Came across this while looking for something else, had never heard of it before. Sorry if it's a repeat.<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://boodleboys.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_boodleboys_archive.html">boodleboys.blogspot.com/2...chive.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>The Strange Tale of Eugene Dinkin<br>by Robert Mitchell<br><br><br>The amazing facts contained in the following F.B.I. document, which we are reprinting in full, are true. Dinkin’s story has been verified through the existence of cablegrams between the CIA’s Geneva and Washington offices, both before and after the Kennedy assassination. Careful examination of those cablegrams, as well as other documents, reveal that the CIA actively tried to cover-up the fact that prior to November 22, 1963 PFC Dinkin was attempting to reveal the existence of a plot to assassinate Kennedy. The cablegrams also, reveal that efforts were made to silence Dinkin and suppress the story.<br><br>Following the assassination, published reports revealed that someone had advance information of the assassination and the Warren Commission requested to be furnished documents relative to the allegation. In a secret memo to J. Lee Rankin, Chief Council of the Warren Commission, CIA Deputy Director Richard Helms states, “Immediately AFTER the assassination (our source in) Geneva, Switzerland reported allegations concerning a plot to assassinate President Kennedy were made by PFC Eugene Dinkin, U.S. Army, on 6 and 7 November. 1963.” But Helms appeared to be withholding the fact that the Agency had knowledge of Dinkin’s allegations prior to the assassination.<br><br>One of the cablegrams, titled “IN CABLE No. 56631, dated November 7 1963.” reported on Dinkin’s background and allegations of a plot. At the end of the cable, Geneva asked: “DIRECTOR: Advise any action desired. Will continue to monitor developments via army attaché, FBI, Geneva contacts, but will not become involved vis-à-vis Swiss unless so directed.” Thus, the CIA and others in the intelligence community had full knowledge of Dinkin’s assertions prior to the assassination.<br><br>Evidence abounds that the cables were weighted with subliminal suggestions, designed to give a predisposition to the notion that PFC Dinkin was mentally unstable. For example, cablegrams tend to be written in short, choppy sentences, often including abbreviations, omitting articles, and avoiding adjectives. However, when Dinkin is referred to, adjectives are freely added, intending to imply that Dinkin was a crackpot. “IN CABLE 56631 dated November 16. 1963 refers to Dinkin’s “Wild but amazing coincidence …” and states that Dinkin “… had given his wild story in Souisee”(Switzerland). Later, it states that a Time-Life stringer “… RECOLLECTED. OR THOUGHT SHE RECOLLECTED TALE TOLD BY SUBJ.” This wording subtly-throws a shadow of doubt on the corroborating reporter. Dinkin is further referred to as “unbalanced” on two separate occasions in this one, short cable.<br><br>Evidence that the CIA tried to suppress the story and keep it from coming to the attention of the Secret Service, also, emerges. In early cable communications, pertinent facts are conspicuously absent, thus carefully suppressed. Coupled with evidence that the cables were weighted in an obvious attempt to discredit Dinkin indicates that the C. I. A. was trying to cover up the matter prior to the Kennedy assassination in an effort to silence the many who were attempting to expose the plot. But for the two journalists in Geneva, the story might never have surfaced.<br><br>The shocking tale of what happened to Eugene Dinkin following his revelations has finally come to light. It includes frame up, false arrest and imprisonment, unlawful medical treatment, and medical malpractice. Dinkin has also suffered libel and misrepresentation at the hands of the Government.<br><br>Mr. Eugene B. Dinkin, 534 West Oakdale, Chicago. Illinois, advised that he had been recently discharged from the United States Army after having been in detention for four months while undergoing psychiatric tests. Dinkin advised that while stationed in Europe with the U.S. Army in 1963, he had begun a review of several newspapers including the Stars and Stripes as an exercise in psychological sets. He explained that he had taken courses in psychology at college and was extremely interested in this subject matter. He advised that psychological sets was a term referring to a series of events, articles, etcetera which, when coupled together, set up or induce a certain frame of mind on the part of a person being exposed to the series. He stated that this method of implanting an idea was much in use by the Madison Avenue advertising people who attempted to influence one who was expos- ed to these psychological sets to buy the product being advertised, whether this produce was physical or an idea.