From Vince Salandria to Phillip Nelson: Descent into the Maelstrom

[Vasilios Vazakas]

Although we have all quoted Salandria's famous advice to Fonzi several times in the past, we hardly refer to the rest of his work.
I believe that his theory about the assassination was very close to the truth and worthy of mentioning.
While we spend pages after pages discussing shirts, Nelson's book and other wacky theories it is time to remember Salandria
and some of his important findings.

From Vincent Salandria to Phillip Nelson ...

All of us, to varying degrees, bear responsibility for this shameful descent from brilliant and courageous insight into weaponized simple-mindedness.

It sickens my heart.

The title of that post scared me, I thought it was reporting his death. He is a dear friend so my heart just stopped.

When i said remembering salandria i meant that we have forgotten his work and we need to remember his views, maybe my choise of the title was not the best of choises. I apologize if i gave the wrong impression. maybe i'll need to correct it, i think Charles comment "From Vincent Salandria to Phillip Nelson..." would be a very appropriate title, so since i am not sure how to do it, i would ask Charles or the moderators of this forum if they are kind enough to replace it.

Me too. Dang. Don't need coffee now; that gave me a jump-start.

I just got a [mass] email from him a few days ago.

I found this theme of Vincent Salandria to be truing as a lodestone, an on-board GPS advising adjustments to the helmsorely needed in the face of an anthill of mandible-munching detailists and Quixotes pursuing false sponsors:



I have been convinced that the killing of President Kennedy was a patent Cold War killing --- the bloody work of the U.S. military-intelligence system and its supporting civilian power elite.



For us to allow thirty-five years to pass, while debate rages on the subject, is not only an abdication of the required work of a democratic citizenry, but the debate itself actively serves the interests of the assassins. Such debate masks the damage done to the constitutional structure by the extra-constitutional firing of the President.



To understand fully the nature of the assassination and its coverup one has to view it from an historical perspective.

More than the political, the coup extends into the cultural and psychological, the spiritual and--put down that hamburger and listen to your government![/SIZE]

Indeed.

I believe these Salandria quotes are from his 1998 COPA speech. I've probably posted a link to it in the past, but what the hell. Here once again:

And here is a related text, the speech (also COPA 1998) of Vince's friend E. Martin Schotz:

And since I am on a roll, here is a pertinent, if not directly related, essay...James W. Douglass's article on the MLK Memphis trial:

By the way, I heard from Jim Douglass just the other day. Apparently he's got a new book out about Gandhi. The title may be Gandhi and the Unspeakable, though I'm not certain, haven't seen it, don't vouch for it, etc etc.

[I heard from him because the above-linked MLK article was somehow truncated when I uploaded it a few years ago. He asked me to fix it, and I did. The article is now there, unabridged. I'm not sure how it got screwed up. Mea culpa. He was so very nice about it. Me? I'd have been boiling.]
