Is THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH AN UNDER-RATED BOOK? Should we be doing more to promote it?

IS THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH an underrated book? Should more to be done to promote it?

Hello,one of my very first JFK books ON THE ASSASSINATION that I read was The 2003 edition of The Man Who Knew Too Much.*

The first three pages kind of draw the reader in. eh?*

This book certainly made me curious about a lot of stuff. Do people think it should be more widely known? To me it seems unjust that its sales are so low.

Along similar lines, you know what other marketing reality similarly irks me? THE FACT THAT THERE IS STILL NOW KINDLE EDITION OF Breach of Trust!! Now that book is so important for the 50th because it isolates on the WC alone, and its case rock solid, to some extent, because of this more limited focus. In many ways it is a perfect first book and it is by a historian, which is a good marketing point in a field strewn with so much disinformation.

We should take all actions to demand a kindle edition on Amazon and really let way more people know about this all over the political spectrum.

TMWKTM is one of the very best JFK books, by a great researcher/writer and within it lays out a picture of the amazing complexity of the plot/players, the many who had foreknowledge, that the Soviets were aware of [but apparently trying to STOP] the plot....and more. Yes, the book should be promoted wherever possible, but it is not 'light' reading and is somewhat confusing to those not steeped in JFK research lore...but totally readable by a newbee, despite this. Russel's follow-up chapter on the suspicious death and disappearance of Nagel's 'safety stash' in his later book of articles is also important - as a finale to the story. I'm for promoting the book in any way possible. What % of people are now reading ebooks v. paper books? There is also your method of positive reviews on amazon et al.

1. Not in my reading club.

2. Yes -- and we have every right to expect Russell to contribute.

[Jim DiEugenio]

Its incredible that there is no Kindle edition of Breach of Trust.

IMO, its one of the best books ever on the case.

[Charles Drago]

Indeed it is.

A query re Nagell's i.d. on Jim's Destiny thread followed by Nathaniel's cite of Russell's Man Who II as well as Jim's reference to John Newman Oswald and the CIA II plus my pleasure to have read George Michael Evica's A Certain Arrogance II (wherein II denotes a Second Edition or in textese, SE).

And Charles frequently in the past has said, must it be either or, or, mightn't it be both and.

Gerald D. McKnight, Breach of Trust: How the Warren Commission Failed the Nation and Why, has a string of pearls in proofs of complicity in coverup at the highest level.

Oswald is so not guilty.

I distilled:

Question: (A)"What is the ONE main item of evidence (ie Magic bullet etc.) that convinces you that JFK was assassinated as the result of a CONSPIRACY?

Answer in one hundred fifty (150) words:

Dr. Morton S. Mason, director of the Dallas County Criminal Laboratoroy, had processed Oswald's paraffin casts. Dr. Mason's report on the cast of Oswald's right cheek showed no trace of nitrates.

The casts were tested by the Atomic Energy Commission's Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the findings were negative, consistent with Dallas Dr. Morton Mason's testing results reported November 23, 1963.

Testing at Oak Ridge of the rifle allegedly used disclosed that every time the Mannlicher-Carcano was fired the paraffin tests showed positive for barium and antimony, gunpowder residues, on the test shooter's hands and right cheek.

FBI firearms expert Cortland Cunningham's protestations that the "chamber of the Mannlicher-Carcano was so tightly sealed that it prevented any blowback" to the contrary notwithstanding.

If Oswald did not fire the gun, there is no lone gunman; QED there is conspiracy.

Gerald D. McKnight, Breach of Trust, pages 209-212, notes 77-85, pages 422-3.

Jim Garrison brought the only case in the murder of the president and his alleged assassin. Jim DiEugenio showed how valid was the case, and how its validity was so dangerous to CIA, that agency mounted the most vigorous domestic operation known. CIA validated Garrison.

Evica shows the long-established hand of intelligence--just one example to go with McKnight's exoneration of Oswald: Oswald's use of the intelligence portal Albert Schweitzer College, part of the web used by the Dulles brothers.

Russell's Man Who, Nagell, light's up the opposition in the Looking Glass War as tracking Oswald yet not acting to interfere. Making Nagell think it (KGB) wanted to stop the assassination--just as Sturgis in 1986 claimed KGB sent an Oswald double to assassinate JFK (a double lie).

John Newman, as Jim points out, painstakingly picks out the hand of Angleton and his SOG in manipulating the file legend.

Hillary, who went to Burma as Afghanismack back-up, demands of Bengauzey, what difference does it make at this point.

For whom did CIA agents facilitate certain events a half century ago and last Fall and in the first year of the New Millenium and at other times.

Is the Kennedy assassination a single-serve, single-dose package marked for retail sale, and why is its universal application denied even as the CIA files on George Joannides are denied.

Allen Dulles says no one reads; only professors. Now, everyone reads, except the odd professor.

We may bring to light all the treasure of the beach patrol.

Posner and Bugliosi and The Church Lady's Sewing Circle litter.

But cannot obscure Nagell's message in a bottle.

Nagel and the Aleksei Hidell id card.

Oswald the lone nut?

Obviously not.
