Two New Books and a Documentary Released – Distortions of History Abound

Within the last month or so, the books, “Kennedy’s Avenger:Assassination, Conspiracy and the Forgotten Trials of Jack Ruby” by Dan Abrams and David Fisher, and “Bombshell: The Night Bobby Kennedy Killed Marilyn Monroe,” and the documentary, “JFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass” by Oliver Stone have hit the headlines. Each is packed with distortions of history and thus I am issuing a warning, be quite careful either reading the books or watching the documentary or even worse, recommending the books or the documentary to others.

Regarding Stone’s doc, one should know that every major “network” and doc distributor in the USA turned it down, including Netflix, HBO, Amazon, etc. Why because when their experts did a fact check, Stone’s research was rejected as being way below any standards for accuracy. This is no surprise, since his film “:JFK” was also very flawed. One example of this one following suit: no one with any interest in the truth can completely ignore Dorothy Kilgallen’s research, or the Jack Ruby transcripts as Stone does. Instead, he continually focuses on the ludicrous “Oswald Alone” theory or speculation that the CIA was involved in JFK’s death through Allen Dulles, both of which are contrary to the facts as presented in three of my books about the assassination after 15 years of research including the latest, “Collateral Damage.”

Regarding Abrams and Fisher’s book, the bible for what happened at the Ruby trial, as presented in my books, “Denial of Justice” and now “Collateral Damage,” is the 2000 pages of the trial transcripts. Yet, these authors ignore that testimony by doing what many of the so-called assassination “experts” do, arrive at a conclusion that will spur big time headlines and then fit the facts there instead of the other way around. In this case, they do mention Kilgallen but only on two pages regarding her interviewing Ruby at trial. That they quote from my books about her is an embarrassment to me.

Concerning “Bombshell,” once again Marilyn’s story is distorted to the extent that the facts about her life and times are ages old and based purely on speculation not primary sources. Supposedly this LA cop discovered a little known file in the police archives and so the book is based on what was in those files when the truth is that the files were flawed since they contain information very suspect for sure. And, the conclusion that RFK actually poisoned Marilyn himself is absurd, one because a coward like him, as I noted in “Collateral Damage” would never had had the guts to do so, and two, the author suggesting that Peter Lawford, a disgrace as an actor, a husband, and one who never knew the truth from fiction, actually witnessed RFK’s poisoning of Marilyn, and then confessed that he saw this happene, is pure fantasy and so misleading especially regarding having supposedly been raped a week before she died, another outrageous lie.

Here, once again, in two books and one doc, Dorothy is maligned by not being provided the respect she deserves, and re Marilyn, she is disrespected as well in “Bombshell” thus causing both women’s reputations to be tarnished. Shame on the two authors and on Stone, the books should be thrown in the trash and the doc destroyed before it poisons the minds of those who want to know the truth about the JFK assassination
