  1. "Peter Salmon said" By: Peter Salmon

    Peter Salmon said, "In Edward Hower's article 'Reviewing books', he explains how he doesn't trash books in his reviews, saying 'Not I. If I can't find at least something to like in a book's first twenty or thirty pages, I send it right back, so another reviewer can try it' (p.26). Unfortunately for me, and any other poor sap who bought Nicholas Mosley's Assassins, we can't just send the book back to the publisher. We bought it for the cover price of $12.95, and say to ourselves, 'Hey...they should've given me $12.95 just for reading the first chapter.' "

    Peter Salmon said, "On the book's very first page, a title is given for all the comments from big-time books reviewers, 'Praise for Assassins'. Here they describe this book, 'thoroughly imagined', 'an adroitly organized political thriller', and 'a cocoon of dismay and terror'. It is not these descriptions that I disagree with. In fact the thrilling plot is what counteracts Mosley's childish style. Set in England during the mid-sixties, the daughter of Sir Simon Mann, England's Foreign Secretary, stumbles upon a young assassin. The assassin takes Mann's daughter, who interrupts his deadly plans, and locks her in an abandoned cottage away from her home. When let loose to be part of a grander plot, she hides her fateful knowledge, unaware of everyone's outcome."

    Peter Salmon said, "Maybe you are wondering why each paragraph begins with 'Peter Salmon said'. It is my way of satirizing Mosley's monotonous and childlike style. What makes me want to pull my hair out is the fact that every quotation is begun with the word 'said'. I found three instances (and yes I did count) when he did not use 'said'. Along with this, for many characters, he did not give names. He simply regarded them as 'the man with...'. When these two styles are put together on the same page, it is twice as annoying than having just one."

    Peter Salmon said, "If you think you may be interested in this book, I beg you to go to a bookstore and read page 52. If you can tolerate Mosley's style for that one page, then you are certainly one of a kind."

1 comments about The Assassination of John F. Kennedy (Cornerstones of Freedom).
  1. Let's examine the LENGTHS to which many rabid JFK conspiracy theorists will go in their crazy attempts at allowing Lee Harvey Oswald to get away with the two murders he so obviously committed on 11/22/63.....

    --------------------------------------------------------------

    1.) Eyewitness Howard Brennan sees Lee Harvey Oswald shoot at President John F. Kennedy with a rifle. Plus: Brennan provided a decent "Oswald-like" description in his 11/22/63 affidavit....and this wouldn't even take into account the 12:44 PM APB description put out by J. Herbert Sawyer of the Dallas Police just minutes after the shooting.

    So you can toss out that 12:44 description if you want to think it WASN'T provided by Howard Brennan. That STILL leaves Brennan's 11/22 affidavit, which says:

    "He was a white man in his early 30s, slender, nice looking, and would weigh about 165 to 175 pounds."


    THE KOOK RESPONSE ("KR"): Brennan is totally unreliable. .... Or: His eyesight sucks. ... He was coerced into identifying Oswald. ... He wasn't even looking up at the sixth floor at the time of the last shot. ... He described the wrong clothing. ... He couldn't possibly have seen Oswald well enough to give a positive I.D. through a half-open window (DVP interjection: even though Brennan did positively identify two of the black men situated just one floor below the sniper).


    2.) Lee Oswald's very own rifle is found on the 6th Floor of the TSBD just 52 minutes after JFK's assassination.


    KR: That rifle probably was "planted" there by dastardly, unknown, unseen conspirators of some ilk. .... Or: It wasn't really Oswald's rifle up on the 6th Floor at all. Instead, a Mauser rifle was found.


    3.) Oswald's palmprint is found on his rifle the day of the assassination (per J.C. Day of the DPD):

    "Your No. 637 is the right palm of Oswald." -- J.C. Day; To WC

    That print was lifted off the gun barrel by Day himself before the rifle was turned over to the FBI on the night of 11/22/63.


    KR: The palmprint was either "planted" there by the Feds or the DPD after Oswald was killed (with a print taken from Oswald in the morgue, no less). .... Or: The print was never really lifted off of the weapon by J.C. Day as he stated to the WC, meaning that Day (along with a cast of hundreds more), was part of a "Let's Frame LHO" plot.


