conspiracy" by Lorna Waddington (2012). Maybe I'll get better information about the Hitler movement relative to other things.
I'm also trying to figure out how to get a copy of The Skorzeny Papers by Ganis without being put on a waiting list.
If anyone has successfully received their copy, I would be interested to know.
