Admiral James Forrestal was a prominent and powerful man.Independently wealthy since his days as president of Dillon, Read, and Company on Wall Street, as Secretary of the Navy he had graced the cover of Time magazine on October 29, 1945.
In September of 1947, even though he had opposed the legislation that created the department, Forretal was made America’s first Secretary of Defense. Widely acclaimed as an extraordinarily dedicated and effective administrator, he rivaled Secretary of State George C. Marshall, as the best known member of President Harry Truman’s cabinet.
Admiral Forrestal was pushed out the sixteenth floor of the Bethesda Naval Hospital about 1:50 A.M. on Sunday, May 22, 1949. There was no police investigation. It was simply stated that he was “depressed.”
Memorize every-single-word from this interesting Twitter dialogue, and note that this is half-jews or reformed jews speaking, supposedly all assimilated, eating pork, barely going to synagogue and maybe not even looking very jewish:
Forrestal had suffered a nervous breakdown, which was why he was a patient at Bethesda.
While he was interned none of his friends were permitted to visit him. Even family were denied access. Only his enemies were permitted to see him, one of whom was Lyndon B. Johnson.
The last person to visit him at Bethesda was the former commander of Pearl Harbor, whose reputation Forrestal had destroyed.
“Forrestal had suffered a nervous breakdown” — they say.
if any of that is true, perhaps they poisoned him with some brain-altering substance.
Let me add, as I recall it was Forrestal’s opposition to America’a recognition of Israel as a nation that caused his mental breakdown. He received a ton of hate mail over this, and it made him lose his wits.
They say…..
Defenestration is just about the perfect crime. It makes the murder victim look like a suicide, a weakling…. and the brutality of it terrifies his friends.