    4.) Bullet CE399 (fired from Oswald's Carcano rifle "to the exclusion of all other weapons") is found inside the very same hospital where both victims of the shooting were taken, proving beyond virtually every shred of a doubt that Oswald's gun fired that bullet into either Jack Kennedy's or John Connally's body on 11/22/63.


    KR: CE399 was "planted" in the hospital by another of the faceless, nameless plotters who overtook Dallas that November day. No WAY that bullet could have been inside a victim on Nov. 22! And that "SBT" stuff is nonsense too (in case that's next on David's laundry list)!


    5.) Bullet shells from Oswald's rifle ("to the exclusion" again) are found directly under the same window from where Oswald himself was seen firing a gun at JFK's car.


    KR: Those shells were "planted" there by the DPD. Well, at least ONE of them was planted/faked anyway. (It's a PLANT FESTIVAL in Dallas, circa 1963!)


    6.) An empty paper sack, generally matching the type Oswald was seen carrying to work on 11/22 by two witnesses, is found under the very same window in the Sniper's Nest from where Lee Oswald was seen firing a gun at JFK. The sack has two of Oswald's prints on it.


    KR: That paper sack was "planted" there by the DPD. It's obvious! It wasn't even photographed by Studebaker or Day! So it COULDN'T have been there when the Nest was first discovered! To hell with those prints of LHO's on the bag! They're fake too. It's obvious. The cops planted the bag, then ran around and (somehow) got Oswald's palmprint and fingerprint and then "planted" the prints on the fake bag. It's kid stuff! (If you're a kook maybe.)


    7.) Oswald is seen by multiple witnesses murdering policeman J.D. Tippit approx. 45 minutes after JFK was shot from right in front of Oswald's workplace (a location Oswald fled within three minutes of the JFK shooting, even though he had no permission to leave work that early).


    KR: Oswald never shot Officer Tippit! A nicely-arranged "Oswald Double" killed Tippit. It's obvious, for God's sake! Oswald couldn't have even been there in time to plug Tippit! (Despite various re-constructions that show the trip was certainly a doable one by anybody whose legs weren't in casts.)


    8.) Oswald's very own .38 revolver is determined to be the weapon that gunned down Tippit, via the four spent shells that littered the crime scene (shells that were ejected--by hand--from Oswald's revolver BY OSWALD HIMSELF, per multiple eyewitnesses to this post-shooting activity).


    KR: Those bullet shells were "planted" by the DPD. It's obvious, you goof! An "automatic" weapon killed Tippit.


    9.) Approximately a dozen witnesses in total identified Lee Harvey Oswald as either Tippit's LONE killer, or as the LONE MAN who fled the scene of the crime near 10th Street and Patton Avenue (with a gun in hand, dumping shells along the way).


    KR: Those witnesses are all wrong! TWO guys did the Tippit job! Acquilla Clemons confirms this. Who are ya gonna believe -- Acquilla (who didn't even see the actual shooting as it was happening)? Or are ya gonna believe Davis, Davis, Scoggins, Markham, Tatum, Callaway, Benavides, Patterson, etc., etc.?


    10.) Oswald tells one lie after another to the police after he was arrested in the Texas Theater (following a wild fight, in which Oswald attempts to kill more cops).

    He lies when he tells police he has "never owned a rifle"; and he lies about the "curtain rod" tale he told Wesley Frazier; and he also lies like a cheap rug about many, many other things which connect him to the Tippit/Kennedy murders.

    And Lee Harvey also lies when trying to establish his alibi for the JFK shooting ("I had lunch with Junior" {Jarman} in the lunchroom at the time JFK was shot, he told one police officer....even though "Junior" was photographed on the 5th Floor at 12:30 exactly).


    KR: We don't have any idea WHAT Oswald told the cops....because they never recorded his statements. Which HAS to mean he's innocent...because ALL the cops who said he was saying these lies cannot be trusted because...er...um...well, because I SAY THEY CAN'T BE TRUSTED. So there!

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Many additional things could easily be added to the above 10-item list. But I think you probably get the idea. That idea being: The conspiracy-loving kooks of the world just DO NOT WANT LEE HARVEY OSWALD TO BE GUILTY OF THESE 1963 MURDERS.

    Simple as that. It's crazy (given the evidence saying they're dead wrong) -- but simple.