<br><br>Dinkin stated that while so reviewing the newspapers for psychological sets he discovered that Stars and Stripes, as well as certain unidentified Hearst newspapers, were carrying a series of psychological sets which he believed were deliberately maneuvered to set up a subconscious belief on the part of one reading these papers to the effect that President John F. Kennedy was soft on communism or perhaps a communist sympathizer. Further study of these newspapers and the psychological sets contained therein made it evident to Mr. Dinkin that a conspiracy was in the making by the military of the United States, perhaps combined with an ultra-right economic group, to make the people of the United States believe that President Kennedy was, in fact, a communist sympathizer and further, that this same group planned to assassinate the President and thus was preparing these psychological sets to pave the way for this assassination to the point where the average citizen might well feel that President Kennedy was sympathetic to communism and should have been killed. In addition, Dinkin believed the psychological sets were adjusted to present a subliminal predisposition to the effect that a communist would assassinate President Kennedy.<br><br>Dinkin advised that he discussed his theories with certain individuals stationed with him in the Army, but had declined to furnish this information to persons of authority in the United States Army since he believed that the plot against President Kennedy was being set in motion by high-ranking members of the military. He said that in October 1963, his research had not, in fact, reflected a certain date, but that he believed the assassination would take place on or about a religious or semi-religious occasion which he felt would be picked by the group behind this plot in order that the murder itself would become even more reprehensible to the average citizen because of the religious connotations, since he believed that the plot consisted in part of throwing blame for the assassination onto radical left-wing or communist suspects, he stated that the religious tie-in would lead the average citizen to accept more readily the theory that a communist committed the crime since they were an atheistic group anyway.<br><br>Dinkin advised that he had been in trouble with the officers of his military group, the 599th Ordinance Group stationed in Germany, due to his refusal to purchase United States savings bonds. He stated that he was against the enforced purchase of these bonds because of his political convictions which made him believe that the United States should not spend 52 per cent of its income for material of war, part of which would be financed by any enforced purchases made by him. He stated that he had been outspoken in his views concerning these bond purchases, and that he and others who felt that compulsory purchase of bonds was an infringement on their civil rights, had been denied passes as a result of their stand.<br><br>As a result of his opposition to the bond purchases, according to Dinkin, he was removed from his position in the code section and transferred to an Army Depot at Metz. France. On October 25, 1963, Dinkin went to the United States Embassy at Luxembourg where, he stated, he attempted for several hours so see a Mr. Cunningham, the Charge D”Affaires at the Embassy. He stated that he sent word to Mr. Cunningham that he had information concerning a plot to assassinate President Kennedy, and at one point spoke to Mr. Cunningham by phone. He said that Cunningham refused to see him in person or to review the newspapers and research papers, which Dinkin said were evidence proving his theory of the impending assassination. Dinkin advised that he spent approximately two hours with the United States Marine Corps guard at the Luxembourg Embassy and had generally set forth his theories to this individual, whose name he did not know.<br><br>Following this incident, Dinkin was notified by his superiors that he was to undergo psychiatric evaluation on November 5, 1963. Due to this pending development, Dinkin said he went absent without leave to Geneva Switzerland, where he attempted to present his theory to the editor of the Geneva Diplomat, a newspaper published in Geneva. Switzerland. In addition to this editor, Dinkin spoke to a Mr. Dewhirst (phonetic), a Newsweek reporter based at Geneva. Dewhirst would not listen to Dinkin’s theories. While in Switzerland,<br><br>Dinkin attempted to contact officials of Time-Life publications and succeeded in speaking to the secretary, name unknown, of this organization in Zurich. According to Dinkin, all of his efforts in Luxembourg and Switzerland were made to present to appropriate officials his warning of the impending assassination of President Kennedy. He stated that he did not attempt to see these people in connection with his personal dissatisfaction with the program of the United States Army in regards to bond purchases.