Any merit to Simkins "suite 8F" theory ?

[Jim DiEugenio]

So you guys think im here to sow doubt and disrupt the forum ?

Thats interesting cause i was over at Salon ranting against Sunstein and his beliefs.

Youre overeacting. I didnt say anything terrible here.

Steve, the Suite 8F theory is a bunch of baloney. It is about as sophisticated and relevant as Simkin's view of who JFK was and why he was killed.

One thing to remember about the JFK case: The cover up was planned with the conspiracy. This is what Mexico City was all about.

Now, what did Trafficante and Marcello have to do with Mexico City? What did Suite 8F have to do with Mexico City?

Or for that matter, with Sylvia Odio? Or with Richard Case Nagell? Or with Gary Underhill?

To me, the Mafia, and this suite 8F business is nothing but a diversion. After 50 years, I am not willing to be coopted by diversions.

If you go to CTKA.net, you will see a list of the ten best book on JFK. Those ten books are worth a list of 300 books i could compile. And, in fact, from what i have seen of what is coming up, they are worth ten times as much as the sum total coming down the pike for the 5oth.

By the way, to find out who JFK was, and just how he had broken with the Power Elite, take a look at a completely ignored book called Betting on the Africans. Its been completely ignored. And I can understand why. It takes up where the all important JFK:Ordeal in Africa leaves off.

Try and imagine Ike, Nixon or LBJ doing anything like what is outlined in this book for the Third World.

I've heard that there are remote villages in Africa where people still have photos of JFK inside their huts.
Helen Caldicott wrote in Missile Envy, "Years later, when my husband and I visited Iran in 1974, we discovered to our amazement that pictures of Jack Kennedy adorned almost every shop window."

If you read this book, you will understand why.

I am going to be writing about it at CTKA.

I will wager this will be the only detailed review the book gets.

I already understand why.

One thing to remember about the JFK case: The cover up was planned with the conspiracy. This is what Mexico City was all about.

I think this is possibly the most concise and eloquent summary I've ever read on the JFK case. If it is possible to initiate, within three sentences, one who is unfamiliar with the case, then this quotation ought to be framed and hung in Dealey Plaza.

[Jim DiEugenio]

Thanks Martin.

I got that from a guy who was very close to the people involved.

In my upcoming book, Reclaiming Parkland, you will see how Waldron went spastic when I brought John Newman's ideas and evidence about the part Mexico City played in the plot.

[Anthony Thorne]

I thought Newman's recent work on Oswald in Mexico (which he included as an epilogue or postcript or afterword in the paperback reprint of OSWALD AND THE CIA) was very detailed and convincing. If Newman has more work coming out in the future on the JFK assassination (and someone either here or at EF suggested recently that he did) it will be very welcome.

I expect Waldron would get shitty about anything that leans towards the truth on this subject.

[Jim DiEugenio]

LOL, yep.

I didn't know John had something else coming out. That is great if he is.

I really praise his work to the nth degree in the Afterword of Reclaiming Parkland.
