Dear JFK RFK MLK Forum Members and Readers:
"THE ASSASSINATION OF JAMES FORRESTAL" by David Martin, 2019 by David Martin/McCabe Publishing, is a book I have just started re-reading and I am throwing out this wide net to hopefully generate some intelligent discussion about James Vincent Forrestal, and his closest confident when he was "suicided" - John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
In the past, I have argued, spoken and written, that I believe and support the statements that both the removal of James Vincent Forrestal and John Fitzgerald Kennedy are inextricably linked !
This is a phenomenal book that takes as its overall trajectory the developing plots and factors as seen and understood prospectively and retrospectively from many infallible source, of the "Deep State" as it was constituted and developed Post WW II.
Some students of JFK Research may recall that Bethesda Hospital was referred to in the past as "The CIA Hospital."
Allegedly at least one of JFK's Revisionist Autopsies was performed there. David Lipton has done tremendous research and writing on this overall Subject Matter.
In addition, allegedly this is the believed real life Transformation and Treatment Center for the CIA and many Dark Op's, including certainly Brain Washing, torture, etc., pre-Guantanamo Bay, Cuba "Medical Practices."
More than one source confided in me that Bethesda Hospital was the alleged back-drop for the world famous transformation of David Webb - to - Jason Bourne.
As always, I strongly recommend that you first read, research, and study material completely yourself about a Subject Matter, and then formulate your own Opinions and Theories.
Any additional analyses, interviews, investigations, readings, research, studies, thoughts, or writings on any aspect of this Subject Matter ?
Bear in mind that we are trying to attract and educate a Whole New Generation of JFK Researchers
who may not be as well versed as you.
Comments ?
Respectfully,
BB.

One thing for sure he didn’t jump out of the window to commit suicide
James Forrestal
James Vincent Forrestal, the son of an Irish immigrant, was born in Matteawan, New York on 15th February 1892. After attending local schools he joined the Matteawan Journal at the age of sixteen. He also worked as a reporter on the Mount Vernon Argus before becoming city editor on the Poughkeepsie News Press.
Aware that progress would be slow without a college education, in 1912 he went to Princeton University. Three years later Forrestal left Princeton without getting a degree and went to work for the New York World.
In 1916 Forrestal joined the banking firm Dillon, Read & Company as a bond salesman in New York. The following year he moved to Canada where he joined the Royal Flying Corps. By 1918 he qualified as a pilot but did not see active service in the First World War.
After the war Forrestal returned to Dillon, Read & Company. Progress was rapid. He was appointed head of the New York office's sales department and in 1923 was a partner in the firm. Three years later he became vice-president and in 1938, when he was forty-six years old, he became its president.
In 1940 Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed Forrestal as one of his advisers. His duties included working as a liaison officer between the president, the Treasury Department and other governmental financial agencies. Roosevelt was impressed with Forrestal and in August 1940 he was appointed under secretary of the navy with special responsibility for procurement and production. In 1941 Forrestal went to London to negotiate the Lend-Lease agreement.
When William Knox died on 23rd April 1944, Forrestal became the new Secretary of the Navy. In this post he visited the Pacific three times and Europe twice and watched the D-Day landings in June, 1944. Forrestal held the post until September 1947 when he became Secretary of Defence.
After the war Forrestal became associated with the campaign against communism. This upset liberals in Washington who still believed it was possible to develop good relations with Joseph Stalin and the Soviet Union. In September 1946 he joined with James F. Byrnes to get Henry Wallace sacked after he made a speech calling for an end to the Cold War.
In 1948 the journalist Drew Pearson revealed in his newspaper column that during the 1930s Forrestal had been guilty of tax evasion and share manipulation. Other journalists made claims that Forrestal had owned shares in large companies in Nazi Germany and had used his influence to stop the bombing of German cities during the Second World War.
Harry S. Truman was unhappy with Forrestal's performance as Secretary of Defence and on 28th March 1949 forced him to resign from office. Soon afterwards, Forrestal, suffering from depression, was admitted to Bethesda Hospital. On 22nd May 1949 James Forrestal committed suicide by throwing himself out of a 16th-floor hospital window
