Jim, thanks for your replies. I certainly have problems with Janney from a literary pov. Dramatic license? How about when Janney describes the goddess like vision of her sunbathing and then her response to being seen. Oh puhleeze. There is a subtle Gnostic skeleton around which he writes his narrative. You have the Kennedy family mired in the material world of sex and power. Then there is the goddess who brings the lost soul to a new consciousness. Nice mythology.
Having said that, JFKU also has a much more explicit Christian structure. Kennedy's "turn to peace" is his Damascus road which comes from his strong Catholic upbringing. Douglass is a Catholic as I recall. The Unspeakable is right out of Thomas Merton's writings. His use of the term "witness" recalls the deaths of the two witnesses in the Apocalypse of John. Witnesses are martyred.
I have had a friend who would not read JFKU because we went to a lecture Douglass gave and he quickly picked up on the Christian framework. He is a rabid atheist. RABID.
Moving on, I recall asking you if Janney's claims about MPM's presence in the Oval Office and in policy meetings were true or not? Your implication is No. But this is a factual claim that should be specifically refuted.