<br><br>When he was unable to accomplish his purpose in Switzerland, Dinkin advised that he then returned to Germany where he gave himself up to the custody of the military authorities.<br><br>Dinkin advised that he first became aware of this plot to assassinate President Kennedy in September. 1963. At first, he did not have enough facts, as taken from the newspapers, to support his theory, but as of October 16. 1963, he felt that his research into the psychological sets had substantiated his theory. As of October 16. 1963 he wrote a registered letter to Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy in which letter he set forth his theory that President Kennedy would be assassinated, adding that he believed that this assassination would occur on or about November 28. 1963. He stated that he signed this letter with his own name, and requested he be interviewed by a representative of the Justice Department. He said that on the envelope, he placed the return address name of PFC Dennis De Witt an Army friend. He said he did this to preclude anyone from intercepting this letter since he felt that Army authorities might well be censoring his mail. He stated that he never received any answer to this letter, nor was he ever contacted by any representative of the Justice Department prior to his interview with agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.<br><br>Dinkin advised that on his return to the custody of the United Sates Army in November 1963, he was held in detention. While in detention, he stated he was contacted by a white male who identified himself verbally as a representative of the Defense Department. This individual asked Dinkin for the location of the newspapers, which Dinkin had compiled as his proof of the theory of the assassination of President Kennedy. This individual stated that he desired to obtain these proofs and would furnish Dinkin a receipt for the papers. Dinkin advised that he instructed this individual as to where the papers were located at the base, at which point this man left. Dinkin advised that on his release from detention, he discovered that all of his papers and notes were missing and presumed that the individual mentioned above had taken them. He never received any receipt for his papers.<br><br>Mr. Dinkin advised that he had undergone numerous psychiatric tests at Walter Reed Army Hospital in Washington. D.C. He stated that he was aware that the Army psychiatrist had declared him to be psychotic and a “paranotic.” He said that several of the tests given him were familiar to him from his studies in psychology at the University of Chicago. Because of his familiarity with these tests, and his background knowledge as to what the test answers should be, he believed it impossible that the results of these tests could have shown him to be psychotic and “paranotic.” He stated that: if he had desired, he could have faked the answers to prove he was sane even if he were, in fact, mentally disturbed. Mr. Dinkin stated he believed that the psychiatric evaluation given him by the Army psychiatrist was, in fact, and attempt on their part to cover up the military plot, which he had attempted to expose.<br><br>Dinkin advised that during his detention at Walter Reed Army Hospital, arrangements had been made through his family for him to be given a psychiatric test by a private psychiatrist chosen by his family. He stated when these arrangements were finally made; he had declined the services of this private physician. Dinkin explained that he had reached a point where his only desire was to be released from custody and discharged from the Army. He stated that in order to do this, he had felt it necessary to “go along” with the examining Army psychiatrist and pretend that he had, in fact, been suffering from delusions but was now cured. He was afraid that if an outside psychiatrist should examine him and be told by Dinkin the facts as set forth herein, that this psychiatrist would probably believe Dinkin to be mentally disturbed, and this would result in further detention. Mr. Dinkin stated that he was well aware that his theory and the facts surrounding his attempts to bring the theory to the proper authorities was extremely wild and could be construed by a person untrained in psychology to be crazy. Despite this, Mr. Dinkin advised he was still of the belief that there had been, in fact, a plot perpetrated by a military group in the United States and aided and abetted by newspaper personnel working with this military group, which plot had to do with the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.<br><br><br>-YIPster Times, Jan/Feb. 1977<br><br><br> <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=chiggerbit@rigorousintuition>chiggerbit</A> at: 6/13/06 2:14 pm<br></i>
