".......I came across Target Patton by Robert K. Wilcox, providing some very strong evidence that the 1948 fatal car crash that claimed the life of Gen. George S. Patton was not accidental, but was instead an assassination by America’s own OSS, fore-runner of the CIA, which was then also heavily infiltrated by Soviet agents."
Although my main academic focus was theoretical physics, I always had a very strong interest in history as well, especially that of the Classical Era. Trying to extract the true pattern of events from a collection of source material that was often fragmentary, unreliable, and contradictory was a challenging intellectual exercise, testing my analytical ability. I believe I even contributed meaningfully to the field, including a short 1985 article in The Journal of Hellenic Studies that sifted the ancient sources to conclude that Alexander the Great had younger brothers whom he murdered when he came to the throne.

I picked up that book at a used bookstore some years ago. It presents an excellent case for assassination by "the peers that be"' or were, then. Patton had stated that we came to defeat one enemy only to hand over much of Germany and Eastern Europe to a worse one. He also had stated his intention to resign instead of retire and go back to the U.S. and tell what had happened to deliver millions into Communist tyranny. The motive: That could not be allowed to happen! --Ron W
ReplyDeleteEvidently. Thanks!
DeleteI was a college student in Philadelphia in 1961 and in the ROTC.
ReplyDeleteI was a member of the ROTC drill team and the NCO directing the drill team also maintained the ROTC book store. As part of the ROTC classes included WW2 history. I mentioned to the NCO that my father was with Patton's 3rd and it was a shame that Patton got killed in an auto accident. His response was that it was no accident. As it happened he was the driver for the FOD in the area that day and after the call came in about the "accident" he and the FOD took off for the location. He/they arrived just as the ambulance with Patton was leaving. His comment was that he could see why the driver lost control of the vehicle "with than many bullet holes in the vehicle the driver couldn't possible maintain control". This is 1961 and I had never heard of any other cause of Patton's injury/death associated with an assassination before. The NCO had no reason to lie to me, nothing to gain, etc. When the various movies came out about Patton's assassination I started thinking how easy it would be to coverup a real assassination with Hollywood make believe movies to cover up the actual facts.
Thanks and I hadn't heard that but I just searched and only pictures of the damaged side showed up and even on the restored car I cannot find a picture of the other side.
DeleteI meant to write, "the powers that be"....
ReplyDeleteI recall another statement by Patton when he was told that the U.S. had to consider political consequences and accommodate the Soviets. Patton's retort was something like, "let the Russians consider consequences. The only thing I consider is to ascertain how much iron and lead I will need to kill them". After relunctantly meeting with Russian Military officers, Patton remarked that they reminded him of "recently civilized Mongolian savages." --Ron W

DeleteNot a shy man. :)
Patton saw the writing on the wall and said as much. Never
ReplyDeleteunderstand why Patton was not buried in the US and BS to his
wanting to buried in Germany.
And was it not retributive justice that Franklin Roosevelt, the American President whose bombers flew in daylight with the added refinement of his fighter planes strafing fleeing German refugees, was to be incinerated beyond recognition when he stumbled into the glowing embers of his fireplace at Warm Springs in Georgia? Something else which has virtually been “stricken from the records.” Karma for the unnecessary firebombings
of Germany's great cities and its inhabitants.
And oh, yea the illegal use of phosphorous bombs, the most
macabre weapon devised.
Hadn't heard about the fireplace and this came up on a search: http://www.revisionist.net/mclaughlin/index.html
DeleteStrange, the page you have listed,Mclaughlin, is the
Deletesame one I found the tidbit on FDR, down towards the
bottom, above the four story building with the little
children standing looking outwards.
I'm glad the old bastard was incinerated.
Brilliant minds.......:)
