Dear Global Forum Members and Readers:

05.17.2006 - Willem Jan Dankbaar, a brilliant author, interviewer, producer of movies and videos, researcher, student, writer and
my decades long friend, Originally Posted this Headline and Supporting Material about Jim Marrs who becomes a friend to both of
us.

Wim was at a very analytical and introspective point in his life having recently completed his Interviews of Jimmy Files at Illinois'
Stateville Penitentiary with Jim Marrs about Files alleging that he was the Grassy Knoll Shooter 11.22.1963 in Dealey Plaza, Dallas,
Texas who shot JFk in his right temple area. Wim then went on to both publish and produce his book and video both entitled...
FILES ON JFK.

Since then Wim has become the acknowledged World's Leading and Living Authority on the Removal of JFK and Related Subject
Matters. Wim's Body of Works are nothing less than exceptional and incredible.

Wim continues today to continually add to his Body of Works.

Those sincerely interested in the JFK Removal and Jimmy Files would be well served to study all of Wim's materials.

Willem Jan Dankbaar reflecting on something that Jim Marrs wrote.

I have always been inquisitive and wanting to know the truth about everything. I received a very good grammar school education
and published my first article and a cartoon in a 6th grade school paper. At the university, I was editorial page editor for the school
paper and went on to write professionally for several Texas newspapers. I always sought out unusual stories and ones that I felt
were important to the readers. I joined the journalism fraternity, Sigma Delta Chi, in 1965 and went through an initiation in which
I pledged to seek and report truth. Since then I have always believed that was my calling.

I personally have never felt threatened but I have had four books cancelled on me despite signed contracts plus several important
projects suddenly dropped for insignificant or no reason. As long as a person is limited in his or her audience, the powers that be
will simply ignore you. But if you are about to break into the mainstream, actions are taken. And if you really start to impact on
the nation...well, just ask Dr. Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy what happens to you.

Journalists take a cue from their superiors and today the major media is owned and controlled by one of about four multinational
corporations. For example, the NBC TV network is almost half owned by General Electric, a major defense contractor. The people
at the top obviously would not like honest reporting on the latest war as it might affect the profit line. This attitude trickles down
to the lowest reporter, who quickly learns to stick to safe topics if they want to keep their job and retirement. Historians mostly work
for universities and here too they face loss of job and are attacked by their peers if they veer too far from orthodoxy. These universities
are largely subsidized by grants from the major corporations which discourages any deviation from conventional thinking that might
upset these donors.

I see very little difference between a journalist and a historian other than the journalist probes current events while the historian
studies the past. Both should look behind the conventional accounts presented by the victors and spin doctors and seek the truth
of both history and current events.

I consider myself more of a reporter than a researcher, although often I have been forced to do some original research. First, I study
everything I can lay my hands on concerning a topic, no matter what the source. Secondly, I evaluate this information and it soon
becomes evident which information is well founded and which is mere speculation or theory. I then write about the topic with more
weight given to the best documented evidence. But I also include the fringe evidence, usually with a caveat such as "Some researchers
contend that..." I was taught, and I believe, that the reader should make up his or her own mind. It is not my place to tell anyone how
to think. But no matter how brilliant a person may be, if they are operating on incomplete or erroneous information, they cannot be
expected to make a correct decision on any matter.

this Headline and Post of Wim's.

I think that newer JFK Forum Members would be well served in their analysis of you and your internal compass by reading this if they
haven't.
