Amazon has a book by Richard Gilbride called:
Matrix for Assassination: The JFK Conspiracy

While the reviews of this book are generally positive (I don’t know of any Pro CT book that doesn’t have generally positive reviews), there was one review by a dcpurcell which said:

Quote
If this didn't have a chapter on UFO's and JFK that totally undermines its credibility as far as I'm concerned I'd have more respect for this book. Some of the chapters, especially on Marilyn Monroe, has apparently new and ground breaking information. Then when I got to the chapter on UFO's it went off the wall. This is why people call JFK researchers 'wackos' and so forth. It talks about moon colonies and alien treaties and JFK viewing UFO's and alien bodies. I tried and went through every JFK biography and reference I could and there was nothing to back up any reference he made specifically to JFK and UFO's. So I have to assume he made it up.
If you can't believe one thing then what else is false? So even the chapters I thought might be true or plausible I'm double-checking against other references. I believe that a conspiracy murdered JFK but I don't believe every bit of garbage that's thrown out there.
I do like facts. I don't like a steady stream of unknown sources and documents that can't be verified or referenced. Just a shred of credibility, please.

This review was clearly written by a CTer, who liked 90% of the book, but could not accept the chapter on UFOs.

Is this review accurate? JFK viewed UFO’s, alien bodies and reviewed alien treaties? Instead of mucking with the TSBD elevator, they could have used alien technology to use a space elevator to whisk anyone out of that building.

I wonder what would be the terms of a treaty made with aliens. So much to learn.

Our treaty with the 'aliens' is still extant........ we're their version of our 'sit-coms' on TV, going back decades, I might add+  hardee-har-har....

I wonder if JFK was assassinated not because he objected to our treaty with the aliens, but because he insisted that in order to be valid, it must be ratified by the full senate. But with all the blabbermouths there, all secrecy would be blown if this was done.

At any rate, no problem getting rid of aliens; just broadcast Slim Whitman's music.

Yes. On the Voyager 1 and 2, instead of putting on the Golden Record the music of Bach, Mozart, Beethoven and Chuck Berry, they should have just gone with Slim Whitman. It would help protect us and clear the road for future space exploration.

But I would like to learn more about this alien treaty. Is there any video of Eisenhower getting off a plane at a military base holding up a piece of paper and declaring peace in our time?

I've been busy with the election, and haven't read this thread for about a week.

Joe Elliot, who obviously hasn't read my 2009 book, critiques my credibility by referencing a reviewer, dcparnell, who states my book talks about "JFK viewing UFOs and alien bodies... there was nothing to back up any reference he specifically made... So I have to assume he made it up."

This reviewer didn't even bother to check the FOOTNOTES section at the back of the book which documents all of my sources. Lots of books and articles that aren't in the mainstream of JFK literature.

So reviewer dcparnells' mistaken impression gives Joe Elliot cause to question my credibility as to the TSBD elevator anomalies on November 22nd?

Has Joe even bothered reading any of the essays on my website about the TSBD, put together over 10+ years? Probably not.

Has Joe even bothered to read the essay that is the subject of this thread? I have to wonder.

Because it seems Joe simply wants to derail this thread and post whatever comedic irrelevancies about aliens that come to mind.

Why not discuss the specifics within The Book Depository as a Potemkin Village? Or are you even capable of that?

No, I have not read your book nor taken up wearing tin foil hats. However, it isn’t just the dcparnell who mentions the connection between you, the JFK assassination and UFO’s. A google search of:

"richard  gilbride" jfk ufo

Comes up with 1,140 results.

Question 1:

Do you deny linking the JFK assassination with ufos in any of your books?

Question 2:

Do believe the government is covering up the truth about the existence of aliens from outer space visiting the earth?

Question 3:

What do you believe is the connection between the JFK assassination and ufos?
