::The thrust of ''The Death of James Forrestal'' by Cornell Simpson is that he was killed by Communist elements, probably including Niles at the White House. (Niles helped Truman get support for the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan and NATO to fight Communism). Other conspiracy theorists argue Forrestal was killed by Zionist elements, probably including Niles at the White House. (actually Forrestal had left office and was in a mental hospital, and was not in a policy role at all.)

Revision as of 04:27, July 6, 2009
The original text inadevertently uses antisemitic sources and takes an anti-Israel line.
It quotes a Venona source that says staffers under Niles will take a bribe but they don't know if Niles will take a bribe. Communist agents don't need bribes to do their dirty work. RJJensen 22:41, 5 July 2009 (EDT)
- Western Islands Publishers? Have any more sources or information to back support that? TY. Rob Smith 23:27, 5 July 2009 (EDT)
- Amazon.com reports that Western Islands is the publisher of
The Blue Book of the John Birch Society (now in 21st edition)
as well as Welch's Life of John Birch http://www.amazon.com/life-John-Birch-Robert-Welch/dp/B000NXTHHQ/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1246851583&sr=1-12

- The Blue Book is a transcript of the organizations founding meeting according to several sources. Western Islands also published McCarthy's Retreat From Victory, Benjamin Gitlow's The Whole of Their Lives, Charles Willoughby's Shanghai Conspiracy, and host of others from that period.

- oh, and Ralph de Toladano's Seeds of Treason on the Chambers-Hiss affair. Rob Smith 23:59, 5 July 2009 (EDT)
