Imnterview from BOR Show #305, original airdate: January 1, 2007
Loren Singer (1923-2009) wrote the book The Parallax View (1970)
Loren worked for the Office of Strategic Services (OSS ) during WW II
He first had to pass a series of psychological tests
He read studies of Rorschach tests given to top Nazis at Nuremberg
Loren wrote for television and radio, this was his first book
The amount of influence totalitarian governments had on us
A relationship with German Intelligence officer Reinhard Gehlen
Loren didn't like the film, the screenwriters couldn't find the thread
The terrorism threat is sort of gauzy, Where? How?
Unite in order to survive, that's what people will be told
Chapters start with quotes from a fictional handbook
The book is not a solution to the Kennedy assassinations
A list of JFK related deaths, originally Loren scoffed
The military men never became OSS assassins
General William Donovan, committed to the survival of Britain
Psychologists, psychiatrists, geographers, foreign language experts, engineers, weapons instructors
Does a government have the right and or the duty to eliminate numbers of it's citizens to ensure it's survival?
Skating around the edge right now with Guantanamo
Teams ready to do the bidding of corporate or government interests
The recruitment, the film's powerful six minute segment
An OSS competition, three days of psychological testing
Nobody ever passed the final exam, never any finite answer
The people running Parallax were certain to have backups
Loren did not want to do the screenplay
The Manchurian Candidate (1962 film) was much better written
Parallax opens with it's own "Zapruder" film
Six Seconds In Dallas (Thompson 1967), sued by Time, Inc.
