<p>&nbsp;Washington, D.C. – Despite receiving little attention in the mass &nbsp;media, the November 2017 and April 2018 release of more than 35,000 and &nbsp;18,000 documents by the Trump Administration, relating to the &nbsp;assassination of former President Kennedy—which had been withheld from &nbsp;the public for more than 50 years—sheds new light on the president’s &nbsp;murder and the two soldiers who attempted to stop it. While the mainstream media did cursorily cover the two releases, &nbsp;virtually none of the coverage was aimed at the most damning &nbsp;revelations, which included the fact that<strong> two U.S. soldiers in &nbsp;separate locations uncovered cryptographic messages indicating that &nbsp;President Kennedy was going to be assassinated, prior to his murder in &nbsp;Dallas.</strong>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Ominously, both of these soldiers were subsequently institutionalized &nbsp;after attempting to get the information they had uncovered to &nbsp;authorities. The first case involves an army code breaker named Eugene V. Dinkin. U.S. Army Private First Class Eugene Dinkin served in Metz, France, in the 599th&nbsp;Ordinance &nbsp;Group and worked in the cryptography section of his unit. His duties at &nbsp;Metz reportedly included deciphering cable traffic from the European &nbsp;Commands, NATO, etc. A <a href="https://kennedysandking.com/john-f-kennedy-articles/eugene-dinkin-the-saga-of-an-unsung-hero">report</a> by Citizens for Truth About the Kennedy Assassination (CTAKA) explained:&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote><em>On September, 1963, Dinkin noticed material in the &nbsp;Army newspaper,&nbsp;Stars and Stripes,&nbsp;and other print publications, &nbsp;that&nbsp;was negative toward the president and his policies and implied that &nbsp;he was a weak president in dealing with the Russians. The examples that &nbsp;he found became more negative, the suggestion being that if he were &nbsp;removed as president it would be a good thing. By mid-October Dinkin had &nbsp;found enough information—some of it subliminal—that he was convinced &nbsp;that a plot was in the works. One driven by some high-ranking members of &nbsp;the military, some right-wing economic groups, and with support by some &nbsp;national media outlets…</em> <em>Dinkin’s studies forced him to conclude that the plot would &nbsp;happen around November 28, 1963, and that the assassination would be &nbsp;blamed on “a Communist or a Negro”. He then sent a registered letter to &nbsp;Attorney General Robert Kennedy. When he got no reply, he decided on &nbsp;other options.</em></blockquote>
<p>Dinkin gathered his evidentiary material in late October 1963, which &nbsp;included psychological sets he had uncovered that he believed were being &nbsp;used to induce a specific state of mind into citizens’ consciousness &nbsp;regarding President Kennedy in the run-up to his assassination and he &nbsp;went to the U.S. Embassy in Luxembourg in an effort to meet with Mr. &nbsp;Cunningham, the Chargé d’Affaires. Despite Dinkin informing Cunningham by phone that he had important &nbsp;information about a plot to assassinate Kennedy, Cunningham refused to &nbsp;meet with him or look at his evidentiary data.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Upon returning to Metz, his superiors informed him that he was &nbsp;scheduled to undergo a psychological evaluation on November 5, 1963. &nbsp;&nbsp;Dinkin then decided he had to leave his unit and go to Geneva, &nbsp;Switzerland, in an attempt to get this information to someone that could &nbsp;potentially assist in thwarting the assassination attempt. Despite unsuccessfully attempting to speak to the editor of the newspaper,&nbsp;<em>Geneva Diplomat,&nbsp;</em>and a&nbsp;<em>Newsweek&nbsp;</em>reporter, who refused to listen to the information, Dinkin was able to speak to the secretary for <em>Time-Life</em> who was located in Zurich.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=8407#relPageId=2">documents</a> &nbsp;reveal that on November 6, 1963, Dinkin went to the press room of the &nbsp;United Nations office in Geneva, where he informed reporters about the &nbsp;assassination plot. Reporter, Alex des Fontaines, a freelancer for&nbsp;<em>Time-Life </em>and&nbsp;<em>Radio Canada</em>, &nbsp;later told authorities that he and a female reporter both recalled &nbsp;Dinkin discussing the evidence he had uncovered regarding an &nbsp;assassination plot. In fact, the information from Dinkin actually &nbsp;prompted Des Fontaines to file the story on November 26, 1963.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Additionally, an FBI Airtel from the Paris Legation to FBI Director &nbsp;Hoover of February 27, 1964, provides evidence that the FBI was aware of &nbsp;Dinkin’s information, as the Airtel notes that on November 8, 1963—over &nbsp;two weeks before Kennedy’s assassination—a message containing &nbsp;references to Dinkin’s activities noted that his statements and actions &nbsp;had apparently received considerable publicity.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>The documents reveal that despite a wide range of U.S. &nbsp;government officials being made aware of Dinkin’s information, they all &nbsp;failed to report the assassination plot to the White House or Secret &nbsp;Service.</strong>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Dinkin was placed in detention upon his return on November 8&nbsp;and held &nbsp;until November 13—when he was taken to Landstuhl Hospital in Germany &nbsp;for a psychological evaluation, and was subsequently transferred to &nbsp;Walter Reed Naval Hospital, where he was held for four months until he &nbsp;was discharged. While Dinkin was being detained, a man who claimed to be from the &nbsp;Department of Defense visited him and asked him for the data he had &nbsp;collected regarding the assassination plot. Dinkin reportedly told the &nbsp;man where the papers were located. <strong>Upon his release, he realized that all of his data he had collected had been taken.</strong>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In an interview with FBI agents, he said he believed that there had &nbsp;been a plot perpetrated by a “military group,” and abetted by newspaper &nbsp;personnel working with the group that plotted to assassinate President &nbsp;Kennedy. In a completely separate case, two newly released<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170427055126/https://www.nsa.gov/news-features/declassified-documents/jfk/assets/files/jfk00233.pdf"> CIA documents </a>reveal &nbsp;that prior to November&nbsp;1963, Air Force Sergeant David Christensen, who &nbsp;was stationed at Kirknewton, Scotland, intercepted communications that &nbsp;an assassination attempt would be made on President Kennedy.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The documents reveal that Christensen, while stationed at a CIA &nbsp;listening post at an RAF base, reportedly intercepted communications &nbsp;about a plot to assassinate Kennedy—but few other substantive details &nbsp;surrounding exactly what he heard are available. After hearing something he clearly was not intended to hear, and &nbsp;trying to get it sent to NSA, Christensen, like Dinkin, was reportedly &nbsp;committed to a mental health institution. The fact that the cases of these two separate U.S. servicemen were &nbsp;withheld for over 50 years after the assassination clearly leads one to &nbsp;believe that this information was withheld for a reason. If these were &nbsp;two cranks, then why would these reports only be surfacing after 50 &nbsp;years? The testimony of these men was hidden and kept secret for 50 years, &nbsp;as what they heard clearly implied a plot that went well beyond the &nbsp;single-gunman theory of the Warren Commission.&nbsp;</p>
